Recommendation - forget about digging for gold. Write software to power Cyberspace:

< ...The majority of people dig, without permission from the authorities and with only rudimentary tools. Their only wish is to avoid having to leave town and, hopefully, find some gold. The soldiers and bureaucrats, on the other hand, do not dig, instead using their authority to cream a share of others’ profits.

The daily mission of most people is to dig a hole to extract the ore, take it to the riverside to wash, and then sell it to buy food. With work clothes and a hammer, wash bowl, strong burlap sack, metal bucket, candles, shovel, rope, and a washcloth and drain (with a wooden partition to make it easier to trap gold), they enter the mine.

It is quite obvious that hunting gold is a pointless, futile and absurd activity when Cyberspace beckons. I have taken it as a special mission to save them from their fate by undercutting the economic foundations of that barbarian stone age ideology.

I have made great progress. Just over the border, South Korea was the first country to adopt CDMA and is now the world leader in mobile Cyberspace with Samsung the leader of the leaders. The amazing CDMA phragmented photons suffuse the aether, including over the border and coming down from space via Globalstar. It will not be long before peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, fun and love reaches into North Korea and frees the gold miners and everyone else from their long-suffering lives.

The coup de grace to gold, and the absurd, horrible hunt for it, will soon come to pass. The gold-chanting will fade to a whimper and the present madness fade to black, with a new generation of enlightenment enjoying the wondrous realm of CDMA/OFDM.
