Just started and want some info

[BearOnAShark]

So I just started to mine some Bitcoin using NiceHash with my 970 which is just chilling in the corner. It << pays >> ok at about 1.60$CAD a day and I don't pay for electricity.

 

Is Bitcoin or Ethereum the most profitable with a 970? Or what software should I use, since NiceHash take about 3% of my mining.

 

I don't expect to become rich with the mining, I just want to use my sleeping hardware.

Bitcoin you'll want to mine with asic 

 

Eth is what you use a gpu for

NiceHash mines whatever is most profitable and converts it right into BTC but you're mining alt coins and getting BTC payment. You can't directly mine BTC with a GPU these days.

And eth is crashing very hard right now, so there's no point of getting into it. Its current value is only $159.35 (low of $133.07 today).

Well yes, I'd expect him to research all that before hand. At least I wouldnt get into something without knowing all the risks and how the market is before hand.

 

I was just letting him know
