So this is how wild rumors spread, huh? I think the Bitcoin farming thing was just a joke and you guys totally fell for it.

@TimeBlitz: Well, the others already said something about how and where Bitcoins are used, but it is indeed possible to 'farm' this currency. The idea behind a single Bitcoin is that it is a unique assembly of code that both contains a complex algorithm that traces all transactions made with them in order to guarantee that no dublicates get generated and of course the unique ID of a single Bitcoin. Just like encryption algorithms, there is an unlimited number of Bitcoins, but the algorithm is so complex that it takes infinitely longer to calculate new Bitcoins the more of them were already generated. So technically, everyone with enough server power could generate new Bitcoins, but it takes ages...

... and we can all agree that DW's potato servers are the last piece of hardware you would ever use to generate them.
