None. I have told a good friend that there's good money to be earned, but he's too dumb when it comes to see opportunities. Generally I consider stupid to convince other people to mine, because more miners will lower my own income.

Real AKs in my land cost 15,000 USD plus a stamp from the ATF that says they can walk around in your bedroom any time they wish.

Convincing people it's not illegal? Smoke a joint with them first to ease their fears. If it's a relative, drink a bottle of quality vodka before the joint.

Yea, that ak-47 you got on the black market and paid with bitcoins may also help

Do you have any suggestions for convincing people its not Illegal? My Dad seems to think that Bitcoin is Illegal because "You're not allowed to create a currency, Its probably hacking or password cracking something, etc"

I am up to about 3 maybe 4 people after tonight.

Convinced the lot of them to buy a 1Ghps system and I set it up for them for free.

If you show them weusecoins.com as an intro and then bitcoincharts.com and explain the mining process, it's a surprisingly easy sell even to non-techies.

Because really, who wants to be rich when all their friends are poor? Make your friends rich too, people!

(I have taken due diligence and informed them all that bitcoins could be worth $0 tomorrow, and that it's a risky investment). Nobody wants to be friendless either Wink
