Title: Another newbie
Post by: chive on October 07, 2013, 05:54:18 PM
Hi all,

I decided to get into BitCoins.  Being 4 years late to the party is bit disappointing, and the amount of information is overwhelming to grasp in one sitting.
I've managed to mine a whole $1 in 8 days lol  :)

I hope to learn more, and hopefully mine a bit faster.

Regards,
chive

I know that feel, OP.

however, mining is not worth it, you're better off just buying some coins and sit on them.

I took advantage of my access to about 40 PCs at work.  Most of them are running bfgminer.  As far as the users are concerned, it's just automatic updates ;)  Each one generates about 10-20Mh/s.

I bought 18 USB eruptors, 2x rosewill 10 port hubs, 2x usb fans.  I've run into some problems, but I will create a separate thread for it in the proper section of the forum.

his right , i think the days of little mining is over , just look at ebay people will be giving away Block Erupters i got mine cheap although i will never see the roi unless bitcoin goes to about £150 each witch i believe they will,

BitCoin will reach around £1000 per coin by next year so i WILL get my ROI

Don't know about $1000 per btc next year unless we have a economic flare up which is a good possibility. Btc needs to go more mainstream for growth like that. It's happening but slowly.

Nah, that probably won't happen.  Unless like, the US government endorses or something  ;D
BUT I am seeing more online companies accept bitcoin, which is great :)
