Re: [Trisquel-users] how to install bitcoin

Note that while possible, ''mining'' bitcoins is practically impossible and  
will end up only costing you.

This is because the free software client can only utilize the CPU. The  
relatively much faster GPUs require proprietary software and even these are  
getting to be obsolete by in turn much faster FPGAs and even faster ASICs.

Using bitcoins on the other hand should work nicely.

ps. Linux is the kernel, GNU/Linux is the operating system.
