Why EVE players should care about BitCoins.

A GTC is about $35.

A BitCoin is worth ~$6

You only need ~6 Bitcoins to buy TWO MONTHS worth of EVE!

Lets see how this works, you can start generating bitcoins, maximum completion time per bitcoin is ~88 months. that means we only need ~528 months to play EVE for FREE for two months.

This seems rather ineffective, 528 months is actually 44 YEARS.

But if we had 44 computers running BitCoin generators we could average 1 GTC per year!

But there are 12 months in a year and the GTC only covers TWO!

Well, we just multiply the number of computers by 6, and we cover the full cycle!

Thats only 264 Computers.

Leaving your computer running costs ~$11 per month, so this may need to be considered.
(Determined using a Kill-A-Watt meter)

so if we factor in roughly 264 Computers running 24/7 @ $11 per month.

You can play EVE for FREE for as little as $2,904 a month!

Now if CCP would just team up with Alienware you could get free computers with PLEX
to help generate even more bitcoins.

An old Tom Gerard thread is worth -30 Internets.

He has posted about 300 Terrible Threads to ruin the internet by about -9000 Points... Maybe a little over

His new threads are worth about +40

Lets see how this works, Time between a good idea and refining it into a joke that can be made into a thread is about roughly 36 hours give or take. This seems rather ineffective, 338 days to make up for what you have done to the internet.

But if we cut out your brain and cloned the tissue to make 6 Tom Gerard brains we could average +240 points every 36 hours!

Well, we just multiply the number of good thread points by 6 to get that 240 then divide 1.5, and we get +160 points per day!

Ripping out your brain causes considerable pain, so this may need to be considered.
(Determined by whether I use Anesthesia (I'm not BTW.))

So if we factor in 6 brains working, that's roughly +4800 Points per month.

You can repair all the damage you have to the internet in as little as 2 month!


I really like your posts lately. Stop by my lab later.

I am so glad you didn't' say it had something to do with Goons RMT'ing. I would have been heartbroken.

3k a month plus the startup costs of 300 PC's.
lets say budget PC's $600 each because they'll need a GPU to generate Buttcoins.
So, approx $180k start up Yeah?
plus your electricity bill & rent for a suitable premises to house 300 PC Computers.
But you will get free EvE.
