Bitcoin miners

[ColdDog]

Hey folks,
How is bitcoin mining going? Just curious... has the fad passed yet or is still a big deal? Was 13k now down to 7k (I think the lowest was around 3k)... Is this a done idea/fad or is the normal market just a better place to make money right now?

I didn't do it myself but from what I understand the encryption for BC went beyond the point of viability for a home setup a few years back, as in it would take more electricity and setup cost than it would recoup in a realistic amount of time.

Someone's new business plan in action. You seriously don't want to use the same password everywhere. If you do, one silly mistake by a website you use once every few years could undo all your security.
