Haha i fully understand and I highly appreciate you telling me to be cautious

just to make sure I understand that thats 5 grid coins of a specific type that is ~4.11 not an actually 5,000 ~4.11 cause that would be sad lol

That being said once I get back home to the states ill probably make a rig for myself and start mining then work on PR for GridCoin (marketing major) and try to get more people to sway towards us to help our investment

BUT i'm gonna look into a little further obviously to decide if its what I want

No, it is in fact 5000 gridcoin for the 4.11 US dollars.

When you calculate the mining income, it's several orders of magnitude better than Bitcoin. Even 2 years ago, when Bitcoin prices were lower and it was easier to mine you couldn't mine nearly anything worth much, unless you had an ASIC or a top-end GPU. Also, I did miscalculate. I earned almost 9000 gridcoin, at the time of making the previous post I was upgrading the Gridcoin wallet software and syncing my blockchain, not all of my transactions were synced yet. Simple calculation reveals that this equals roughly 7.39 US dollars.

I own a relatively weak PC, so having mined that much just with idle CPU and GPU cycles is pretty amazing. I have a 4 core CPU at 3.6GHz (I always have one demanding application running, so pretty much 3), and a quite old nVidia graphics card.
