Sorry to drag this back up but I thought this would be important to 
people mining bitcoins.

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.

        anything?


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