Hello, I have known about bitcoins for a while after reading about them on a 3D printer forum. (someone thought it would be a cool idea to sell 3D prints for BTC) I decided I would buy some back in 2010 (they were about $1 each then) to fund patches to my open source software project called RapCAD. Well that project still exists, but I never got round to setting up the bounty for patches idea. Fortunately BountySource now exists and they propose to support BTC as payment at some point.
Anyway the only reason I am writing this is so that I can post properly elsewhere on the forum. So I hope anyone reading this enjoyed reading it as much as I didn't enjoy typing it
