bulllllllshit. Post a screenshot of your bank account showing that you even have $20k Canadian. Hell if you can do that I'll buy your first GPU for you.
These threads are so stupid.
Careful ... It isn't that out of the question. I've taken about 18K USD out of my savings account and invested it in mining hardware to build my farm over the past few months. Not everyone is poor. 20K really isn't that much money when you think about what you earn making an average salary of 60-80K over the course of your career in a lot of fields.
I'm not saying $20k is some outlandish amount of money, but the one reoccurring theme in all of these threads is the initial investment is huge, the knowledge about the subject is rudimentary, and the hardware that the person plans on buying is top of the line and almost impossible to acquire. If someone truly has that amount of money to just throw at a project with zero knowledge, more than likely they are going to pay someone local to do it, not waste their time posting on a message board. Its really the equivalent of me waltzing onto some street racing forum and asking everyone if they think the brand new Porsche I plan on buying will win any races.
