Can someone enlighten me on how this works? I heard you can make some extra cash with it.
I would like to try it out, I see it similar to SETI or folding@home.
So whats the deal?
 
I can't even call you lazy, since starting this post certainly took more effort than simply googling "bitcoin". Why you posted it in the AMD Processor is terribly vexing to me.

it took you just as much energy to be a smart ass as it would have to google it anyways.

Why not? Wikipedia is a good source of information, those that say otherwise are ignorant. Plus, Wikipedia has sources, so you can just click those links to verify the information.

Also, large projects tend to set up things called "wikis," which is not affiliated with Wikipedia. But like Wikipedia, it's intended to be a source of information maintained by the community.

Anyways, if you're serious about learning, I would point you to the Distributed Computing section. That's where things like this belong. If you used the forum search feature, you certainly would have found a bunch of information on it.

So what if wikipedia has sources....
Plently of "sources" say the holocaust didnt happen, does that mean they are credible?
Wikipedia is the biggest load of brainwashing crap ever.
Take for example Slobodan Milosevich and the whole yugoslavia conflict. Its pure bs what wiki has to say. Milosevich did NOT commit mass genocide like wiki and mass media will tell you. It was NATO funded taliban fighters killing pro serbian muslims. Wasnt serbians that killed them. But yet again keep on listening to mass media.
 
lol how did this thread go from bitcoin > wikipedia > talking about history?
 
Hi OP, I played around with Bitcoin a while back and wrote/contributed to a couple of articles on the subject.

Living With Software: The Bitcoin Experiment and the Bitcoin Experiment Setup on my blog. I also contributed to these Bitcoin articles for PC Perspective:

GPU Mining Performance Comparison (note that the value of BTC has gone down since this article was published).
and
Bitcoin and Electricity Usage

I hope it helps. I'd also recommend checking out the Bitcoin discussion thread in [H]'s Distributed Computing forum section.

EDIT: Here's the [H] thread on BTC http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1618203

/facepalm

Glad to see that that's all you got out of my post.

Take your conspiracy theories and get the hell out of here. This is a computer forum, not a conspiracy site.
