What's a few good altcoins to mine?

[Nathan047]

As a person with regular consumer hardware who wants to try crypto currency mining for the first time I know that bitcoin is not going to be very profitable (not that I expect to earn much anyway). Does anybody know of a few coin types that are much easier to mine?

oh the question we are all asking ourselves all the time ...

Find out what the hardware you currently have can do, hashrate wise different algos, be it CPU or GPU.

then stick those numbers into a online calculator like whattomine.com.

then you mine the one that is most profitable.



a simple way is nicehash.com ... they have a simple windows application that will benchmark your stuff and start mining whatever is most profitable, paying out in Bitcoin when you reach a certain threshold.

or ... use any/all of the separate miner applications for the different algorithms .. search for "Eth Miner" "Zec Miner" "XMR Miner" (ETH,ZEC,XMR) being some of the most popular coins to mine currently.

and then you hold the coins hoping for price increase or trade directly to bitcoin, whatever you're feeling.


Why did i type all this .. pure boredom.

Use the NiceHash miner, it will mine the best coin with your hardware and pay you in bitcoin.
