hey guys im a bit new to this im wondering wich crypto is the best to start with if i wanna mine... my graphic card is a Nvidia gforce Gtx970
Hello and welcome.
None if you only have one GPU, especially if it's an old one such as the 970. I don't recommend mining until you have well over 100k invested into crypto. And even then, mining is only worth a though if you pay 3-5 cents per KWH. Otherwise don't bother, since you won't be able to compete with the industrial scale mining farms (they drive the price down to the break even point).
thanks. i guess i should focus on the other thing my roomate told me about, the one where you just leave ur wallet always open and at some point i get a pay out im still reading on the subject but thanks for your honestly guys
That's called "Proof of Stake" (PoS) "mining". With that you get an amount that depends on how many coins you have in your wallet. So the more coins you have, the larger your reward will be. Of course that also means that if you have few coins you won't be making a lot.
If you speak multiple languages you could also look into translation bounties for earning some extra coins if that's your thing though. But the most profitable way of increasing your wealth is through investing, so I recommend reading up a lot. If you're strong at Mathematics this will be very easy for you, otherwise you'll have to study a bit harder, but in the end it'll be worth it. I would only go this way if it's interesting to you though, there's nothing worse than doing something you hate just because it makes money.
