I noticed that Humble Bundle accepts bitcoin, and I thought Great!, but I was wondering if mining bitcoin was legal (please provide proof somehow), or if it is illegal? Also (assuming that it is legal), does anyone buy Humble Bundles with bitcoin?

I noticed that not many have said if bitcoin mining is legal or not but some have mentioned taxing, but how does this all work?

as far as i know it is legal, you can check wikipedia, it's basically renting your video card to process transactions.

I buy my bundles with bitcoins and all it's fine.

As illegal as mining coal in Minecraft.

I've bought 2 bundles with bitcoin. I don't personally mine them, got them @ Tremor Games.

can you guys show any text that it is legal? Or is it just legal because no one has been sued yet?

Sued for what? Humble accepts bitcoins, you pay in bitcoins, humble is happy, you are happy.

Nothing illegal about bitcoin and HIB has no taxes as it's a registered non-profit.

But bitcoin isn't really a stable currency or anything viable beyond niche usage, although a lot of teenagers on the internet like to pretend it is.

No point in mining for bitcoins nowadays. It might be take weeks to get an amount which enough for a below average bundle.
