how long does it take to mine a bitcoin

[WINTERLORD]

I figured out through reading there worth bout 850bucks right now, but I was wondering how long would it take to mine a bit coin on a core i7 920 and a radeon 280xgpu? will be upgrading soon and my cpu could possably be going in a new spare computer

I would not recommend going solo, but rather work in conjunction with a mining pool. At which point the rate at which you obtain bit coins is dependent upon the size and capability of the pool you are in.

how would I find a reputable bitcoin pool? also is cpu or gpu mining wich is more valuable

 

[SirSub42]

GPU is by far the leading method. This link and this link will give you a pretty good list of pools to choose from. I would say the popular ones should be considered reputable.

A very, very long time. Bitcoin mining is done primarily by ASICs design solely for mining bitcoins. You won't be able to profit from it by using traditional computer hardware including CPUs and GPUs.

Mining is just a pyramid scam. Those who get in early get rich if and only if they can find a sucker to purchase the coins from them.
