Please don't point and laugh
But is there any point in me trying to mine at 500 Khash/S?
Nope, you're better off buying and trading unless you plan on getting a better rig. Are you trading BTC yet?
No I haven't started trading yet. I've only just started learning about Bitcoins over the last few days, and I don't feel comfortable investing in something I don't completely understand yet. Hopefully I will get to that point eventually though.
