Title: Woot just got my first Bitcoin ever in my Life :)
Post by: mybadomen on February 14, 2013, 11:17:26 PM

  Just a bit excited and i wanted to share that thanks to you guys on this forum i know own my very first Bitcoin ever. I still cant get any other GUI client to work right so it appears i will only be using 1 Pool forever which is Bitminter because there GUI client works flawless. In time and help on the forums i am sure someday it will be resolved but i everytime i shut my miners down to play with clients i lose allot. well for me its allot.

 Anyway this is more of a celebration as i am super excited to finally own one more then anything and want to thank everyone that helped me get started. I have no idea what to do with the coins i earn yet but i would like to pay for new hardware with them eventually.

Take Care guys and thanks again.


Here it is .My very first ever Coin !!

congrats!
might i suggest running a VM and playing with the clients in that? I personally use the default Qt bitcoin client, works nicely.

and anyway, doesn't matter where you run your client, as long as you have a way to manage your bitcoins!

Bad advice. You want to keep hoarding your own coins secretly while convincing others to spend them. Otherwise if everyone just keeps sitting on their coins your million coin phantasy will never come true without an economy to go along with it.

I hoard a few coins, I spend a few.

Laszlo paid BTC10k for a couple of pizzas. That was one of the major early catalysts of the bitcoin economy. People are using their BTC and this fledgling economy should continue to grow. The fiat exchange rate will still fluctuate wildly: I know not whether we are currently in a true bubble - today's situation is so different from June 2011 - but the price could well retrace to the $10-$15 level, at least for a little bit before exploding again.

I'm contemplating online business plans and what I can do to help this wonderful new economy, and hopefully profit on the side.

 Lol that's guys . for the Humor and the help. i looked through my transactions and it seems i earned the coin in 3 days but 1 machine was down half that day. i have 2035 total mphs right now from running 2 small machines so i am hoping that 2 to 3 days sounds about right to earn a coin.If not i will over volt the cards further and push them harder as they are still running practical speeds for being on water and can go much higher but im thinking to high i will be putting more cash into replacing hardware then profiting. Regardless im just proud to be part of the whole community and Bitcoin world where not government can screw with what i earn as in real life they take everything from me.


Take Care and Thanks again.
