Hi everyone,

I was hoping to mine Bitcoin, but with the reward halving and the difficulty increasing, I am not sure it is worth it.

Could anyone recommend a second best digital currency to mine? Would an Antminer S7 work for it? If not, could you recommend what hard ware is best?

Thanks

Decred and Vanillacoin are altcoins that are profitable to mine currently (depending on your electricity and hardware costs obv.).

Decred: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1290358.0 | https://forum.decred.org

Decred can be mined with GPUs and CPUs, I'm only mining with GPUs currently. Tools can be found on the ANN and help on the forum.

Vanillacoin: http://vanillacoin.net | https://talk.vanillacoin.net

Vanillacoin can be mined with GPUs CPUs and FPGAs, but only GPU and FPGA mining is profitable. Tools can be found on the forum in the Tools, Tutorials & Projects section.

Both coins are being actively developed, are feature rich and are traded on more exchanges.
