As you may recall, we started playing with a bitcoin generator a couple of months ago.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->We wanted to see how well it worked and what kind of revenues might be\u00a0generated. Well the answer is in. Virtually none. After almost 2 months of crunching away with the web based generator as well as ones we had going internally, we have generated a grand total of TWO (2) Bitcoins.<\/p>\n<p>The web version hasn&#8217;t even reached one bitcoin and my best guess is, it will be sometime in 2049 before it does. I&#8217;ve shut down the internal generators and have pulled the\u00a0WordPress\u00a0plugin offline. I&#8217;ll be taking the ones off the main site by the next update.<\/p>\n<p>The two bitcoins we did generate are sitting on Mt. Gox. It looks like we\u00a0might\u00a0get a grand total of $10 for them. That won&#8217;t even pay for the electricity we used to create them.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, yet another noble experiment meets reality.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for playing.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>~The Angry Systems administrator~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-4873\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"7c53c77ab2\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4873_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4873, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(0.2, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4873_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4873, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(0.2, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4873_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4873, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(0.2, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4873_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4873, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(0.2, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_4873_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(4873, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(0.2, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>5<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>0.20<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_4873_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-4873-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<div class=\"super-news-results\">\n<div class=\"super-news-result\">\n<div class=\"super-news-result-title\">\n<h3>Take the Guesswork out of Nole. | &#8211; What is BitCoin?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"super-news-result-clip\" title=\"http:\/\/whatsbitcoin.com\/?p=2522\">posted by Nole filed under letterpress real invitations Leave a Comment Leave a Reply Click here to cancel reply.
