#22I don't own a single Bitcoin. The problem is that it's too volatile.

#230, I like the idea but I still haven't found a single reason to own one.
I don't currently own any. However I did pick up a Raspberry Pi recently, which made me a little interesting in the bit coin thing. I'm curious if a RPi cluster could (slowly) but efficiently (from a power consumption standpoint) mine.

No, ASIC miners will be much more efficient.

Not really, there is no way you could buy mining equipment right now and make net profits. There are several calculators online that take difficulty increase into account.

The simple answer to your question is no.

#28I mined about 50BTC years ago (when it took around 1 day CPU time), but a constantly deflating currency seemed like a dumb idea so I deleted it. It still seems like a dumb idea, but now I wish I hadn't.

Is it? A lot of people use Bitcoin, but it's still a very, very, very, very low percentage of people in all.

#30The last time my interest was piqued I found it so difficult to buy them in the UK (looked like the best way was to wire some money so someone in France…) that I gave up.
I've been trying to set up an exchange here in the UK, but am facing a lot of what I consider anti competitive behaviour from UK banking. I met Vince Cable to talk about it and hopefully the situation will change in the future: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinUK/comments/1n99os/met_with_v... Although it's a big mountain to climb so perhaps it's wishful thinking at this stage!
