Back in my earliest days, a CPU could mine bitcoin (it was just a check/enable box in the preferences).
HODL, erryday, frens.
- cdchn 3y agoUnrealized gains are unrealized.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoAmen... I only vaguely recall something about a boating accident.
- px43 3y agoYeah I was mining hundreds of BTC per day on an Athlon 2200. That was the low kilohash era.
- bavell 3y agoI remember when the first GPU kernels came out... exciting times!
- chubbyFIREthrwy 3y agoI made my fortune by building a GPU miner in January 2011. Even by then, the best GPU for it was sold out so I bought 4 of the next best one. I shut it down in July of that year because it was raising my electric bill by like $100/month. Possibly the biggest financial mistake of my life.
