Hi,
I got interested in cryptocurrencies and block chain about a year ago and my excitement has increased with the increasing uses and general adoption. I decided a month ago to attempt some mining as a test and have just received my first Antminer and an Ethereum rig (6 gpu unit). I also have a Litecoin miner on order and am hoping to see what it can do.

Its a lot to take in, what with deciding on hardware, what to mine, which trading sites, what wallet, which exchange, whose mining pool, etc. I am taking things slow, testing the waters and attempting to understand such a large and exciting world.

Im sure everyone has their opinion and I enjoy seeing the diversity of opinion. I think blockchain tech has implications for a lot of what is centralized in the world today. Looking forward to plugging in and observing what happens.

I'd like to scale if things work out. Being a part of making decentralization more mainstream would be great (you can likely sense my libertarian leanings). I'm also from an area that benefits from a positive delta between US and our local currency. And cheap hydroelectric power rates...

Any helpful pointers are appreciated. I'm no ones fool but differing perspectives are good to help guide the way forward.

Glad to be a part of things and looking forward to being part of the conversation.
