You are probably better off trying to buy some form of FPGA to mine, they are cheaper than asics and can be had right now

Re: Free µBTC sites: take care

the free sites are usually not worth your time to be honest.

you earn some BTC by selling stuff or just buying it on exchanges Smiley

Or mining with ASICS or GPUs for alts and then exchange/trade for BTC. You can also offer services for BTC.

Re: Bitcoin Lending
by

on 23/07/2013, 15:17:33 UTC
So I'm new to the bitcoin world and looking to borrow some BTC to help improve my online credibility.  I am looking for a 1 BTC which I can payback along with 50% interest in 1 month.  I realize I don't have any cred in the BTC-world which is why I am willing to pay such ridiculous interest.  If interested in lending to me, please message me

You shouldn't ask for lending the first day you join.  Become active with the community and get your name known.  In the meantime why not mine some BTC for yourself?  I have a thread here in the "Newbie" area so you can get started mining tonight! Smiley

This is excellent advise. You should either mine as he says or build up your credibility a bit and then ask for a loan.

Re: ASIC Chips

Ahhh.. I assumed that block erupter blades used Avalon chips.

BFL chips look a bit hard to hand solder Smiley . Are there PCB's available for them?

Thanks!

From my understanding, I think BFL is a bit scammy so I would probably advise against pre ordering chips from them and instead go with other companies that have a higher odds of delivering

welcome & have fun.

some tips: buy bitcoins - ignore altcoins, they're mostly shit and not worth your time. don't gamble (mentioned before), do not trust anyone and always use escrow.
As a newbie I have to ask- how to get -5 trust with activity=14? Or... how to not get it?! Anyone can just click "don't trust" and you're scammy?

I think that is a little bit how it works, you just have to hope that nobody does that

Re: The bitcoin origin

So, there were the "0 block", then a few computers were calculating next blocks, and if one found a correct one it was added to the block chain (although it has no transactions in it) and it's owner got 50BTC. It continued for some time and then a guy bought pizza for 10k BTC. Is that correct? Wink.

From my moderate understanding, that is basically correct

Re: WTB BTC small amount happy to send first etc

on 23/07/2013, 15:02:34 UTC
Not sure on the exact qty at the moment but approx 2 BTC

Am prepared to pay 70 GBP per BTC

Seeing as your a easy target for scammers by being alright with sending first, i would recommend that you use the site virwox for you bitcoins, however i am not sure on the fees which may be high.

Or you can just use escrow

I would most likely recommend 3 7950s and a bit more RAM to ensure proper mining if you are going with script

MtGox can't add LTC because they will have problems applying to U.S. regulations.
