In b4 “You wont make a profit”… i know, i want to use my computer to heat my apartment. i figure that even if i’m making a “loss” each month on the mining it’s still cheaper than running my apartments electric heaters when you account for the sold (or not) bitcoin.

I’ve been doing well keeping things warm by Folding at home on the CPU but apparently AMD GPUs aren’t supported for that and i want to put my GPU to work too.

I briefly mined some litecoin in like 2013/14 when BTC was just about popping off. other than that i have no mining experience (and i would have been using windows back then)

Need to sort something soon, Jan and Feb are probs the coldest months in the UK and i have gotten this far this year without using the heaters

    That’s like compiling a list of all of the hacks that happen on the internet and jump to the conclusion that the internet is bad because of it.

    Some of those are just people falling for old scams/phishing that could have happened anywhere and are not a Cryptocurrency problem. Pyramid schemes are much older than Cryptocurrencies, people falling for it there would fall for it elsewhere.
