Hello people. I want to mine, but I am not very knowledgeable about all this stuff. I'm just about to get my CompTIA A+ Certification, so that's about my level of technological literacy. I only have about $400 to spend on mining, and I just want to mine crypto to learn stuff, preferably not losing too much money. But it is so confusing! There's Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Capacity and SHA-256 and CryptoNight and BOINC and Scrypt and whatever else, but those don't have a reasonable guarantee of reaching ROI, let alone generating profit. In fact, I might get a better ROI investing in stocks than mining, but I don't really care so long as I learn something without losing money. I would rather mine something novel and less mainstream, but those kinds of tokens usually have few resources on how to mine.

*HELP*—how can I go from absolute noob to lvl. 1,000,000 pro cryptominer?
