WAAAAAY back in May of last year I did a little CPU mining.  Then stopped when I realized I was spending more on electricity than the bitcoins I generated were worth.  Bitcoins were selling for under a penny a piece, and I figured it cost a couple cents in electricity to mine them. @p{par}

So if you think there's a chance bitcoin prices will be 10 or 100 times higher in the next year or three, maybe CPU mining now isn't crazy. @p{par}

Just saying.
