 Hey guys, MJ the student act tree, and I think I'm busy mining Bitcoin. So I've got two Accepted I don't know what that actually means I'll show you here. I'm busy mining using my GPU, which is the graphic processor and This is like the information that has been popping out How I did it was I downloaded something called Mac miner just followed the steps I guess I shouldn't be showing my password online Not the smartest thing to do, but anyway, I don't think I'm gonna be getting a lot of Bitcoin So I downloaded a mine onto the computer. I then joined a pool. You can check. I have one worker Running there it's very low because I mean I'm just using an old Mac to do this guys I've got dedicated hardware to do it Then if I come here Hopefully the the Bitcoin I make will So that's my little key that I then use to on this thing as you can see I actually don't know what I'm doing. I really don't know what I'm doing and I mean if we touch That is hot. That is that is very hot. I mean, I've just started this so Like I said, this was an old Mac. That's just sitting there. It is very slow so I thought hey, why not why not attempt to to mine some Bitcoin and You know, let's see how this goes there. You can see it's busy solving some stuff But oh no, I didn't get anything from that pool so or I don't know it does something with blocks and then you can see I've got two so far but two so far and But I've got nothing from this new one And job that's that's out here. So what I think I've got I've got the miner, which is this program here that then joins to The pool which is over here and then that will give me say some rewards. Oh These my rewards Well, no, I think these are just the the reward history for the pool in total Not for me Well, let's see You know, this is I think this is for me. No, it's not for me. I don't know like you like as you can see I don't know what I'm doing But as I understand I Will get something of a reward over here in the pool And then the pool will pay me back into my wallet over here And then so if you want to pay me Bitcoin just type that amount in and you can send me Bitcoin Not that you'd want to do that and then I can use that to purchase some other things on the internet So, yeah, that is a very short video on me attempting to To mine Bitcoin It's a lot of fun. Although I'll let it run overnight and I might probably turn it off to to save the poor computer But yeah, thanks for watching. Cheers Guys just a quick update I Found another one and look at that Look at that. That is my reward. I have successfully mined Like one millionth. I think of a Bitcoin which is worth less than Then the air I'm probably breathing But there it is it has been done. I cannot take this off the bucket list. I have successfully mined a Fraction of a Bitcoin Thanks for watching Hey guys, so this is day two or day three of the Bitcoin modeling. It's the second morning And let's see what is going on. Oh, wow. Look at this. So my worker station is at least not read this time That's all the activity What's interesting is this follows a cumulative distribution function. So as an actually we should be quite comfortable with what that means that's the amount of workers that are online and Okay, so what I have is I have 15 micro Bitcoin that I've got and Unconfirmed because what happens is you Accept certain blocks and you can see sometimes you reject because people double-spend or they do some stuff or stuff like that So we've accepted one of these blocks, but we're not sure if the rest of the network has accepted it And I mean if we just come here to rewards Yes, there was a bit of a bad day in the sense that It took 13 hours to do the one block and the next one took eight hours Okay, and it's just a hundred thirty minutes where you can see it. No, I mean that one only took 25 minutes So it is a little bit of a a lottery Top of system. There is this random element to it, which is quite exciting But even more exciting than this So what I'm doing here is I'm using my graphics card to To solve some stuff There's something else called Storch That's not Yeah, it's this thing and you use this thing called drive share and What you do is you earn a cryptocurrency by renting out your hard drive space so I Mean that sounds pretty cool and It looks pretty simple. I Try to start the program and it was a complete failure. I was going to get about 15 gigs Yeah, it kind of like just froze on me, so I need to still figure out how how to do that Because as you can see I've got a lot of free space on this device, so I'm actually performing much better Doing the storage thing then renting out my graphics card, which is on a very old device So having said that I think it's going to be Sad moment, but I think we are going to stop the mining process I mean like I said, this is this is yeah, it's hot. It's been doing this for for two and a half days, so Let's No So it was a fun little experiment But those are my my Bitcoin mining days over unless you've got dedicated hardware, you're not gonna you're not gonna be Rolling in the cash. I mean there are a whole bunch of other cryptocurrency that you can have a go at but I don't know maybe explore this one storage and Push up you rent out a thousand gigabytes. They say you could make $10 a month. That's not bad Not too bad at all. Anyway, thanks guys for watching. Cheers
