I started programming with BASIC, when I was just a Kid.
My Dad introduced me later to C, C# and C++ in my teenage years with what he did at his work.
I use mostly PHP now a days for building websites. Occasionally I dabble in the C languages for games and apps.

The apu gpu is good but still nothing compared to a discrete gpu
I agree, but if you planning to use a laptop on the move, you do need something which can reasonably last more than 1 hour at full power without the power cord connected. An APU (A8 based laptop), can last many hours, even running at full power. Most power hungry laptops, with discrete cards, are not capable on lasting that long on just battery if you using them to their full. |

That would be more powerful I agree. Just a lot more expensive, so what is your budget? |

Since you seem to be a fan of using Ebay, I'll add another link that way. I'd recommend an AMD processor based Laptop (A8). They undervolt and/or overclock well, as I have 2 of the same series. This allows you to have the power when you need it, but when you don't, allows for a very comfortable low temp for long term use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-HP-ENVY-dv6z-Laptop-AMD-Quad-Core-A8-4500M-1-9GHz-/111036773475?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item19da4eb463They can run very cool, they undervolting/overclocking tools are very easy to use (k10stat). Also you can mine on them and if you just want to do them as a hobby that is no problem, it handles it fine, without over heating. I'm not suggesting it can mine very well, but if you want to do that, like others have suggested you'd want to go with something more designed for it. |

I recent got 1, I use it mostly for XBMC so far, but I've also experimented with using it to run my FPGA's.
Once I got a bit more free time, I'll acquire more of them, so I can single purpose them.
I'm sure once I got more, I might have some fun running a simple home file server.

Great idea, will be nice to also add to wiki's once a more complete list is formalised.
I do have a bitcoin project or two in the works (Slowly) which would require cooperation from banks, so knowing which ones could dislike bitcoin in general would help in choosing which one to go for.

I believe I made friedcat aware of all the trades necessary, with each bidder cc'd in them.
This was a good first Auction.

33 sent, TX: 8bc9048b912e217c6aaf4643847c6561486930aa67eb4110f1ee5f5b062431ab
Thanks qwk. I'll make friedcat aware to complete the transfer. |

Other 2BTC paid. Total of 3.3BTC for 3 shares. Thanks for the auction.
Full Payment received I'll inform friedcat. |

I find it unlikely "local" currencies will ever be replaced. I just see BTC as a universal currency system, ideal for international trade.
Local currencies will always have their place, banks and governments will never give that up, they have too much control over it, while little to none over BTC.
The masses might adopt more use of BTC and that will be a good thing, but the monetary system for now will remain will always remain in one shape or another for the above reason, not everyone will change over.

Thank you for letting me know. |

With almost finished wrapping up my auction (just waiting on friedcat to confirm them and 1 payment).
What BTC address is a good place to send a tip to you friedcat for helping out in this?
|

|
|
*SSB has made partial payment and given a deadline for full payment. Friedcat and all winners whom have paid or Escrowed have been CC'd in with communications to transfer their shares. |
|

|
|
Thanks for explaining that.
I had an "Eh?" moment when I saw it come in.
I'll update my list once it is paid in full.
|
|
|
|
I've sent out PM with the winners CC'd to Friedcat confirming to do the transfer for those already paid. For those wanting to keep tabs on payments being sent. |

It appears the following have already paid directly:
aahzmundus (40 Shares)
vortex1878 (5 Shares)
