Is it worth it to mine?
I'm heavily considering getting babby's first rig to mine BTC or something else with. Am I too late to the game or is it worth doing so?

Yeah nigger, mine Bitcoin.
If you can somehow find 6 Radeon RX 570s, yes it's worth it to join an ethereum mining pool. Good lick finding those graphics cards at a reasonable price though

Use minergate. It automatically mines the coin with the highest return.

That would be what, $1200? How much would the total rig cost do you think?
I've never built a PC before

Just a hair over 2 grand if you build your own open case. The CPU can be super low end too. It'll pay itself back in 2.5 months if the price for ether stays stable. Other altcoins are good too if ether goes to proof of stake instead of the current proof of work.

You're too late for mining Bitcoin efficiently, but there is good opportunity for low-mid range coins.

$1200 would get you two cards, maybe. Newegg just jacked their gtx1070 prices about 20% higher too. The drought's going to get worse.

Radeon RX 570s are $230 though
>>2481124
Yeah, I'm waiting until more RX 570s come out. We'll see if they're even snaggable
>>2481134
The actual market price is ~$180 but they're very marked up now due to the shortage
>>2481135
When do you estimate more will be released? Sometime this year?
>>2481119
Thanks. What other altcoins are POW? Everything I've bought lately has been POS, it seems to be the future of crypto
>>2481150
Radeon has been completely silent about it. I've been refreshing Google news every day for the last week waiting to see something on it, but nothing so far. We get to play the waiting game, and maybe still not get them
>>2481157
Litecoin is POW, but that's the only other one I know about it. What's the cliffsnotes on POSS?
>>2481150
They will be easy to get once Vega comes out.
