Thank you Sosky for pointing out the lack of detail in my last post (3 crap computers mining)
Ok so I have quite a few old no name (clone ) pcs kicking around & if you have been following me or read some of my previous posts you will know I've been using the Oldies to mine Cryptos online with a point to proving you don't necessarily need expensive hardware to mine cryptos. Some of these computers were actually recovered from the bins & only run on very simple downloadable software .
I do also mine with some serious bitcoin mining hardware, but I did originally start out with my girlfriends lenova Laptop before going to the point of obsessive crazy about mining & a good old dose of FOMO (fear of missing out) thrown in for good measure & which is currently traversing the globe like a Mexican Wave, as the world wakes up to the freedom of cryptos that releases everyone from corporate & Banking Slavery , & try get on board Cryptomania)
One of the computers has a fairly decent graphics card for its age inside its motherboard & that definitely makes a big difference to hashing power but it really is a very basic gpu.( Gt710) & would be laughed out of any mining forum.
However if you have an old pc or 2 kicking around you can use a simple software like GUIminer or claymore , which will use the processor to hash for you. Now this is not a very powerful way to mine but if you are in for the long hall then to me its worth it , but a lot of people disagree with me. Im not sure why anyone would think that mining a little bit of crypto is a waste of time , maybe in the short term yes but long term no . If you had been mining bitcoin back in the day on your crap pc. How much would it be worth now ??
So just hook your pc up find a relevant software & get mining everybody . By mining you are adding value to the coins you mine hence we are creating our very own asset backed banking system . Its so simple its absolute genius !!
That's my point . Don't be put off that you won't make a fortune in a couple of days or weeks but it will pay off if you are in for the long haul, & what have you got to loose if your pc is running most of the time anyway ?
I'm using the Oldies to mine mainly Bytecoin & Dogecoin on Eobot.com . I have thousands of them now, so if they manage to get to a £1.00 each then its a no brainer as far as I am concerned . I believe strongly that these cryptos will do well as they will integrate with other alt coins for their own back of shop uses.
Once certain coins I have then reach a certain value, I will trade them out for Bitcoin & Alts with higher values saving myself a lot of grief & Stress worrying about buying them now .
This is clearly my own opinion & belief . I am not a financial adviser or expert in any of these matters . Please do some research yourself into the appropriate software etc for your own pc or just hook your pc to minergate for a very easy interface & simple to follow set up . There are videos all over Utube in relation to mining on a pc
I am happy to advise anyone with any questions or queries .
this info is very useful for me
