ESEA League, one of the largest PC gaming leagues, has admitted to putting code into the league's client software to "mine" bitcoins, the open-source Internet currency now exchanging for around $130 per. The league is offering free memberships as some members complain the code damaged their video cards.

I always wanted gamers to be introduced to bitcoin, but this is probably not the ideal way to do it.
Bitcoin combines money, the wrongest thing in the world, with software, the easiest thing in the world to get wrong.
