Title: newbie mining question - if electric wasnt a factor Post by: chugachoochoo on April 04, 2013, 12:43:48 AM Hi
So i am pretty good with tech but havent really gave bitcoin a thought until i came across an article on reddit today. Mining for bitcoins seems very interesting and i think i have a basic understanding of the principals. I basically have access to a few dozen crappier computers (quad cores, 2nd gen i5s a couple with dedicated graphics most without) i also do not pay for electric (as long as i dont push my luck too hard) I was wondering if i can have some advice on what i should do with those pcs. Is it worth it with such low end gear? Can i use mining software while my users arent on the pc and disable it when my users are active? Lets say i was starting fresh and didnt have much money to invest but did have that unlimited(ish) electric, what should i do\buy? Sorry if i am being annoying with all these questions Thanks for your input!!!!!
