For 500 bitcoins today!!
Seriously, I've been a graphic artist on Macs for over 20 years. Advertising, design, logos, flyers, print and web design (no websites though), and would gladly sell my services for some bitcoins.
By the way, how do I know how many bitcoins is a reasonable charge for services like that? In the real world, I charge between $15 to $30 US dollars per hour. How does that convert?
Thanks in advance.

I've been searching for a while and can't find any one document that explains all to newbies. Does anyone know? And I have zero money, in here or the real world. How can I get coins? Someone said mining, but what was my GPU. Well, I'm on a brand new mac G5 with 1 terabyte hard drive, 8 gigs RAM, etc. but don't know where to find info on GPU usage. Can someone explain?
Also, I've posted several times and this group is the only one I can post in. How do I enable being able to post in other discussions?

Please let me know,

Thanks in advance,

Hey all. Someone who I was doing some work for turned me onto this site. I like what I see so far. I assume it's a form of electronic money and/or bardering? Is this correct? Then, I have no 'real' money to buy bitcoins and looked up mining. Could someone please tell me thoroughly how to get started? I can't seem to find any documentation either.
Someone please explain to me how to get started and moving and gaining some coin. Or direct me to a link that explains it all including mining.

Thank you so much in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

I've been doing some lurking...getting a feel of things and still can't quite figure out what bitcoin is. I have an idea, but many of the posts I've read in the 'newbies' (shit, first time I'll been called a 'newbie' in 100 years) page seem to be pretty useless gibberish...have yet to come across anything that explains exactly how to go about using this.
I was talking to someone this morning about writing/designing their site and marketing materials (I was a writer/graphic artist in a previous life). We were talking politics, religion, music etc. then he sent me a link to bitcoin and said I might be interested.
Well, so far, if I'm thinking is correct...then I'm interested.
Let me tell you what I've gathered. This is more of a site where you gather 'electronic monies' or 'barder (trade services or do services for bitcoins)'. Am I on the right track? Please explain.
As well, being on disability and working part-time, I'm flat broke. How do I go about advertising my services (writing or design: logos, flyers, print or web media, press releases, start conversations on forums, head/moderate forums, etc.) for bitcoins or something else?
Would someone please explain or at least guide me in the right direction? No smart-ass obvious remarks please...I have a sense of humor, but only if it's funny and not mindless.
Thanks in advance.
