Hello everyone!

I really amazed to hear many of you have found your own ways to mange to make some bitcoins.

I think it would be helpful to newbies like me if you guys share your personal experiences of how you get BitCoins. Is that by mining, or freelancing, or trading? Whatever it be, just share ur experience with us. Cheesy

So it's not a puzzle (this is a simple way to explain it to an idiot).

It's an SHA256 Hash that is being generated. If you're interested in what the process is you can find refs. here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

This idea is called 'proof of work' and it's how the bitcoin network prevents doublespending and builds the blockchain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work


Thanks for making me feel that I am not an idiot anymore Smiley And thanks CIYAM for you explanation with example. Interested in knowing more about it!

Regards,
Kevin.

Hey there!

I am a noob in this field and so forgive me if my questions are stupid.
I can't understand this: Why is it needed to solve a puzzle inorder to generate a bitcoin? It makes no sense to me (just to me! no offence Grin).. Can anyone explain it in detail?

Got it. Do you find it more profitable to work for bitcoin, than other currencies?

(PS - Is there a plural for bitcoin (like "bitcoins")? coz it shows a spelling mistake in the text box.)

Hey there!

Is there any way to make bitcoins other than just using our computers' resources to solve puzzles and eventually earn'em? (Like freelancing)
