Hardware and Software guide for Cryptocurrency Mining

What is cryptocurrency mining?

People who are running software and hardware aimed at confirming transactions to the digital ledger are cryptocurrency miners. Solving cryptographic puzzles (via software) to add transactions to the ledger (the block chain) in the hope of getting coins as a reward is cryptocurrency mining.

How do I start mining Cryptocurrency?
Well its quite simple, you need to have the following things for you to start mining

NOTE:Mining Bitcoin/Ethereum is way to expensive since the difficulty is way more than it used to be few years back, I would suggest other ALT-Coins like Monero,Litecoin,Z-cash etc.


1.Hardware
Which may vary from a normal PC to Mining RIG(Purely depends on what and how you would want to start).We can start mining with normal PC with a simple CPU and if possible GPU(If you want earn something) or if you able to afford to build a Rig , which would simply mean investing from 200$ to maybe 5000$ you can build a rig.But the more you invest the more you have the chances to get back the money you invested sooner.

If in case you are up for building Rig these are my suggestion
