I want to mine luxcoin, but it's been incredibly hard figuring out how to do it. Been researching on youtube and reddit but there isn't any good info on either.

Can I just buy any "gaming" desktop that has a GPU in it or do I have to build a mining rig for it? I don't want to do that because that is a ton of work and I've never done it before.

If Lux coin is Gpu mineable coin which I think it is, buy an already made and configured mining rig.

There are a lot of them for sale in ebay and amazon. They perform much better for mining compared to a gaming Pc no matter how strong the gaming pc is as a mining rig has minimum 6 graphic cards when done right.

The Lux's algorithm is Phi. It can be mined by GTX and RX cards, but it's easily mined by GTX cards. You can mine with a decent hashpower with GTX1070/1070ti or better. These cards performs good with @Enemy's miner.

Sometimes I mine Lux and Folm in Awesomeminer. These coins is growing fast.

Ok so you use a mining rig right? Not a computer.

A mining rig still being a computer.

My ComRIG is a common PC, with Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a GTX1070, but with some cables (risers) connected to another 4 GPUs (2xGTX1060, a RX580 8GB and a RX570 4GB). It's a "hybrid".

Wow ok damn. I know building a similar setup would be hard because I would have to research everything from the beginning. Thanks man.

It's not that difficult to build.  If you can put together a pc, you can build a mining rig.  Only difference is that you'll be attaching multiple gpu's to the same board.  The other question is ... Is it worth doing from a monetary stand point?  Hodl'ing your coins is the name of the game in gpu mining right now.

Ok, I want you to walk back in there and very calmly, very politely tell the risk assessors to fuck off! -Mark Baum
