I like something, anything to get me started. I mine them and look for new rising coins as long as difficulty is not yet so great. Sometimes I hit a coin that is creeping
up in selling price for btc and start mining it. Sometime, I hope to get AT LEAST a 1Ths miner, unless I get luckier and buy something higher than 1 Ths.
In my experience I am just a bagholder in a couple shitcoins as of the moment, NOTHING to do with mining, but because I tried to invest in t he two. But, mining
altcoins, I have had much better luck, most of the time.
