I think there is room at the table with BTC for other coins, just as there are many currencies throughtout the world.

oh except for that new americanised version called ripple....has to be american based on IOU's and debt....oh dear ....they'll prolly soon have 10times more IOU's in bitcoin then will ever be produced....just like they do with their GDP

Suggestions?

I just started today and I am using Guiminer and I joined a pool called BTC Guild.  I am just using a laptop that I use for gaming with a GeForce 445m graphics card.  I can tell this is worthless as it takes hours to get .0000001 BTC. On one of the guild pages it shows who got the most share for each shift and I get 2-10 while others get millions.  How do they do it, and what, if anything can I do to increase my output to actually get something someday.  I was also wondering what people thought of the $279 5Gh/s box from butterfly labs.  How long after you order do you get it and is it worth it?  At current prices, you only need 3 bitcoins to make back your money.

I guess my question is....how do you do this effectively, or am I just late to the party and there is nothing left to do?

Thanks
