Introduction to mining

BASICS OF MINING :

It's a process in which you lend your computer's or graphics card's calculating power to solve complex problems or easy one (depends on the coin) and validating a transaction, then you will be rewarded for it depending on your hashrate  (computational power per second used when mining) .

Hashrate:

Its the rate of solving problems as we discussed above. It's determined by your GPU or ASIC miners. Higher the number, greater the earning, greater the power consumption.

Graphics Cards:

There are mainly two graphic card companies out there; AMD and Nivida. People usually use Nivida graphics card as they are reliable and have a large community.Most commonly used are 3000 series and 1600 series. They offer a decent hashrate and less power consumption than ASIC miners. I personally mined on laptop with a 1650ti graphics card which gave me 1.5$ everyday (power consumption may be 0.25$).

How to mine:

 First of all set up your mining rig. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube u can look out.

I personally used unmineable and 2 miners as pools as they are reliable. Minimum payout       differs from website to website. Usually they don't charge any fees while withdrawal.

* Cross check your wallet address. Even a small mistake and you recieve no coins.

Check with your authorities if mining crypto is legal or not.

Hacks to mine (choosing a coin) :

* Mine a coin with good fundamentals.

* I don't recommend bitcoin as it's not profitable if you have less hashrate.

* Mine a coin which you think will go up in price.

* I mined Shiba inu during May till September. Then price really pumped up. I sold em and bought some coins like Polkadot, MANA, CHR.(not a financial advice).

Outro:

Mining is an easy way to earn crypto if you have the nesssary resources. I couldn't explain more clearly as I'm posting from a mobile for the time. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Have a great day!
