for those of you that dunno what bitcoins are... wiki it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

for those of you that do... do you guys mine it?

i started to mine it today (proportionally) and i use two gtx 260's... kinda slow.

I mine it at about 2bitcoins per month. (roughly 30USD)

i switched to pay per share, and im waiting to see if i get more out of that.

anyways, my vid cards are running at full speed and radiating mega heat lol.

i know guys that are mining almost 1 bitcoin per day!!! that's just over 500USD per month (at current rate), fuckin crazy.

here's the conversion/market rate for it
http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

as of right now it's just under 17USD per bitcoin. it seems like it might be worth it to upgrade my cards to something that can mine about 1btc per day, get back the money in 2.5-3.5 months tops.

of course electricity bill might be a problem. Ive read reports of cops showing up at peoples doors with warrants cuz they think they're growing pot, but they're really just running a buncha mining computers.

anyways tell me what you guys think, or if there are any miners on rs, what's your setup? what's your advice?
