Bitcoins: Are they worth the power?

Open

I found two games very cheap in one site, except that i can't use my credit card there, for some reason, so i started mining bitcoins, did research, downloaded some stuff and i am 5 or 4 hours into the setup, the thing is, the generation from my pc and phone combined are too low, so low that i'm afraid that the eletricity bill will raise the same amount of money that i generate, so, anyone got experience to advise me better?

You won't get anything with normal desktop. You need ASICs to mine bitcoin and need to join a pool. Mining isn't just for regular setup anymore, you need to get hardcore.

Probably easier to just buy the amount of bitcoin you need, or try to get said games somewhere else.

Actually you're still losing, due to durability of the GPU. Even if you make a few dollars in month, your GPU won't last long enough to pay for itself, not to mention make profit. And I'm pretty sure people bought their GPUs for something other than wasting them on mining digital currency.
