Been out of cryptocurrency game for 2 years.. where to start?

[lmfsthefounder]

I've been out of this for a while but looking to come back in for mining and trading.

I dont have much for hardware, yet, but my GPU wont seem to mine using cudaminer or cgminer, maybe its just this card or maybe I've gotten amnesia?

Card is pulling 146 kh/s on multipool.us (so says GUIminer-scrypt), but pool shows NOTHING.

Occasionally, the console part of GUIMiner gives me this:

2017-05-19 13:45:39: Listener for "cuda": [2017-05-19 13:45:39] GPU #0: GeForce 8500 GT result does not validate on CPU (i=766, s=1)!

Also, where are the good exchanges? Preferably something high volume with 2fa.

Afterthought:

My GPU is a GeForce 8500 GT and should be able to get more than it is getting...

For exchanges:

GDAX for bank ACH deposits and withdraws, and Bittrex and Poloniex for trading altcoins.   I don't know much about mining. Honestly this is the type of stuff you should do google and forum searches to find out, but meh I'm not a mod.

Jump to -> Poloniex -> Deposit some bitcoins-> Look at the chart->Take any coin out of the first 10 most traded ->Check history -> Pray to Almighty ->Blindly invest in the coin -> Close poloniex for a week -> Open and sell the coin you invested in ->Instant Rich.

Someone's got it figured out.

Pretty easy to make money, even a monkey could profit atm.

Used to be alot easier to mine lol. Its likely this graphics card to be honest, but doesn't make sense why it mines and won't display at the pool side

Speculation. Every satoshi matters at this point, even if losing money currently on electricity.

Sell everything, including family members and hourse. Take all the loans you can take, then wire everything to an exchange. Buy Bitcoin then transfer it to somewhere safe.

Then take some time thinking about what to do with the bitcoins

No it doesn't.If it does,you might just buy bitcoins by your money instead of wasting time on mining and money on electricity.You either way are paying for it.

Did you mean a horse ?
You have given the worst suggestion ever.So unrealistic.Op would be left with no options but to jump off a cliff if bitcoin prices start flowing downwards.
