Bitcoin

I recently started bitcoin mining using my GeForce GTX 260. Some of my friends have invested thousands of dollars into bitcoin mining hardware and have already earned back more than they invested. Bitcoin mining seems to be the latest fad among CS students. Unfortunately my mining rate is pitifully slow, so I gave up after a few days. I earned 0.5 bitcoins in slush's pool. I held an auction for my 0.5 BTC on IRC and got payed $5 CAD for it.
