No sense in buying now, like I said I need to wait till after tax season

Re read the main post, I am a gamer, I can't game with an ASIC can I?
Also I don't have that much money extra to blow to afford an ASIC and a gpu.

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good GPU for BTC mining for the cost of around $200 - $300.
I am a gamer, but I figure when I am not gaming I could do some mining.
I am a laptop user, but I am planning to build a PC this tax season to save some money for upgrades later on.
The current setup I am looking to build uses a GTX 7770, but I heard Nvidia's were not too great when it comes to btc mining. (ltc mining is a different story though apparently, but btc pays off more)

Anyway's, any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Go with LTC. If you want to do more than 1 coin, then use LTC as main, and do FTC on the side.

If it was a fake name, then he couldn't even have his paypal up and running. As you should know, paypal is requiring proof of SSN, Poof of ID, and proof of address. And this is not just for old accounts either. Also, paypal can tell if the email was just created, or what it has been used for. They can also scan names to tell if the name is fake or not. Paypal is very thorough.

Personally, I think it could use some sort of material form. Like an actual bit stamp or certificate like they used to do with silver (Silver certificate aka silver dollar).

That's a hell of a meme.

Then there is something else I am not understanding. According to the PPLNS stats on my pool, My last shift is 0 blocks, 527 shares, with a 0.00000000 per-share rate and a 0.00000000 reward. Each time a new shift is started, the number of blocks increases, and the per share rate increases as well. In about 1 hour, the same shift will result in about 1 - 2 blocks, and a per share rate of 0.00000002. In about 6 hours time, it will be about 5 - 6 blocks, with a per-share rate of 0.00000004 to 0.00000005. So how and why does this increase when I am on a different shift? Also, how will I know if I have found a block?

If you look closely, in 4 minutes it says it detected 4 new blocks. Is this not the same as finding a block?

So, on all the calculators I have been on, I get the same result. For my average hash rate, and my pools difficulty, finding a block in 2 weeks is less than a 2% chance.

An example:
https://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=20&difficulty=396.553

So if this is correct, how is it I am finding blocks like nothing?


Does this make sense to anyone?

From what I have seen, gathered, and know, it wont fall below the $100 mark.

Lol, in just 6 hours huh? So far it has been 2. BTC fell to $102, then bounced back to $112, now its at $110 as of me writing this. The guy scammed you to make some quick btc and cash.

Technically, no. Like phones, computers have firmware. Anything you ever do, download, or see on your computer is embeded in your firmware. However, reformating can remove the virus from your computer rendering it useless, but that doesn't mean it is off of your computer for good.

You should record video. Also, regaurding the comment about bfl being a manufacturer, they are more than just that. They have a marketing department, a manufacturing department, and about 2 - 3 others. They are in fact a business, so as the OP said, they must have "open hours" where people may stop by.

That doesn't include the BTC that he supposedly paid for the hardware. Hence why I said he stole more than that.

In otherwords, you think the guy spent hundreds of dollars for hacking software to gain a couple btc? I doubt anyone would want to go through that much trouble, or even gain federal offences on their names over something that does not truely exist.

He stole more than that....

Do you honestly think that the hardware he bought was a measly 1 btc?

This. More than likely the btc stealing software. Face2Face is not always a good decision. Never allow someone to install something, or put something into your computer. I would have had him write down his address, not bring a flash drive. Your bitcoins can possibly be returned if you backed up your wallet with an encryption. He shouldn't be able to do anything with them as long as you did that. Also why do you post this in the noob section? Shouldn't this go in the support section?

I don't need the timer, I just use sound color coordination. The process is similar to photographic memory, but not as accurate. It allows me to gain a high score, but only after a certain amount of tries. If I were to go at it again, I could probably score higher. I consider writing it down cheating, and I am guessing the creator of the flash game does too, hence why there is a timer.

I tried simon says, played free so I cant submit my score or compete for the prize, but I scored 16, just 2 under the current high score.
