Used to mine Litecoin on ASIC. Frankly, the yield per day did not exceed 12 $, and taking into account the cost of electricity - 8 $, not thick!
Now I'm thinking about the mastenodes, i've been watching the news about them for a while now. I'm trying to choose from three: GoByte, Zest and LUX.
Still, I'm looking towards the first coin - it's too tempting to hear the latest news about the decline in the cost of the transaction and the increase in profits for the owners of masternodes, which is not the case with other coins - they promise 70% of the award against 30% to the miners. It sounds attractive, and GoByte is not just another scam project - they've already collected the funds and the product is working. Guys, I need you help! Which coin would you prefer from these three and why?
Those percentages looks very attractive but im quite hesitant to deal with it.Just to make sure that its worth it then better seek out deeper information. In regards with masternodes i had experienced with Minex but its not mineable. Among the 3 given i would go for Gobyte.
You can mine on most modern Intel CPUs, like i5, i7 or Xeons, but you have to check if this is profitable for you. It depends on many factors, like power cost, parts cost, which coin and algo you want to mine, etc. All this you have to calculate for yourself when you know your rig hashpower.
You are correct, this would really vary on the computations with your profitability yet there are lots of factors to consider first to have that final calculation.
