[StarsMine]

I myself use my extra resources doing F@H, sound like a much more useful thing then that, and If I so choose to, I can get money off of it to (EVGA has some promotions)
Its not fast money but thats not the point. Id rather have my computer working on these types of projects http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Papers

As of May 2011, no major retailer accepts the currency for payment.

Difference?
F@h does science (goal is not money, though you can get some from some teams, like with EVGA up to 10EVGAbucks a month, usable on their store)

Superman was saying that as of now, no store actually accepts these as money. You have to find someone who is willing to exchange them first.

seems like there are alot of websites that say the exchange it to your credit card and there is a few sites i found that sells stuff just for bit coins is bit coins trustable?

Getting set up for this as "surfacedsquid"

I'd rather be useful and simulate protein than be selfish and waste time on a useless internet currency.
