Have been dicking about with mining on a 2012 Macbook pro. Did one day using using RPCminer got 60 shares, then last night went to bed after setting up diablominer. Got 830 shares overnight at an average rate of 74MHASH.

Bitcoin offers an alternative to the conventional, state-sanctioned banking system. Maybe that's why powerful institutions are so wary of it - Guardian

Malware attack via skype to harvest bitcoins underway, spreading fast. If your skype is playing up, maybe you're making someone somewhere some money by mining for bitcoins on their behalf.

it's the equivalent of reading something in the paper about how many people do a certain thing and that means X and thinking "oh fuck that means me too" and then remembering "oh no, I'm not stupid enough to be stopped by someone with a clipboard in the street".

That's how greenpeace got me, but i was very hungover and in no fit state to just keep walking.

Is there any safe way you can somehow get free btc's on the web?

There are, or were a couple of sites that gave a small amount away for free. Not sure if they are still running.
Google bitcoin faucet

 

[panpete]

Hi, thanks, I just checked faucet and its closed for now but I will go back on when its open.

It's going to be a bouncy ride uphill this week. Anyone wanting a discount buyin should wait for the mid week gox ddos flash crash.

There's this...

Rewards are shown in Mini-Bitcoins (0.0001 Bitcoins)

indeed, but to be fair it seemed harsh back when you could get 10 of the things from the faucet.

seems a bit pointless unless they shoot up radically after significant work on bitcoin faucet

 

[bi0boy]

I earnt 8.8 μbitcoins from bitvisitor.com

That's 0.0000088 bitcoins, and it took me five minutes.

Useful to get my first transaction though and check everything is working

Someone just bought half a million dollars worth on gox and sent the price over $200...

 

[mack]

I bought a tenners worth of coin before xmas to purchase a sub at NzbRus - that cost £8.00 ish so the the £2 I had left are now worth £29.28

 

[ExtraRefined]

Here's a fun fact; if you'd bought £100 in Bitcoins (400 BTC) when Camoflauge first mentioned them back in December 2010, they'd be worth £53,000 today.

Updated for today's price.

 

[ffsear]

Sickening! - I have been following bitcoin for 3 weeks now and price has gone from $70 to $200

 

[Idaho]

And it's going to go up much further before it comes down.

 

[joustmaster]

And it's going to go up much further before it comes down.

maybe!

 

[ffsear]

As long as the press keep talking it up it will

 

[Idaho]

maybe!

Maybe indeed!

I think some people on this thread have asked about selling coins. I've just sold one of my coins through this site - http://www.bitcoinfridge.co.uk/index.html

It was very quick. I also got a personal service from one person (it's not a 'market') so probably easier than most sites, and possibly less risky.
