Please add me as well.  Thanks!

Trying to get an idea if its worth mining... how many coins would I expect to get with a rig composed of 5 290x (which usually get around 4.5 MHS on scrypt) cards per day?

Trading volume has also increased significantly.     This is looking to be the new litecoin replacement!

VTC is moving on up  

Is there a MAC client?

Meuh6879,

I was referring to the fact that he can't reverse the bitcoin transaction and get his bitcoins back due to a fraud.  This is still a problem and despite being optimistic about bitcoin's future, I would still not use bitcoins to purchase anything yet.  With my credit card, I always have the option to dispute a charge, but with bitcoins, I do not and the transaction is irreversible and my sole reliance would be on the merchant's honesty.  If someone steals my credit card and uses it, I am not liable for the charge.  If someone steals your bitcoins (which is what happened to OP and myself), there is no recourse and you are completely screwed.  Overcoming this issue is crucial to mainstream acceptance of bitcoins as means to conduct a transaction. 

Wookiedoo?   Honestly, this sounds right out of a future SouthPark episode parodying bitcoin. 

I'm getting this error when trying to cuda on my Mac:

Reason: Incompatible library version: cudaminer requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 7.0.0

What would be the best rig setup to mine this coin?

They can also reverse it and freeze your account here in the US as well if they suspect fraud.

I also got scammed and lost 4.2 Bitcoins which I purchased a month ago at the higher prices (wiping the majority of my savings   ).   This is why I'm being extra cautious with who I deal with now. I just wish there was a way I can get those 4.2 coins back even if it means earning them in some capacity.

But I agree, this is a HUGE issue for the community and this is one of the major barriers preventing widespread adoption of Bitcoin.  Everyone likes to complain about the big banks and credit cards.  But, the very least, you have FRAUD PROTECTION with credit cards and you can reverse/dispute transactions as well (if you get screwed over by the merchants).  It's a scary thought to think that with Bitcoins, you don't have any of that.

I just bought a ton load.  If this works out, Vertcoin will be the fulfillment of Satoshi's goal of true decentralization.

Interested

I would be in for 10,000 NXT.

mac wallet?

I would say invest half in bitcoins and use the other half to build rigs for Scrypt mining (which is still profitable).  This way, you don't put your eggs in one basket. 

I'm in the same boat.   I've submitted my paperwork to MT GOX over a month ago and it still says that it's reviewing. 

How long does it usually take for US customers that are verified to withdraw their funds?

Kind of curious.. So far, the people I'm seeing into that are into bitcoin in any capacity (trading, investing, rigbuilding, developing, programming) are like 99.999% Male.  Any female bitcoin enthusiasts out there?   

Is there a client for Mac?

Facebook.  It allows me to get in touch with international relatives much easier as well as reconnect with old high school/college friends.
