I've noticed with basically every platform coming out today, there are an impressive amount of tutorials. Bitcoin doesnt seem to have much of a tutorial database outside of the official bitcoin developer pages. I'm just wondering why there seems to not be much of a push from the community to have more tutorials on the technical side of bitcoin.

I think it would benefit developers and the bitcoin community a considerable amount if there were more resources for developers, will we start to see more of them as time goes on?

Hello,

I've been doing a lot of research on bitcoin and its weaknesses. I realize that bitcoin is software and that anything about it can be changed. After using it for a few months, I think the greatest annoyance is the long transaction times. For large purchases such as transferring money or purchasing a house, the transaction times are fine, but if bitcoin is to really take off in day to day life, it needs much faster transaction times. No one will want to wait around for 15 minutes for confirmations.

My question is, since bitcoin is software, will the transaction times be decreased in the future? I think they absolutely must be or else another cryptocurrency will come along and do it.

It should probably only be a couple more weeks now right?

I was planning on using my old computer that I have at home thats never used because I'm away at University all year. Its a pentium D 2.6 Ghz processor and a pretty old ATI GPU. Electricity costs don't matter to me because I live in an apartment and we have free electricity.

SInce the computer is used literally for nothing, I was thinking of using 100% of its processing power to mine. Would it be possible to mine 2 separate types of coins at once?

Hey guys,
I'm looking into mining and i'm unsure as to which coin I should be mining. I have definitely missed the boat for bitcoin. Can litecoin or Namecoin still be mined on a weaker computer? I would prefer not to mine on my laptop which actually has decent specs to it. Maybe I should mine one of the newer currencies? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Woops forgot to mention I would be mining on my weaker desktop computer that is used for absolutely nothing since I am away at university all year. Its a pentium D 2.66 GHZ CPU and an old ATI GPU. I realize this is really old but if it was left on day and night for months would I not be able to get any decent mining from any coins?

Also to add, I do not pay any electricity charges so there is no worries about that.

Which of the faucets would you guys recommend to a newbie? Are many of them still going?

I think we'll be laughing at this thread even more when BTC reaches 10,000 in the next 5 years

Well it makes sense. If they didn't put up all these barriers there would be a ton of spammers going around this board.
