Title: Virtually 10.000 coins out there. Where to find a mining overview?
Post by: cryptoabundance on May 02, 2021, 07:14:05 AM
Hello,

according to coinmarketcap there are nearly 10.000 coins out there.
Where can I find an overview on them with focus on mining?
Which coins can be mined? What is the estimated ROI etc.?

Only BTC in this section.

I will ask for you to be moved to Alt coins.

You need few numbers of mining calculator, there is no need trying to fish all available PoW coins out since majority of them aren't profitable, the most profitable to mine will always be the 1st on mining calculators

It depends on the GPU you possess, just use these websites for any GPU you have and the most profitable coin to mine will be revealed to you

Do you want information about new coins?
Then follow the new topics in this section.

Use this calculator for old coins
https://whattomine.com/calculators
and there are no profit calculators for new coins, because these coins are not traded on exchanges

There are 10000 coins out there however maybe less than 100 are mineable. Most are tokens these days. Tokens are basically created and sold as an ICO and those you can't mine. You can only mine ETH which is the network that these tokens are run on.

Besides BTC/BCASH 95% of people mine ETH mostly. There is LTC and DOGE but you need ASICs for that. Then there are ETH forks like ETC which is unprofitable due to ASICs and there is XMR which is only good if you got a high end Ryzen CPU.

So just go to the calculator posted above and insert your GPU and power costs and it will give you a good estimate how much you will make.

I see that you are using coinmarketcap. If you choose "add filter" you can choose "minable" and see how much coins you can mine ever. Then choosing algos between GPU and CPU mining you will see that your choice decrease once again. Then in any mining calculator you can check profitability of these coins and see that you can mine just about 20-30 coins.
