Four hours can go by pretty quick just browsing around the newbie section. I'm not just new to this forum, I'm new to the whole concept of "bitcoins". It hasn't even been accepted by my spellchecker!

Though, I must admit, I have always found the term "newbie" somewhat derogatory. I can understand the need for a certain catch-all term, but I have rarely seen "newbie" used in a positive way. It is the techworld's new millennium alternative to the high-school gibe, "virgin".

My name is Rory.

I joined for a very specific reason. However, now that I'm here, I'm beginning to sense that this is an underground movement intent on revolution. I find it intriguing.
