Post by: hotwired007 on June 17, 2013, 09:28:02 PM
i'm playing with the idea of setting up a mining pool in the UK - just playing with the idea atm -

I'm not trying to be rude or discouraging but most of the time you are not ready if you have to ask.

I think of mining as gambling.  So it's 100% fine in the UK, imho.

No rules. Just avoid the banks at all costs.  ;)
