Hi everyone.
What is the best minable and profitable coin right now?
Any one you mine with free hardware and free electricity
Other than that, almost none of them.
There is some truth in your statement. I'm not sure any coin can give enough profit to justify buying a CPU rig and running it 24/7 at home, but if you already have hardware and free/cheap electricity you can try to accumulate some coins. Personally I am doing exactly this mining Webchain (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmintmemintmecom-coincpu-miningdapps-via-websitesno-icoasic-3649170) with unused server at work.
Will not be drawn as to which coin, but i am mining on average 50,000 sats every day using 4-5 threads on a AMD 2400G cpu (running costs whole pc - 35p a day, 50,000 sats £2.35, so £2 or $2.50 ish profit)
Now a 1 sat coin, but uptill 5 days ago was 2 sat coin, so was double current earnings...( yes £4.50 a day, on 5 threads )
There are several of these kicking around, you just got to put in a lot of serious amount of hunting, and have a bit of good luck too...
Daft as it sounds since x11 is ASIC now, but there are quite a few old x11 coins that are profitable, not with cpu, but with low end gpu, or if you can write a private pool, very profitable, with the cheapest Baikal miner (Baikal mini? i think the 150mh/s one).... with cpu / gpu miners you can mine direct to local wallet, but with asic, you need some form of stratum or pool (usually), and for the Newbies...YES, you WILL have to download the entire blockchain, and YES, it may take days, (in fact it may take a couple of weeks occassionally)
When you find them thou, keep em quiet or 1 big rig will kill it off...forever
Again, wont say which coin, but i was happily making 75p a day on an x11 coin for weeks, diff was 0.00013 (yes thats right) i was winning about 47% of all blocks, then came back to zero coins last week, some idiot hit it with 27Gh/s, i was using 2.1 mh/s, so they mined for a few hours, got bored, left the diff at 14821....over 1 million fold increase in diff....so, who ever that was Thanks, will never become mineable for me again....
So do loads of hunting, play it cool, and find a niche, and maybe, just maybe, in several months, those coins will become worth something substantial.
Good luck
