Sorry to drag this back up but I thought this would be important to
people mining bitcoins.<br>
<br>
Currently there is a Trojan doing the rounds that nicks your
wallet.dat and as a result, gets access to all of the bitcoins
contained within. Stick your wallet.dat in a slightly safer place,
like a truecrypt volume, if you think you might be at risk.<br>

Saw a blurb about China using their prison population to
mine WoW<br>
Gold. I wonder if they're doing this with BitCoin too.
Anyone heard<br>
anything?<br>

Mining WoW gold is not quite comparable to mining Bitcoins. The
first is labour intensive, the second capital intensive.<br>
