There is a few things to consider before taking the plunge. 1) Is your computer up to the task? 2) What are the power costs involved?
Assuming your computer can mine some crypto It would be alt coins and not necessarily bitcoin(of course you can trade it) and if your computer consumes more power than the money it makes (if its not efficient enough) then you would not be getting ahead of the game at all.
I would recommend you visiting the nicehash website and reading up on their application, if you have an Nvidia GPU or AMD you could even download it and benchmark your PC to find out if you can join a pool.
best of luck! ;)
Good question! I'm not sure my computer is up to the task and thanks for all the information! I definitely need to study this a bit more before I know if I'm even capable!
Thanks for the good luck also! :)
