When the cryptocurrency first appeared, it could be mined using a video card of a conventional computer. However, developers began to complicate the production of new blocks, which is why users began to look for other mining options. Gradually, large organizations joined the game, equipped huge hangars with specialized equipment, making serious competition to ordinary miners. The latter still found a profitable way to mine a digital coin.
So-called pools were created. In them, the miners combined the power of their computing devices, so that the mining of cryptocurrencies became much more profitable. The received coins were distributed among the participants either equally or depending on the efforts made.
Currently, it is possible to really make money on mining only with the help of pools. Individual miners can only mine new, unpopular coins, the search for which does not require serious financial investments. But there is practically no benefit from them, the cost of such coins on the market is minimal.
Therefore, any beginner or experienced miner should think about finding a reliable and stable working pool.
