Question about mining various cryptocurrencies?
Is there a different hard drive/equipment needed to mine each currency?
As each one does have a different rate of processing as Bitcoin is a slower one vs Etherum
etc.
would there be a price difference in mining a lower end Currency for equipment and running times?
thanks
It really depends on what you want to mine. BTC is asics only as due to difficulty GPU mining is obsolete long time ago. Ether is probably bets with AMD saphire cards, but it is very hard to find them in the market cuz of demand. Zcash, HUSH, LUX, SUMO etc. works good with nvidia.
I personally do not mine top 10 coins for its insane difficulty. It is better to mine new altcoins and exchange them to the ones you want. It gives you as much as twice bigger profits.
