Don't just buy bitcoins. I got kicked out way due to competition. Either use hash flare or genesis to mine or set up a cpu mining station instead.

For litecoin asic machine you can merge mien dogecoin
What do you think about mining Z cash? I have been considering building a GPU mining rig when I get paid. I'd probably start small with a barebones build with 2 GPUs and expand every time I get paid
Mining eth is still more profitable vs zcash. https://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

Thanks you are a legend. I can see mining taking over all of my free time. I am a huge computer nerd and love when i can make my hobbies profitable.
Is there a way to calculate mining profitability if you rent? Like how much would you mine vs how much you pay per day.
