Okay we are near the time to start asking for and setting up a means to MINE Captcoin...
How do you MINE Captcoin? I am glad you asked
You don't mine Captcoin... it is not possible.. However you can mine at a multipool and ask for a CAPTcoin payout...
'nearmiss' is the owner of Hashcows. Hashcows is a multipool where you can mine all sorts of altcoins, they handle all the details and they payout most commonly in BTC but thay have options to payout in many other altcoins... particularly POS coins....
What we all need to do is send a friendly message to 'nearmiss' at BitcoinTalk and ask him to consider adding CAPT as a payout method at his multipool.
Please mention that we are on Bittrex, Coin-Swap, Atomic-Trade already... that is half the battle for him... I think he buys from Cryptsy and Poloniex but he will have to buy CAPT from another exchange....
He will then ask for donations.... ( usually about 0.75 BTC in CAPT worth of donations ) That is a lot and it requires community effort and that is what he wants to see... Those donations are RETURNED to the MINERS, he does not keep them... he only asks for the donations so we can 'prove' we will mine there.
Also PLEASE tell him we actually don't want to see this service for NINE MORE DAYS
This can be done.... I did it with PMC once long ago.... it is a community effort...
Thanks for reading....

Giving a possibility to use hardware to get CAPT is not in the spirit of the coin, it's just the opposite of the idea behind the coin. It would be bad for the CAPT.
Personally, I don't think that would go against the spirit of the coin.
The main reason of using captchas to distribute the coin was to provide a fair an wide distribution, involving a lot of people. Not necessarily to forbid other ways to get the coin.
"Mining" means investing resources and stop getting other coins in order to get CAPTcoins, so I would compare it to buying them on an exchange. And of course that is OK.
I'd really like to see CAPTcoin available on Hashcows. I think that would create a buying pressure and that would help.
