I've never mined before but i am looking into it. Is it possible to make a profit mining cryptocurrencies with an average computer? I have read a decent amount about mining, and I know its not a get rich quick scheme, but are there any currencies where mining is actually profitable without ASIC or a powerful computer. If so, what currencies would you recommend to start mining?
The idea of mining coins attracts everyone. But agree that the price of coins will be very low if everyone will be able to easily extract them. Forget this idea or buy expensive equipment designed for cryptocurrency mining. You can choose between mining with ASIC or GPU. But to get the coins on the old computer is not possible.
