Is it safe to hold bitcoin with MT GOX if I get YUBI key and OTP card plus google authenticator.

I don't know how to do Paper wallet. Also I prefer everything online.

Hey everyone,

So I'm new to the site and somewhat new to mining. I've mined a few LTC but recently switched to FST since my hashing isn't too high and I feel I can make more here. I begin testing it out with one of my GPUs (an MSI 7950 I bought for gaming awhile ago) and have been mining on and off in MiningPool.co FST pool for the past 24hrs.

What I've noticed is that when I start my worker in GUIMiner-Scrypt, it starts earning fairly quickly and my account balance goes up. But over time it tends to slow down pretty hard and the accepted shares only raises slowly. Is this normal? I've read of people gaining so many more coins so quickly I'm confused. Granted, I'm using one card at around 610 kh/s but still think it should be better. Overnight last night I gained very few coins when I thought I was gonna to make double at least what I did since I made more during the day with the gpu mining on and off for a shorter period of time than leaving it on all night to mine constantly. 

Taking a student loan of 1000$ dollars today. Im the gambling type, so decided that investing it to various crypto-currencies would be a better idea than to use it for something like a new phone/computer or even better food than the usual tuna&noodels

What currencies would you buy, as a poor student for 1000$ and why?


PS. Majoring in Finance and Marketing, so this decision is actually is against everything I've learnt in school
