Good GOD Bruno, you have been a member of this forum one month longer than I have and I only know of or was involved in about one quarter of your list. You really do need a full time job dude. LOL Buying and selling barn wood around the Chicagoland area is a full time job. The time I spend on here is when I'm on the shitter for an extended period of time or in the office between orchestrating deliveries and shipments. And at night prior to going to bed, like now. Another one(s) for the list: You've memorized all of Atlas's alts. You paid for a year's subscription to Bitcoin Magazine. You get a NSFW tattoo. You've never read the do-not-trust-anybody thread. I stopped following the bitcoin exchange rate actively after a while, I think it doesn't matter that much. However I still check everything bitcoin related all the time :D Same here. I hope it's still somewhere between 9 and 12, but it doesn't matter like it used to. Title: Re: You really are a TRUE bitcoiner when...

Title: Re: You really are a TRUE bitcoiner when... Post by: Technomage on October 27, 2012, 11:04:30 AM - You get banned from other internet forums for constantly talking about bitcoin. This has happened to me. Multiple times. Although it's more because I've advertised my own site too much, not simply because I talk about Bitcoin. Great thread in general, most of the points in the OP apply to me and many of the newer ones as well. The most effective marketing method for us is to simply ask merchants to accept bitcoins once you buy something from them. Always ask. This will add up eventually.

This will add up eventually. It's probably true: however, I'm usually in a rush to get out of the store and such an inquiry might backfire in that regard ;). A cool infografix-style flyer (kinda like the first pages of bitcoinmagazine issues #2 and #3) that explains bitcoin for dummies might be valuable. Title: Re: You really are a TRUE bitcoiner when...

21. Your spouse divorces you because you lost your job because you spend all your time on bitcointalk.org 22. You loose you house because of either or both of the above 23. Even though you're now homeless, none of the above bothers you because you know that the thumb drive in the pocket of your only pair of pants contains a wallet file with 10 BTC in it and this will "soon" make you as wealthy as Bill Gates. ;D (Great thread BTW!)

Wrong, son of Vibullia Alcia Agrippina. Quote Red Belt or Sash: Red signifies the red-hot heat of the Sun as the knowledge learned is now passed and nurtured to the newest and purist white belt. As a red belt student acquires even more detailed knowledge. Red is a sign of danger, and the red belt is beginning to become dangerous with their knowledge and abilities but also posses the knowledge to pass the system along and keep the energy flowing.

if the sole purpose of your smartphone is to check if your still mining (when your are not home) if you are getting nervous if you don't have an internet connection on your smartphone for seconds.... to check the hash rate if you go to a computer shop and ask the workers there how much MH/s that particular GPU has. if you then try to explain to them what you are doing with X HD7970..... (in the shop) if you start a flame war against NVIDIA Cards because of their low MH/s rate (still in the shop) if no girl can sleep at your place because it's to noisy and hot there if you need to use earplugs (orpax) to get a decent night of sleep (i actually have to to this! :D) etc Title: Re: You really are a TRUE bitcoiner when...

Seriously though, invest in good quality coolers like Shaman for GPUs, and you won't hear a thing.
