  Description     : Python OpenCL BitCoin Miner

 BitCoins are a digital currency, exchanged freely against
 all other currencies. Coins may be issued by everyone, one
 just needs considerable computer power - and luck. To even
 out rewards for one's contribution, many initiative have
 forms to provide pools of computers and share the load.
 .
 The Poclbm is a Python OpenCL bitcoin miner, i.e. it uses
 the vector compute instructions of GPUs. This is so much 
 faster than a computation with CPUs, that one better invests
 the energy for CPUs where the versatility in computation
 is truly needed.


 The package is already functional at
 http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-escience/poclbm
 but I am not feeling like maintaining the package for the
 distribution. If you read this and feel like maintaining
 it, even as a newbie to Debian, you may contact me as a
 mentor/sponsor.
