Topic: How do you generate your Bitcoins? (Read 1906 times)
I'm casually mining on my gaming rig, when it isn't gaming.
I think that the current difficulty (and its not going to get lower) excludes GPU's (certainly for me). Its also not worth investing in FPGA with ASICs around the corner, so I am waiting out the mining thing until ASICs hit. Then Ill reassess!
I'm mining casually using my existing ATI 7770 and playing around with different mining software to learn more for now.
Planning to get more heavily involving in both mining and btc trading once the ASIC hardware comes out (Jalapeno SC pre-ordered!)

pardon for the wrong quote! 
I get an awful 8Mh/s on my work PC with an i5 core...

I think he was replying to me... although where he got that name from I dunno 
Anyway it was a typo, I meant 24Mh/s on my work PC... my home PC gets about 295Mh/s with my 6870 and my girlfriends is about 280Mh/s

no coins, intrigued, hoping to be an explorative miner soon 
@Brian Puccio: 24GHash/s is an incredible amount, isn't it?

Currently mining with my 6870 equipped PC, also my girlfriends PC with a 6870 mines whenever it is idle (i.e. she has left it on doing nothing). Also my work PC is mining with its FX580 card and its 8 cores of CPU... although it only generates about 24Mh/s.
Steeling tax returns and blackmailing high profile political figures
I looked into mining, but I've got a rather weak CPU and mere integrated video on my headless Linux box, so that's out. My MacBook is less than ideal too. So I'm looking into ASIC, specifically, Butterfly Lab's BitForce Jalapeno. Sadly, I pay for my electricity
Strictly a Miner right now with a 7950 on water and also a 5850 + 6850 in a dedicated rig
would like to look at other options for inquiring coins in the future!!

I was looking for the "I run a ponzi or a ponzi pass thru" option.
I'm casually mining with 2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480's and 1 GTS 450 at 280 Mhash/s. I'm currently getting 95% revenue plus Namecoins... if anyone has a better recommendation than btcguild.com, then please do share!
Where is the "I spend what I mine" option?
Miner i sit at my desk with a pickaxe and a miner hat and watch the bitcoin's roll in and if my wife's cat looks like its going to take a nap on my gpu's i give the cat to the neighbors kids and let them play dress up with it
I sell cloud hosting, does well
I am investing in Pyramining. See signature for details. I let my coins generate coins for me!!
I'm buying and stacking them. I also use them with I find it useful
No, playing the market implies trying to make money on the price fluctuations by buying and selling. That is very different from buying a stash of BTC for later use (although I admit that if you do it hoping that the price goes up in the long run, you *are* playing the market - as opposed to if you plan on *spending* you BTC).
I think so, too. Just started by converting a bit of money into BTC and plan on investing it on one of the exchanges, through which I hope I will participate in a successful mining operation. 
You seem to be missing a category for "I convert other currency into bitcoins through an exchange".
I'd say that equals 100% to 'playing the market', no?
