    I'd better sell ASAP! All of the 0.0003 BTC I've been able to mine in the past month! ;) And I've only just ordered my new mining rig: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a /Bagger-garzweiler.jpg [wikimedia.org]

    Nah, you don't need that-- evidently ASICs are the way to go these days.

    I got mine [wikipedia.org] but they haven't paid off much yet!
