How have you earned your Bitcoins?

I bought most of my coins, generated 50 coins (2 months ago, since then nothing  ), earned some with donations for graphics I've made and I'm a lucky bastard with lottery's so taabl was pretty profitable to

It seems that generation of bitcoins has increased significantly again despite the difficulty being stable at 917.

What is the reason for this?
Are there some experts making loads of bitcoins = "money" with supercomuting power?

Some people are using code written for GPUs now which are faster and more power efficient. There are a few threads about it.

Bitcoin P2P Cryptocurrency - Free - Open Source Software Project !

"Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer network based anonymous digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. Anonymity means that the real world identity of the parties of a transaction can be kept hidden from the public or even from the parties themselves. Advantages:

* Transfer money easily through the Internet, without having to trust middlemen.
* Third parties can’t prevent or control your transactions.
* Bitcoin transactions are practically free, whereas credit cards and online payment systems typically cost 1-5% per transaction plus various other merchant fees up to hundreds of dollars.
* Be safe from the unstability caused by fractional reserve banking and bad policies of central banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system’s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by the banks.

Bitcoin is an open source project created by Satoshi Nakamoto, and is currently in beta development stage. Bitcoin development is hosted at Sourceforge copid."

So far, I just bought them.

But I intend to sell some linux stickers very soon.  They will be very cheap, since I will sell them below my purchase price.
