There are so many cryptocurrencies popping up that it is impossible to stay on top of them all. Instead I recommend approaching it like a venture capitalist does when investing in startups.
Here is option for easiest crypto to mine besides ETH and Zcash
Bytecoin- Bytecoin (BCN) is a next generation cryptocurrency launched July 4, 2012. Bytecoin is a fully independent currency which has been developing separately from Bitcoin and its forks. The basis for the creation of Bytecoin was the CryptoNote unique technology.
Mining-used Minergate’s mining software, as it is free to use, enables you combine CPU and GPU mining and also has a “smart mining” feature that automatically picks the best altcoins to mine based on market price.
Amount mined in 24 hours: 2,522 BCN
XMR / Monero- Monero is a secure, private, untraceable currency. It is open-source and freely available to all. With Monero, you are your own bank. Only you control and are responsible for your funds, and your accounts and transactions are kept private from prying eyes.
Mining- used the open source Cryptonote AMD GPU miner for Windows. Please, note that the script is designed to utilize the AES-NI instruction sets.
Important – you might have to manually enable the AES-NI in your BIOS , as some manufacturers disable it by default. Your mining rate will be directly proportional to your CPU’s AES encryption speed.
Amount mined in 24 hours: 0.0128
They are cpu friendly and no asic miner
I would say xmr. Bcn hasnt been doing much
Plus their price has been below 200 satoshi for a long time. There is billions of bcn i am pretty sure.
that is true but in long term it will be valuable.
