    Bitcoin mining

    I'm surprised this hasn't piqued the interest of anyone here, using high end GPU's to mine blocks, after all each block is "worth" about $5000.

    There's Bitcoins in them there GPU's!!!

    Yee ha!!

    The average block takes about a year to process

        As it gets harder to mine them, the price will surely rise!

        I'm a Bitcoin billionaire in the making!

            It's got all the geek ingredients.

            High end cryptography, homebrew number crunching rigs, money making, hacking and security, somewhat shady....

              Just for a bit of fun I started mining them a year ago. I mentioned Bitcoin on this forum and there was no interest at the time. It is only after publicity that people show interest
