If you want to get into cryptocurrency mining, you’ll no doubt have started doing your research, sat back and then remained totally perplexed by the jargon and the notion of actually mining cryptocurrency. Whilst it may not seem like a financially viable plan, often, cryptocurrency mining can result in nice returns, although, as you probably know, the activity of mining is time consuming, energy consuming and of course, hard to grasp.

Today, Techradar have published an article which highlights their top mining pools for 2018. We believe this is something quite important (hence the article), as, if you’re a newbie and want to actually get into the mining community, Techradar have located some important factors for you to consider. Before we continue, just to clear up the confusion, a mining pool allows you to team up with other miners to speed up the process and share energy costs, this means whilst the mining may offer slightly smaller returns, you’ll mine faster and the process will be much more efficient. You can go it alone but of course, if you’re new to it, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Slush Pool, AntPool, BTC.com, KanoPool and F2Pool are all amongst Techradar's recommendations, thankfully though, in order to streamline the reviewing process for you, Techradar have ranked each listed pool with a number of positive points and negative points.
