If you're wondering, I did some research into bitcoin, just out of curiosity. I was wondering if there's a way to turn it into real cash, & if so, I might consider running a program in the background to mine some while my PC was idle.
Turns out it's not that simple, it involves putting a lot of personal info out there at a bitcoin currency exchange, & to get real cash, you have to have someone buy your coins, also giving them a lot of info & basically hoping that they come through on their side.
Also, mining involves a lot of computing power as well as dedicated resources, so much that you'll probably see an increase in your electric bills. And exchange rates are high, most of the time higher then the transaction itself.
So there you go, I did the research & it doesn't sound like anything I would like to try.
