Mining Bitcoin you won't earn much, but you may try your luck at some altcoins. You can use a merged mining pool or multicoin pool such as multipool. However, NVIDIA GPUs aren't very good for mining in general. You won't make a profit, but it can be a neat experiment to do anyway, for load testing perhaps?

hi,

which are the best video tutorials for a novice to learn how to start mining?

[HagssFIN]

Here is some info, more can be found easily online or here at the forum.
You will need to take your time and do a proper research to introduce yourself to Bitcoin mining.
This is no easy way to get rich. You especially need to pay attention to your electricity etc. costs. For most people it is not profitable to mine Bitcoin with the current situation.

Bitcoin mining today is done with ASIC hardware, like for example Antminer S9, AvalonMiner 741, Ebit E9, Antminer T9, Antminer R4, AvalonMiner 721, ...

thanks for the answer.

I'm looking for the best product based on consumption. I have a 1000w power supply.

At the moment I'm using nicehash with my 980ti, it's up to 35mh / s or 420sols / s. Gain $4 per day $120 month
My idea:
setup cost $2000 - build a rig with 6x rx570 - (150-180mh/s) $400-500 per month
setup cost  $6000at the moment - After the prices drop, make it one with 6x 1080ti - ( 70mh/s or much ) $1000-1200 per month

From what you tell me, with even less money I could earn much more ?! With asic antminer & co? really?
What would you do to me?

Second you what is the best product - consumption / gain ??

Thanks you at all!!

I faced the samekind of problem. Thinking to start to mine and don;t know what equipment is going to be the best. And isn't it too late to start to mine at all?
