Hi.
Are any of you playing around with bitcoins?
If so, are there any great ways to use it with a local wallet on Mac
(or Windows)?
Are someone of you mining bitcoins?
If so, how do you handle that?

I know one person who is buying bit coins.
If he gets anymore then I'll join him too. unfortunately he's not on this list
but he has a Mac, several in fact and I don't know why.
