My gateway into mining

in #mining7 years ago (edited)

I recently got into BitCoin hype after hearing the news on mainstream media of how BitCoin was worth $2100 and a person who bought and forgot about the 37 bitcoins now worth hundreds of thousands of dollar .

I started looking into blockchain and the technology behind it. Being a software developer I felt at home.
I have been looking for a way to store the little bit of money I have in a place where I cannot be locked out of.
Looked into Gold and silver backed accounts but I couldn't really trust them.

There started my journey into the bitcoin world.
I will be posting my research findings and my actions on steemit.
stay tuned.

Here is an article on my experience with PIVX

Cant wait to see of a more update from you. I too started noticing cryptocurrency few weeks ago. I first get into genesis mining which i find may not be optimal way of getting coins then i explore about mining. But now there is no gpu anywhere.

Hello there, thanks for you interest. I would be more inclined to mine with own hardware. I rather buy the coin than buying hashing power. Take the middle man out. that's what the blockchain is all about ;)

Keep me posted friend. I've been looking into mining something profitable.

Thank you very much for the encouragement. Just posted an article on PIVX
