Mining became so much easier to profit from once i learned how to deal with the learning curve that came with it. Below is a small guide which will allow YOU the end user to ensure that you are mining the best coin at that time with your CPU or GPU.
WhatToMine
This website is a useful tool which will allow you to enter the total number of graphic cards you are mining with in order to see how much you will be making in total and you also can enter the electricity price per unit for your country so that the correct price of electricity used per day is shown. This means that the website will calculate the cost of electricity per day and your profits per day an example can be seen below
When the appropriate details are entered you click on the calculate button so that it will display the most profitable coin to mine currently. An example can be seen below
MinerGate
This software is free and it is very user friendly it currently works under Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. The main coin which will be mined is Monero (XMR) but if another coin is profitable it will switch to it automatically the coins that can be mined are the following
- Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
- Zcash (ZEC)
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Monero (XMR)
- Ethereum Classic (ETC)
- Bytecoin (BCN)
- Ethereum (ETH)
I personally do not recommend using this software since there is much better software but if you want to experiment with mining this is the one to choose
This miner is free BUT it is available for Windows only. This mining software will automatically start mining the most profitable coin for your GPU/CPU and pay you in bitcoin. This miner is currently used by many since it avoids the hassle of finding specific mining tools for different coins.
CoinWarz
This website is similar to whattomine but it offers a much more vast range of coins. It is also a bit harder to use since you need to know your hashing power. It will also display the profits and electricity cost which you will be making daily
Crypto-Coinz
This website will allow the user to enter the cards he or she is going to mine with and tell them the best coin to mine currently. An example can be seen below
