Would people be up for a weekly lotto pool? Everyone could buy a share for 0.001 then at the end of the week give the whole pool to a random winner. Id be up for organising it, it would be nice to just do it for fun on the forum Smiley

If theres enough interest Ill start it at the end of the week Smiley
There's an entire section for these things under "Economy > Marketplace > Gambling"
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0(I'm not sure it'll lemme link)

The math is all the same, its just sold in different wrappers. Get creative, I'm sure you can pull off the next btc lotto. Smiley

Not sure if my post went through, I am new to this and ive been reading all day.  I seem to be running at 104Mhash/s per second but im running an  NVIDIA Geforce GTX 670  ROG card.  From what I can see its not overclocking and my hash/s is only at about a 5th of what it should be.  Any suggestions?
I believe that's probably spot on. Nvidia Geforce's rock for gaming, but they are truly horrible for mining.

Any sites where I can work for a a decent amount of bit coins?

What sites do you use? how much do you guys make daily?

What kind of work are you hoping to do? Are you attempting to avoid mining?

Well never tried it before...only been in this world for only 49 hour plus hours...any down side to mining? what is needed?

Welcome!
The downside to mining is heat, noise, a crazy powerbill, ROI, hardware failure, and trying to get your wife to understand why its 90degrees inside even though it's only the beginning of April. Other than that, it's the sweetest gig in town. Smiley
What you need to mine is hardware that is efficient enough to compute hashes at a rate that makes you more money than what your power bill will be(unless you just think of it as investing your powerbill money in btc, in which case just go buy them). Smiley

Re: is it even worth trying to get mining this late in the game?

You'd just burn electricity and your laptops out.

You could try Litecoin, but Bitcoin is definitely out.
How exactly does the mining work? Is there a way to generate them faster than with a laptop. I guess the question is what would you need in order to mine coins, and if you can't mine anymore of them, is there any way to work for them through current owners of them or can they only be purchased? I'm still pretty new to this forum and I'm still waiting for my wallet to finish downloading.
 Also on a side note is there like a key chart for some of the words and phrases used. I'm trying to read other topics in the forum to better understand the system and how it works, but some of my understanding is mutled  Huh due to a small language barrier so to speak.
Check out electrum, you don't have to download the blockchain.(google it)
As for being unable to "mine the coins",, it's still possible,, just impracticable with the stated hardware. Go big or go home. Smiley
