Bitcoin does work on the GPU, but it works best on the specialized hardware for bitcoin mining. Ask around here if you're interested in that.

Also, welcome! And glad to have you around the message boards!
Thank you Maxwell! I'm pretty excited to be here. Everyone has been really helpful. I'll be ready in May

Oh I see. I don't know about specialized hardware. Sounds like it would be expensive and I'm just a poor IT guy Also I keep forgetting to ask, but what is the little alien looking people under everyone's name and title? I have two green ones and you have green and purple?
