I bought my first bitcoins on july 1st and the past 3 weeks have been a hell of a ride. After finding out about altcoins I quickly became interestend in their underlying concepts and was just hooked by gridcoin! So I tried to slightly open the door and have a look at grindcoin and boinc. I had no idea what I had myself gotten into... I joined a pool and my workstation is crunching 24/7 now. I already bought a new cpu fan, a silect computer case and I ordered an Odroid XU4 just yesterday (a new friend for my two Pi3s).
As you can imagine I had to do a lot of research online and bookmarked a lot of steemit-articles. I thought that maybe some other newcomers like me could profit from my bookmarks as well. In addition to that I really wanted to say hello to all the other crunchers out there :)
So here is my link-collection, loosly grouped up in categories:
