Hi
I'm new to the world of cryptocurrency and mining, so forgive me if I'm going to ask very stupid questions.
I have read multiples articles online and watched videos on youtube about these subjects and, considering I don't have to pay for electricity and I have 1 PC powered on 24/7 with this HW and SW:
i7 920 D0 @4GHz (soon I will buy a ryzen 1600x)
12GB DDR3 @1600MHz (soon I will buy 16 GB of DDR4 at higher frequency to match the ryzen)
One GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! Extreme edition
250 gb ssd + multiple HDD
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
these are my questions:
1) It will be profitable for me to mine?
2) If yes, should I mine in pool or not?
3) Ethereum or Zcash? Considering also how much eth is increasing right now
4) What are the best software for mining (ethereum and Zcash)
5) How I get my wallet and how I protect my money? I have read this about the second question:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=17240.0Is that the only way or are there easier ways?
Thanks
