    DimPrawn's stupid idea of the month

    Mining BitCoins

    However, cost of the energy outways the profit.

    Solar panels, heavily subsidised in the name of Global Warming, mean free electricity.

    So turn sunny days into cash.

            Is it not the case a finite amount of BC exist? And that they only need to be found?

            Isn't the whole BC mining malarky just not an x-prize for the first commercial quantum computer? Will mining not become obsolete on that day?

                50% off peak and massive problems in the markets with MtGox, not a great time to start... Still, at least you haven't been doing it for years and seen all the currency you thought you had disappear

                What hardware did you get?

                  At the moment a turbine would be better than a solar panel.
