Any one else ever go back through their old emails / accounts? I’m so sad now.
Just went and dug through my old emails and what not.
Found my buys and sells in 2012.
Found where I purchased a virtual mining contract from PBMining and got scammed.. anyone else remember PBMining? He was popular on the forums for a bit. He paid for ads there.
Found two old exchanges I traded are that are bunk, C-Cex which is gone (scam phasing websites now replace them..).
I had some amount of tips on ChangeTips that I couldn’t access.
I sent Riot games an email about how they should put background mining in the game as an opt in for free skins in 2013!! Like look at this… this is painful to read..
I would like to suggest that you create a feature that mines in the background of games on low power, on players computers. I am NOT suggesting that you do this "secretly". I'm suggesting that you could make a feature that you can turn on or off, and maybe compensates players with a little bonus RP or IP, or any other ideas you may have. Now, to talk numbers. I currently have a HP laptop with a basic Radeon graphics card, and I can mine at about 43 MHS (mega-hashes/second) at full power. So I could easily play league and mine at 0-5 MHS without noticing any performance difference. Now lets say you have 2 million players online at anytime, and 1 Million opt to have the mining in the background during a game on, averaging at 1 MHS (which is basically nothing by itself), But, with 1 million players running it, that would give you 1 Terra hash/second mining power, which at current price (bitcoin/usd) and difficulty is about 13-14,000 dollars a month in your pocket, and extra IP, RP, or whatever incentive you offer to the players in return.
Why am I suggesting this? Well there are three main reasons. 1. As a part of the bitcoin community, I would like to see more exposure and more people learning about and using bitcoin, this would be a good opportunity for many people to learn about bitcoins and start using them. 2. I would be okay with you using this idea with no personal compensation to me, although I would hope if you did implement it, you would give me some sort of personal gain, or allow me to work with your company on this system. 3. As an avid player myself, I would enjoy the benefits of this system from a players perspective.
I'm just an 18 year old trying to make changes in the world, advocating for what I believe is a big part of the future. I am not with any company or anything, just a waiter at a local restaurant.
I tried and sort of successfully set up a bitcoin faucet at some point, still trying to see if there’s any scraps from that. I remember putting like $50 into the faucet.
I found me pumping some shit coin on the Bitcoin talk threads.
Found my eBay purchase of a USB miner for 17 bucks. I mined maybe $10 worth and flipped the miner back on eBay for $40ish.
All that goes to say that I basically have nothing left from it. I’m proud of where crypto got but because of life I wasn’t able to hold. It did help me get a car and a get my feet on the ground, but I completely missed the boat and am really struggling mentally with the day to day grind of life. Very nostalgic but also depressing.
