Hi guys,
I like the idea of crypto currency and thought it would be fun to try mining. I have been reading up on the more popular currencies, I.e BTC and litecoin. It seems mining for profit is pointless unless large scale and using specialised hardware, I would like to see at least some cents worth.
I have Mini itx size pc if any random coins still use gpu mining, otherwise I thought perhaps a Raspberry and usb miner like Antminer U3 etc.
Is there any coins that are not too difficult to mine and is not totally volatile? As stated I'm not looking to make profits, just experience budget mining and see something in a wallet and I would like it keep is small and quiet like a raspberry project etc.
Thank you
Mini ITX PCs tend to have worst airflow due to their size. It isn't recommended to do any mining in them since the temperature is quite high. The potential of decreasing the lifespan of your PC is high. Antminer U3 mines on SHA256D cryptocurrencies. There aren't many of them and for most of them, there would be lots of competition already. If you want to try, try out Unobtanium [from
http://coinchoose.com/], they have pretty good profitability and isn't too hard to mine.
