Kind of, in that it's a massive distributed computational network.

Yeah it my opinion it is worth it. Here's a profit calculator: http://bitcoinx.com/profit/index.php
Beware the bitcoin difficulty is rising exponentially!
Check out the bitcoin forum, sign up with a pool, and get the GUI miner app for Windows: http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=3878.0

I recommend connecting to a larger pool like Slush's pool or something, because the SA pool will only pay out when they find a block. Which will take a long time at the current work rate.I have no idea what i'm doing all it says is that I have 115 shares
thanks killa.
I tried all the pools in the guiminer program, couldnt connect to any of them.

You have to register first with a Pool if you want to get the bitcoins!

I did and the only one i could connect to was the bitcoinpool one. The rest said connection error.
i registered with the link you provided for zabitcoins. upon trying to connect to said server, there was mass failure, blood on the walls, kitten body parts EVERYWHERE.
Basically, i couldn't connect.

LOL ya i also cannot connect, we must be doing something wrong cause syn can connect. Grrrr
Hey guys maybe I can help.
In the GUIMiner at username enter (registered username).(miner id, default x) < ------ note the dot
Password = your Miner password. You can check all these under your account details section.
Host = mine.zabitcoin.co.za or 41.74.101.5
Port = 8332
Also make sure under Server select OTHER

This is the only reason bitcoins are worth anything,most ridiculous idea ever.
Buy something that has no value haha
and I looked up what you can do with these coins..and it appears not much,maybe you can spend 500 bucks mining these "coins" and buy something to the value of 50 rand?This is the only reason bitcoins are worth anything,most ridiculous idea ever.

You do realize that 1 bitcoin is worth $ 17.00 and you can convert it into cash or buy online.
yeah sure,how do I convert it to cash?
the only way a bitcoin has value to me is if it is given to me or mined for free.
