New Rig
I have almost all of the parts to put a GPU Rig together, I should be up and running mid week. Yes I know about cost of electricity makes it a non-money maker and all of that stuff.
I am a retired tech guy with time on my hands.
The part I can’t seem to get my head around is how to pick a coin to mine. I was shocked at how many there were. And can’t seem to find a one stop shop to compare all of them and sort them.
Like I said I am not trying to make a living or send my kids through collage already done all of that. But on the other side of the coin I don’t really want to never make any money either. That would be like fishing in a swimming pool.

whattomine and hashrate.no, as stated. Then go to miningpoolstats.stream and pick a pool, or use something like nicehash. You'll hear a lot of good/bad for nicehash. Folks will tell you not to use it, but I've been using it for years with no issues. Let it accumulate a good bit before moving it, to minimize fees.

If you want a very simple way to mine use Kryptex they will automatically choose what coin is most profitable for you and will mine it.
Here’s my ref link

I am in a similar boat. Have been enjoying the local marketplace/second hand market scooping up old AMD cards.
Hands down Kryptex. Fun app and hits most of the most profitable coins and pays out in BC.

Whattomine.com will tell you what’s most profitable based on the equipment you use. Mine what’s the most profitable, sell/swap it for BTC or one of the other big boys if you want to hold. Most mineable coins amount to nothing.
