You asked for it.

Another newbie introducing himself.
I recently learned about Bitcoin, now I am trying to find out more.
For now, this is all basically a kind of MMORPG to me, does not seem too real. But that might change.

About me: Engineer, old enough to remember the cold war and 8-bit-CPUs used for general purpose personal computing.
Currently involved in wireless applications, used to work in the ISP business back in the 90ies.

Three year ago I suffered from a relapse to an old addiction and so I am using Macs again :-)
Currently I am struggling with the binary Bitcoin client which keeps crashing on me - and that is how I found this forum.

The client downloaded from bitcoin,org crashes at start immediately (segmentation violation signal at address 0x40, very strange) but it seems that the version installed over Macports does work.

I'll keep on it and report back.
