I am a newbie to mining. I want to know which Altcoin mining is still profitable if I am considering buying my own hardware. I am looking at Monero, Neo etc. I am planning to source the miner from China. Any recommended vendor would also be appreciated.
P.S: I am planning to mine as a hobby and not set up a farm.
There is no enough information in your post. Would you like to mine ASIC coins (Scrypt, x11, SHA256 and so on) or GPU based algos, or maybe you interest in CPU-only coins?
Sorry for being Vague, but as I said, I am a complete rookie.
I have no preference, as long as its profitable. Actually I would really appreciate if you can provide inputs for both CPU based coins as well as those with GPU based algos as well.
