>falling for the cryptocurrency jew when you could just torrent the game for free

kek

I usually pay with money I make from my wagecuck job.
Sometimes I flip collector's items though.

>Bitcoin mining
>Free

My job.
I also made 2k swing trading in the past two weeks but anything I make off of (((investments))) I put back into itself.

Well I legally have the copy, which means I will get all support and future updates.

Also,

>pirating a multiplayer game

People don't buy CoD for sp

By collecting my rents from my rooms or collecting my coins from my business
Where I spend the day mostly shitposting and playing vidya btw
You can now hate me for having it better than you

It's way better, he gave fake money and the dev accepted it willingly while knowing the money was fake.

is it even worth it to start mining now

really? i though it took more power to mine than what you would earn from it
although it did go up in price recently

>buying games with bitcoin

i really cant wait for the crash. I want all the normies off the free ride.

>He paid 60 dollars on top of the 500 dollars of electricity
People are stupid.

>mines bitcoin
>has hundreds of dollars
>buys shit games
absolute retard

You are better off botting for gold in WoW

I made 300$ selling PUBG crates so that'll be some steambucks for awhile.

welp

How does it actually work? What do you do to bitcoin mine? Why did someone day it costs $500 in electricity?

You can no longet earn anythinf with a single computer

Not if you steal electricity. or you live in a third world shithole where electricity is piss cheap.

>day
i'm pretty sure you mean SAY and not DAY

>Bitcoin
>Free
>Pay for hardware
>Pay for electricity used to mine for it
>Pay for new hardware once your current one burns out
>Free
You need to hire an electrician to actually get money from cryptomining

I'm on my Obama phone

Well there are groups of people that charge a bit but you earn more in the long run if you use them, even if you have a single computer.
It is still a risky investment, like any other thing.

>spending multiple grand on hardware and power so you can get a single game for "free"
>then bragging about it

WHAT A STEAL
LOCK THIS MAN UP

A computer running in a properly cooled environment lasts for years
It will only burn out if you have a catastrophic fail and your protections also fail and don't shut it off in time, which is very unlikely

Gimme a quick rundown on how it works

Seems like that bitcoin is a good device for accelerationism

It doesn't unless you're already loaded

your gpu cycles are used for hosting online transactions or something like that

>has hundreds of dollars
>buys shit games
>absolute retard
I'm curious user, how is he retarded for spending .002 btc on a video game.
Is a few hundred dollars so much for you that you'd be able to change your life completely or something?

see
It is no longer viable if you are a burger because your bills will eat your profits and you will earn nothing.

With bitcoin. Seriously.

I heard some people use solar power for their farms, don't know how viable it is though.

you buy a ton of computers and they get ran at max doing work for other shit earning your currency
every dumb business cunt jumped on the bandwagon wanting "free" money without actually know jack shit about it
it was already to late everyone that was ever going to make back any decent money already cashed out and now pc hardware prices are fucked because of all the idiots

I didn't realize the Gameboy Advance SP had Call of Duty ports that were being produced to this day.

Not very reliable
If there is no sun, guess what happens

>tfw too late to get on the already derailing cryptocurrency train
Goddamnit I feel like killing myself every time I see it mentioned. Is this what it feels like to be triggered?

Use your processing power in exchange for money

There are litteral warehouse filled with computers in 3rd world shitholes mining it and they're not exactly making bank so if you're just a rando with a personal computer you can forget about it

still it's not like you're losing money unless you don't earn enough to pay off your setup

Yes
You now know what is like to be triggered
If you don't meet your quotas, then you don't get paid

I dont. I either play free games, pirate them or get them as gifts from other people

These things are mining at full power, the GPU is most likely at 80 Celsius or above its entire lifetime.

I don't

nigga shut up

they are designed for that though. The average consumer never does it, but they can stand it.
Obviously they will die quick, so no idea if you can actually make a profit, unlike again, you have a way to get "free" electricity.

I've done the math. It'll take over a decade to pay off a setup. You may as well just sell your power back to the grid. You'll make more money that way.

Where is this pic from? I sense an evil presence

>the GPU is most likely at 80 Celsius or above its entire lifetime.
Not if you know what you're doing. My 1080 Ti tops out at 57C when I mine on it.

>Having to buy a fucking 1080 ti just for mining
So it is not viable then

Then you're not using it to its full potential. Might as well not even be mining.

You're literally wasting your money, stop it

>People don't buy CoD for sp
I do. Ask me anything.

You don't. I just do it on my gaming system when I'm not using it.
Nope. Earns about $60 a month in profit at the current prices.

>earns 60 in profit
Lol no it doesn't

What, in your opinion, is the best campaign?

I enjoyed MW1 And 2 but have little experience with the others

With money.

>pay for something with bitcoin
>free

???????????????????????

>Earns $60 a month
Are you sure? did you already take in care the amount of electricity you spend as an extra? because you do, retard
Even if you are a neet that lets the pc on all day, standing by will not amount to the same consumptioon as in mining mode

You're better off grinding raids in old school runescape

How much do they make anyway?

Of course. That's what calculators are for. This shit isn't hard to check.

