Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Should I buy a new gaming PC to also mine?

It's fine to have a dual machine, but a couple things to understand:
To get the most out of your GPU, you will need to BIOS mod it, and potentially use different drivers, plus overclocking it for mining. All of these things are not really something you can do while also using that GPU for gaming, at least I wouldnt recommend it.
If you are fine not having an optimized card, just keep in mind you will drastically reduce the lifespan of the card, and may see some issues while gaming. Heat may also quickly become an issue in a standard closed gaming case.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU mining will die in 2018!

New coins/tokens are being created just as quickly as those switching to PoS or ASIC. I'm not sure if coins in the top 10 will be viable for GPU mining, but there will always be something to point your rig at.
CPU mining is another matter though. I wonder what percentage of it is used by botnets.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Easy mineable coins - 2018 ?

Depends what you mean.
Low difficulty and ease of mining doesn't mean higher profitability.
For example, Bytecoin is super easy to mine, but I would be hesitant to choose it over something more "difficult" like Monero.
For pure CPU mining I would look at cryptonote coins specifically.

Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Time to move from Electrum

Always thought Electrum was a popular choice and it actually is for many people. So I think they'll resolve their issues, it's been around for so long.
Core seems to be the best way to go If you don't mind running a full node.

Economy / Speculation / Re: Will we ever see 20k+ again?

Interesting point of view, skeptical of predictions but it could go either way. Be nice to see 20K or over hitting soon, it will generate some nice momentum.
