New Project - Bitcoin Utopia
| Quote: | Bitcoin Utopia is a commercial service that uses Internet-connected computers to mine bitcoins for crowdfunding public innovation competition awards. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.
Bitcoin Utopia is located in Jyväskylä, Finland. |

A couple early observations:
1. I haven't even run this for a whole day, so not much info to provide.
2. It mines Bitcoins. So take that for what it's worth...
3. Only available for Windows for now. Linux is planned.
4. Only available for GPU. Requires a CPU core.
5. ATI much better than Nvidia.
Team is created. I'm going to try this out for a little while then get back to Milkyway.

Looks like project #0 was to fund the site. Sounds like they will be moving on to another project soon. Potentially, could be one of these...http://www.bitcoinutopia.com/projects/
