Hello everyone pretty new to this. I want to start mining and actually got my computer setup to try it with Dogecoins. Seems cool but I guess my question is what is worth mining? Seems to me that mining a bitcoin is pointless. I would spend more money on a better rig and electricity. My current rig isn't bad but seems like i would needs some r290x or something instead of my gtx7 series. Is there any one coin that i should be looking into? Thanks again.
First thing I'd suggest, is read as much as you can, there's lots of tut available, read opinions here and elsewhere and how to mine and in general try toget a feel for how mining works as an idea as well as a practical process.
If you have a rig already, play with various setting, try squeeze every hash you can out of your cards.
You could try the different mining software available until you find one that suites your needs and you feel comfortable with.
After that, maybe start to mine different coins to get an idea of how difficulty works, block rewards, transactions, pools etc
But if you forced me to pick a coin hmmm. I would just suggest any scrypt coin with relatively low difficulty, you might not earn much but when you start to see deposits coming into your wallet its a nice feeling lol
Cheers
