Default Bitcoin. Use your PC to mine make virtual coins

Does anyone use Bitcoin. If so how has it been for you, do you run it for fun or serious about it.

The more powerful your GFX card preferably an ATI the better the mining. Im thinking of giving this a try just for the fun of it. Also who knows this could take off and do Bitcoin users well in the near future.

The investment is aparently greater than the returns and no trustworthy retailer accepts it for payment.

If it costs more than it generates and you can't spend what is generated, what's the point?


Not to mention it's linked to all sorts of shady crap.

If you want to run calculations for "fun", try this: http://folding.stanford.edu/

All Im asking is who else is using bitcoin.

And yes you can make money from it just don't expect to become a millionaire anytime soon. Plenty over here are doing this and from what Ive read the results are positive. Having more than one pc mining helps though. Most of the users here are techguys who have nothing else to do while at work so setup their pcs for mining. Some do it for the fun of it others are serious.

I would hate to pass up on something like this only for it to hit it big in the near future and miss out. I'm going to give this a go nothing to lose if it falls over except my ego.

Bitcoin is not a scam.
