I have been searching the net and could not find any useful information on which scrypt miner to choose. Would like to hear from members which one is better for starting? What are the differences in scrypt, scrypt-n x11, x13 and so on?

p.s. sorry for stupid questions i'm just starting...

Are you planning to start mining with your PC ?  If the answer is yes, then don't, it's not profitable and pretty much a waste of time.

scrypt, scrypt-n x11, x13 .. (there are about 20) are mining algorithms while every one is different and suits a different coin, each has a different "miner" and uses different setups.

If you are serious on start mining should either get a hardware mining (ASIC) scrypt(buy it second hand since it's much cheaper) or SHA256(for bitcoin) or a cloud mining contract for bitcoin mining.

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask  Wink
