Form submitted. Waiting for more information about the project.

Same problem. I just use Google.

Mining bitcoin with CPU became completely meaningless years ago, even using pools. I started mining in the first half of 2011 and even then solo mining with CPU was nearly impossible and mining pools became widespread. Now even GPU mining does not make sense.

Most of the people in the city where I live never heard about bitcoins. I'm a software developer and have heard a conversation about bitcoins among my colleagues, but almost anyone outside the IT is completely ignorant about it.

Watching closely and waiting for the airdrop details 

I buy some small amounts at the dips.

Because I tend to look at the big picture. When I first heard about bitcoin, it was about $1. Now it is around $4000, a rise for more than three orders of magnitude in six years. Most of my coins were acquired by mining, almost for free. A dip, say, from $4500 to $4000 is almost nothing for me, because I have all reasons to expect bitcoin rising to a new maximum after.

I've heard about two guys who recently left their jobs to organize a mining farm from Ethereum. Personally, I'm not going to quit my job as a software engineer unless bitcoin rises to much higher levels allowing me to live independently using my savings. I would not rely on mining and/or trading.

Exactly. I hope one day I'll be in such a team, translating my own works and maybe works of some of my friends.

Panspermia hypothesis? It seems to be unlikely now, because most recent findings show that life on Earth appeared quite early and we obviously share the common ancestor with all forms of life on Earth. On the other hand, a noticeable impact of humans on the environment is very recent.

That's good. I did a lot of translations of technical texts (manuals and so on) from English and I also tried to translate some SF. As for translating to English, my proficiency with the language is probably not enough for translating fiction, but I am definitely interested in seeing some of my creations in English.

I do not believe in aliens, I always rely on science. There is an almost 100% chance of extraterrestrial life somewhere in our galaxy, let alone in the whole universe. Intelligent life, unlike simple life forms, may be rare.

Yes, but a small amount, just to get a taste of it.

An interesting project. I am an author myself, but it is just a hobby, I do not even try to publish, I put it on the Internet. However, my native language (in which I write) it not English. I have some plans for translating a few of my short stories in the future, but nothing specific yet. Do you have any interest and/or plans for non-English authors and readers?

When bitcoin price crashed from $31 to $2 six year ago, a lot of people thought it is probably dead. I've been one of them, but fortunately I did not sell (I mined, not bought the coins, and then the sum was tiny anyway). Then I've seen the price climb to $100 in 2013, and now it is $3800. Does not look like dying to me...

Crash? Looks like an inevitable and more or less expected correction after such rise. Month ago there was another 'crash' when the price of bitcoin was half the current levels. There are no significant negative events, so I expect bitcoin to continue the upward trend.

In my opinion, faucets are waste of time. I have a regular job and there are much better things to do with my spare time.

Initially, six or five years ago, it was mostly fun, because the value of bitcoins I have was quite small. Now it became an investment.

Once upon a time I stumbled upon an article at an IT web site, "Bitcoin online currency reached parity with dollar". "That's curious", I thought. It was February 2011...

Yes, I do. For me it's primarily an investment.
