Some WTF mining rig pictures.
Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

... and some WTF text to go with them, for instance:

"Bitcoins are protected by complex mathematical problems that help maintain the network’s public transaction’s logbook."

"These train-wreck like computers are dangerously put together with Lego and other random household products. They cost between $1,800 and $2,500 and are crammed with high-end computer parts."

"In Ottawa, a Bitcoin miner actually accidentally burned his house down after a soldering mishap."

and, my fave, his caption for a mining rig: "This doesn’t even look like a computer to me." This from "Postmedia's technology editor with a passion for video games and technology." - he apparently gets paid to write this stuff.
