This article lists cryptocurrencies whose mining makes a profit in 2020.

Bitcoin is still the leader in the list of cryptocurrencies, and the current share of dominance is 67.2%, according to CoinMarketCap. On May 12, 2020, the remuneration for the BTC block was halved - from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC. However, coin mining is still extremely competitive.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: SHA-256

Current price: $ 8914

Reward: 6.25 BTC

3. Litecoin

Litecoin is one of the most successful BTC forks. Since it uses the Scrypt protocol, mining is possible even on weak hardware.

Current price: $ 42.33

Reward: 12.5 LTC

4. Ravencoin

Ravencoin is a global cryptocurrency that occupies 52nd position in the CoinMarketCap ranking with a market capitalization of more than $ 119 million. Miners choose this coin because of the X16R algorithm.

Hash Function: X16R

Current price: $ 0.036818

Reward: 5000 RVN

5. Grin

Grin is a relatively new cryptocurrency on this list. Based on the MimbleWimble consensus algorithm, which ensures the confidentiality of transactions on the network.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: MimbleWimble

Current price: $ 2.81

Reward: 60 GRIN

6. Electroneum

Electroneum is an ASIC resistant coin that can be freely mined using the CPU and GPU. In addition, the Electroneum team has developed a mobile application for iOS and Android, which serves as a wallet and also allows mining.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: CryptoNight

Current price: $ 0.005246

Reward: 7,000 ETN

7. Monero

Despite the high transaction fees, XMR users still value it for its exceptional level of anonymity. Monero can be mined using the GPU.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: CryptoNightR

Current price: $ 62.55

Reward: 2.47 XMR

8. ZCash

The current fee for ZCash's cryptocurrency privacy-oriented transactions is small, so some people find it more convenient to trade and sell.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: Equihash

Current price: $ 56.16

Mining reward: 10 ZEC

9. Bitcoin Gold

Bitcoin Gold is a very popular cryptocurrency created specifically for GPU mining. Currently, it is among the 39 world cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of $ 157 million.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: Zhash

Current price: $ 8.95

Mining reward: 12.5 BTG

10. Dogecoin

Created once for the sake of Dogecoin's joke, now it takes 29th place in the world in cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of $ 308 million. Like Litecoin, Dogecoin uses the Scrypt protocol for mining.

Algorithm: PoW

Hash Function: Scrypt

Current price: $ 0.002838 USD

Reward: 10,000 DOGE

Crypto mining is still a lucrative industry. But keep in mind that the more popular cryptocurrency, the more difficult it is to mine.

Monero is great. Our classic favorites are LTC/DOGE, meanwhile checking on Electroneum seems good.

Yeah! Bitcoin needs to make some corrections to make it more profitable in term of mining. Let's wait and see what happens as halving is gone.

Mining is costly and out of reach to many of the simple mortal beings. Luckily there are still some profitable coins out there this year that could worth the trouble, but not many though.

For those who do not have extra money, I would advise you to start with an investment and fix your profits in time for a change in the exchange rate.

I agree! Much easier and less expensive to learn to trade with professionals.

that's correct. also the mining BTC operation itself is very very expensive. and most of the income will be used to pay the electricity bill lol

I advise you to study more information about computer components and have a willingness to invest a few $ 1,000 for serious business! It is better to spend less on a professional, learn and start trading.

Yes it is. I feel that BTC once on uptrend will be a great wealth creator. Next 18 months. I still think better to buy and hold the coins tho.

I do admit, this is really out of date these days. No mentions of which Miner is suitable since half of them need an ASIC, Monero is now on the RandomX algo, and other small mistakes.

Of course, if you have extra money, invest in mining. If you have experience in trading and analytics, make money on the exchange. If there is nothing, then master the investment in the crypto, if there are losses, then without knowledge they will be minimal.

But Monero being a CryptoNight algo? It's now running RandomX, pal.
