BITCOIN MINING : Has anybody tried it ?

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/bitcoin-mining-has-anybody-tried-it.181610/

I was wondering whether anybody has tried Bitcoin mining on their PC's ?, If yes has anybody been successful ?

I have heard that the mining algorithm's require a powerful GPU, and nowadays even laptops come with good GPU's so I don't think hardware would be a problem for anyone ?

Do share your experiences !

Cheers!

To answer OP's query, you are late to the party. You don't even have the slightest idea how powerful the graphics card should be to mine Bitcoin. The graphics card which comes with laptop is... tch tch... nvm :lol:

I tried with both my laptops. Apparently I need 3-4 years to earn just 1$. T_T

I know about Bitcoin mining (from the news of-course), the guy setting up a mining centre in Iceland or something.

What about all these newcomers(dodgecoin,litecoin etc ?). I did a college presentation on "Grid Computing".

Was wondering if we could use such a technology to mine bitcoins

if you want to mine bitcoins you got to buy asic machines...
