Crypto Coin Mining

Anyone else do much (any) mining of Bitcoins or the various altcoins? Since I thought it was hilarious starting up, I've been mining dogecoins for a while on my home pc GPU.
No point in regular people mining Bitcoins anymore thanks to ASICs. Litecoins will probably go that way soon too.

i thought about it but  idk

Mainly just doing it for kicks now. Dogecoins are pretty popular and easy to mine still (my 560ti alone pulls in about 2000 coins daily while I'm at work). If something happens and bitcoin crashes, some coin will replace it. That would probably be the Litecoin. Then another coin would take Litecoins current place. If that happens to be dogecoins this guy makes out like a bandit.

If not, no loss. Just the initial setup time, no investment needed.

Ive used those to pay for my last 3 contract killings.

Never heard of this before.

I thought about getting into bitcoin mining but I would need one of those special machines to do it GPUs just dont cut it anymore.

If you mine alt coins any CPU/GPU will do just fine. The idea in mining alt's is that either bitcoin will continue to rise, as will alt values, or (optimally) bitcoin will crash and one of the alts will take its place. Basically, if you don't pay for your power bill/usage it's a free way to potentially make some $.

Considered it but the chance to make any decent money is gone.

Tigerdirect accepts bitcoins now fyi
