I'm curious, does anyone else do this / bother with it?

etc.

From what I can gather it's some sort of virtual currency that can be 'traded' for real-world currency and is generated using CPU / GPU cycles.

From what I can see it's just a virtual currency that can be exchanged for goods (like gifts cards). No wonder the economy is collapsing -_-....

At first I was under the impression that this was a MC mod.But seriously, virtual money for real money?

EDIT: Ninja'd

Virtual money->real money exchange is nothing new you know...

37p in an hour, I'm gonna' be filthy rich.

Well, you cant really blame me. I have been living in a cave with wireless, so hum.

Tell me once you have received the real money, and I'll do it too

never seen that kind of thing... seems like it could be a scam somehow

Putting it to good use.

The way I see it.. They're paying for cloud computing, provided by the masses.

Only worth the effort if you have ATI cards, 5770+.

So.. I worked out that you can get around £30 a week if you left PC running 24/7..
10pcs = £300 a week. cost for each pc = £300

Get £3000 loan.
Build 10 £100 PC's (add £200 graphic cards to each one)
wait 10 weeks
break even
?????????
PROFIT

trol lol.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to spend only £300 on a mining rig though ;p.
