Hi there. A while ago, I saw an interesting contest started by changelly
on Twitter, in which they're inviting users to share stories about their experience in crypto over the past 5 years with a hashtag. But it seems to me that 280 symbols on Twitter are not enough to fully reveal the topic.
So how about we share our funny/dumb/instructive stories here?
I'll start. In January 2018, when mining hype was at its best (what a time!), I was assembling a new computer for myself. Among other things, I had to buy a video card, because they were in a huge shortage, their price tags jumped closer to space.
In general, it was a pity to give $800 for the usual GTX1070, so I decided to make it work even a little bit and try to do mining Zcash. Fortunately, I had a friend miner who helped to figure out the issue.
Unfortunately, when the card delivered at me, the ZEC's course collapsed significantly, and I practically did not earn anything from its mining. However, I didn't despair and decided to study this issue more deeply. As a result, this failure situation helped me to work my way into the world of cryptocurrencies and start making my profit on this though I decided to focus on making a profit from bitcoin mostly, not altcoins.
