[15:58] howdy [15:59] who's mining BTC? [16:54] netritious: It pretty much requires specialized hardware now. :( [16:55] I was only able to mine about 10,000. Just kidding. I wish. :) [17:19] twayneprice: you are my new best friend ;) [18:44] twayneprice: yeah i am looking into investing in said specialized hw [18:45] looks like i might have missed my chance by about six months [18:48] unless I want to lease out or go co-op [19:07] netritious: you can mine dogecoin with standard hardware, I think. [19:10] netritious: wish I had bought a lot of bitcoins when they first came out... [19:12] http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2013/12/23/the-bitcoin-pizza-purchase-thats-worth-7-million-today/ [19:17] wow [19:35] That's so sad... [19:40] twayneprice: I'm ok with not using standard hardware if the payout is big enough. I mean, whatever crunches numbers best is what I'm interested in. From everything I've read, the new 20nm ASIC tech is going to mine a good bit. [19:40] At this point it's "go big or go home" [19:41] I've also read that mining in a pool is better though. [19:53] heck idk, was just trying to find out if it's fool's gold or not. [20:10] netritious: I think basically you have to get the latest equipment and then it will be good enough for a couple of months and then you'll have to get more. I think it makes only slightly better than the cost of electricity, etc. Unless you can run an extension cord to your neighbors. :) [20:12] twayneprice: http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ is pretty condemining. There aren't a whole lot of scenarios where solo mining provides a good ROI at least accoirding to that calculator. [20:13] *condemning [20:13] and *according lol [20:35] netritious: yup. Most join a group. I think you can go solo and make about $20/day with dogecoin, though.
