Hello everyone,
Well, I certainly missed the boat :'D just learned about bitcoin mining... let's say I was busy learning about other non-profitable stuff, lol!
I have free electricity, and have some few grands to spare on some online-based trade... I love the idea of cryptocurrencies and mining, and being a security and networking specialist I'm already thinking of turning my home-lab into a mining farm x'D
Anyway, now to the questions:
* Would it be a good idea to start mining in some altcoins?
* if yes, can you share an advice for a beginner (which HWs to buy? which SWs and wallets to use?... I already have few computers at home, would they be of any good if I installed good GPUs in them? I even have few HP Gen5 and 6 servers with dual Xeon CUPs).
Thank you all!
Cheers
Val
Start with what you have. Some coins favour CPU mining, others GPU and some ASIC, search
around the forum for them. See my sig for CPU mining software.
If you're a gamer you can mine with your GPUs or you can buy some. Again search around the forum to get an idea about
what GPUs and software to use.
If you like the taste you can invest more.
