Title: New to bitcoin ... please help me
Post by: jims on July 16, 2013, 02:02:11 PM
Hello guys,
Im new to bitcoins and coin mining...
I've read alot about it and would love to setup a little "hobby-project"...
Im looking to buy a USB Block Erupter ... i know one isn't enough to make me some real earnings, but i just want to play with it and see some (minimal) coins come in :)

The thing is that the place i want to buy from only takes BTC as payment, and i dont have any BTC :/
To buy BTC seems complicated for me.

Therefore i now asking for a donation, i dont like to beg, seems rude, but please. I would love to begin configuring my currently webserver to a "mini-miner" :)

My wallet is:  15NMRHQxgSodCB5vGL5NKhbj3vNa2VSZAX if any kind soul want to help me!
Thank you!

Good luck with getting donations, most people see this and immediately yell scam.  Plus with difficulty, people are hording coins.

Have you tried buying coins on an exchange and then using those coins go buy your erupters?

Use coinfaucets.tk :)

Will make more than mining without the hassle of buying the stupid stick.

Or buy a Radeon HD 5970.

Gives as much MH/s as the stick, but can be used for gaming when you are tired of mining depressively small BTC amounts with it.

Can you recommend a exchanger?
Thanks for the reply!

EDIT.. adding:

You can buy BTC for a Green Dot Moneypak that you buty from Walmart.  Plenty of sellers in the Currency Exchange, but use escrow

I would use either btc-e.com or coinbase.com, I currently use coinbase.  You can have them draft money directly out of your bank account, then use that cash to buy coins.
