Hi all,

What are your thoughts on bitcoin mining? When I first heard about it, I thought it sounded pretty cool. Almost like creating money out of thin air.

But as I researched it some more it sounded sort of complicated. You had to build or buy special rigs that cost a minimum of several hundred dollars, all the way up to several thousand dollars. And because it constantly gets harder and harder to mine, sometimes by the time you break even on the hardware costs it's almost obsolete and time to upgrade.

Does anyone actually know of somebody that has made money mining without spending thousands of dollars and being a hardware tech expert?
