Q&amp;A<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Is Ethereum mining a profitable business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is. In theory, if you buy 500 Nvidia 1070 Ti, you will get $300 a day. In reality, you can get less or more. This is a decent amount of money, so it won\u2019t take long to cover the costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it easy to mine Ethereum? Is it worth it nowadays?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everyone mines Ether, the hash rate is exceptionally high, and so is the difficulty. Besides, the currency is very popular, and users genuinely believe it has potential. Why not consider this project then?<\/p>\n<p>Just remember to put your resources into perspective \u2013&nbsp;mine solo only if you have enough power to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to mine Ethereum on a laptop or smartphone?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If it is a gaming laptop, it may bring around $1 a day. The steps to get started are the same as for a mining rig. Smartphones won\u2019t do for mining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you use the same hardware to mine both Ethereum and Bitcoin?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, you can\u2019t. Bitcoin is mined only by ASIC-miners today. Solving a block on graphics cards is impossible. For Ethereum it\u2019s the other way round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can an Ethereum mining rig mine other coins?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely. Any cryptocurrency available on <a href=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\">2Miners<\/a> will do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I mine Ethereum or Ethereum Classic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is much easier to mine Ethereum Classic \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/how-to-mine-ethereum-classic-etc-mining-and-profitability\/\">read this article<\/a> to find out more. However, it is less profitable. One found block is worth 4 ETC or $34. The same goes for mining pools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to buy hardware for Ethereum mining?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can build your own rig following <a href=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/building-gtx-1070ti-mining-rig\/\">our instructions<\/a>, or you can buy one. The latter option is faster but more costly. If you are willing to try, building your own rig can be a lot of fun \u2013 it\u2019s like a Lego toy for adults.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why does Ethereum mining difficulty increase when the currency rate goes down by 50%?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is because of the trust the community has with Ethereum. Rig owners know for sure that the rate will increase in the future, so they switch their power to Ethereum. They do it to earn more coins through inexperienced miners that stop mining the currency when its rate goes down. But in the end, it goes up.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to read our articles about other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum is the top altcoin.
