New user too.  Playing the investing game 'cause I don't have hardware worth mining on.

Hi Michael

Thanks for the reply, the computers at work are on all the time doing very little anyway, so thought I may as well put them to use

Was thinking about an Asic for the computer at home

But what coins would people recommend I mine for?



If your going the ASIC route, it all depends on how much power your gonna buy. I, for example, have about 4GHS, so I go on sites like Coinwarz to calculate the profitability of the coins with my hardware. Great site, I have it in my bookmark bar.

Hi there all

thought I would introduce myself, looking at all these different coins etc can get a little confusing.

I have a i7 with 16gigs ram dell XPS at home, and at work I have 2 i5's available to me.

What would you recommend I mine with that hardware specification?

Thanks

Hey, and welcome to the community! Always nice to see new faces.

With those CPU's you could mine CPU-only coins like Quarkcoin, Protoshares, Primecoin and Securecoin to name a few. Just use the forum search for CPU only coin and i'm sure you will find a lot. Make sure the coin you mine is on an exchange so you can cash them in.

Cheers,

Hi,

as fas as i understood the whole topic is using a i5 or i7 waste of money.
The way to go seems to be a a sic miner, they do the job much faster and
with less power consumption than a desktop computer.

Bye
