Bitcoins. Ive been seeing this all over /g/ about how people are mining/buying these things, and selling them for actual monetary gain. But Im quite confused about this whole deal. From what I understand from reading the website and parts of the wiki is his:
Run program that apparently aimlessly brute forces hashes all day.
Once one gets computered, 50 bitcoins are given.
These bitcoins are stored in a file on your computer (?)
You can than either use these coins as currency on some sketchy geosite looking online stores, or sell them for money through paypal or something.
Repeat for monies.
As a firm believer of "If it seems to be too good to be true, it is" I wonder exactly how this is supposed to work. I leave my computer on 24/7 and if you mean to tell me I can set it to mindlessly do math problems during the night to generate fake currency that can be sold for real money, then by all means Ill get to work on it now. I just have a feeling Im missing something.
