At first mining was a piece of cake. You could mine on your own personal PC and making thousands of Bitcoins. Today it's impossible.

He knew that he must adjust the difficulty for mining (I believe to increase the price of the bitcoin). But have he ever imagined that mining will be ever possbile on GPUs or ASIC miners? What about mining farms? Is this man a genius?


Search what he has already posted around the forum.
