There's a lot of people that are keep on asking if mining is profitable. My friendly suggestion to you guys, you should start learn to do your own research before investing into something like mining. Lack of knowledge will pull you down and will make you think that it is not profitable anymore. The difficulty increases, so the hardship and struggle with alt coin mining is increasing too. If you haven't ready to invest big amount of money and you are not good in taking up a risk, good for trading instead.
