CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME START HERE WITH THE BASICS. I HAVE MULTIPLE CPUs Title: Re: new to bitcoin Post by: BurtW on November 29, 2012, 05:09:29 PM The best way to get Bitcoins at this point is to either a) buy them using your favorite fiat currency or b) sell a product or create a service and accept payments in Bitcoins.
Mining for Bitcions with a CPU or even thousands of CPUs is a total waste of time and energy. Mining for Bitcoins with a GPU or even dozens of GPUs will soon be a total waste of time and energy. Bitcoins will soon be mined using custom ASICs created specifically for that purpose but getting on the waiting list to get one of the ASIC units at this point is also probably a total waste of time and money. Let me know if you have any more specific questions.

It already is after yesterday. People are jumping on Litecoin like ethiopian children on a loaf of bread.

It already is after yesterday. People are jumping on Litecoin like ethopian children on a loaf of bread. What is Bitcoin? An new (four year old) peer-to-peer form of "money" that is outside of most goverment control and all central banking system control. We just passed the point where one half of all the Bitcoins that will ever be created/mined have been mined. The other half will be created/mined over the next few decades.

Thanks for the info. I was just about to sell everything and move to Alaska to mine bitcoins. So glad I read this first. cheers the ex-wannabe bitcoin miner Title: Re: new to bitcoin Post by: Gabi on November 29, 2012, 07:10:29 PM Bitcoin is NOT a get rich quick scheme.
