Topic: A newbie starting out with Altcoin(s) (Read 971 times)
Why not fiddle with a few miners and see what coins you like and try mine them then buy a few more to add extra bulk and buy and sell them on the market. This way you can get use to mining and using wallets and have first hand experience with different coins. You do not have to buy many. Just mine a day or two per coin.
Hello again everyone.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my first thread, I got advised to start mining altcoins instead of focusing on Bitcoin, since it's going to be a rough ride if I want to get on that wagon.
I went onto "whattomine.com" and saw that Zcash was good in price, but since I dont have linux, Zcash is not possible for me right now.
I then got rather confused, because alot of mining are based on graphics cards, but mostly graphics cards besides Nvidia?
So my question is, what altcoin should i focus on, I am currently sitting with an I7 4790K CPU and Nvidia Geforce GTX970
Thanks!

Your Gpu are ok if you want to mine you can mine,Zcash clone there at least 4 or 5 zcash clone and you can mine some of them using windows alone,Zcash is ok but people are giving it negative reviews because of the founders rewards.

you shouldn't go for hardware mining because of coastly electricity but here i will suggest you for trade with altcoin .Thank you to everyone who responded to my first thread, I got advised to start mining altcoins instead of focusing on Bitcoin, since it's going to be a rough ride if I want to get on that wagon.

But you need to do wisely . first of all make buy of alt which is at low price from one week and order to sell it at high rate in advance in this way you will get Profit .
if his electricity fee is low, i think he can try it at least he will know how to mining and if he satisfy and decide to continue then he can continue to mining. maybe he need to make calculate for the electricity first so he knows how much he will spend for mining with hardware.
when i see on the https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/asus/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-ethereum-mining/ i see Nvidia Geforce GTX970 have 15,900.0 KH/s and i was surprised. i wonder can Nvidia Geforce GTX970 used to mining zcash too? and how much we can get?

Actually you could able to to mine zcash on your pc hence you do have a good specced PC and a good GPU i guess. Mining ZEC is good specially on earlier days of zcash but now its not profitable already, in my own opinion and as you can see the latest price of each zec as of now is already dropped to 0.14 btc. You could choose another altcoin to mine its either ETH or XMR.
Eth is not advisable to mine as of now because it is facing a lot off bugs and attacks. I will not risk my time mining a coin that have many tecnical issues. I will go for xmr if we consider the profit and its future price.

i am not an expert in mining but a quick search turns up these results:

use at your own risk also you can ask in the Mining (altcoin) board.

check out coinwarz.com they have a good calculator for mining everything that can calculate your earnings.
If you're set on trying to mine try burstcoin (BURST) as one of your options. All you need is free HDD space (the more the better)....it is Proof of Capacity, a very energy efficient way to mine.

Remember you can always mine Burst at the same time you use your GPU or CPU to mine other coins!
There is a small increase in CPU activity when a new block is found, otherwise your computer is using basically no resources to mine other than being turned on.
Right now my rig is mining Monero with GPU and has some extra hard drives hooked up to it mining Burst.
The Burst team also has some really good developers, a fully-developed GUI wallet that includes the miner and some other cool features.
Hopefully the coin takes off one day because its a really cool project.
I would look at the big marketcaps in cryptocoin marketcap, and then see the correlation between marketcap and coin price. If the correlation is similar and it's uptrending then look at the project. You will see that most projects are useless scams, and the best you can do with alts is profit from the right pum and dump to make more BTC from them, which is a nice way to make BTC.
The same here, Im looking for a coin which is known in the market.
At first Im checking in coinmarketcap of the supply if it has big
supply or less. Also, you can search the altcoin if it has a good
project. And, much better also to invest in a coin which is cheaper
price and wait the price to rise in the market that sure you will gain you
more profit.

If it has to be an altcoin then Litecoin, otherwise stick to Bitcoin.

What is your OS? Zcash is possible to run in windows and other. Nope, you can do that with nvidia, mostly the people are search about the effectively use radeon GPU.Thank you to everyone who responded to my first thread, I got advised to start mining altcoins instead of focusing on Bitcoin, since it's going to be a rough ride if I want to get on that wagon.

It is possible for you starting for zcash.
Worst case scenerio, you can mine PPC or CRW... they are SHA 256 coins
you can mine zcash using windows too, there's a version of nicehash miner available at github.
If you will be mining zcash only to sell for bitcoin, just download at nicehash and go ahead, but if you want to hold(not a good idea), go for the github version.

You may consider trading your card for an Ati one if there is any market for used cards near you.
Do not trust any of them.
I would look at the big marketcaps in cryptocoin marketcap, and then see the correlation between marketcap and coin price. If the correlation is similar and it's uptrending then look at the project.

Are there no windows zcash miners for your set up right now? I am sure there are. Look up geniol or something or if you don't mind running a closed source miner that could contain anything then run claymore's miner I think that is even faster.
I would check out the mining section and check out ethereums profit compared to zcash... maybe go 50/50 or check daily on which is best.
