I keep seeing this come up. The kind of people who ask this question over and over again seem to literally think that money grows on their computer. That may have been true a long time ago, but now bitcoin's mining difficulty is much greater and this is not the case anymore. Your best bet is to get a bitcoin paying job or join a signature campaign. Everything else will not bring you a substantial income.
I miss the good old days where you could easily mine Bitcoin with your CPU or GPU. Too bad I didn't get in earlier or I would have become rich by now. Anyways, I'm still glad I discovered Bitcoin. The thing that most attracted me was it's decentralization and near zero fees when making transactions.

I don't really think there is any good alts at the moment though I'm a little out of touch with them, these days. A good alt coin right now is Burst. I like the fact that you can mine them with your spare HDD space. It's so much easier than mining with a ASIC miner. Just my opinion How does that work exactly? You just download the Burst wallet and the miner. At first start, your miner will detect plot size (usually your HDD space) So the bigger space you have, the more coins you can mine. Official site: http://burstcoin.infoMining calculator: http://burstcoin.biz/calculatorRight now the network difficulty for Burst has lowered. So now is the best time to mine them. Depending on the difficulty, you're current HDD space will determine how many coins you will earn. The bigger the difficulty, the harder it is to mine them with your current space. In that case, you're going to need more HDD space. I usually mine with one 2TB HDD (internal) and another 2TB HDD (external) That makes 4TB of free space in total. I think I'm going to get another HDD soon. Hope this helps

Earned 5200 satoshis from Stakeminers. I have reinvestments enabled so all I have to do is just sit back and watch the Bitcoins grow...lol

Are they coming back??
They came back as an "investment" website without explaining what they're doing with your money. They're scammers. There's an investment website called Crypto Currency Arbitrage Network. They could be the same scammers from cloudminr.io but I'm not sure. Here's the link: https://ccan.io/

Are they coming back??
I really doubt it. If they ever come back, they'll come up with a new name. I have the perfect name for them: scaminr.io

Isn't there any decentralized BTC exchange around? One that doesn't require ID verification among other things (like Cryptsy) in which I could trade BTC anonymously? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks You can trade BTC anonymously on any exchanges, but BTC to fiat or fiat to BTC is none at this point. Someone should make an exchange where you can trade BTC for fiat with no ID verification, etc That would be great. and would be against the law, it would be shut down in minute, the problem is always that you need to attach your bank account, from that moment you are screwed, they will know about it crypto should leave fiat altogether and used directly for buying what you want That is certainly true but shoudn't we supposed to have freedom when it comes to using our money? I think that governments have taken that freedom and thus they apply regulations with the fact that you don't have complete control over your funds. With Bitcoin, we are our own banks and have complete control of our money. However, I do like the fact that you could use crypto for purchases and leave fiat aside. This is just my opinion, though

Who knows? Maybe Expanse would kill Ethereum and become #2 in market cap. All of this is speculation. Just my opinion, though. You might disagree with it

I feel too sorry for this coin. I was hoping that it would bring more development but it's been several weeks now, and no news from dev. The idea of the game was really cool. I guess this is another shitcoin. Will probably sell my TAM and exchange them to BTC. I'm just going to stick out with the good old coins like (BTC, LTC and DOGE)

You've got a point there. It seems it is so. Anyways, the idea of Ethereum for smart contracts and decentralized applications is really cool. One that I'm looking forward to is Maidsafe. In my pipe dreams I see some great possibilities for an integration between Maidsafe and Ethereum as well . E.g. Maidsafe could be an excellent infrastructure for storing digital goods, providing storage and computing services, and Ethereum can be the trading platform, accounting, billing and legal service for all that stuff . That would make an excellent decentralized system. Just combine Ripple + Ethereum + Maidsafe and you've got a whole decentralized computing and financial system ahead. Imagine the future. That's why I've been investing in these coins. They provide good technologies

This is what I think: Ethereum will survive and Ripple will die for sure. Why? Because Ripple is centralized. Just my opinion, though Actually Ripple and ETH could work fine together. Ripple would be the gateway to the material stuff and a host of different crypto and fiat currencies and Ethereum can be the intelligence what monitoring and controlling the flow of goods and money. BTW Ripple not going to be dead soon, there are tons of money behind them and money transfer services and some banks are jumping into it. Ripple's centralized nature is a benefit/requirement for such companies. You've got a point there. It seems it is so. Anyways, the idea of Ethereum for smart contracts and decentralized applications is really cool. One that I'm looking forward to is Maidsafe.

This is a great guide, especially for noobs that don't have experience in coding. Thanks for sharing this, mate!

i dont think faucet helps
Faucets helps. And it really helps. What do you think would happen if faucet didn't exist in bitcoin world? Do you think there are more people (at least) who will become much interested in bitcoin especially the newbie ones. Newbies claim at faucets at first and that is an easy method to have a satoshis in less effort. He will claim everyday and he is quite happy because it grows everyday. Then that newbie will suddenly realized the slow earnings and that will turned to a person to explore more about on method of earning bitcoins . If faucets don't exist and all newbies will just step in this forum without any services or offers to skill do you think , where do you think that newbies will get satoshis for less effort. There are many reasons why faucets still there. They played an important role too in bitcoin world. completely agree with you. i regret not having started with faucets.when i was trying to learn about bitcoin , i first started by getting scammed. You're absolutely right. In fact, I got scammed by GAW when I first started with Bitcoin. Then got scammed by Hash Profit, and ultimately cloudminr.io After all that I've been through, I learned a valuable lesson. I'm never going to invest in cloud mining again. Now I'm earning through alt coin trading and of course, the signature campaign.

I don't even know what the hell Bitcoin XT is? Probably a new Bitcoin? Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm lost in space Its an altcoin... and who are all of these people switching?? technically it's only the future upgrade of bitcoin core, not really an altcoin i think people want to try it out, while supporting the idea of a bigger tx limit to allo more transaction per seconds, which is needed and inevitable i can't understand relly the concern about it, while chinese miners have their concern that may be seen as a good concern, normal users should not be against it ever, because they have no reason at all, besides being an hater for the lulz in the event of a fork would all bitcoin owners or users have to send their coins to new wallets ? surely this could be a meduim sized inconvenience for some people or businesses Why not just improve Bitcoin Core instead of making a fork? (Bitcoin XT)

I was thinking about it and recently came up with this: The name Bitcoi NXT might be a merge of Bitcoin and NXT. Get it?

I remember when Paycoin was worth $20 each. Now it's below $0.03 It's a good thing I didn't invest in this coin anymore. Just exchanged some of my XPY to BTC. Another dead coin...sigh I miss the good old days when you could stake Paycoins with Hashstakers. It was really fun
