I get it now. I don't at all feel sorry for people who spent $20000+ on a pc for that. Who on earth thought of this anyways? A sort of sporting event for your pc to earn coins which could be cashed for money is retarded.
Thanks too to ImThat1Guy and Wolley.
It's pretty stupid TBH.
"But you have the potential to make MILLIONS!!"
Yes, and I have the potential to make millions by robbing a bank, which is equally as likely to happen as making millions from bitcoins.
70 5770s... That would run, what? $7,000? Not even counting the 14-15 1,000w PSUs, probably 14-15 CPUs and mobos, 14-15 sticks of RAM (if not more).....
Stupid waste of money. Which is funny, because it's something only people who are already well off can even participate in, spending $20,000, to build a computer, that can potentially make them $30/hr, but simultaneously cost them $50/hr in electricity.

Of course! It's so simple!!
Hence why the bitcoin economy keeps crashing so often. Unnatural increase in supply and artificial inflation.

Heh, reminds me of the thread where the guy's budget was $50,000.
Also, how did you do that? I got it to $15,724.95.
What if bitcoins was just a plot thought up by hardware companies to get idiots to spend money. (conspiracy keanu haha)
