[hackerspaces] bitcoin

[Jamie Schwettmann]

I'm involved in a project that builds open-source mini supercomputers that
fit in a suitcase.  With GPGPUs.  For under $5000, and intended for
educational use, but actually perfect for bitcoin mining... especially if we
pool a bunch of them on our favorite darknet...

And by the way, aren't FPGAs *much* faster at cranking random numbers than
GPGPUs? ;)
