Dear,

I was trading Coins since some time ago and I want now to get into mining, so I was reading some tutorial from here and there, and I'm feeling lost, so please I want to get an orientation from you guys,

My questions are :

1) Which better coin to mine now, I read that ETH is the best right now, is it?
2) I am planing to make a rig of 6 GPU, so which graphical card should I get,taking in consideration that the electricity is very cheap for me Smiley
3) If there are any tutorial to help, I will be grateful

Thanks

Even before you get into mining, read this forum as much as you can. Then you need to mention you budget or plan how much you want to put in.

https://blockoperations.com/6-gpu-mining-rig-amd-rx580-intel-lga-1151-ethereum-zcash/

very detailed mining setup. easy to follow.

About mining coins. Mine something that you are willing to hold for a while, unless you absolutely need money then use whattomine.com and mine whatever is profitable.

good luck

This is the most important thing. Also ETH isn't that profitable anymore. I would recommend buying an NVIDIA mining rig.

2000-2500$
GTX 1060 6GB x6

3000-3500$
GTX 1070 x6

4000-4500$
GTX 1080 x6

5000-5500$ GTX 1080Ti x6

All of these card configurations cost varying amount of money and are all good for mining VTC. VTC consistently has been one of the top earners for a while.

If you can find them go for AMD RX 480/580 (more power consumption but that is not a problem for you) or if you can't find them go for RX 470/570 . Nvidia GPUs are only good for mining Zcash and taking into consideration nature of the coin, who knows for how long it will be profitable.

Buy 1BTC and forget about it, and check the price 10 year later.
