151 freshly mined Bitcoins!

I'm glad I didn't signup to mtGox before they got hacked and restore their service.

How long did it take to mine them?

I suspect that bitcoin will be illegal in the US soon. This reminds me of e-gold.

This does not make any sense, why would anyone pay for something that is useless. This is like a ponzy scheme, once there are no more idiots that actually buy the coins with real money, they will be worthless.

When all these people get hooked on mining my ass tokens I'll make them send out more and more spam for me before giving them one. This will give them the illusion that my ass tokens are going up in value and all of these ass miners will spend their real money building racks of machines to send out more spam for me. More and more miners will compete for mining my ass because the tokens will get harder to dig out and all the while I'm getting richer and richer for free while all these ass miners are really getting shit but I'll have them convinced that it's actually worth something for having their computers sitting around solving math problems that actually serve no purpose.
This is how stupid people in real life really are.

Nice blast from the past. Wish I'd had a crystal ball back then, I'd be a lot more excited about mining 0.06392876 BTC in half a day. I stopped mining way too early.
