Title: New to Bitcoin Post by: mgauffin on October 31, 2013, 02:03:00 PM Hello all!
My name is Mikael and i am new to his Bitcoin thing. I am really psyched about the possibilities that a virtual currency can have and im currently having like 30+ tabs open with free faucets and several alarms so i know when to update them! hehe probably a bit of a waste of time but since im trying to study at the same time i cant be mining as my computer makes too much noice :) Im gonna go through this forum as much as i can and find out the answer to my questions since they're answered somewhere else likely (like 100% chance) But i'll post one just so someone might be inclined to post here and say hi back to me :) Im thinking about mining during the night, so ~7h per 24h. is that even gonna make a difference? im at 4MH/s. or will it cost me more in the electricity bill than i make from the mining? Regards /Mikael Title: Re: New to Bitcoin Post by: IceDiceFox on October 31, 2013, 02:11:23 PM Mining will cost you more in electricity than you will make. At this point, if you want to mine, you need very specialized hardware
Title: Re: New to Bitcoin Post by: Jandur on October 31, 2013, 02:52:36 PM Yeah, probably not worth the investment.
Title: Re: New to Bitcoin Post by: mgauffin on November 01, 2013, 04:45:21 PM Ok thank you very much for your replies. I read up on mining on this forum and it seems not even mining with proper equipment is worth it now, or at least tough, so im not gonna attempt it.
So i guess buying bitcoin for real money and 200 satoshi's spamming is the way to go. Title: Re: New to Bitcoin Post by: hashcashcow on November 01, 2013, 08:03:00 PM well at the current rate of $200+ per bitcoin i dont think electric costs make that much of a diff lol
