Cryptocurrency mining is usually not ventured by starters or newbies because of the requirements related to do it effectively and gainfully. Actually, even seasoned members still don't venture in mining that much because of the realities that it's not easy to do, especially now, when the saturation of coins in the market has been a lot that it's hard to mine for coins compared to before. Also, bounties are way easier to do compared to mining, so that's why, more people tend to take that path.
