Title: Long time lurker, first time poster
Post by: palmface on April 22, 2013, 05:05:16 PM
Hello!
Just making my first post to introduce myself here. I've been lurking about for a couple years now and figured it is about time to say hi.
I do a little mining of the various cryptocoins and also a smidge of trading. Glad to meet you all and let's have some fun!

I've been a lurker for quite some time as well. I am a software engineer/web programmer... crypto-currencies fascinate me!

Nice to meet you  guys :)

I also love the idea of cryptocurrency. While I am not a "True Believer", I am a believer in the concept and promise of digital currencies.
I recently made my first purchase of a real-world item with BTC, a new monitor from bitcoinstore.com and the process was almost as painless as ordering something from Amazon, so that has me very excited.

Welcome Palmface and all.

I lurked for months before I even joined this forum.

Alternative payment methods is my interest that made me find this place.

Got blown away with the idea of Bitcoin mining but I am a total newbie on that subject and will need more time to learn. It fascinates me but it is way over my head. My interest in this is for fun only.

I love the Bitcoin culture. :)

I too have been lurking a long while.  I knew about BTC years ago and thought it was a cool idea but a) Didn`t imagine it would get as big as it has done and b) Was really busy with life and didn`t pay the attention to tech news that I normally did.  I wish I`d gotten into the mining back then, but who doesn`t!?

Anyway, now I`m very interested in both the long-term project and the potential short-term profit.  I don`t know where and how far BTC and other cryptocurrencies can go, but I am very interested in watching - and overall, I`ve been extremely pleased and surprised with how welcoming and helpful the BTC community has been.

Hi all. Lurking is that what I have been doing for 2 months now? Though this is my first post I have been keeping up with the AM thread as well as several others. Should have signed up right from the beginning... probably would be a hero member by now.

Lots of lurkers who register latter.

I was no lurker, I mean, I knew the site long ago, but never visited daily, only after major changes in the Market to read opinions.
Registered because it seems like a good place to buy/sell btc

I have been reading posts on here for a few weeks.  Just bought bitcoin right when it started to skyrocket.  Hubby told me about them months ago but he was cautious until there seemed to be some traction, and the news that there was going to be some regulation for money laundering. Wish we would have joined sooner, of course, but we think it will take off in the next few years.

What regulations are you referring to?

Hi palmface,

I've been a lurker for a little while too. I'm more into the developer side, looking to build services for bitcoin.

Nick

What kind of developing? I'm a web developer looking to get off the sidelines as well.

I'm looking for some novel services that leverage what bitcoin does, that hasn't been able to be done before. See here:
