Hello , i want to know if mining is worth it and what are the best cryptos to mine ?
What kind of hardware is worth to buy with a minimum budget, I've done some research online but the numbers are not the same , any suggestions would be good.

check out the mining board, there are good topics there which you can read and gain more information: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0

there are also online "calculators" which you can also use to calculate how much profit you can earn (if any) based on your hardware (hashrate) and electricity cost plus the difficulty of different coins. an example site is this one: https://whattomine.com/

in the end it will come down to your costs and  your choices. for example choosing coins that are getting pumped and mining them to dump at their pump peak is going to be more profitable.
in my opinion it is not worth it to enter mining if you don't have extremely cheap electricity even if you have a medium level cost and can make it profitable.

I think withthe increasing prices btc mining has become somewhat profitable again and this can also be confirmed by the fact that some of the biggest mining firms have started mining btc again about devices and profit ratio you can check genesis mining packages to get an idea.

Depends on what altcoins you going to mine, the cost of your electricity, the hardware you gonna get. Someone provide you a link and a calculator, go check it out and see what fits your goal.

Remember though that it might take you months or even years to make a good ROI, so just be patience and keep going until you see some positive balance in your wallet. There is also this thing called Masternode, maybe you're interested so explore it. Goodluck to you.

Depends on what you want to mine, if electricity is cheap enough you should search a calculator and see how much you can mine and if you can make a profit, and how much you want to invest, i started with USB MLD 2 and i mined litecoin but they not have high hashrate and the profit is low and when market go down i was in a loss if i sell at the end of month because the price of electricity.

Sorry, I have never done mining in crypto, so there is no suggestion that I have to give, maybe you can get advice from others about mining for crypto which is good, if mining is very promising for success I will also try it.

mining has many advantages, but the risk must also be needed because mining requires a large amount of money in any way. mining ethereum is the safest and can be used as a choice for miners

as parties with the altcoin mining have with use of selection on tools and application to work on tasks with the mining, different unit on identification with the strings on appeals as indicating use with contrast of value on constants to gives of reference on one with the priors to put on ranks of efforts as working with the scheme on plan with altcoin investment.

You want to start hard drive mining it is safer way to buy some product and start mining our own electricity. But current situation many countries electricity cost was too high so most of new starters are carefully check. So you can analyse our own way is the right decision. But If you want some exact details about the Hard drive mining and online mining surely all are help to you.

I think mining in the current situation is just throwing away your money because in reality only the loss that you will get is not profit,the high cost of electricity is not balanced with income

It could be worth something if you found a promising coin in it's early stage. For my own example, I made quite a profit mining biblepay..
But competing for hashes for largely mined coins would be nearly impossible for individual miners. If you mean to start a profitable mining farm, you should start big.

if you have minimum funds, I suggest for Clound Minning only, with Clound Mining you don't have to bother to prepare mining tools, but the profit you get depends on the hashrate you buy

It depends on what you mine and where you mine. Depends on the cost of electricity, equipment and maintenance.
If you reside in a country with cheap electricity, you can order a number of miners and start making profit from it.
Some algo and new coins still could be mined from gpu.

I dont think clound mining is a good choice in this world anymore when most of Clound mining are useless nowadays even when we use money to buy higher hashrat, it is still too small for us to withdraw, in contrast, mining using computer hardwares is more popular in this world, but still have a hard life when the market is in down trend, so i still think crypto mining by computer hardwares is good enough only when the market is green.

Crypto mining is really worth it as long as you have what it takes. By what it takes i mean your time and energy and also being diligent.I will suggest Clound mining

I assume that you already done reading things about electricity expenses and the cost of those equipments that you needed, because from there you will be able to find on your owned if mining still profitable, if you are still convince to proceed best to find new coins that have good potentials as there's still few miners and the stake will be much higher.

Yes it is a very precise specification where all of your after-mining needs and costs, learn more and round your trust to mine because market conditions don't continue to get more benefits as you think and coins that are valuable for mines like Bitcoin or altcoin above back again it can't be done quickly, there may be other options for that.

I think it's still worth it to mine if you're after some altcoins. But mining Bitcoin might require a warehouse of miners to make good profit. I could be wrong though.

I don't think it's really worth for small capital. But you can find mining calculators online, to find a profitable coins with limited budget and make sure that you have researched all well before buying any machines. Also, please note that you better to forget about Bitcoin mining  ;D ;D ;D

I would not advise mine right now.  Because the equipment is expensive and electricity too.  This has become a very unprofitable business.  Even China wants to give it up.  I see no point in mining if you can trade.

That depends on the situation. Which coin/token will make a profit, the price of electricity at your country and so on. I am not interested in mining, but it is clear to all of us that it is not as profitable as in the past.

The only problem why China wants it to stop is because of the strong power consumption but if OP had a better power source like a solar power source. And also it depends on what crypto does OP want to mine, but just like what you have said it is not the best time to enter the mining business since the equipment is getting expensive everyday.

