I downloaded this weeks ago and forgot about it. It fires up and lets me mine without adding ETH to it..., does that mean it's going to stay at 0.00 forever?

Haha, yeah I forgot about it too until one of my music mates told me it's about to go down! Hmm, sounds like when/if your miner does solve a complex calculation, it won't be able to send it to the ETH network as you have no ETH to spend so it might stay at 0.00 KOIN. You need to have some ETH but I just chucked £20 at it to see what gives.
I found my computer started whirring up like it did 2 years ago when I used to use NiceHash to mine. The question is.. is it worth the extra electric charges.., I could start using NiceHash again, and get BTC... something that has value for sure.
Haha, yeah lots of whirring going on here. I'll probably do one more hash with KOIN then let my PC have a bit of a breather! I'd never turn down BTC myself but I don't know if it's possible to get that much BTC unless you have a full on warehouse full of PCs these days?
NiceHash worked in a way where it switched algo's to mine the best altcoin depending on your hardware. Then they traded the spoils for BTC, took a cut and gave you the rest. I fired it up this morning but would be loss making now as my VC's are too ancient!
Ah that sounds like a good concept actually but I guess only if you have newer pcs! My one is getting on 5 years old now after being gutted out with new processors and GPU a few years ago... Starting to show signs of frailty so may just see how it gets on and hope there's one more big hash to find, then I'll just give it a break (or buy a new processor lol)
It's all about the video cards, the PC can be any old junk. Mine is low end as I don't use it for gaming.. got a PS4 for that.
Haha yeah I have a GPU but I think the KOINOS miner only uses your CPU so you need to have a decent processor (unless you can somehow modify for it to run off the GPU).
Ah, Playstation man! I was heavy on the PS1 and PS2 then moved to Xbox as I thought the controllers were a bit more comfortable but not really played console for 6+ years. @acidyo will tell you it's all about the "PC Master Race" haha
