Sure, mining is important (it is what keep bitcoin safe) but if you want to have and spend bitcoins, the best way is to buy them, like you are doing with dwolla and everything.
Of course if you get a mining rig you will make a decent amount of bitcoins

Hi
First, mining is not really a good way to make a profit out of bitcoin. Sure, you gain something and if price increase that will be worth even more, but still, bitcoin is NOT a get rich quick scheme.
Also you have a Nvidia, and well nvidia sucks at mining. A same priced ATI would make like 400mhash/s
About temperature, 87° is a bit too high, if you are at default clocks and your temperature are too high then either you have to clean the card from dust or they sold you a fail card. But, it's not bitcoin fault, you will reach the same temperature with anything that use the gpu (so, gaming, and other CUDA or GPGPU things)
As for buying bitcoins via dwolla etc...well yes it's slow but well it work. Just be patient!
Bitcoin isn't so hard to get involved in, 6 hours to start mining? Here i just downloaded guiminer, joined a pool and started mining

Maybe they just don't want governments able to print as much money they want to keep bailing out banks
|
|

In b4 bitcoin outlawed because "it would create skynet and allow it to kill the humanity"
And everyone who use bitcoin jailed for "terrorism"
|
|
|
|
|
They are just normal people that found themselves jobless and are tired of the government wasting billions of THEIR taxes in bailing out banks
Of course they aren't the most clever people around, they are just NORMAL people.

We don't. Fun fact, a lot of the first 1.000.000 BTC created have a good chance to be lost, since back then they were almost worthless and lot of people just mined some and then uninstalled the software

Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. Sure, bitcoin mining can be profitable but only with the right hardware and of course depending on their price.
Nvidia sucks at bitcoin mining. For the same price of your card you can buy an ATI that will mine MUCH MUCH more.
As for CPU mining well, a gpu simply mine bitcoins much faster than a cpu.
But, if you want to use your CPU, you can CPU mine Litecoins and sell them for Bitcoin.
I am unfamiliar with litecoins... could you possibly provide a link or two for one to get started on mining litecoins? I have a i7 quad core computer but a not so good Nvidia card so this would be perfect for me. Even a good nvidia card would not be good as a ati card in bitcoin mining. As for selling litecoins https://vircurex.com/Please note that litecoins aren't bitcoin and well selling them for bitcoin is a good idea if you have a good cpu but i can't guarantee for the price  |

suggestion: satoshi is skynet, and it created bitcoin, because of its need to expand.
My suggestion: we will create that software that will roam the internet and grow and grow thanks to bitcoin and become skynet, then it will go back in the time and it will be satoshi and will invent bitcoin. So he can develop. Yes, i'm saying that bitcoin was created by a thing that WILL exist thanks to bitcoin. |

It's not your fault, the 0.5 client interface epic sucks. Before it showed how many blocks you had, now it tell you the remaining %... confuse new people:
1)cause they don't know why at each restart the % change
2)tooltip at mouse hovering without even the littlest explanation about what blocks are is more like "maybe if you are lucky and you place the mouse cursor here"...

The expense is for the masks used to make the chips. They cost millions and if you want to make a ASIC you need them
|
|
|
|
|
I think someone is manipulating the manipulator
|
|
|
|
|
Of course an ASIC is much faster than a FPGA, but to produce them you need to invest some millions of $$ for masks/whatelse (after the investment their price is low of course)

Lol @ ip ban.

I want to create micro-transactions and am wondering if any of the current crypto currencies have no transaction fees? And if not, is it possible to create a miner that can allow zero-fee transactions?
Oh you just need a client that always make transactions with 0 fee. You should just modify the standard one or find one already modified. As far as i know every miner just put every transactions in blocks even if they are 0 fee transactions, so no need for a special miner (with "miner" you are speaking about mining and not the bitcoin client right?) |

mh... when i install a OS i expect to install only it and maybe some software to see photo/video, listen to audio and browse internet, nothing more...
But why should audio/video software be distinguished from payment software? I don't see the fundamental difference... if Bitcoin, one day, were sufficiently useful (broad enough user base) that one could use it as a replacement for Paypal, I would support bundling it into Linux distros. Because being able to open and use files is a more basic need with an os |

Brace for epic, with some community support that can be something epic
