Care to share the 6btc just kidding

I just don't see the point of even talking about mining, I guess if I investigated more into the different algos and what not and see what my computer could handle I would mine altcoin and the likes but really is it even worth it?

Worth it depends on what you want out it. Some people tinker with hardware that never makes them money but it's fun for them. For other people they need to spend $100 going skiing or $1500 just on a flight to have fun.

If you're looking to make a profit there is a slim chance a basic computer can mine some future well supported coin - most everybody who mined Bitcoin in 2009 mined at a "loss".

Post your hardware specs and your electricity rate. CPU, memory, GPU, Power supply.

Well I don't pay for electricity, I'm staying with my mom while she battles cancer. I help with the bill but she doesn't let me "dabble in her business" (ie bills), but uh

I have a Dell
It's got 6 gb of ram, intel 4000 hd graphics (that's what sucks the most) running windows 7 and it's an i3.

It's seriously the worst computer, I can't even run games on it. I don't know why people are selling computers like this now claiming they are the "next best thing" it's like a mid level almost there computer that sucks.

Never buy a branded computer Grin

plus its got the basics there all you need is a good $60 GPU and maybe a new power supply and its a decent spec gaming rig

Yeah I'm having more and more trouble with computers from places like best buy and walmarts they seem to think paying 400+ dollars for a computer is worth it. This computer would probably be way less than that.

And yes, my mom pays but I don't know how much she pays per whatever. She doesn't let me know her business we don't have a great relationship
