Mining for bitcoins isn't worth it unless you have an ASIC or power-sipping FPGA. Title: Re: bitcoins Post by: woolybit on January 28, 2013, 08:03:34 AM coool! thats what i thought,cpu is prety slow from what i have heard?
what would it cost to set up a mining set up that ure talking about?and is it profitible? Title: Re: bitcoins Post by: John (John K.) on January 28, 2013, 08:10:50 AM coool! thats what i thought,cpu is prety slow from what i have heard? It's not pretty slow - it's practically not feasible. Mining a month 24/7 using the CPU might net you a couple of pennies, or next to nothing. On the FPGA and ASIC topic, please do a search around and read some stuff up. It's not that profitable like what you might think of. what would it cost to set up a mining set up that ure talking about?and is it profitible?

If asic fail then gpu mine and buy. Title: Re: bitcoins Post by: woolybit on January 28, 2013, 08:15:19 AM cool thankyou for your advice will look around,

Title: Re: bitcoins Post by: sounds on January 28, 2013, 01:16:15 PM You should be able to just buy some bitcoins and watch the BTC to USD rate rise, which means in terms of USD you are making money.
Title: Re: bitcoins Post by: Gabi on January 28, 2013, 01:26:32 PM If you want bitcoins, you buy them. Mining isn't exactly profitable these days. And it makes sense, it if is, then more people would start mining! Especially since mining isn't a get rich quick scheme.
Title: Re: bitcoins Post by: Got BTC on January 29, 2013, 10:32:56 AM I'd say if you have cheap or free power, then mine. It will take awhile for you to get a decent amount of coins, but it will come w/ a profit. Fastest way is to buy from an exchange site or an exchanger.
