I prefer investing on old pos coins, i don't get intention of going back to mining soon because its not profitable like before and most new altcoins with low difficulties are shitcoins, staking all the way for me
that's true. mining is not worth anymore. So many old miners are coming to the old altcoin. I seen some altcoins were getting a huge increase on its hashrate. But how profitable the staking coin depends on how much your coin in your wallet and staking yield. It's not easy to decide whether it will be profitable or not
I think this topic have made before by some one and OP try to make the same topic discussing about which one better staking and mining both ways to earn bitcoin, I have good opinion better staking than mining to earn bitcoin because with staking you only need hold your assets in some altcoin support with staking and waiting for distribution not like bitcoin mining have to prepare mining tools and keep good access electric and internet.

I have never been involved in mining, but I think that it is really worth remembering about it, I just think that everyone remembers the GRIN project that entered the market and made rich some miners who started to mine it from the start, because at any moment on the horizon the same a potentially good project that can turn the cryptocurrency mining industry upside down again, you must always be vigilant.

Coin Staking is definitely more eco friendly and power consumption friendly than mining altcoins
I agree POW is good at some point but it is wasting too much electrics
But its similar like how people run their server with tons of hardware, its the same thing

Overall, both POS/POW have their pros and cons
But anyhow Ethereum transisting from POW > Full POS
We all know staking seems better

Both are not profitable right now. But it's not bad in just taking chances. As of now, I'm not really into mining altcoins but staking does not give me a lot of money and most of the time, there is no pay in it. I still want to get into this community though.

I’m turning my eyes towards staking alts, since the market is struggling to pick itself up for the last 2 years and (probably) the only profitable thing in 2019 was mining. Let’s discuss solid projects with decent returns here. Appreciate any insights and info!

In my opinion you shouldn't  try to make earning by investment in mining like project because mining in not profitable since 2 year ( as I know) .
About 2-3 years back mining of etherium was profitable at some extent but now not because of high cost of electricity and high performance system (miner) .
But still you can go with the stacking , because stacking work can be done with simply install corresponding core wallet of the coin , and after that you have to run your pc daily and also you have to out the amount of the coin for which you are looking to get stacking  reward  .
My most loving coin to make stack is DGB , because it gives more reward then any another coin ( in my knowledge) .
So decide yourself according to it .

The most talked about is Ethereum 2.0.
I have read it but it looks like you will need large amount for it to profitable.
It is not really that different from other altcoins with staking process.

If it is cheap then I might bite into it but if the price would be as large as hundreds of dollars per piece then that would really be a problem specially when there will be billions of it.

No doubt mining is profitable all the time but when the price was around $3400 in 2018 then various miner has left the mining due to not more profitable because of the cost of mining not generating more profit, As compare to shaking is profitable because you to have less cost than mining. So you can stake NRG Coin that is good profitable coin.

Staking is one of the most talked-about topics in recent months. If the conditions are suitable for you, try. But look at the wallets, not the exchanges in this respect. Although you can keep the fund safe in your wallets, there is not this kind of chance at the exchange. Start exploring from the atomic wallet: https://atomicwallet.io/staking

staking is also not that simple as it looks like
you need to invest in the coins itself as each and every coin has there bare minimum balance required to start staking
most of the pos coins requires you to set up a system which can be online 24 7 for the wallet to run and act as a node
for this you can use raspberry pi as the power consumption will be very nominal
dpos coins does not need a system which is 24 7 online and once you vote delegates
you will receive your fair share over time which will keep on accumulating
also check and research about masternode coins
also a passive way to earn crypto

 i thought before that staking was the same as hodling or investing .  in short i found that easy but not now until i see your explanation but by the way thanks for that explanation of yours  . now im equiped with knowledge and i can use it next time if i decided to stake in addition to my hodling and mining activities  but to the comparison i think both mining and staking have a simillar difficulties because mining was not also easy as it require some certain requirements  .

I guess both are not much profitable in 2019 since the value of altcoins goes tremendously down but not the mining difficulty so you might spend more money to mine a coin which worth lesser.Staking can be good to get some ROI but staking on any exchange for longer time period also got more risks so investing on a better coin and keeping them in a wallet will be better for 2020.

many exchanges also hold staking events such as in binance and others, I think to do mining will cost a lot and take a lot of time to monitor, I think buying altcoin POS or masternode will be better and starting staking I think it's easier just to rent a VPS rather than having to do mining

Instead of renting all those we need to buy and stake them in the market it will surely help you to make some decent profit in the long run. For buying hardware we need to spend lots of money instead of buying it is good to buy some POS, coin it will surely help you to make a decent return on your staking.

The best staking coin is V-system all the way and there are still others like it out there but it am just into the project very much, forget POW coins because they are only profitable when markets is in happy mood, for POS you keep making your profits in any weather

actually I know 2 good staking ideas.
One of them Verasity (VRA). I think it is promising some profit. And they are about to announce a new major exchange listing. And their staking pool offer something good.
You can get and leave staking with your daily profit. It is great.
Quote
Earn VRA daily at 0.1% of the amount staked in your VeraWallet. This is the equivalent of 36.5% per year.

The other one is Ferrum Network. Ferrum was a micro cap project. Their competitors has a big value and FRM is trying to reach and overtake them. So I think it can reach 5x-10x easily. And they had a staking opportunity recently. Their staking pools were full and closed. But last wednesday, COO Ian Friend made an AMA and he said new pools may open for FRM holders. They had a 3 different size of pool and up to %50 annual revenue.


The key poins it in here, we should find some staking coins which has a potential to rise. The 10% token you earn per year won't make any sense if the price drops by 50%. Therefore, we should try to find the projects that can increase the price soon.

Every PoS project has high chances to be doomed when PoS as consensus will be proven insecure in practice. That's why staking is a slow bomb, think about it. I'm not mining but bet on PoW Amoveo.

Heard legit project from my friend called Vidy Network, it's already listed in many exchanges and one of them is huobi. It has staking system with return around 1% each day. I don't know if it's a ponzi scheme or no but it's legit and we could do it with small capital

Both aren't cheap investments. Staking requires a decent capital for you to receive a promising amount if you prefer the daily equivalent but if you just want to accumulate more coins, this is good for you because it's much cheaper than mining.

While in mining, if you also want to accumulate a coin and you have a way to sustain your bills from other source that would be a good advantage for you. But if you'll depend on it for your daily bills, make sure you mine lucrative coins.

For staking, I think the best would be the hot coins like Tezos.
