I dropped the idea of mining since the ROI period doesn't seems palatable to me. But I like the idea of selling the rig away after 3 months to recoup losses. But who would buy?
Mining hardware are isn't that good when it come of mining bitcoin we really want to mine but its not profitable at all we our trying our best but we can't we luck off money and we canct just back our ROI at the time selling is much more profitable keep it up bud you will be reich someday.

Today one of my friend hit me with his question that he want to start bitcoin mining but i am a noob too in mining thing so i though it is the right time to ask you guys about it
his pc has

2gb ram
Intel 2.8 Ghz processor
500 gb HDD
Internet - coming soon 500kbps download speed
 
and his mobile has(for web mining) :

2gb Ram
Intel 1.6 Ghz
Internet - download speed 4-5 mbps

he asked me 1.what pool should he use? 2.what software he should use and some additional information about this. precautions and guides are welcome too

Not worth mining. Perhaps could mine Altcoins and sell it on exchanges such as Yobit for some Bitcoins. But if electricity prices are high, then it is totally not worth it.

It is better to mine the altcoin. It is more profitable than mining the bitcoin directly. The ROI is quite fast.

Can you add more details please? Like specs and what kind of altcoins are best?

Mining with that specs of pc will be no longer for bitcoin mining , i strongly suggesting that don't try to mine anymore because it is not profitable with that kind of specs to mine bitcoin therefor you can't get back your ROI there thus just enjoy the speed and the specs of your gadgets chuchu.

With that kind  of spec of a pc then for sure  it would   not even reach roi for   6 months.lol. CPU and GPU mining  is  not possible  as of  todays when you intend to  mine bitcoin because  in order to mine bitcoin  you  should need Asic which are  commonly used now  to  mine bitcoin but still it would  not assured you to be profitable since  bitcoins difficulty is raised.

I will advice you to learn how to trade bitcoin with other currency. Bitcoin mining are for those that has large capital 

Bitcoin mining is not for the newbie. It is better to mine the altcoins with the graphics cards. They are much cheaper.

It would be good idea , if you reached the half of your ROI and selling your Rig , you can pass your ROI instantly.
I think anyone wants to buy your RIG , but make sure you use an escrow and explain the details about your rig if you want to sell it online .

Perhaps reach ROI for 50 percent and sell, will not gain profits. Maybe reach ROI of 60% then sell off the rig will make more sense, I think.

But if it is still profitable to mine, why sell the rigs. You can still make some profit if the rig does not devalue a lot.

I'm looking for free spin.
September 17, 2016, 01:27:03 PM
yeah i have no costs, just got a psu for free from a friend aswell, so if its costing me nothing how is it unprofitable?? or am i missing some elitist with many petahash trying just to mine to hoard i dont understand why people are putting people off and if your in a pool as many hashes the better since you have more chance of solving stings but hey

It depends on the electricity price. If you do not pay for the electricity, then it is very profitable to mine.
Illegal your electricity with mining farm its risky to do because anytime they can trace you if they know that you are eating a large electricity in your house. or if you have solar it is better to have free electricity. it can be profitable without no risk.

GPU mining is still very profitable I am still upgrading my GPU farm, last month I switched to Nvidia to save on electricity , NW is like 50-60% less power hungry them new AMD rx 4xx which use power as match as old 28nm

If you go Nvidia I would suggest GTX 1060 or GTX 1070, per day 1070 can make ~3-3.5$ and power usage per card is 130-140w (1070)

If bitcoin developers wanted us to still mine bitcoin using GPU or CPU they would kept option to mine BTC in Bitcoin Core client.
But they removed it in recent version. And for me it is a sign that individual mining of BTC is dead. Focus on altcoins if you have to mine.

Individual mining is still possible but not  on a regular high specced PC. Mining bitcoin would require ASIC which could definitely mine bitcoin but same as other said its not profitable anymore unless if you have free electricity and you have decent amount of money to invest on a mining farm which could make  you profitable but in CPU and GPU i think its impossible already but  on mining altcoin then its possible as of now.
