Bitcoin Forum

I signed up 7 months (210 days) ago and have been online on this forum for 44 days.

That is over 20%.

Then take away 8 hours a day for sleeping it is over 31%

Then if you take away 40 hours a week for work that makes it pretty damn close to 50%

I also seem to on average make 15 posts a day.

So, are they right? Am I obsessed?

Yes. But that's ok.

so i guess you replace facebook with this forum  ::)

 ;D  and once you get it on you never stop.  i have to admit that first thing after the os is loading is to hit the forum link

You were one of the first posters that I put an identity to due to your frequency. So yes Goat, I'd say that you COULD be considered obsessed. I think it's in a good way however as I feel that you actually bring to the community. Just my few satoshis... :D

Let's just chalk it off as that you're heavily inspired.  :)

That's the first warning to anyone new to bitcoins, you may become obsessed even if you have never been in a forum before.

There will be a twelve step program someday.  Just know that you are not alone.

41 days here... though I joined up a year ago, so I guess that makes me less obsessed than you.  ;)

The lot of us probably should focus more on other things…

still a newbie despite my post count, cant help but lurk.
I think bitcoin is the best thing since downloadable porn !

Who sleeps 8 hours a day?  I'm sure there is a direct correlation to my decrease in sleep and my increase of time on here.

Well, upon realizing you are here often your first thought was to make a post. So, yes you are Obsessed.  :D

I'm not that obsessive with online time, but before I knew about bitcoin I wanted to build water-cooled rigs with nice ricer PSUs and new components and a good-looking case, and then overvolt the RAM and CPU. I wanted to purchase some 9800GTs to do some folding to "cure cancer". I had my PC on 24/7 folding, etc

Now I only care about price/performance, I don't care if the PSU I buy is a bit twisted with tobacco smoke, I just care about the price. Used parts are the best thing, and I undervolt stuff to get less heat, etc. Forget about anything nVidia until kepler, and I won't even think about using any part of my PC to fold. It makes me sad  :-[

And, when I see a computer, I think how many MH/s can I get from there, at what price, then I try to calculate the power cost, and see if it's profitable. When you talk to me about dollars or any currency IRL, I will explain what Bitcoin is to you.

Im with you mate, my ROI on all my 2nd hand mining rigs is usually 2.5 months :D

ah the good ole days. I wish I would have been here to enjoy them ;P

i was always curious how much a good miner earn in a month?

It depends on a lot of factors.  Right now for anyone paying in the $0.20 or more range for electricity, for instance, is losing money  when mining at current difficulty and market exchange rate with relatively efficient hardware (e.g., 5870s).  So in those instances, it doesn't matter how little you pay for hardware, it currently is not worth it to send electrons through.

Excluding FPGAs, they're still profitable, but have a 9 month or more break even, not counting electric

and how much will earn a good miner in a month? excluding the elec ?

7gh/s gets you around 30btc a week.

30 a week it's not bad

I've noticed you because you "sub" quite often. And I do believe you actually tend to follow up on the threads you sub on, not to gain a +1.

This hasn't worked for a couple weeks. I suggest: ferroh.com/calculator

7d here but I'll have to admit Bitcoin and by extension the forum has obsessed me like no other technology. It just touches on so many areas that it's hard to escape! Try to get out, we'll pull you back in.

Were you always at your computer at that time? Sometimes I keep an open tab with the forum but do other things.

BTW.

Yes you are obsessed  :D
But BTC currency is such an inspiring subject. I just started out yesterday, and I have to be honest, I've never known something to be so techincal when it comes to online currency.
I'm ready to learn anything though :)
