they do the same here in the usa. i'll bet its bound by income bracket. if you or your family make over a certain ceiling of income, you're ineligible. be careful though. scam potential is big with this stuff.

I've heard a website like this that is a scam, but you CAN blag a Macbook if you've got dylexia, 100%.

Even if you don't think you have it, give it a go.

I think you're making a huge assumption about miners and being quite insensitive.
