Hey Kenny,
I've been meaning to read this post since you put it up a week ago and I've just had time to now; I'm so glad I did! That's so cool that you were a Youtube early adopter as well and I'm glad you're feeling the same vibes as back in '05 :-)
I'm going to read over that @pfunk article again, I kind of glazed over the first time, but you've inspired me to try again; I don't know if 6000 hashes a second is good, but it sounds good and I want to try. :-)
Thanks for posting
CG, thanks for reading my intro! I've been here over a week now and still excited!
Actually 6k hashes per second is rather weak. But I'm still glad I tried it and was able to attempt to mine successfully. I may try it again, as it seems that everyone has a chance to be able to mine Steem if you run the mining program long enough. My electric bill is already up due to the AC being on all the time now, but maybe I'll mine in the Winter and use my computer to heat my room! If you have any questions as you try to mine, just ask and I'll see if I can help. There is a Slack channel for mining too, at https://steem.slack.com/messages/mining/details/ Good Luck!
