Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I have been on the internet for some time now.  I think the first time I I entered the world wide web was some time in 2001.  I know I am a newbie compared to others, but I was unable to afford a computer before that time.

Uhh, you give me a hard question... Smiley

I don't know about your country, but here in Macedonia the internet was come a bit later then in US, Canada or the others countries. I remember that if you want to connect to the internet, you should dial up a number and while you are surfing, the phone line is busy. So, if I am 2 hours on internet, my friends should come and knock on my door. Cheesy

I am not sure about my country, but the first time when I have access to internet was in 2002. I was in high school and the same year I buy my first computer. Smiley

P.S. Today Macedonia is No.1 country in the world for WI-FI network. 90% of our territory is covered with WI-FI so if you have smartphone and you are a visitor, then feel free to surf on our network! Cheesy

1996.

I used to borrow my Dads Psion palmpilot and hook it up via Compuserve. I spent about two months laboriously downloading pictures from Baywatch, until my Dad told me I was leaving a trail everywhere I went.

It's a kind of blindness that reason alone cannot cure.

I heard about the internet in around 2000 although i didn't buy myself a computer until around 2005. Used a Compaq laptop with windows XP as the operating system. It didn't seem to me that it was laggy at all at the time although recently I tried to use it again i couldn't even browse on Internet explorer properly  Undecided

Not sure on the year but I was on a BBS at the time the internet came about. A friend of mine said I had to try this new thing out. My first modem was a 14.4 then went to a 28.8
I also remember went I got my 56k modem. I was so cool at the time. We were FTP site junkies. Kinda miss the old days.
Was also kinda sad when they shut down the BBS. Up to 6 people could call in at a time. Was always a race to try and get a connection. Used to tie up the phone line and piss my mom off. LOL. She said I could always go on after 10pm. That was my time. Eventually they got me my own phone line once I would never disconnect from the internet.
