What was he mining ? Bitcoins ?i read this thread periodically, and still dont trust bitcoin. i have a coworker who has been swearing by it for over a year, setting up a mining rig and everything, and at last count he hasnt even made enough to recover the mining investment. im not saying this wont work, but im sure you die hards can see why the rest of us are skeptical of something that fluctuates so ridiculously.
