I do it long time and a can say, totaly worthless. Boinc c/o Subprojects can start to give a little fee to the cruncher, like Bitcoins.

Sell vanity addresses.

It was recently discussed on the forums (I'd have to look it up) that it's not too difficult to have someone request a vanity address and you produce it in a way where you don't have access to the private key.

If you actually get this setup, let us know, there seems to be quite a demand for this.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.

In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber

ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)

The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.
