Just checking in here, Battmann also helped me with the purchase of my first bitcoin. I was very skeptical, and he was a great guy to talk to and made the process as easy as it could be. Thanks to him, I am now far more aware of the amazing possibilities of Bitcoin. I too had the "Wow, so I actually have bitcoin? It's a real thing!" moment.  Cheers 

Hi there! I'm a newbie who wishes he had known about bitcoin far, far earlier. Ah well... Better late than never right! I would be interested in joining someone's mining group with my fairly decent PC, if that would be possible. Hit me up! Thanks.

Cheers! See you over there soon enough, I hope.

I read this thread and it is basically exactly what I'm looking for! I emailed you. Hopefully you still have one 

Man I wish I knew about bitcoins long ago. Although the recent spike in value seems crazy.

I guess it makes sense, I couldn't even find the newbie forum at first though, lol. I really just want to be able to pick up some bitcoin. Anyone near Nanaimo, BC, Canada?
