Hello,

I have some questions regarding bitcoin mining. I have done some research bt i still have a few qs.

 

1.  Do I need to learn any type of coding or anything to mine bitcoins?
 

2.  What software to use to mine bitcoins and whats the difference between them?

 

3.  Do i need any special hardware or a normal medium budget gaming pc will also be able to mine bitcoins?

 

5. Is the amount of bitcoins mined dependant on computer?

 

6.  If it is dependant .. approx how many bitcoins a month can be mined on i5 quad core machine with a GTX 1070?

 

please give any other relevant info u may have.

Thanks

The best place to get information about coin mining is in the digital currency mining forum: https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/37-foldinghome-boinc-and-coin-mining/

 

You can view the profitability of mining particular digital currencies here: https://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

 

Bitcoin mining with GPU hasn't been profitable for years, so you'll want to think about mining something else. Ethereum is popular. The setup you'll need to mine a digital currency depends upon which coin you want to mine. You should look into information about mining a specific coin, once you know which coin you plan to mine.

You own the software that you purchase - Understanding software licenses and EULAs
