RE: Heard About Mining, But Don't Know Where to Start? Here's How to Start Today With Your PC!
I have tried mining for the past 3 months since joining Steemit and so far the result has not been so great.
My laptop hardware is not so good even if I have an AMD :(
Btw the laptop is 5 years old.
Yes. That's one of the unfortunate parts. Now that mining has become so popular, the difficulty is beyond what most computers can handle effectively. I was fortunate that I began mining before the XMR price spike around a month ago.
There are some currencies that you can mine more effectively, but finding the right tools to do so can be difficult.
What currency have you been mining?
I have tried ETH, ZEC, Dash and the some other less known ones.
ZEC was the best among them
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?
