Im interested in mining as well and thanks to all who takes time replying to this post it helps a lot for newbies like me. Looking comments above I gor into conclusion that I should think more due to slow profit in mining.
yeah definitely, I'm really leaning towards figuring litecoin mining. I really like the team behind it and Charles Lee really seems to be honest and invested in it doing well not just pumping it up. My understanding is it would be more efficient to mine than Bitcoin. I'm being realistic as well. I'm not thinking, oh, I'll just plug this in and get rich. I just think it's fascinating how it's done and I greatly appreciate people answering my questions and even breaking down electricity cost. Of all coins I'm more invested in Bitcoin but I wouldn't even consider mining it with it getting harder to mine and me just getting into it. If u guys are saying a gpu gives more options of what coins you can mine I'll probably want to go that route unless u experienced guys think I'm making a poor choice. If I can get started for between 900 and 1500 hundred I'd be satisfied. No reason to go crazy off the rip. I'll probably take some btc profit to get started, again, thanks to all who took the time to answer. I'll spend another couple weeks studying and maybe get started mid to late January
