I used to mine bitcoin a lot. Now I've got a garage of dusty mining gear, and have gone all in on Masternode coins. Beats mining hands down! No gear to buy, no extra power to pay for.
Here is some background info:

https://masternodes.pro/I use XenServer and host several nodes on a single PC. The cost of running 1 node is about the same as running 50 (yes, maybe one day
) , and the profit potential is pretty ridiculous if you diversify into a few of these coins.
So if you're doubtful if this gear is worth it, try this first
