Hello all,
I was lately checking the options for minable altcoins and apart from ETH I couldn't see anything else worth mining at the time being. I know that mining is almost dead now, but considering a future altcoins price increase, Ethereum seems the safest bet.
When ETC 2 come, then things may change.
What alternative options would you consider for altcoin mining?
Mining should never get mixed with price speculation. Why would you mine at a loss now hoping for a price increase? Why don't you just buy and hold if that's the only reason? This way the profit would be bigger.
So.. find a coin you can mine at a profit. If you don't find such a coin, better don't mine. If you've found a profitable coin, mine as long as you are on profit (very careful with the electricity price!!) and sell/convert into any coin you want to hold or into fiat if you don't care about holding.
