Ah. I haven't read about that.

Thank you all for your replies.
ATM, I'm doing this for fun and research. I've known about BTC for a while, but never really bothered to take a deeper look into it until I've heard about the ASIC rigs. I just want to be sure that this works before spending bigger money on mining-specific rigs.

Also, do you have any predictions about the effect of ASICs? I'm an economist, so I know that the exchange rates would drop significantly if many new sellers would show up, but what would happen on a long term?

Hi!
I have a few questions that are still not entirely clear. I have a coinbase wallet, and my PC is in bitminter mining pool when it would be oherwise idle. I get around 25-30 mhash/sec.
Are these two services "good enough" for people, who are otherwise dumb to IT, and cannot setup a linux distro? If not, can anyone recommend something else?
Thank you in advance

This is the only topic in the newbz section ive found about coinbase. Can anyone recommend a better service? I'm kinda lost

I too think that this is a waste of time

I'm agyi. I've found the reply button in android. It's a start, innit?
