Newbie alert...!

Just wanted to make my newbie post, say "Hi" and all that gubbins. :-)

Cryptocurrencies fascinate me - I'm a geek and a techie, as well as being rather liberal in my political leaning, so the idea as well as the chance to play, tweak and geek sits well with me!

I have a single 7970 and did a bit of mining of LTC back in April. Didn't really go anywhere, and I stopped as the bottom fell out of it and the heat here in the UK picked up (and the room my miner was in had a high ambient temperature and nothing much I could do with it). The day job and life took over, and I did nothing with it really.

A few weeks ago, as Bitcoin hit the news again, I started looking back into it all... Had a small play of mining LTC, WDC and CSC again, and am hoping that Santa brings me a nice shiny R9 290 or two to play with. :-)

I've been lurking on bitcointalk.org for months... Thought it was about time I joined the throng!

MITS
