[FRIAM] Get ready for Blockchain

[Gillian Densmore]

@*Coin mining. FWIW When I was way more into that and a few times got bout
3Euro/2bucks worth around 014 my handle was in was a alto coin mining
guild. FWIW at that time for me it was a heck of a lot faster to  kind of
'fish' for boins on AltCoin. It pretty cool because somehow they had a
system set up where my computers spare CPU and Graphics memory and
processing would go out with these guys for 2-3 ours and after 3 days I had
enough to get a coke.
LOL not exactly fast for me.

It was weirldly somehow a lot faster and nicer to the computer to do that
then for the graphics card to run at full steam. At that time I was into
PeerCoin and LiteCoin. For some reason I thought P2P or CloudCoin would
gane traction and sanity where it seemed like BitCoin had jumped into a
deep end and then some.

One of the Cloud/WebCoin clients:

CloudCoin and CloudCoin mining info for those curius

Huh as I look at that I wonder if the AltCoin CloudCoin merged or is
defunct.
