now for the serious part ... and i guess i am not the only interested in this:
- what equipment do you need to generate bitcoins (roughly said: is a 2006 laptop good enuff or do you need 2012 state-of-the-art desktop)
- are there different sites to generate bitcoins ?
- do i have some kind of online-bitcoin-account ?
- if so, this online account would be kinda equal to my neteller/moneybookers/wateva account which i use (americans: used) to deposit/withdraw from stars/ftp/etc?
thx for your help
Any computer technically can, but you are going to need a good graphics card, and even then, the cost of generating is often times > than the costs of the coins you generate
There are no sites you generate Bitcoins with.
You can, but they are almost all jokes and some have just lost the coins or stole them.
Yes, such things do exist (or at least used to when I actually cared enough about Bitcoins). They are about the equivalent of a 13 year old girl's geocities page in 1995 quality. The better solution is to just keep your wallet on your own computer, then send direct. The only downside of this is if your computer crashes and you don't back up your wallet. Or someone steals your wallet and you are SOL.
Basically, if you don't know wtf you are doing, you are going to get raped.
