Ways of making bitcoins.

[Nutu2000]

Hello! I'm new here, to the world of bitcoins. Just discovered it few days ago and since the I am so eager in getting some coins. I tried mining but it just doesn't cut for me. My computer is just the laziest on the planet and at the current requirements, mining just doesn't cut for me. It gives me only a few MH/s. 

So my question is this: is there another way of rising bitcoins, other than mining? I've found some sites that give free bitcoins but I think I should visit them daily for about a year to be able to withdraw from any of them (maybe not that much, but you get my point). I am not looking to get bitcoins for absolutely nothing. No one will give you money for nothing in return, but... something else than mining for years in a row only to get a bitcoin.

Create a service or product that will appeal to bitcoin users and, of course, ask them to pay in bitcoin.

Buy lots when they are cheap and sell when they are worth more. You'll get a net increase in your money so you can buy more next time

yes, that's true. )
Interesting coinchat.org, though.

yes, they don't but neither coichat.org.

These two site are very interesting. The idea behind coinchat.org is, I think, a premier. I don't think that it exist something like this nowhere in the world. As for bitvisitor the implementation of that old sistem is so... wow! I am amazed by the possibility that Bitcoin offered and how simple is everything.

You could enter Raffles and giveaways. Maybe take a shot at different bounties offered(depending on your skills). Also, a few bitcoin micro-jobs sites are out there. Don't know wich ones are more popular, but you can find them easy.

As about raffles, there's one in my signature. You can find more raffles on the forums.

Sell something you don't want anymore below it's value.

An "easy" way to get bitcoins is trading with bitcoins. If you are good and lucky, they will increase ;-)

What do you mean? And how can I trade with them?

Look up some of the exchanges (MtGox, BTC-E, Bitstamp, CampBX), find out how they allow funding to/from and try out the user interfaces, then pick the one that works best for you. Send them money and buy bitcoins, if the price of bitcoins goes up, sell some and then buy them back later when the price goes down again. Then you can withdraw your money and you have some bitcoins.

The other thing you can do if you buy some bitcoins as stated above is send them to one of the bitcoin stock exchanges (MPEx, BitFunder, or BTCT) and then use them to trade bitcoin stocks. You can buy low and sell high to make some bitcoins, or invest in dividend giving stocks and just earn some bitcoins slowly.

When trading, you should be aware that "buy low, sell high" is a pretty good rule but it only works if there is a "high" after the "low" at which you bought.
Knowing in advance whether a given exchange rate is "low" and will be followed by a "high" is the basic skill a trader must acquire

Interesting. I've never thought of this. ) I'll definitely take a look at this possibility.

Same here, I don't think I'll be able to learn the skills required, but why not give it a chance, especially in the dividends which are less risky, as far as I know. 


Anyone any other ideas. I see that everybody here has something up hiss sleeve. So please share!

Another thing you can do is invest in a simple, (fairly) cheap ASICS such as the Block Eruptor USB. They just slashed their prices down to 1 BTC. This is what I'm doing (while waiting for bigger ASICS). They have group buys going on all the time. The one I'm going to enter (as soon as I'm out of the newb zone) is this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=243137.0

Regardless of whether it will pay for itself or not, it's a nice little investment that will keep paying for a while (I assume it uses next to no electricity).

Good luck!
