Unfortunately, the rate at which bitcoin is "mined" is very low and based entirely on your processing power. "<br /><br /><br />I believe the way it works is that they get even more rare and compute-intensive as bitcoins are mined. The limit, I think, is 21 million coins. And the last million are supposedly going to take 100 years to mine.<br /><br /><br />People who got into it early on could mine useful quantities with modest hardware. There have even been little USB dongles that will mine bitcoins for you... slowly... but they probably aren't worth using anymore.<br /><br /><br />Now you probably need souped-up special-purpose hardware with multiple GPUs running in parallel and such.Jon Hendrynoreply@blogger.com
