Can you please help me understand how to decipher what coin is more profitable than any other? I hope my question is clear. I read comments where it is discussed that one coin or another is more profitable at a given moment. What is the indicator or information that tells me this? I feel that what I am asking will be obvious once explained so I apologize in advance if I should know this. 1.8 adds use mine coin parameter and unless I know what coin I am going after it is of little use.
I read the FAQ and my eyes glossed over about halfway through. you have done an outstanding job in the past explaining in detail all of my questions. Thank you.
Probably best to just pick a pool that autoexchanges to BTC (Blazepool is my suggestion) and let that run for a while until you get the hang of this, vs. worrying about mining individual coins per the 1.8 update. All it does is allow you to mine individual coins (e.g. RVN) on autoexchange pools like Zergpool...but you can already do this on other pools (e.g. Pickaxe, BSOD), so that functionality was already there. More trouble than it is typically worth as you then have to set up a wallet to mine that individual coin to, then transfer it to an exchange to sell it, etc. If you're just learning, just do an autoswitch pool and let it run.
