Post by: lambomoonmoney on November 09, 2017, 07:59:05 PM
I downloaded it right from microsofts app store. Its a free app. So far I've gotten 300 Satoshis, is the energy use/return worth it if Im using the computer anyways?

So you've earned approximately 2 US pennies. How long did it take you to mine those? Were you using wifi or data? It probably would have been faster to find 2 pennies lying around the street.

Mining Bitcoin on ANY computer is a waste of electric - you won't earn enough to cover the cost of electric, and even with FREE electric your computer will die before you earn a significant amount.

The application is a long time for download available in the app store, the launch was in the year 2013, the year which bitcoin mining was decently profitable using the home PC. Today, you can mine at best Monero but not Bitcoin anymore.

Do you know of a good way to Mine Monero? I have actually been looking into this for the past week or so. It seems hard to find a quality way to mine it. Should I link up to a community pool or is there a specific website, app or download I should be using?
