Im not looking to replace a job just some money on the side , I was hoping I could with the altcoin exchanges but it doesnt seem like I could make much
it is still possible. whether from mining or from trading.
but for any of them you need a capital and some experience and you definitely can not jump in and start earning money.
you still can mine altcoins with a decent GPU. I am not an expert so I am not gonna get into that very much but you can check this board
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 and also
www.coinwarz.com/ and their calculator to figure out how much profit you can make with your hashrate.
and as for trading there are many topics in the
speculation for bitcoin or the
Trading discussion or the
speculation of altcoins boards you can check out.
also there are a lot of articles about trading available online which you can find and read about the general information about trading.
you can also use the search function of forum to find topics like this:
