Sell the stuff you have that you were always too busy or too lazy to sell.  Take that money and move it to an exchange and learn to buy some coin on the exchange.  Or you could buy the coin from a trusted seller on the forums.  Chasing pennies from faucets is not financially worth it once you know how to use a wallet.
1502  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining Bitcoins with old rigs on: June 27, 2014, 08:51:16 AM
my rig is so old, but I still use it to mining, it is impossible to mine bitcoin with the high difficulty. so I mine some altcoin with small difficulty.
i prefer mine x11 or x13 like darkcoin, lioncoin, cryptcoin. because i get good Hashrate with my old rig Cheesy

Well as long as the hardware is capable of allowing GPUs to mine scyrpt, X11, X13 coins then yeah you're OK.  But that's not what I would consider old.  Something like a Celeron 333 or Pentium 75MHz rig - that would be old.  If it can support a PCIe Gen 2 slot it can probably mine.

Something like a Celeron 333 or Pentium 75MHz rig is not old.
but it's time to bury them Cheesy rig that doesn't support PCIe.
most importantly, like you said. they can support the PCIe and whatever the processor. it can be mine.

We're talking in PC times, and in PC times they are old.  They don't have PCIe slots so they're essentially obsolete for mining. The processors can't handle instruction sets to even CPU mine.

What were considering old?  I have my 386 SX.  My dad has punchcards in the garage that he used with Fortran (most likely before you were born).  I think I have a stone tablet...

Using a Bitcoin faucet a year about may have been worth it now. Not anymore.

We may say the same thing a year from now though.

It made sense a year ago looking back because it was paying decently in fiat terms.

Right now you're best use of your time would still be to sell a few assets and just buy the coin. Sell some baseball cards, some old books, a tennis racket, whatever and just buy coins on an exchange.

Faucets are for beginners to understand how wallets work and understand the decimal point.

Why is this thread so popular?  Grin  People looking for easy money.

Amazon has a couple of good reads on betting systems, I read one on the way to Vegas once and laughed.

If you want to win, find a casino off the strip and play single or double deck blackjack.

I am no longer allowed to gamble at Bellagio or it's affiliates, I'll just leave it at that  Grin
1505  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: GPU Mining. on: June 27, 2014, 08:34:52 AM
GPU mining is very risky now that even scrypt has ASICs available.  It will only be a matter of time before X11/X13/N have ASICs (assuming those coins survive to warrant ASIC development).  I would say GPU mining is only a somewhat safe bet if you have free electricity.  Barring that you're better off buying/speculating.
even with free electricity GPU mining will likely not even be worth your time.

you can still miner some x11 /x13 coins with gpus.
profit is not what it used to be, but also isnt something to be thrown away either.

cheers

It may be profitable, but so is standing outside a supermarket begging for money.

If those X11/X13 coins go belly up in a 10 day period (we've seen alts come crashing down since 2011), then you're left holding 10, 20, 30 or however many cards you bought.  If you have a nice GPU that you game with and mine part-time you can't go wrong.   If you build out a farm now you're risking a lot more than last year at this time.

For me, I would spend my assets trying to build a crypto business.  The largest holders of coins besides the early whales are the bitcoin/litecoin businesses.

Dank is the 1st response, and asks a question that I can't really find a bearing to.

We all know NK is China's crazy uncle.  It gets out all the crazy talking points and threats through NK.  Rock and a hard place, China being the rock.  Things will continue status qou with Elmer Fudd until China changes it's mind.

It is a serious issue but because it's an international "wild west" nobody wants to pay for clean-up.  Kessler Syndrome was the basis for the movie Gravity.
1509  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Child rape victim: Hillary lied about me to defend my rapist on: June 27, 2014, 07:51:42 AM
The Clintons have a lot of dead bodies in their wake dating back to their years in Arkansas, so this lying to defend some rapist (while it's bad) is fairly small potatoes for this bunch. Ask Vince Foster (for starters) what he thinks of the Clintons... oh wait: "he shot himself" ah huh.

Vince Foster knew too much. Therefore he had to be eliminated. One of the many murders committed by Billary.

The man who knew too much? The truth about the death of Hillary Clinton's close friend Vince Foster

Yeah, there's also Ron Brown http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Brown_%28U.S._politician%29

Both happened in close proximity so it made a lot of people wonder.

Unfortunately the math isn't adding up.  If they're spending $75 billion on food stamps the money is being misappropriated on fraud or bureaucracy.  Instead of issuing money, it would be cheap to drive door to door with cans of corn, peas, tuna, etc and deliver to hungry families.  Now they give out plastic cards that are sold in alleyways and on craigslist to pay for drug habits.

No, no, no! You forgot about getting a lot of people killed, thus reducing the demographic pressure on the Earth's ecology. He should get a prize from Greenpeace for that!


Well he did get a Nobel Peace Prize - perhaps it was in economic theory. Disparage enough people and they'll want to kill themselves and not have kids - the ultimate steward of the environment!

Damn those Pirates

DirtFighter - you need to read up a little on BTC history since you may not know the infamous Trendon Shavers.

I actually came up with that conspiracy idea and posted it on BTCe trollbox over 1 year ago.  Was good for a lot of laughs!

Hey MrG, have you tried introducing yourself as DrGGrin

Seriously just be yourself around her.  If she doesn't send signals in a week, then push it a little with flirting.  No response then run away - who knows, maybe she'll chase.

If you're a guy and married and ask the wife what she wants for dinner you could be waiting for a while.  I'm a dude, I love women, but before meeting my wife I had mostly women as friends.  I would say for small stuff they are indecisive and for big things they know what they want.  Guys it's the other way around.

This being a generality of course.  My best friend is a "guy" and he takes 10 minutes ordering in a drive-thru and I want to bitch slap him.

Blame the liberal portion sizes, coming in from Mexico.

Are you sure about that? Because the Mexicans are not as obese as the other ethnic groups.



Those are old numbers.  I work in an area in Southeast Los Angeles - the population here is more or less 95% Hispanic.  I would say 50-55% are obese, with about 20% being morbidly obese.  I refer a number of these patients out for bariatric surgery (they failed pils).  I have 2 patients who are over 600 pounds  Shocked

Gotta start screening for lightbulbs...

Been gone for a while due to health issues but everything is OK now.

Just kind of took a break from the madness of crypto!

You're not allowed to leave your post with miners running.  You get down there and stoke the fires of hell!
