A little off topic regarding the fan pictures, but would a long metal heatsink with the lower part sitting in water work better than a fan? Or would there be water/electrical issues?

Id consult a mathematician if i were you.

I remember hearing about it back when it first hit the world of nerd. I thought about mining but didnt because i couldnt be assed learning about it. Oh the pain, the pain of it all!

How much for a hellfire?

WEll good luck, try not to die.

ahh fucking cuntballs.

System errors, not knowing how to use a PPA even though ive read a dozen manuals, that stupid ubuntu manual is about as useful as  a dead donkey on the moon. FAAAAAAAAAARK!


Now can anyone explain to my dumbass (in clear, concise and complete instructions) how to install cgminer on ubuntu?

The washers have gone and they cant afford a plumber.

Beginning of the end.
You should just end it all now or go and live in the woods as a yeti.

Someone should make another coin to complement Bacion, called Eggs.

My rear end is 1/64th native moonian. Hold on, I'll just bend over and show you.

Can I make my own casino with booze hookers and blackjack?

Please pardon the following.
I'm new to linux, and having decided to give it a go I'm having issue after issue after issue.
Everytime I try to get something (software) or do something that isnt extremely simple it craps out on me.
updates dont work half the time, or get stuck while updating, or it gets a % of an update and the rest screws up.
Its a lot less responsive/slow compared to windows or OSX.

I can also never find a clear answer to problems, most "solutions" either lead to other problems or me having no idea what I'm doing.

CUrrently im trying to get cgminer installed, but I couldnt even get git to install (why the terminal crap, what's wrong with right click, save as). (This is after giving up on bfgminer because every problem someone seemed to have it was either the answer is in the README or don't worry, it fixed itself sometime.

Now seeing as i'm a computer idiot, should I continue to bother with Linux, or give up and go back to windows (dont really want to because its for porn and games).

Or maybe one of you nice patient people could be so kind and tell me how to get this damn OS working and how to install cgminer too.

I have a lot more stupid questions too.
Such as, what's a directory and whats an argument (in terminal)?
How can I get git to install now that its fucked up and says it has no installaatiion candidate?
Whats an installation candidate?


do you need a minimum IQ of 11ty just to use this freaking OS?
Im an idiot /rant

Id generally suggest mining. But with all the hashing power soon to come online in the coming months it makes me wonder if any of the currently available units will ROI.  Plus BTC price generally goes up with difficulty  so  maybe investing is the way to go.
I guess if I had 10k id invest half and buya preorder 2TH from somewhere with the other half and see how it igoes.

Except Jesus and MacGyver.

The difficulty went up 400+ in the past week.   Hope it doesnt go up a lot more or mining wont seem so easy.

Probably because a miner has an approximate set USD price. While BTC doesnt.  By selling them it removes a lot of the speculative risk involved in mining alone.  And others have said it costs a lot of money to create an asic from scratch and selling them again removes a lot of the risk compared to mining yourself.  You know people will buy the asic, you dont know how BTC will move.
