Thanks for stopping by!

What kind of a setup were you using to mine the ZEC?

I had an AMD GPU 2.6 GHz quad core and I was using suprnova.cc as pool for the various coins.

I have tried many of the different mining software so see if there is a change but they are pretty much the same..

Well it sounds like you've explored all of your options. It's always worth a shot to see if you can be profitable. If only we had begun this several years ago...

Haha this is exactly what I told myself! I heard of Bitcoin first in 2012, heard about mining in 2013 and I started mining in 2017 when the difficulty has risen so much :(

Unfortunately, I didn't hop on the Bitcoin train until last fall. I still should have bought a whole coin when they were $700, but oh well. All we can do now is get involved and hope for more good returns.

How did you first hear about Bitcoin so early?

I was in the UK doing my Masters in Network security.

So we had guest lectures and there was a talk about blockchain and this is when I first heard of Bitcoin.

Since it had such a bad reputation with the FBI looking for Satoshi, I didn't pay attention to Bitcoin..

What about you? How were you introduced to Bitcoin?

That's very interesting. I don't really recall the first time I heard about Bitcoin, but I didn't start actively following cryptocurrency trends until last year at about this time when one of my fellow graduate students started mentioning that he had purchased some Bitcoin.

I also signed up for Steemit last November, not realizing that it was also based on blockchain technology. I didn't start being active on Steemit until earlier this summer when I met their blockchain developer, and he encouraged me to give it another go.
