I've been a long time BTC Miner. Finally decided to join this forum, so i can [attempt to] contribute. 

I started out with a low-end GPU mining rig, back in the day. I then happen to be given temporary access to several FPGA dev kits and was able to generate some decent BTC, before many had actual FPGA rigs.  After I had to return the FPGAs, I took a break from mining.  Since, I wasn't prepared to invest into the ASIC fiasco - certainly was not going to pre-order anything.

I am now back to hashing at 15.695 Gh/sec, mostly on alt coins on an ASICMiner Blade and Block Eruptors.

Hi Phat,

I am also a newbie. I knew about bitcoin from a post at 9gag few days ago, then I dig more information about it.
The price went double since the first time I heard about bitcoin until today. Crazy.
I am trying to get me some bitcoin. It is interesting to know that you are a miner. Have you managed to collect enough stash from your mining?
