I've never mined before but i am looking into it. Is it possible to make a profit mining cryptocurrencies with an average computer? I have read a decent amount about mining, and I know its not a get rich quick scheme, but are there any currencies where mining is actually profitable without ASIC or a powerful computer. If so, what currencies would you recommend to start mining?
No mate is not possible. Or to be fairy maybe is possible but is not profitable. You will not earn nothing with your computer if you will want to mine bitcoin. Mining with computer is obsolete because the cpu and the gpu are not capable to mine nothing.
