so here i am, using my lowly nvidia 560 vid card in my gaming rig (when i'm not gaming...) to mine for me. i've got a little handful of BTC. i am very much interested in boitcoin in the long term and it's potential, hence my current (nearly useless...) mining. so eventually, i want ot buy some fpga's and really run with this.

unfortunately, my real word USD job pretty much only pays enough for me to get from paycheck to paycheck. so i'm trying ot think of ways to use my meager BTC to raise the capital to buy at least one FPGA, to start off. to that end, i'm wondering what ideas the community has. my thought, initially, is forex trading, since i have btc, and could easily exchange them into usd, GBP, what have you, and right back to BTC ad neaseum, adding a few cents at a time here and there. obviously this would be a cautionary thing, since exchange rates fluctate and have various fees.

so, thoughts on this or other ideas, besides a bank heist, to get a few hundred bucks to buy some FPGAs?

i don't post much, but this space for rent.

You could always make micro-investments into GLBSE FPGA mining company's.  The returns might not be as high as running your own FPGA farm but most of the listed FPGA mining company's pay a weekly dividend.

Credit card?

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
