Hello,
Just a lonely bitcoiner over hear in search of the key to break the newbie jail... lol
Anyways, I'm relatively "new" to bitcoin mining. I started CPU mining back in ~2009, but didn't like the results I was getting so I uninstalled the miner (boy, I really wish I would have let it mine away now). Anyways, I recently got back into mining in April of this year. Had dual 7870's mining away and was making some pretty nice returns... then the ASICs hit and the difficulty blew up from ~10mil to now ~150mil and I decided to go another route. I turned my GPUs to mine FTC and then got 2 USB ASICMINERs to continue crunching away at BTC.
I'm hoping to get in on a group buy for some more hardware, but alas... I am stuck in newbie jail... sitting... waiting... hoping all of the pre-order slots don't get gobbled up before I am out of jail.
So, Hello World!

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I have a similar case. I heard about bitcoin back in 2010, but I only had a shitty laptop so I didn't even bother mining. I forgot about BTC for a few years. Then I built my gaming desktop in 2012 with a Radeon HD 6870. I remembered BTC again, and started GPU mining. I wish I remembered a little earlier. Anyway, GPU mining was decent for a while, but of course, once the ASICs hit it was over. Now I'm mining scrypt coins. It's pretty much useless. I'm barely making anything at all considering power costs. But it's still fun for me. I've been hopping between different coins to mine, but I've temporarily settled for FTC mining (seems to be one of the most profitable). My goal is to earn 1 whole BTC without buying it with USD. Also, I've giving up on gambling. Everytime I try I end up losing everything. |

Hello Turning GPUs to mine Alternative coins is the best choice (if you have cheap electricity) |
