I'm going to start mining rapper's gold teeth, with my steel toe-capped boot.
The alacrity surrounding mimicry cryptocurrency never fails to amaze me.
It's all an Idiot Litmus Test.
There are a lot of people who will not get behind Bitcoin for one reason or another (they cannot be bothered to research it, cannot understand it, or just don't buy into the idea), but every Joe Jackass salivates over the prospect of essentially creating money on their PC. They don't have to understand it, they don't even have to care at all about what it is, what it means, what it stands for, its technical merit - all they have to hear is "with Xcoin, you can be a successful miner too!", and that's all that it takes.
It's a gold rush.

These are useful tools to train on if you can't get bitcoins.
The irony tickles me so.
