Hi guys!

There are still some coins/algorithm designed for CPU and GPU mining. For example Cryptonight, Blake, X-Series, Quark, WhirlpoolX...
But which is the best when I dont have such a super gaming rig with some powerful Processors and Gpus in it.
I have a mid range one that can still play games like GTA 5 and COD Advanced Warfare fluently on middle settings. (Have GT 730) So I dokt expect to get huge money from my computer.

But what is the best coin to mine then, to at least get some revenue (about 0.1-1$ a day). I dont care about electronic bills that much, so I dont want the profitability, just the revenue I would get. Also, I dont plan to overclock anything - the last thing I want is to damage my hardware for none-revenue mining

Thanks!

You should try insta-mining some new altcoins, for example I mined QUBIT coins successfully with my GPU rigs, they are very profitable if you're a quick miner. Leave X11, X13, Scrypt and others...

I would recommend GPU/CPU mining for someone to learn about mining, and see the ins and outs.  For profit not recommended on the major coins.

I tried mining Qubit, but it isnt profitable anymore... I roughly get 0.00005 btc every day leaving my computer on. Which is basically nothing.
What are the algortihms that I can use now? I see a whole list of them, Quark and Cryptonight came to my mind. They are good to mine, but are there any better ones?
Also, what do you mean by insta-mining?!

Uhmm, sir, that was not my question. You havent read my whole thread and just posted something, right? I dont care about making profit through that. And I dont plan to buy a mining rig to mine some coins, I just want to know which Algortithm/Altcoin I could mine that would be the best for me

In that case there is a website for that.  http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

Plug in how much hashing power your rig does on the various algorithms and the website tells you what you make the most profit on given current market prices.

Good luck.
