This is my first post in here, I hope you liked it. A simple tutorial where I will be showing how you can mine cryptocurrency with your Gaming PC and make money of it.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage or misconfiguration in your setup, this a basic and simple tutorial, if you wanna go through with it, do your own research!
[ENERGY COST]
First of all, we are going to calculate our PC energy comsuption and how much we paid for the KW/h.
1. Access the website above and fill the areas with all your components, some of them are irrelevant if you are going to idle mine (Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse...).
2. Calculate
3. After you get the result, get your most recent energy bill and calculate how much of energy gonna costa if you mine for X hours.
OBS: If you are charged in USD, EUR or any other main fiat currency this may not be very profitable in some situations but if you live in a development country where the dollar exchange rate is high, you can make a good amount just by idle mining.
[WHATS COINS TO MINE?]
When choosing a coin to mine in a Gaming PC there a two main points:
1. Resistent to ASIC miners (Specific hardware for mining)
2. Valorisation in the future (Do a fundamental analysis)
3. Mining difficulty

[CONFIGURATION]
Now that you did your homework, It's time to do the hard work. I may not be able to do a very specific tutorial because this vary from coin to coin but here are the basics:
1. Operating System
Use Linux.
2. Wallet
Do not use "online wallet" from a exchange as you real wallet. Always check the official website for the official or officially suported and make sure to store the wallet itself and related information in a secure place.
3. Mining Software
Same tips as the wallet with an addition of searching for benchmarks on your hardware.
4. Pools
If you don't have a very potent hardware this may be a good option for you, pools are basically a group of people that share their mining power. The downsides are they have some fees and you have to trust a third party.
END!
I hope this was useful to you! Any tips on how I can improve this content are welcome. Sorry for any gramatical errors, modern languages are not made for Zeus.
