I know, it's so damned hard to get 'em through the hoops.Quote:

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I love playing basketball, I just can't bear to watch it.
I'm pretty much the same way. Highlights from basketball are probably the worst highlights of any professional sport. Curling highlights are better. In a basketball highlight you see...a bunch of people making shots that look pretty much like any other shot in the game. One team goes on a run, the other team goes on a run, none of it really matters because baskets are so very easy to come by that the whole first half barely matters to the outcome of the game.
The fans? Try using fans with smaller blades, it makes it easier.Quote:

How you doing? I remember a thread back in 2015ish when you were talking about setting up a bitcoin miner, did you ever get involved? Please tell me you did!
I am glad that someone remembers that I was planning to do that. No one ever believes those stories. "I was going to do it..."Quote:

But yeah, I remember you talking about setting one up. I remember looking at bitcoin because of your thread and thinking "I want to get in on this", then spent about 5 minutes realizing I had no idea what I was doing and then just gave up. I really wish I didn't now lol
The reason I didn't go through with buying a miner was the fact that these people were selling the miners for profit vs keeping the miners for themselves to mine bitcoin. With that logic I kind of assumed there would be no money to make in mining bitcoin.
Also just got my first job as a software engineer :afrog:
Only took (looks at when I joined vbf) 16 years.
Nice! What type of work will you be doing?
Web development. Sticking to the good ol PHP! And getting to work entirely from home. Will be a 10/10 experience.Quote:

Congratulations!
I really like PHP work. I mostly do MVC.NET (C#) during my day job, but I do PHP for my contract jobs.
That's the way it always goes with goldrush mining: The miners don't make as much as the storekeepers that sell to the miners.Quote:

Bitcoin's been rebounding. Right now it's up at ~$40,600 but still down from it's all time high.
Yeah I am pretty stoked. I have been doing PHP since about the time I joined here. I think I may have gotten the PHP subforum created. Its 2x my current salary and I will get to work remote. So its great.Quote:
