Who else think that the pooled mining must be embedded into the official bitcoin client (as option in GUI menu) to allow for any user could start again to generate 0.01 bitcoin per day?
I think
* it's the Way Forward, but perhaps should mature before being shipped with the GUI. Can you make this thread into a poll? (e.g. Yes Now / Yes Later / No)
* I could blow some money on GPUs, but I don't play *any* big 3D games so I can only justify that if I start writing my own OpenCL code, or purely to support bitcoin.

I lack enough CPU (spare, on machines in my home DMZ) to expect to mint a block ever, unless difficulty flattens off soon. I could buy some coins, but have no use for them yet... I'm left with 0.05 from charity, so I am a (not disgruntled) outsider.
Bitcoins generator in fact is an excellent advertisement for bitcoin!
I didn't understand this bit, sorry.
