I have about 350 left - bought a miner in March...

I guess another reason why I don't feel depressed is that I always meant to keep some of them as a long term investment. Just curious to see what happens when supply of new BitCoins starts to slow down. Of course I am not the only one thinking like that, so there are a lot of BitCoins out of circulation atm.

Which miner did you buy? And how much did you pay for her?

I bought an Acer gaming PC off ebay with an ATI HD5970 graphics card for 800€ - but the same offer was available for 700€, I just missed it.

It currently does ~580MHash/s and consumes about 300Watt - not too bad compared to other miners, it seems to me. Also, if it survives the mining, maybe I can one day use it as a gaming PC if mining becomes unprofitable.

I was lucky that a friend offered to host it in his cellar, though - would have been too noisy for my flat.

So you made... Like, $3,000?

Awesome.

Haven't sold all the BTC, but enough to recoup expenses+some.