Literally the only profit they make comes from their electricity being piss cheap in those shitholes

retards think they're making money but they're spending huge amounts on electricity and they wear out their hardware really fast since it's pretty much going 100% nonstop

Does anybody use the processing power? Am I doing calculations and shit for evil illuminati groups?

>
>Does anybody use the processing power? Am I doing calculations and shit for evil illuminati groups?
You're essentially doing calculations to crack passwords for the government

Is there any porn of an anthropomorphic PC being bitcoin mined at 100% power represented by getting fucked in every hole by multiple dicks, pumped full of jizz and then repeated for hours or days at a time?

I only know about donating computer power using cpu power
And even then they just take end game shit like modern i5s and i7s as minimum
They don't want losers with i3s or old shit even if it is donated, which I find ridiculous
makeuseof.com/tag/10-ways-to-donate-your-cpu-time-to-science/

>all that work for 60 dollars
>probably cost more in electricity

Calculations are probably so heavy they need at minimum quad cores and hyperthreading probably helps too

>spent $1200 on a bitcoin mining rig
>spend $600 on electricity every month
>won't reach break even point for another 14 months
Hey guys I got this $60 videogame for free! I'm a genius!

I honestly think putting my tin foil hat on, that people is researching cures for illness but they hide them because they aren't profitable
Like making cures for cancer and aids
It is more profitable to let people die than to heal them

So even if I live in a really sunny area of the USA it still wouldn't be financially feasible to run a solar bitcoin mine?

When the fuck is the mining autism going to die? I just want a normal priced gpu that isn't a piece of shit. The 1060 6gb is good for now but I eventually want to upgrade without obliterating my bank account.

I really wouldn't be surprised if people have already found the cure but they were either killed or paid off so that it never surfaces.

If you live in the fucking desert, it is
Otherwise I wouldn't think so
Also you have to install the panels and know your shit, because they can be damaged and produce less power, find the best orientation for them or hire some expensive expert to do so.

You can get used 1070s for their almost original used prices.
But you already have a 1060 there's literally no reason not to wait until the next line of cards comes out

>It is more profitable to let people die than to heal them
no it's more profitable to treat symptoms than to cure them. It's always more profitable to get them to pay many times than one time

>It is more profitable to let people die than to heal them
That's completely true though. That was actually what Martin Shkreli based his whole business plan on and why he was jacking up the price on niche medication that few people actually used but were 100% protected by insurance.
So he could research other cures for niche diseases and work on curing them.
It's honestly a shame about the whole fraud thing.

Same shit user, they will still die if they aren't healed, but produce a shitton more money.

>If you live in the fucking desert
Yes, I literally do.

>Also you have to install the panels and know your shit, because they can be damaged and produce less power, find the best orientation for them or hire some expensive expert to do so.
Sounds dumb as hell typing it out but my local CC and some local trade schools have a solar panel tech course now, maybe I should check that out so I can do something with my life then just mine buttcoin at the same time

>call of duty Wii

Lmao bro

Of course not. Like I said before, you'd be much better served just using that solar power for your personal use and selling the excess back to the grid. Like fucking everyone who uses solar power.

Apparently the sun shines 302 days per year in my county

If you do it yourself then that's great, but honestly you are almost better off selling your power to the grid like some anons pointed out.

>Pay $2.50 for a Gamescom crate for PUBG
>Get shitty yellow jacket, looks awful
>Keep it in my inventory and forget about it

>Fast forward a few months
>Shitty jacket is now worth $30 in Steam bucks
Fucking Why? Who is buying this shit?

The amount of money you need to invest in mining any crypto to turn a decent profit is retarded at this point. You'll make like 40ยข a day on a mid range computer. Lol

yeah let me just directly exchange my electricity for currency

Skreli was a good guy, he dindu nuffin. If he didn't buy the drug and hike the price, the drug would have ceased to exist anyway. What's worse?
His business model involved buying dying drugs that were too expensive for the companies to keep making, and making them sustainable. But of course faggots think that all drugs should just be free so there's no arguing with them.

My city's electric company pays something like 6% return on stock, I doubt they'd pay a lot for selling solar power back into their grid...

Skreli is a symptom, not the problem. Capitalism doesn't mix with healthcare.

Chinks. No seriously Steam is now populated by the Chinese and they're bringing their wallets.

one thing i definitely regret is not getting into this when it was dirt cheap.
could've been rich with zero effort.
also
>paying for videogames

And you're gonna earn less than nothing running a buttcoin solar mine.

I pay my ISP for the bandwith to torrent them.

>don't respond to the content of the post
>post retarded garbage instead

Capitalism is literally the only reason why healthcare is advancing.
Like 80% of all recent cures and medical techniques are from america because it's so profitable that companies can recover the R&D costs.

I torrent them and use my $2000 student loans I get every semester

You can't even mine bitcoin without owning a small building full of ASIC miners.

what about the smaller currencies

Yes, healthcare should be free. Doctors should work for free. Researchers should do their research for free. Resources should be dug from the ground for free and refined for free and shipped for free. Medical supplies should be free. Everything should just be free and no one should be able to earn a living doing it.
