could anybody help please? also, any knowledgeable person who would be willing to help me in private chat with a few bitcoin related problems such as ::
1. how do i buy a bitcoin, ive tried online and it seems very difficult. Id like to convert the 300$ cash sitting in my wallet into 2 bitcoins. plz halp!
2. talk me through what type of mining rig i should build (i know more about computers and computer hardware than bitcoins, im not as dumb as i sound.)
3. how long it will take for my initial investment to pay off, and if i invest slightly more will it payoff faster -- thanks in advance!
