Hello all.  I have my measly 7Ths pointed at pool.ckpool.org:3333.  Been here for a few weeks.  Just thought I'd say hi.  I'm a total noob when it crypto currency.  I plan on expanding my hash rate in the future and picking up more mining gear.  I read somewhere that "bitcoin is meant to be traded like currency, not mined".  Well I disagree.  I say finding a coin in a pile of blockchain must produce the same feelings that old time pan miners felt when they struck gold.  I'm looking forward to the first block.  It's all very exciting to me.  Probably because I'm a nubblet.  May the force be with us all!   
Cheers,
