Most Profitable Algorithm?

[Enzyme]

Hi,

I'm wondering what the most profitable algorithm is, to mine with a PC (CPU or GPU) or ASIC.

Thanks

If you're talking about an ASIC, this question makes no sense. Any given ASIC (some exceptions like
the early gridseed chip aside) mines just one algorithm, you have no choice. If you want to
choose an ASIC based on profitability, you can choose between SHA and Scrypt(-N), and both
are not very profitable at the moment. I have the feeling Scrypt got even worse by now, as
LTC basically turned out to be a shitcoin (more or less)..

If you want to think outside the box -- try BURST coin.  It uses POC (proof of hard drive capacity mining).  Very interesting…

do u have ant thread about that it's seems very interesting i heard you first time ?

[Amph]

there were energy efficient algo, or just not well optimized, but they were not profitable anyway, besides at launch...

It's not really about algo anymore. You have to catch the coins/moments when diff is low and price still reasonable. It's a tough detective work.

Maybe you find a good (multi) pool, but I think that those days are nearly over too.

Most profitable algorithm:


Close your laptop, go to work, work, get money.

I understand that

Although, mining is like a hobby for me.

PM sent to OP.

i dont think there is one dominantly profitable algorithm, its more about knowing what coins to mine at any given time, then selling them at the right time

I'm not a expert, but I do like to do my research before . What's wrong with these?

It changes all the time.  One thing you can do is go to places like nicehash.com and you can see what they are reporting as most profitable.  But, you really need to do more like consider power costs and equipment costs.
