Yea my current settup is junk so that's probably not an option for me

Oh well, I was really just curious about it

It's basically a piece of hardware finishing a math problem and sending in the answer.


The best way to do it is with multi GPUs since GPUs solve problems faster than CPUs.

Like someone already said it's really not worth it anymore. You'd need like 30 decent to high end graphics cards all running at the same time "mining" to even start making a profit. Most of the money you make is going to go towards your electricity bill. So 27 of your cards will make you enough money to pay for the electricity you are using to run all your GPUs while the other three are you you profit of like $0.70 an hour.

Jesus lmao, that's insane. I'm assuming it's not possible to manually do the math problems at a much slower pace in your spare time to grind some extra cash?

Greece uses bit coins as currency

That certainly answered any questions I had, ty lol

No, even using a crappy gpu to do it, you'd have alot better chances playing mega millions, rather than solve and get the bitcoins before someone else did

After reading the link you posted I understand what it is now and why I would need a much more advanced computer set up to actually make money on it

tru
