me too.. so sometimes I think I should get this t-shirt:

definitely.

And honestly... Banks in the real world are far more cheapskates when coming to interest on account balance.
if you find one that gives you 25% yearly on savings.... and accepts deposits from around the world, from normal persons, and not from tax-paradise based companies, please give the contact 

for the time being, coinlenders is the best choice in my opinion, for keeping a large part

and keeping btc offline... well, is kind of hiding them under the mattress  xD! (though I recognize that having a bit available in a machine/hdd that would be seldomly used... like some sort of a physical safe... unless the drive sounds TAC,TAC TAC!, is pretty safe as a storage 

only make sure to take the CD between 0:00  and 1:00  UTC, so you don't lose a bit of the proportional daily interest  (unless TradeFortress has changed that).

And having above 1 BTC sitting in there, is good.

Even if in long term is easier take only CDs, and renew them as soon as possible to earn as much possible compound interest as possible... having a BTC or 2 sitting in there, earning daily mili-bitcoins, is really nice as well 

I prefer to trust first a gipsy-seer, then any astrologist's zodiacal metaphysical energetics explanation, than any economist forecast on buy/sell.

nice

currently got 1CD taken.. looking for more as soon as I get moar BTCs.

thanks for the bitcoin mag article. will be useful.

if it smells like sh*t, tastes like.. well, the conclusion is evident 

if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

I wouldn't risk 1BTC  considering that in my case is like 15 days of mining 24/7.

for cpuminer you don't need to install software.
just copy the zip, decompress and run a .bat like:
Still to minimize network usage, you'd need to run the stratum proxy pointing properly to where are you mining

C:\guiminer\cpuminer\minerd -a sha256d -o http://server:port -u user -p password -t number_of_threads

I foung something interesting:  "Mining Javascript with WebGL",  maybe it would help?

just because I wanted to

doing a bit or RTF:  Read The Forum, is always useful 

well, I'll get out of newbie Jail soon... hopefully 

if anyone wants to play there the Ponzi scheme... well, better donate to me, 1 BTC would be really, really nice

I'd like to get some FPGAs just in case  


also.. Anti-Scam bump.

interesting to know... have things in an exchange outside USA would be an option then?

www.bitcoinstore.com

www.bitmint.com

those two look really nice.

can't you just run cpuminer with a .bat script or something like that on start-up, using one thread less that the amount of cores (just to keep the pc responsive)

not paying them beyond anything bigger than a Jalapeno.