I have also tried to go into mining, but it is not what i can do successfully particularly where i am located. No matter how good the coin to be mined might be or even the package it might come with, i cannot venture such. One of the major problem i am encountering is electricity. So you have to out some factors into consideration. If you find them favourable, you might then consider mining BTC.

Buy ASIC and don't buy or create GPU mining rig if you wanna get maximum profit. That's more effective than build GPU. The latest mining report says ASIC miners if very profitable and at the first, you must decide what are you looking for that. A single asic miners is much better than a few GPUs.

that report based on the tokeninsight's analysis.

If you can do it the right way
I believe crypto mining is worth it

In crypto currency mining ; you need to work smart and not work hard
So get the right farming equipments

I think mining is still worth it because their are still a lot of good coins to mine that has great potential in market in a long run, before I am mining ETH now i switch to Veil coin because the difficulty in mining is still low and the good thing about this CRYPTO Coin is it has a huge reward in staking :D

I think mining crypto still worth as long the electricity tariff reasonable and the price of coin worth compare with our cost. Right now many miners selling their equipment at cheaper price and if want to mining, its worth to buy and start mining coin

I can tell you that it is not worth to mine now. It is not profitable anymore like before. But if you are really decided to proceed with mining. Always consider things like.choose potential coin to mine , the GPU and how much the electricity it consumes.

Since you are a beginner, read this guide: https://www.lifewire.com/cryptocoin-mining-for-beginners-2483064

Goodluck!

Well, I won't advise you to go into mining unless you want to go in big, because mining is no longer as profitable as it used to be in past times, and for now in order to make profit in mining you will need to own lots of miner in your possession, unless the cost for electricity in your country is not so much, then you can own just a few miners and still make some profit off it, it all depends on the cost of power in your country, over here power is very expensive.

I belong to those people who believe that mining is dead. We refused to mine with friends many years ago. Because it is not very profitable. Well, you discourage $ 3000 for a couple of years. This is the case if your video cards do not pop up.

At the moment, yes, when bitcoin was 3k$ and ethereum was 80$, then there were big problems for miners and many people decided to quit mining because mining didn’t make a profit at that time, but now the market has started to recover and it is already possible to mine for make a profit.

you can go to this mining sections, if you want to know about mining on cryptocurrencies my friend
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0

anyway, in my opinion for now trading is better than mining my friend
if you trading, you don't need to buy a hardware,
just learn about trading seriously, i believe soon or later you will understand how to trade correctly

It will be more beneficial to go for trading now instead of rummaging through a endless work with little or no benefits, mining requires a lot of funds to start up such as buying the mining machines, power supply consumption and many others while trading only need time and understanding and the profits are always unpredictable.

It depends on what coin you mine, cause I'm not miner I don't know what coin is good to mine, maybe you can mine coin on the top 50 on coinmarketcap for safety.
But if you really want to mining, you must calculate the currency price, electricity, the miner machine etc.

Some people said that mining will be good in a place that have low cost of electricity. Because it will affect on your earning when mining coin. Beside pick a good coin that will make a profit, research about your place first is good. And it is good to do some research to other factor that will affect on mining rewards before we do mining.

I have been checking the same thing for a long time as well. I have been around crypto for over 6 years and I have seen the insane increase in bitcoin mining and how it became some industrial thing instead of a daily hobby thing for people. I wanted to wait out until the technology could reach to its potential first and than calculate what could be done. I am not saying mining can't improve more from now on, I am just saying the potential for higher was available at the time and it was obvious it would go up very quickly so I waited that.

Now that we are here I am checking and I can't really see too much in mining, you can still do it, the pools and machines and software are all better nowadays so you can do it easily at least (was a bit difficult back in the day) but unfortunately the profits are not really lucrative.

That's how everyone here thinks about this matter, knowing all the grounds and make sure that you'll be able to review and research things that may affect your decision making, you need to make sure that you undergo with deep research and study about the market situations.

Yes, mining is still worth it if you're too considerate about the electricity on your place. If it's kinda cheap, you're definitely on the right place to mine and it is a bonus if the climate and weather there seems to be good. For the best coins to mine https://whattomine.com/

How much your budget would be? that's the first question that you should answer so that everyone can estimate on what are the potential hardware (ASIC/GPU) you should be able to purchase. Also check the Mining (Altcoins) for this kind of topic.

I tried this service, and personally this is not the way to go.  Cloud Mining is proven to be not profitable.  Even renting hashes often times is unprofitable unless  you are planning to hodl until the price of the coins you are mining to go up.

Profitability on mining greatly depends on the electricity cost.  If you are living in a low rate electricity country then it is worth crypto mining but if it is the opposite, then I guess better buy tokens or coins in the market.

Especially mining. Because some electronic things decreased its price when we want to sell it again. Some of my friend attracted from seller who said to them if after mining, their tools will can easy to sell but it is not like what they expected. So, risk must be think first before do something like mining.
