What is the best Cryptogcurrancy miner?

[lBlankl]

Should i use a $50 mining hardware or should i use my r7 260x or my intel Pentium g3258 for mining.

At this point, those little usb miners are way better than any video card or CPU. But this cost a few hundred because of demand. If you want to make money you need to travel back in time.

The best miner is the one you don't buy, unless you seriously believe in the imminent collapse of global finance structures that won't also result in the breakdown of the internet. Even the most efficient miners don't make back the costs of electricity.

This leads to the question of "How are miners making money?" with the answer being that the largest chunk of the pool are large operations that are getting electricity at prices low enough to remain profitable.
