Now that I have one (succesful!) Kickstarter under my belt, I want to do a crazier one.  It’s all well and good to fund Rocksalt, and Rocksalt needs funding (please send us all your moneys k thx bye) but I want to do weirder things with it.  I want to make a card game, and I want to print namecoins and distribute them.  Both of those would use Rocksalt as an ideal distribution channel.
I also want to fund much stranger things, like the Austin Municipal Danceatorium, a Googlecar-based taxi service, and giant billboards that have all the English pronouns and difficult grammatical constructions (so truckers and other people driving through Austin can learn basic English).  It’s all dependent upon my ability to communicate to Kickstarter what I need.  I don’t know if it’s a business or a living but it’s amusing as all heck.

The good news is that the waste heat from my ASIC chips helps to keep my room warm.

The bad news is that I live in Texas, so I only have four months until I really, really don’t want any more waste heat in my room.

The really bad news is that these two eruptors that I bought are not going to make back what I paid for them in time. Not unless I leave them on for all four months and Bitcoins stabilize at about $1,000 and namecoins achieve 1=1 parity with bitcoins.

So, when they tell you don’t get into mining unless you’re getting in all the way, they mean it. It’s over for small investments in mining. Unless you want an expensive space heater.
