A trully staunch miner, the AI behind BitCoin (Satoshi) is going to reward you by terminating you with the last few, the very lucky few...
My BF's Radeon (which I drool over and still haven't got my hands on) makes 190Mhash/s on average.
(...) Now do the maths: the amount of BTCs you made divided by the amount of time you sold. I don't know how much an e-mail address is worth, but let's assume you've made 5 BTC in 12 hours. That's 0,41(6) per hour. Minimal salary in my country equals 0,46875 BTC per hour. (...)
your country puts the minimum salary in BTC??? I wish!
First you increased sb's page-rank (spending time on a website = selling your time) and sold your valid e-mail address.
Then sb earned some $ on ads and you sold your time and a valid e-mail address again for a lottery (the organizes always win).
And then you provided sb a hell lot of data (google "data mining"), your, guess, valid e-mail and a lot of time you could have spent doing something more profitable.
Later on you froze your BTC's and then sold some of your time again.

It's pretty good if you want your first BTCs and to see how it works, but not so good in the long run... ;-)

Re: I need a design of bitcoin flag for demonstrations in Russia
First of all, a flag as people understood it in the past and still understand it today is a graphical representation of historical and moral values shared by a group of people, be it a nation, an organization or a church. They're usually linked to a specific territory. A flag has to be accepted by some form of (a centralized) government or at least a majority (or be forced upon a group of people, as it happened countless times in history). New flags, like the flag of EU, are more of an advertisement really. Since BitCoin is an ex-territorial, decentralized form of money minted (mined) by individuals, no symbol will become a flag unless it is accepted by miners and users, hence the BTC symbol - there are two: the Dollar-like B and the #B. Even though the Dollar-B is being used more frequently, there is still no agreement in the community on the currency symbol.
I personally like the #B symbol better, because it emphasizes the mathematical foundation on which the BTC is based and doesn't send out a "something like Dollar" or an "anti-Dollar" message, but rather a "completely now quality" statement.
Lets look at the symbolism for a second. There was and is no need to die for BTC, no bloody red then. No need to declare a war against anyone (the enemies will defeat themselves :-) ), no need for black. No connotations with nature - no green. The commonly used colors we've got left are: blue, white and yellow. Blue stands for freedom, reason, prosperity. White stands for innocence and purity, transparency. Yellow represents wealth and justice.
My proposals are square, because I find it more "perfect" than a rectangle (even in golden proportions) and it can be used both ways, that is as a conventional flag-on-the-rod and as "old combat style" flag. I used mainly blue and white, because I find BitCoin has more to do with mind and intellect than any other currency. Yellow and gold are used as the advertisements and "good luck charms" really. The circle and a disk, through their resemblence of the sun (gold) is instantly associated with money, but also symbolizes the rotation of BTC (and is a wink to central banking). They're all very simple. A flag has to be easily memorializeable and recognizable from afar. The middle one (white disk on blue background) is my personal favorite.

Is it lucrative? Oh, just show your brand new and shiny GPU to your GF and tell her that it's exclusively for mining and she can't have fun rendering on it, because you don't want to go below xxx mega-hashes per second; suddenly she'll become nicer than ever before, haha.
I still have a lot of reading to do, but the most important thing: you can't go wrong with mathematics... plus I like the idea of nerds becoming economists. :-]
@jago25_98, wherever there's risk and some hope for gain (or at least a hope for a lack of loss), there's speculation; for example I'm speculating that I'll live another day, but I can't be 100% sure that I will.

I want out of here to post my ingenious design to this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55214.0;all and win/earn myself my very first bitcoins :-)
