I was mining myself, its basically losing money, cant compete. Even the newer coins dont work anymore - everyone switched either to mining pools, or factory-sized rigs.

Gomining is a good alternative. You invest in their mining, and get a portion of the income. The returns arent huge, about $30 a day forme, but very consistant, since they own enough miners to earn many BTC every day.

Other way to earn is invest in their tokens. Now, obvilusly this might change, but so far this year im up 180% on those. Judging from their roadmap should be good moving on, many updates still coming.
