Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: Open4lies on September 16, 2013, 10:53:05 AM What is the incentive for Newbies to start Mining? Curiosity and fun! Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: Dwayne7 on September 16, 2013, 10:59:11 AM I mine for fun and keeping the network secure.

Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: ajw7989 on September 16, 2013, 12:48:32 PM i originally started mining for fun and as a hobby. I always look for new things to get involved with and this seemed interesting. Making money on top of it is great even if its not at a ROI
Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: artiface on September 16, 2013, 12:59:47 PM Fun and nerd factor which are basically the same thing for me. Also even a small amount of profit for said fun is nice.

Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: panck4beer on September 16, 2013, 01:03:34 PM I started GPU mining to find out how it works. But I stopped after few days, because it was not fun anymore and not much mined anyways ;)
Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: iHashFury on September 17, 2013, 01:40:22 PM So
After a day - the scores: Profit - 5 (20.8%) Fun - 6 (25%) Nerd factor - 6 (25%) Waste electric - 1 (4.2%) Keep the Bitcoin network secure - 5 (20.8%) Boredom - 1 (4.2%) Will be interesting too see how opinions change over time. Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: dnelsonfl on September 23, 2013, 08:04:01 PM Cmon definitely for the nerd factor. :P
Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: iHashFury on September 24, 2013, 12:48:22 PM Fun, Profit and Nerd factor are doing well - Its neck and neck!
Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: grfbtc on September 24, 2013, 01:20:16 PM I think I also signed up for this forum for the nerd factor \o/
Title: Re: Mining Newbies Post by: aquariuz23 on September 24, 2013, 02:03:42 PM Like most others here, I too join mining primarily due to the profit factor, though I worry it won't end up being a profit :D But it sure is interesting and fun especially since I have the hardware to somewhat support it, plus its definitely a nerd bragging factor lol.
