The season is finally changing. Can I completely eliminate having to heat the room with this electric heater? I think I can! Now it'll be totally free to mine even at lower valued coinage. It's going up anyway tho lol.

Come to actually think about the relative wattages, of course it's enough!

Bitcoin mining does have a history of being of effective at heating.

They have already had some flash games, and even cracked stuff to have miners in it, also code that steals your bitcoins from wallets. :bitcoin:

nah, i didn't mention those particular shitshows, though I should have.

mostly the problem is that all code in the cryptocurrency "space" (if you will) is an utter loving shitshow:


the hardest part in slipping something malicious into such code is that it's rare to find a blockchain coder that smart.

Hey hey, the hackers who steal bitcoins appear to be the smartest bitcoiners.

I saw the humble bundle: Bitcoin for python, and closed the link. I don't think I could handle ethereum which is like a retarded man who had heard about C tried to make a language having only learned javascript.

The problem is that only people getting drugs or child porn are the ones that really don't want anyone ever even the bank itself where the transaction is going. Kind of beyond the libertarian true believers still out there.

What a lot of Bitcoin companies do is they make the change immediately or they don't use the blockchain for everything. So instead of you being on the Bitcoin address that's just what your wallet is and basically if you get hacked via the exchange you lose everything because none of its on the actual account connected with you. Is the most common problem Bitcoin companies have. They basically play the numbers so they can buy expensive cars while their company is insolvent.

I mean in a serious note there are programs that will change the location that the bitcoins are sent too. Since cpu mining is long dead and gpu mining still fringe it is unlikely, but yeah you can get hit and all your mining addresses will change to the hackers.

Hackers are on the look out to do poo poo to steal bitcoins and other poo poo there is a reason why they estimate that every bitcoin in circulation has been stolen at least once.

Also it uses the advantage of all the alt coins that no one gave a poo poo about 6 months ago and were 5 cents. So now bitcoin has gone up people are throwing money at it like it is the south seas company. So basically all the new people trying to get in on the craze are blustering all these things that floundered for months if not years. All of whom have less difficulty and less cost to mine than the big boys.

That's the long needless explanation why people are paying for "cloud mining" to them you are the suckers. Cause when the currency reaches the magical number they made up to feel good about doing this, you will have worthless gift cards to buy real goods instead of imaginary internet money.

Well, there was an experiment recently that demonstrated that mold tends to naturally find the shortest path between two points when given many options to choose from. Perhaps the BTC miners that produced those moldy, GPU exhaust-fan dried strawberries could.. gently caress I was so sure I had an easy joke when I started typing, but thinking about this poo poo just makes me sad

Mold is too old for most bitcoiners to be interested in :v:
