Ok so I've been getting into Bitcoin lately and I was finding out how to mine and get them. There are games and such but they're hard to win. I subscribed to this email and got 99 bits. But I want more bitcoins so how do I mine them? I saw this ButterflyLabs program with hardware on it.

OP, you're probably the first person I've EVER heard ask about Bitcoin mining! I can't believe you thought of such a thing, and so early on in the currency's lifetime as well!

You're a fucking idiot. What did you expect? No? No you don't need any special hardware to verify all of the bitcoin transactions ever made, and to solve an extremely computationally expensive cryptographic problem that means mining a block? There are whole fucking buildings dedicated to mining bitcoin. Why can't you Google?

I have googled. I've seen hardware that you plug into your PC to mine bitcoins. Butterfly labs "jalapeño" is a type of hardware. I've watched countless videos. No need to be sarcastic.

My friend, let me introduce you to the botnet.

Are there any coins which an Intel 3 processor can mine?

Is this thread a ruse?
