How to mine cryptocurrency?

The mining process is very difficult and might seem impossible at first. But it is important to know that every single block, transaction, and new coin added to the network generates more entropy. The complexity goes up exponentially so that a bitcoin mined today will take longer than a bitcoin mined 2 years ago for example.

Plus with the increased popularity of bitcoin and other altcoins like Ethereum, traders around the world are trying their chance at mining cryptocurrencies without paying for expensive hardware equipment or expensive electricity – in other words, they’re using computers they already have available to them.

The best way to get started is by using a mining calculator. You can find one on [CoinWarz](https://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/calculator/) which will tell you how fast your computer will mine and what the profit gain would be for you over time – if you’re just getting started then we recommend going with a mining speed of 1 GH/S or less since it’s still more than profitable, but slower mining speeds make it cheaper to maintain your computer’s resources.

Remember as you mine, the electricity you will consume is far more expensive than the bitcoin you could earn from mining. Unless you live somewhere with a surplus of renewable energy, it’s usually in your best interest to shut down your mining software when not needed or when electricity rates are cheaper.

Also, remember that running a mining operation will decrease the lifespan of your computer and could even damage parts if done at very high temperatures – so keep an eye on the temperature! Try using the fan on your computer or upgrade to a better cooling system.

Once you have your calculations figured out, it’s time to start mining an alt-coin. There are many different altcoins to choose from, but the most popular is Monero. You can mine almost any alt-coin and then trade them for BTC on a cryptocurrency exchange like [Binance].
