  1. I would just recommend buying bitcoins directly. Mining only becomes profitable when the value of bitcoin increases, where as just investing in bitcoin will get you a greater return than operating your own miner. The only reason you would want to GPU mine is if you plan on mining x11, x13, x15 coins or other exotic algos. If don't know what those are, then don't even consider GPU mining. If you think bitcoin value will go up, the best way to make money on that rise is to buy the bitcoins directly, without mining.
  2. I'm seeing links to all sorts of bitcoin miners here, and advice about not mining at all, and I'm worried the OP might actually be swayed into buying one of those, or not get involved at all. My advice is, is you're looking to mine, buy scrypt asics...you have a much easier chance of fulfilling ROI than on bitcoin (which you'll truly never ROI on unless BTC prices go up). My real advice though would just be to put your money directly into bitcoin itself, and if you feel inclined to, some promising alt coins (not the pump and dump day trade kind) which I'd be happy to talk about with you. Mining scrypt or investing directly into bitcoin is going to be your best bet on making ROI, and not making yourself and cryptos seem stupid to your buddies. Some background on myself: I started with 1x 7950 mining in feburary (of which you can find my noob posts) and 2x the money of my 7950 in 1 month by trading the right things. Over the last couple months, I've put considerably more money into the crypto-scene, and made out very well by picking long term promising coins of which i bought and mined, so I'm no amateur in the crypto scene. Hope this short spiel helps you make the right investments regarding cryptos.
  3. My favorite thing about the LG G3 is that sexy removeable back. I Haven't had a phone with a replaceable battery in far too long.
  4. You should look into some of the newer coins and mine on their multipools. VeriCoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=602041.0) and CryptCoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=618377.0) are two coins that are going to go big within the next week or two if you wanted to make some nice money.
  5. The web-wallets on the site are actually more secure than the wallets that exchanges use. Creating a web-wallet is free, which you can use to keep coins safely on the web. You could put as many dogecoins as you want there and they'll never get lost or stolen
  6. Hey guys, check out this site, http://www.lovecrypto.com, where you can send a package of various Crypto-currencies such as LTC, BTC, DOGE, and more as a gift in an email to whomever you like. Here's what it'll look like from the receiving end: http://www.lovecrypto.com/assets/images/claim.png If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reply, as I can relay them to the developer of the site. Happy Mining
  7. Like I stated previously in the thread, the wallets were on my computer, which happened to be connected to the internet.
  8. Both of these wallets were stored locally in my computer, and neither were encrypted, though I'm not sure if that would have stopped it. Needless to say this is quite the learning opportunity, and it'll only make me the wiser. This was more of a warning for everyone else that still has LTC and VTC in their wallets, and doesn't want to get robbed.
  9. So, sometime today, my LTC wallet showed this transaction: f03baecbf52b69e9ca119c79e398eb603acf1dcc10c76f0d56adb35248d34609-000 which took ALL of my LTC out (-1.30021502) and sent it to this address: Li3EKDnD4WXNse7yHt81PtPQRo1mEAEiPK ALSO, sometime today, my VTC wallet showed this transaction: 53504cb5bec1f96000633433817767c4b09c54e8cdfb7b543b077b19659642ab-000-001 which took MOST of my VTC out (-31.60) and sent it to this address: Vby2EMRBHFRPHpbpVhV7cKaGKZ86Mv853z, while another transaction: 53504cb5bec1f96000633433817767c4b09c54e8cdfb7b543b077b19659642ab-001 took the REST of my VTC (-0.01891654) and sent it to this address: Vwm8eo8KhSRZ2W1eYX71pB2LkD5MNAUAfC I basically got robbed $45 ish, and while I'm not entirely concerned with the money that i lost, I'm concerned that it happened, and that others or myslef won't be able to get it back. I believe this attack to be related to heartbleed, so i advise anyone who hasnt been attacked yet to keep their wallets offline for the time being. Only my personal wallets on my computer were compromised, and the money on my exchanges remained SAFE. AGAIN, everyone should keep their wallets offline until these things get fixed, as you could lose a lot more than I did. And if anyone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I have a few other wallets that had coins in them that weren't affected...it seems as if they specifically targeted LTC and VTC. I had no BTC on my computer.
  10. I have no clue why you feel like that but I have a STRONG feeling you highly misinformed about bitcoin and its beneficial use-cases. Currently, when you buy something online, you give the site not only your name, but also your house address, email address, credit card info, and whatever other info they want to have. Bitcoin allows you to purchase something online without giving up your information to sites, and the hackers who hack those sites...Also, in order for money to be sent quickly around your country and even the world requires massive fees placed by money transfer companies(who do need to profit). Bitcoin allows you to send money to anyone in the world for free, or an extremely small miner's fee. I don't know what your gripe with crypto-currency is, but information is key in making an informed decision on a subject.
  11. For anyone wondering, these fans have already been shipped out...a week before massdrop's estimated shipping date which is really nice.
  12. Are these static pressure fans, I need some for my radiator and was wondering if these would work?
  13. Nobody mentioned http://www.techbargains.com/ ? It's probably the greatest site ever created, updated every hour and filled with all kinds of deals. Happy Shopping
