I'm not big into mining myself, but I've been mining Siacoin of late. It's one of the least difficult coins going around with a decent value and great potential. I think they are doing the right thing by targeting a niche - storage.
Currently using the Genoil miner and Siamining pool. Nanopool now has a Siacoin pool as well. An interesting thing about Sia is that Nvidia cards do just as well as AMD, if not better. So if you have an Nvidia card and were reluctant to try out mining - Sia might just be for you.
Anyone else experimenting with Sia mining on Steemit?
