Sounds like our good old MilkMan95 (or whatever his name was) to me..

Be careful, some of his verbiage isn't native to america. Second, cant even use spell check when he is so high tech. Smells of a scam, just cant see the end game yet.

     Hello let me first say my real name is Jason, I am a 16 year student who is currently in 10th grade. I am a current resident of the United States. I first got into BitCoin around Dec 4-5 2011, when I first learned about BitCoin I was very skeptical and even with what I would consider a high intelligence for my age bracket, I was astonished that someone could basically solve the worlds finical problems with this. For about the first month I did loads of reaurch and studding, being the type of person I am, I love learning and wanted to know everything their was to know about BitCoin (I still don't know everything ). I was stupid and never made a BitCoin forum account. I soon got the current BitCoin client, and was amazed at the complexity of such program. Anywho, following Christmas of 2011 I finally got up the confidence to send $10 through Dwolla then to Mt.Gox which is from I know at the time to be the best, which in my opinion and many others still is the best. On December 31, 2011 me and my dad had been for about a year been talking about building a gaming computer, so I mentioned to him that we could do it and then we should put a very nice graphics card into it so that when its not in use we can mine "bitcoins" which confused my dad a little so I did my best to explain the whole Bitcoin thing to him. We ordered that computer and received parts the next weekend, at first we were so excited and we started one night around 6pm, we ended at 2am when a mother board was on fire, yes on fire We were able to return many parts and the company gave us a partial refund even when they knew we had caught it on fire. That ended my dream of being a BitCoin miner. Around such time I heard about a company called "Butterfly Labs" but among the community there was strong distrust with said company. Between the months of January to April, I sent a total of about $1,500 which let me say was hard earned money, including mowing lawns for cheap prices. My dad ask me why I choose to invest in what he calls "BitCoin" instead of investing in the stock market. I feel that while investing in bitcoin I am also investing in the future of our society. By the way I am big on the whole free internet, and wanting to go into politics later in life I look in sadness at how the people who are there to represent me, do the complete opposite. Who knows you may just be reading the post of a kid who is the future president of the United States.

      Ok so that brings me to this point, in the resent weeks with the full understanding that Butterfly labs is a real company I have looked into buying a Butterfly labs single and true me I have done days of crunching numbers to see if its the right path for me. As a guy who commented on my youtube videos said its better to invest in bitcoin mining than to day trade with the exchange between bitcoin and USD. I have been in lots of IRC chats and have read many post. I have looked into GLBSE, Mining Contracts, Shared Rigs, and many other options. The thing is someone like me who doesn't want to invest 1,000 or more in equipment is basically limited to either GLBSE (which don't get me wrong is a good option, and me myself has money invested in such) or Trading between BTC and USD

    So now I have a challenge for you, lets brain storm together and come up with something that can help both the small and large investor. Lets work on something to change bitcoin, lets work together and solve this problem and lets find a way to grab the average citizen and get them into BitCoin. I am usually a person who sits back and lets others figure out how to solve things that are "To Big For Me" I say its only to big if I let it be too big. P.S. I'll be editing this post to add your ideas Thanks for reading this

       Hello, first I want to say this is just one option of many but would be the easiest to get started. Below I am going to list the specs about if we bought the ButterFlyLabs Single.

$633 starting cost
Energy/month 4.088 (USD)
Energy/year 49.056 (USD)
832 Mh/s
First Year return needed 682.056 (USD)     *After first year and the box is paid off returns will greatly increase     *Prices have not been decided yet; hopping to get feedback about ideal prices

Options
1 Mh/s
5 Mh/s
10 Mh/s
20 Mh/s
25 Mh/s
50 Mh/s
100 Mh/s
250 Mh/s
500 Mh/s
Custom 1Mh/s-832 Mh/s (as of right now the higest is 832 Mh/s but could increase if we get more boxes)
Box (which is what ever the box produces, average is 832 Mh/s)

It would require some jury-rigging, but I would assume most FPGAs made for mining could also crack SHA256-hashed passwords.

I'm with RedEmerald; if Bitcoin falls apart, I'll be doing my best to crack the BOINC top 100.

The client machine runs services background that monitor and record the user's activity and reports them back to a central server optimizing the time in which the host machine can be "enslaved".

2. It truly saddens me that people are still using php to build websites.

There's a BIP for this

Looking into it, I discovered it was more of a very friendly programming way of doing it.
I mean...c'mon, do you really think they had the vision it would get to where it is now?
I'm sure in hindsight, they would have done some things a lot differently, but I don't think it matters because
if anything ever becomes a serious enough issue, we'll just update!

Go with CGminer. The ability to dynamically manage clock and fan speeds is really handy in the summer here in NJ with 80's and 90's with high humidity.

~$250 for a five-fold speed up on 1600 tests?  Sounds a little cheap.
