The easiest way to reach me is at robertbogdon@gmail.com.  I love the article idea, it's one of the three main topics that came to mind with the descent theme.

I received a lot of responses to this post, so I wanted to clarify what I’m looking for.  I’m going to be putting together a science fiction magazine, most likely using MagCloud to publish it.  I am also looking into getting additional funding through Kickstarter.  I’m looking for original short stories, anything from the flash fiction style of www.365tomorrows.com to longer format content.  I’m also looking for original artwork or photographs to accompany those stories.  Each issue will have a theme centered around a specific word, usually something with multiple meanings.  For the first issue, I’ve chosen “descent” as the theme.

I’m also looking for a handful of non-fiction pieces of content that go with that same theme.  Pointers to Creative Commons articles with a license that would allow them to be included in a larger collection and sold, original book reviews on books that fit the theme, and other content suggestions are all welcome.  I’m willing to tip for suggestions that lead to content included in the final product as well as pay for original content, however  I haven’t the slightest idea what reasonable rates are.  I don’t want to rip anyone off, however I still want to be able to sell the magazine at a profit that allows me to fund a second issue, so I can continue paying for original content.

With all that being said, right now I am only looking for proposals, until I believe I’m fairly close to a full magazine worth of content, I will not be paying out any bitcoins.  For original content, please send me a short description and the length (or expected length) of the content, short samples are also welcome.  For original artwork, please send me a description, thumbnails are also welcome.  Artwork should be at a high enough resolution to allow for full page printing.  For additional content suggestions, please hold on to them for now.  I want to make sure everyone is paid for their suggestions, however I do not plan on paying out any bitcoins until I have enough content.

Of course, if anyone wants to just send me their stuff and trust me to pay them if I use it, I'm ok with that too.   

I'm considering putting together a science fiction magazine and was wondering if there was anyone interesting in writing for bitcoins.

Here's a 16 port KVM: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=GCS16KIT&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=6394743102377046368&sa=X&ei=CVQPTpfYIobYiAKvlKTIDQ&ved=0CFgQ8wIwAA

I can get one drop shipped to you for 36.5 BTC.  It's more than you'd pay buying it directly with cash though, so unless you've got a stack of coins you're trying to burn through, might not be the best option.

I'm also looking for an invite, 0.1 BTC.

Here's my offer, 20 cases of Top Ramen, that's 480 individual packages, for 9 BTC plus shipping to be determined if someone is actually interested.

To be clear, if you mine separately on each of them, you're most likely duplicating a lot of effort and essentially only getting any unique work done on the system with the fastest CPU.  If you use a mining pool, they handle coordination to ensure that work isn't being duplicated by members of the mining pool.  I believe you could get the same benefit by using a dedicated CPU mining program on each system and pointing them to your own Bitcoin client as the server.

But then how will hackers know that an account owner is sexy?

LinuxCoin is based on Debian (Ubuntu is also based on Debian), so it shouldn't be too much of an adjustment.  You can get more info here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/LinuxCoin

I don't believe there would be any benefit to using a cluster for bitcoin.  The mining pools take care of bundling together your effort, and I would definitely recommend joining one of them.

I received them about 24 hours apart, but I have received both balances at this point.  The first balance showed up as "Generated", while the second one showed up as a regular transaction with the name I had associated with the address I used for Eligius.

You can save some, but it's unlikely to be a significant amount compared to the power draw of a video card.  I have a couple of mining systems that I boot a USB install of LinuxCoin on, then once it's started and mining, I pull the USB drive and use it to boot the other systems.

There are a lot of places that will dropship food, clothing, etc.  I'm happy to act as a reseller accepting bitcoin.  If there's specific products you're looking for, send me a list.

I'm trying to resell Steam games purchased as gifts.  I noticed a few other threads where unused keys for games that could be activated on steam were being sold, and this seemed like a more straightforward way to go about it.

Purchasing Steam games at $15/BTC on your behalf and sending them as gifts.  Let me know if you're interested.
