#UPFUNDME-IT'S SCHOOL SEASON AND MY HARDRIVE IS FAILING +first btc exposure storytime

in #upfundme6 years ago (edited)

I'm a Grade 12 student at Kisay and I really need a new hard drive. My current pc has been running for almost 6 years straight so it's no surprise that this geezer has problems. BSODs are frequent and I can't download something without disk write errors.

I haven't replaced my pc yet because; I don't have money, and my motherboard hasn't failed me yet. As long as this pc boots with a healthy hard drive installed and its able to run apps that are necessary for my studies, I shall not replace it.

The reason that I reached out to you guys is because I know steemit can be able to help anyone reach their goals. And my mom is pretty strict of breaking expensive things, so yeah. (and also $BKX went down in price by alot [plus other cryptos have mediocre prices compared to last year😞])

here's the HDD that I'd like to purchase

The WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD

It's currently worth 2200 PHP = 42 USD = 27SBD

If you're interested about my pc's specs here it is

Intel Core i7-3770k
Nvidia GTX 660 (palit)
Intel H77 mobo
generic ram @?mhz (probably trancend)
Thermaltake 700w psu (not rated by ecova)
and the faulty 1tb Seagate hdd

the portable fan aids in cooling the gpu because the gpu's fan isn't running anymore 😞

And i'll tell you guys a very interesting story about how I first got exposed to cryptocurrencies and probably how my gpu broke.

I was just a normal kid who wanted to buy a console myself because I never really had one back then. So I conspired my younger brother to search how to get free money, then we came across mining. We never really knew what it, we only knew it's free money (we never counted the fact that we use electricity, I was like 12 y/o at the time). We found steps how to run one and if my memory was correct, we used nicehash when the UI was still pretty shit compared to it's more modern look today. And the pc hilariously crashed half a minute into mining bitcoin. Instinctively, we discontinued this because my mom bought the pc, not us, and we knew we cannot replace this pc.

Whenever I remember this I keep on laughing at myself thinking, what if we actually mined a crap ton of bitcoins in a span of less than a minute? Because we never really looked back at the wallet. We could've been swimming in a pool of consoles today.

hmmm, Could haves, Should haves, Would haves
