 About mining Bitcoins (the deep web currency) 
#15699140 - 01/21/12 07:05 PM (4 months, 5 days ago) |

So I've been browsing through the deep web for a long time now, using Tor. If one wants to buy something on one of those sites, he needs bitcoins, since that's the currency they use on Tor. I have the latest Bitcoin client installed and I have a label with an address to receive bitcoins.
I've looked into mining bitcoins, but you need a graphics card and OS that supports OpenCL for each bitcoin mining software I have encountered so far. Problem is, my laptop has a dual core CPU, an Intel GMA X3100 graphics card and my OS is Windows XP. As far as I know, my laptop does not support OpenCL. Therefore, I always get an error when I try to mine bitcoins with mining software...
So my question is: is there a solution to this problem? Is there a software fix or something like that to be able to mine bitcoins?
Or are there other ways to get my hands on some bitcoins? Additional information on the deep web, Tor and/or bitcoins is always welcome!
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Zorro

you would be better off gettin a mining rig( computer with ridiculous GPU's) a laptop is horrible to mine on and most desktops arent any good unless they are meant for gaming.

Can someone explain how this mining bitcoins works! I read about it but it was very technical and confusing. I just found out about the deep web and although it is very interesting it is one of the scariest things i've seen since Hiroshima

You're absolutely right about that, but that would cost me a lot of money. Money I don't have at the moment. Maybe I should start selling my 80mg OxyContin (they are the old formula, so they would be worth a lot), I have lots of them, but I need them for my back injury. Also, it would be highly illegal...
Isn't there any way to get bitcoins without mining them or selling stuff?

I don't understand why you would want to go on the deep web? Are you a hacker or something?

> I don't even know what the deep web is
It is basically the "frontier" of the web, residing outside of the law. It is the technological answer to regulation and censorship.
> now I want to go there.
Install TOR and TorButton. Once you are on the TOR network, look for the small onion logo near the address bar of your browser. Click that. Welcome to the dark underbelly of the web. Most web sites will end in ".onion" rather than ".com". There are no search engines and most of the site names are difficult to remember. Bookmarks are your friend. The SilkRoad Marketplace (http:// http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion) is probably a good place to start.
Be careful. There is a lot of child porn that you can get without meaning to. When it comes to child porn, I'm not sure how much the state cares about mens rea. Be sure you flush your browser cache, clear your page file, etc, when you get done browsing.

You'd only make a profit off of bitcoin mining if you had started doing it years ago. The profit from running a system with crossfire 6990's is pretty much not worth it. Even after downclocking VRAM, the power consumption from the GPU usage is more expensive than the bitcoin return.
The CPU is completely useless in mining bitcoins. You don't need to use Tor to look up bitcoin info, and it will only slow you down to do so. There are plenty of calculators/massive tables of data showing hardware/software/flags used and the MHash/sec as well as profit over a defined period of time(or losses).

There are plenty of places to buy bitcoins, or exchange US dollars for bitcoins.
Exchanges:
Mt. Gox
TradeHill
GetBitcoin
For the current value of Bitcoins vs other currencies:
bitcoincharts.com
Online trading:
bitcoin-otc.com
Hell, you can even buy them at eBay.

Due to the fact that I'm posting it on a website where drugs are being discussed, what do you think I would like to purchase with my bitcoins?
Hint: It is NOT child porn or an assassin.
Since I don't have any reliable sources to buy H. on the regular web, I've decided to give the deep web a try.

I also asked for other ways to obtain bitcoins, I know you're right about the fact that it wouldn't be effective to mine bitcoins if you have to pay for your electricity yourself.
However, from monday to friday I live with my girlfriend. She pays each month the same amount for her electricity (so mining some coins with a cheap laptop wouldn't do any harm). She rents a studio and has all costs covered pretty well. In the weekends, I live with my parents (my girlfriend as well, since she doesn't have any contact with her fascist family anymore) where I have my desktop computer. I could leave it running all week long, mining bitcoins. At the end, it are my parents that pay the bill.
So if someone could provide me with some more information on obtaining bitcoins, please let me know. If anyone would know of a really good way of obtaining some, I'll even transfer some to your account (if you have one, that is).
Thanks to everyone who has replied so far!

mtgox is what I'd use to get bitcoins. If you are already on a site that uses them(like SR), then you can go through a broker and buy a MoneyPak card which they'll take a small fee/% and immediately transfer BTC's to you.
If you have an nVidia card, or cards, they perform poorly at mining due to their architecture. AMD cards are able to do the math required in one cycle, or something of that nature.

lol. Sometimes bad things happen in dark allies but you wont find me scared to go down one cause I'm not scared of the dark. Sure there are hitmen/drug dealers/pedos/etc.... on a place where you can remain anonymous who wouldn't expect such things, but that isnt all there is. There is a whole bunch of normal crap and fun places to go.

If you could provide me some links of 'normal crap' and 'fun places', please send me a PM. If you have weird/creepy/dark/illegal stuff, please send me a PM as well (I'm not interested in child porn, so don't send me such link please).
Thanks (and five shrooms) in advance!

be warned the deep web is sketch! I browsed seemingly retarded websites almost the same way you would observe a car accident on the freeway just out of pure amusement! I visited the silk road and some of those hire assassin websites that are almost like comedic magazines. I just recently had my information stolen from my computer and someone used this to purchase 5 gift cards for 20$ a piece via itunes! it happened days after visiting the deep web and I didn't once go on a website that was porn or "hacker" type shit so be warned I think browsing anonymously opens your computer up to millions of desperate nerdy hackers that will do anything for money!!!
