I'm all in and mining verge!!! STRAIGHT TO THE MOOOOON BOYZZZZZ

I personally think the best coins with a lot of potential are going to be stratis, digibyte, verge, or Denarius. There are of course other coins out there. If you aren't spending a lot of money go with these small market cap alt coins. I personally feel there is better odds in making a large profit. Most main stream coins are hyped and in my personal opinion won't jump up in price at a rapid rate. But I think your best choice is to keep it as a hobby and research some coins, maybe read their goals and what makes them "special" and what projects/contracts  they are currently working on. I'm personally going with verge coin; although I was really interested in mind coin but that seems to be dead now, I think the devs abandoned the project cause even their website is down.

Thanks Tex, I just looked into denarius, and it looks really promising. I like the whole twist on it being an ancient currency from the greek times . The fact they are aiming towards anonymity is definitely a plus in my books. I'm really surprised how many different cryptocurrencies exist now.

Hey everyone,

So, I'm pretty new to the whole alt coin scene. I tinkered a little with bitcoin back in the days when it was like $20 for a bitcoin and regret not continuing my venture in bitcoin :/. But that's old news now. So I have a gaming PC, and I've been trying to find a good Altcoin to start mining. I mined a bit of decred (which apparently is taking off well), but I wanted to get into mining less popular altcoins. Some of the less popular ones that I have been looking into is litecoin ultra, mindcoin (which seems to be dead), deeponion, and verge. Do you guys think I should mine these coins with small marketcap, or should I just stick to mining decred. My specs on my computer are below. I in no way intend to become filthy rich by mining, but see this as a interesting part time hobby . Plus I've been reading a lot of posts here and I love the community! Any recommendations or suggestions are much appreciated!

Also, my electricity bill is paid by the landlord, so I'm obviously not too worried about electricity costs and anything mined is pretty much pure profit minus what I spent for the computer.
