Crisis is a great show.  Its on episode 9 next week I think, once you watch the first episode, you will want to watch them all right in a row to catch up.

WDF guys... the real price is like <$3.5 USD

I will charge whatever the actual price is, plus .25 cents. 

I didnt take the time to check, I guessed it was about 7.50.

2 Antminer U2's will never mine 1 btc in 7 months.  More like 400 months.

If you start now, you will never get 0.02 BTC with 4 GH/s (2 * U2).
But, Chrithu could have been hashing for months already since the difficulty was much lower.

You can use a profit calculator to check your expected mining revenue and profits.

The antminer sticks will never make 1 btc, even if he got them when they first came out. FACT

1) Yes. Many people without ASICs or USBs do this. Make sure to use your GPU (Graphic processing unit) as your miner as opposed to your CPU, since GPU is faster.
2) Maybe. Computer will probably melt though. I wouldn't count on good mining rates while gaming, unless you use a USB or ASIC miner.
3) Based on hardware... I'd estimate at least a month. For full BTC you REALLY need efficient or fast ASICs. I recommend you mine other crypto currencies, since they are easier to mine for and more profitable.

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for, and my mining time estimate may be off by a week. Or month. Expect it to take a LONG time.

I'd like to add something to point 3:

With a 7950 if I recall correctly the best hashrate you can get would be around the 700 to 800 MH/s mark.

So if he does not mine constantly, because mining while gaming is DEFINETLY NOT advisable when GPU mining about a year probably a lot more is a much better estimate on mining a full BTC. Not to mention that the GPU's power cost will eat that all up almost completely. I am currently hashing at 3.1 GH/s combined with two Antminer U2s and calculated about 6 to 7 months until they've mined me a full BTC.

I strongly recommend to NOT mine SHA 256 coins (Bitcoin, Namecoin, Devcoin) using a GPU. You are better off connecting your GPU to a multipool that is mining scrypt coins and converts them to BTC automatically.

Also I currently wouldn't advise to invest in asics unless you have lot's of spare money to buy big ones and get electric power cheap.

What I'd do if you really want get into mining:

Start off with scrypt multipools as I have suggested. Convert the altcoins you mine there into Bitcoins and use those Bitcoins to buy GH/s on Cex.io or to do daytrading.

While you do that become an active an constructive member in this fine community and take advantage of the signature campaigns and provide paid services for bitcoins. Every now and then someone's looking for a translator.

So, I simply copy the below into a .cmd file, and run it?

d:\bfgminer\bfgminer -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u x -p cat -o  btcguild.gigaforge.com:3333 -u y -p egg --coinbase-addr     1JafVRe23oLSku4FBwBE3rJAKc9Y8wZM5z --coinbase-sig "Yep Icon did it again!"

Where I change the bfgminer to the path on my computer, and change the pass and user names to my username?

So, I am running the bitcoin core wallet, and it is synching.  Where do I input the  "bitcoin-qt.exe -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=password -server -listen" at?

Which version are you using? Since 0.9.0, the RPC client has been removed from the bitcoin core wallet.

I am using Bitcoin Core v0.9.1.0-g026a939-beta (64-bit)

Just wondering If i can loan 1.5 BTC and will pay after a week.

Collateral: 0.40353467 BTC choose your escrow service.

To put this another way, you are asking for a 1.1 BTC loan without collateral.

He's either:

A terrible scam artist.

Thinks I am complete idiot..

Is high and/or drunk as f#$@

Is that the way to reply considering your building a lending business???

I am asking in a nice way and with all due respect, but with your attitude GOODLUCK ON Your BUSINESS!!


LEARN TO RESPECT IF YOU WANT TO EARN SOME!

Also if you want respect, then don't make me some offer that only someone with a major mental handicap would take.

Show respect.

So if someone came to you on the street and said....

Let me borrow 1,000.00....ill let you hold 250.00 to ensure I pay you back.....you would do that?

Just wondering If i can loan 1.5 BTC and will pay after a week. You'll be the one to decide the % interest.

REASON: I am on a minor BTC BUY / SELL business on meet up basis.At May 1st there will be a BTC seller and buyer gathering in our local town so Im hoping to gain more profit on this occasion. The larger BTC I sell the larger the profit I gain..

Collateral: 0.40353467 BTC choose your escrow service.

Hoping that you grant my loan.

Note: willing to send some ID for security purposes as well as identity verification

I take .4 btc and give you 1.5, and you ll that collateral? Lulz
