Title: introduction and mandatory post
Post by: dat.le79 on June 20, 2013, 12:06:58 AM
Hello Everyone,

As a newbie to this forum.  I did a ton of reading and research on here before making my first post.  About 11 hours worth of reading and scouring the forums.  I thought I would introduce myself.  I have been following bitcoins for about 2 years from the sidelines.  Started bitcoin mining about 6 months ago.  I work in the IT industry as a server/network admin.

I am working on finding a way to contribute to the bitcoin community.  I am currently working on a website to review bitcoin mining devices and provide guides for people to get started in bitcoin mining.  They are pretty hard to get a hold of so the site is pretty empty but I have gotten in touch with some great people from KNCminer, Terrahash and Bitmine.ch.  I am currently reviewing the recently release pcb board design from BFL(i am aware BFL is not the most liked company due to their delays).  Their chips currently use the smallest transistor and currently most efficient in terms of power consumption.  I am hoping to make their pcb design work more efficiently and get some chips probably from CanaryInTheMine group buy.


Thank you
Dat

Welcome!  Hope you enjoy your time here!   :)

Interesting insight regarding BFL's chips.  I did not know that.

Hello, and welcome to the forums. Firstly, be sure to read the Newbie README as well as some of the other forum stickies. If you plan to do business here, find someone who has a good reputation or you may also use an escrow service, (middle man). There are a lot of investment opportunities here so read up, as I will be doing the same :)

Thank you for the friendly welcome everyone!

I am a not at the point of planning to do any business.  Not jumping the gun on thinking I am able to start selling/preselling products.  Must get that board design revised with a few of my ideas and get them prototyped.    With KNCMiner prepping their new asic at 28nm, might be hard to beat.

Welcome!

I'm trying to get a loan at BTCJam, must get out of here to post it on the lending sub forum!

BTW the loan is here :) https://btcjam.com/listings/5371 (https://btcjam.com/listings/5371)

Before someone tells I'm new and not trustworthy, the loan is secured. :)
