I bought this hard drive in 2010, and three years later I got an ATI graphics card to mine Bitcoin at home—but gave up after less than a week. I remember many calculators on forums posting detailed analyses of electricity costs plus equipment depreciation, claiming mining was a losing proposition back then, when BTC was $95 per coin. Damn, only now do I realize those smart guys were using a covert strategy—discouraging everyone else from mining while they quietly piled in! I’ll head to the computer market later to repair the hard drive and recover my family photos. If I actually find any of my old mined coins, I won’t need to work hard anymore 😄
