My advice is to not try it.

Mining is very competitive and at current prices you will probably not ROI

You should offer to mow your neighbors lawn. Generally speaking you can make a hundred dollars or so in just one Saturday afternoon.

I am on Vod's side on this one. All he is doing is protecting the community. If you have neg trust then you can use escrow when you do trades.

Has anybody got scammed by this?
I'm pretty sure there are some very new newbies who don't have a good knowledge of bitcoins and good security got scammed by this.
Sadly this is true as there are a lot of people who simply are too trusting
107  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: is it profitable to start mining today?? on: July 19, 2014, 07:29:44 AM
its been last 5 days watching over this bitcoin thing and i have some extra cash so i just wanted a suggestion that if i start mining today by buying the hardware would i be in much profit or its just a decent profit??
and i dont have hell of cash its just my pocket money which i would be investing.
so finally is it profitable for a beginner to start mining today?
and i see the difficulty rate increasing like anything day by day..
if yes plez just suggest some hardware which is ecnomic and will pay back in few months.

Mining is not making profit these days, you won't ROI your hardware because of difficulty.
It depends on how much you pay for your electricity and how much you pay for your hardware and how much you can sell the machine for when you are done using it to mine. If you keep your costs low enough then you will ROI. If you overpay then you will not.
108  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Investing in cloud? Worth it? Which site to pick? on: July 19, 2014, 07:10:37 AM
Im looking to invest in a cloud as well but I'm a bit on the fence, Ive seen a lot of mixed responses, but il go with the first response I get!
my advise : don't invest it in cloud mining
either you won't make ROI, or your contract will gone because the owner of cloud mining contract run
just keep on eye to bitcoin difficulty in next few weeks, it seems skyrocketing again
This +1

You will almost not ROI with cloud mining and cloud mining makes mining more centralized :/
109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: theoretically there are 21 mil btcs, in reality, many bitcoins are lost on: July 19, 2014, 06:54:03 AM
There are some estimates that between 500 000 - 1 000 000 bitcoins can be considered lost.
However, Bitcoin is still in double-digit yearly inflation, adding 3600 new Bitcoins every day to the supply, can't call it deflationary.

It's safe to assume that from now and into the future the number of lost Bitcoins will not increase very much, because in the past people didn't think much of Bitcoins and formatted drives without thinking twice.
So, let's assume 1 mln of Bitcoins will be lost out of 21 mln, that leaves 20 mln. useable max cap.
Advances in technology over time may potentially make it easier to recover some of these lost bitcoin.

As long as you have the physical hard drive that the wallet/private key was/is stored on then you potentially can recover the lost bitcoin. If you have thrown away the hard drive or the hard drive is otherwise destroyed then the bitcoin would likely be lost forever.
