i am still obviously figuring this out

its so funny to see how its gone from obscurity to everyone knows what they are. My ex bf is mining them...hopefully their worth will go back up soon. He's used it to order stuff but he doesn't know what quality it is.

Um not if you don't understand where they come from...

It's a gamble and be prepared to do a lot of work just to recoup your investment. IMO, not worth it, especially if you don't have decent hardware already.

seems like this was over a while ago

^it's in the interest of the miners to prevent additional clients from connecting to mine. The system releases something like 1 bitcoin per 10 minute interval. To control that flow the network adjusts difficulty for "locating a bitcoin".

So if every joker with a computer joined up (assuming everyone had equal processing power) it would become proportionally harder to find a coin. So we tell everyone it sucks so they'll peace out and we can get back to finding lots of coins.

However this would also change the value of a coin in relation to the dollar, so the question is whether it would come out in the wash.

The only real market that justifies Bitcoin's existance -- Drugs.

Wait until the dollar collapses under your feet... then you'll have a change of opinion.
