Edit: What would you do when you had won the price? I would pay my tuition fee and the rest would go to the others 
Arg and myself would have split the coins. 1.75BTC each. My load would have gone into a new graphics card and the leftovers (considering it's not that much anyway) would have been split between a few of the solves. Without them, I'd have probably been many days behind. I'm interested in hearing what everyone else would do with the BTC.
what card you whant?
i have about 20 hd5970, hd5870, hd5850.. older cards now, but still very powerfull beasts!
we use it for our nokia sl3 servers, but if we get the system working with our fpga cards,
we shut down all servers.
i would also exchange cards against coding fpga to do the job.
because i cant get sha1 working with the ztex boards... what i need..
so nokia uses sha1 with salt (0000-9999)
