I have mine some altcoins. Mining is not profitable, except sometime if you succeed to mine at the very start of a coin. But price tends to fall after a certain time. So it is better to immediately sell your coin. Except if you really believe in the very long term of the coin. The cost of mining a coin is like paying the double price of a coin at the current market price. I don't think it is worth to mine any coin. I don't have any ASIC miner, maybe it is more profitable with a specialized hardware. But with a computer and GPU cards, it is not worth the investment as you have to pay your electricity bill and your hardware becomes old faster and can get burned.
The explosion of mining industry in 2017 ended months ago, since the middle months of 2018. At current period, mining is surely unprofittable if you choose to mine altcoins, most of them. Especially if you choose to mine top altcoins, which have extremely high difficulties on their network, and their prices look like shit now. If you don't mine bitcoin, you should not think of altcoin mining now. Instead, using money to directly invest in altcoins now is better. You won't have to suffer uncomfortable feelings from heat emitted from mining rigs.  Wink

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Buying coins and holding them is certainly more profitable than mining.

It has been three years since I entered the crypto market. But sadly I have not had any experience of mining. People and my friends suggest me to mine bitcoin, Ethereum and other famous coins. But I do not have any knowledge about mining. So at this moment, I am very much satisfied with buying and trading coins.
There is no problem to learn more about him. For 3 years I am sure you could find all the information you need. I would love to do mining,especially since it is a guaranteed passive income,but the problem is that I do not have a suitable room for this.If you compare the more profitable to engage in mining or trading, then most likely I would advise you to do both of these. By synchronizing these 2 activities, you can increase your assets.

BTC   Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System   BTC
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.

the multifaceted nature of mining has expanded ordinarily in that year.
As I would see it, it is smarter to pick a few altcoins and simply put resources into them on a long haul premise and trust you will get substantially more benefit than with mining in light of the fact that so as to earn substantial sums of money on mining need to put well in hardware.

When the price will get back to ATHs, it would be profitable to mine, but right now, the difficulty is too high and the prices are low. So I do not see the point of mining altcoins, when you can just invest in them and take profit anyway.

Actually there is another option called staking. You can get profits from staking altcoins, no need to spend money for electricity. Simple, but more efficient.
