the hardware suppliers are the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

vancouver is the first city with a bit coin atm in the world. i guess this is where all the suckers are bred.

Instead of using 3dmark 2013, people run bitmark2013 LOL

[nature boy]

i don't get it, what's 3dmark?

[Wetundies]

a benchmarking program.

[geForce]

You run this benchmarking program in exchange for Bitcoins. That was a popular way to earn Bitcoins in the past, among some other seedy ways through the darkweb.

[supersuk]

I meant you run a benchmark to see how your machine will perform in mining bitcoins.

Different hardware have different instructionsets and optimizations which allow the bitcoin mining computations to compute faster.

Same with games, different hardware allow certain games to perform better. 3dmark was a popular benchmark program for gamers.

Instead of running that, the nerds run some bitcoin benchmarking program to let them how well their rig will perform.

I tried creating one, but ended up cracking my tooth instead

this is weird. but let's just say it's another missed opportunity haha.

anyone even get any bitcoins? sounds like they're doing pretty well (until they crash).

[Wetundies]

some dude threw away his hard drive with 7500 bitcoins.

[nature boy]

is that the one in the landfill or something? i remember reading a headline about bit coins in a landfill.

[Wetundies]

haha yup. he's trying to look for it, under 25,000 tons of garbage.

[nature boy]

haha pwnd

why did he even throw it away?
