Personal computers are at risk
Bitcoin mining in the home using a personal computer or desktop is a common activity on the Internet, and regardless of the different challenges faced by the operators of these activities there are two terrifying consequences for using PC or desktop in this activity.

Mining equipment is undoubtedly the best and is specialized in carrying out this task, unlike the computer hardware, which, despite its mining capacity, does not manifest itself.

We have no doubt that what you will read in this article is convincing to quit using PC and avoid being in a disaster you need.

Bitcoin mining threatens to destroy your personal computer

Bitcoin mining is a complex process that not only opens a program and leaves the device running for long periods of time, perhaps 24 hours on 24 hours. The programs used are millions of calculations that consume your computer resources including random memory, processor and graphics processor.

One decoding process contains 25 home processes requiring strong resources up to 1 Terra HASH, while the most powerful computers do not reach this power.

What you do simply is wasting time and torturing your computer, and the end is inevitable. It crashes your computer and stops it from working, which can cause other losses for you, including loss of data stored on the device, the cost of repair or purchase of a new computer.

The problem is that the mining process is becoming more complex over time and with increasing competition you will notice that the results you are harvesting are meager and the cost of electricity will be lost.

Surely you do not want your computer to be destroyed or to pay the expensive electricity bills without real material gain, so forget this idea.

Rape viruses adore computers used in mining

Many mining programs, Bitcoin sites and digital currencies are downloading malicious software on your computer. We do not mean official sites and companies with high credibility but many fake websites that claim to give you the advantage of getting these currencies.

Viruses targeting computers used in mining are ransom-type, but do not request a physical amount directly or encrypt your files.

All you do is that you are mining secretly in your computer and this in the background without knowing, and do not aim to harm your computer, but use the times of your use of mining and make money on your account.

Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Linkup, which changes the DNS address of your device and converts your device into a mining robot.

These viruses are designed to infect thousands of computers, which collect their revenues and the pirates get good returns.

The dangerous side of these viruses is that they work at mining as hard as possible, which will expose your device to damage quickly, if you do not eliminate it and continue to work in your device without your knowledge.

End of article:

In any case, doing digital coin mining, especially Bitcoin using your personal computer, is the worst folly you can do these days.

Sort:  

Yes of course. Never use your personal computer for bitcoin mining. The reason for that is nicely described in the above article.

thanks for sharing, makes me think twice

Great read! Thabks for this info. I was aware viruses like to look for mining rigs, but it seems very plausible! Any advice on building a mining rig/server? That could be an idea for your next post. Subbed.

I posted an article in the name Bitcoin mining at home is profitable using one device and in one case Go and read it
Go and read it

can you post a link to that article here?

Thanks for the advice, it saved my computer.
