    Sometimes I think about opening a full-on Let's Play channel because it's such a mind-bogglingly easy way to make money.

      @mrmattimation Ask Neu how much he makes sometime. It's a pretty round number (It's zero)

        @ceruleanspark Right, but then you've got people like AntVenom who make $40,000 a year just for putting their horrible voice over Minecraft videos. Obviously I'm not looking to sustain myself off of ad revenue, at the present time that would be a stupid idea, but having SOME extra money from playing Lego Simulator would be nice.

          @mrmattimation isn't that basically minimum wage?

            @ceruleanspark Not quite. Minimum wage is more around the 20K mark, if I'm remembering my economics class correctly.

              @mrmattimation It's not really a "safe living" though. When you can lose your entire income overnight with no recourse because a robot flagged you for copyright infringement one too many times.

                @ceruleanspark It's not, but again, I'm not looking for a safe living. I'm looking to make extra cash.

                    @ceruleanspark hmm.. Would it be worth taking out a loan?

                      @lulu That would be a bad idea. It's not even really necessary. It's a $40 outlay for a $5 a month return.

                        @ceruleanspark I'm sold, but what requirements are there for my network? Mine will change soon, but currently it's rather restrictive.

                          @lulu None at all. This system lets you host your miner in the cloud in a datacenter someplace. I've got 4 or 5 up there now. (I just loop the profit they make back into buying more, I started with 1)

                            @ceruleanspark Nice. :) So do you just pay a service like investing or do you actually run your own software?

                              @lulu You pay the one off-fee for the miner, and they take a small fraction (3% I think) of what you mine to pay running costs.

                                    @ceruleanspark Do you prefer mtgox.com or bitstamp.net?

                                      @lulu I use bitstamp. MTgox is so badly run as to essentially be a con. If you're just /buying/ coins, bitinstant is not a bad solution. PLEASE note that despite the name, you don't need to buy whole bitcoins! You just need 0.04-ish.

                              @lulu It's all automated. All you need to deal with is withdrawing your bitcoins and converting them to fiat currency, but that's not very difficult these days.

                    @ceruleanspark I'm thinking 15% APR at most.

                      @lulu probably less though.
