Well, I'm sort of mining. Luckily, my friend never really shuts off his comp, so I get to use his comp, electric bill free. Unfortunately, due to the lack of any kind of modification, it's abysmally slow. Try bitcoinplus.com . It's a browser-based mining site.
I would like to be able to mine but the electricity bill simply becomes too damn high. I wish there was a way for all of us to mine together, however low of a hash rate as long as a minimum was met, and received a good amount of coins.
I suppose that would be too effortless but I'm sure if another successful alt-coin was to be produced a more communal delivery method would benefit.
