I've started LOTS of other books, but never finished them....either they were boring, or I got the drift of it before the end, or I had something else to do.....
I have read many of those listed. they only served to show me that it is all a trap or second fence to hide the truth. Try publishing a book about truth I bet it get's shot down. I would just love to read a book Scott has wrote.
i have a machine running bitminter @ 70k hashes a second, has one proof of work sofar. i might get .25BTC maybe by when, febuary? (a celeron GPU without any graphics card!)
You are being optimistic :D
That rig barely does the task. Get a giant Gaming machine and cascade GPUS on it. It will cost about 10 grand. For the same money, you can buy the parts and build a "supernode", but you need to know about clustering CPU/GPU nodes.
