Topic: Joining the Trend - Mining/Trading (Read 77 times)

Hello to all of you out there on the bitcoin talk forums,

This will be my first post (couldn't find a welcome section but this place seemed fitting).

I have begun my journey of learning about cryptocurrencies and what can be gained from them, and I have been directed to this message board by a family member, from my reading so far it seems like there is a lot of great knowledgeable minds on here.

I have been mining for about a week now using minergate (probably my first rookie error) mining Monero but I've mined almost 0.005 so I can withdraw soon, I am mining with a GTX 670 that I already had and a 7870 that I picked up for $50 locally, normally this would be useless but I do not pay for electricity where I am staying as a university student.

I have heard about people with hardware like me mining cryptos as they first pop up when they actually can before they hit the market, this sounds like a good thing to me but I am wondering where would I find these and what are the kind of things I should look out for when choosing them?

I have discord, if anyone has channels or groups I should join let me know.

Overall I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to the community, my goal is to mine and then begin trading with what I have mined. Any advice is appreciated and I will listen... I am a beginner afterall!

Cheers-
