I'm going to assume if he's intending to mine bitcoin that he knows the ins and outs of the computer(s) he's going to use. I don't think that's an unreasonable assumption.

Now, if it were Marie, I'd be asking had she plugged it in? No offence, Marie, I'm sure you'd agree!

He's using an old computer he doesn't even know the specs of to mine cryptocurrency. That's not someone I make high assumptions of.

Batlord, look into it famo! Don't hate on my hustles! Here is the card I'm starting out, or something like it. Should earn $100-400 (depending on bitcoin or dogecoin price) but will earn satoshis. Most people said they started out how I did with one just going until they have 7-8. Mining other cryptos is also possible, but any card works mostly it's just how much it'll earn depends on the quality of GPU. Bet you got a beasty GPU just sitting there not earning satoshis! My crypto group dudes got whole operations going earning lots of money from electricity.

The easiest mining rig set up is Helium miners, (hotspots), those are plug in and connect to phone app. They are selling for thousands though.

Didn't Bitcoin just take a nosedive cause Elon Musk made a bad Tweet about it?

It dipped, because of many reasons but it's around $40k. I think what's "good" or "bad" for a crypto is based on where you bought at. Elon's tweets affect it but not at much as news events. I see Elon just seeing it rise 5% and jump on that with a tweet and it'll go up another 5%, thinking its a major run, then dips. Overall, it's looking good. Bitcoin needs to hit $42k a coin before we leave a downtrend. It just was at $41.5k this morning. So yes, it dosedived, but if you know things you made money from the dip..because it's on its way up again...

None taken, you're spot on: I thought my webcam was broken for weeks and then it turned out I accidentally activated the built-in cover. I discovered this when I accidentally uncovered it, after having been on the phone with IT for hours. When it comes to tech I am a boomer mom. At least I had the excuse of being off-camera in meetings for a while

Maybe it dipped a little bit from Elon, but China banning crypto was a way bigger deal. And yea, it dipped to like 25k or so but back to 40 now. It's definitely volatile as hell. Has been that way for years.

I was sure he gave the specs but it must be in another thread. I remember asking him about the CPU.

Jesus Christ this is the most boring thing I have read in weeks, and I'm reading about the processes that go on inside the Sun! God I hate ****ing bitcoin. One day it will be revealed it was all some big scam started by that Nigerian prince.

Hilarious! I can go one slightly better. I spent hours with my mate on the phone, trying to figure out why my PC suddenly had no sound. We went though all sorts of adjustments of the parameters of the soundcard, and it turned out I HAD NOT TURNED MY AMP ON! Man was I embarrassed!
