You really are a TRUE bitcoiner when...

[Narydu]

I have updated the initial post. Please read.

- Your home pc, work pc, and cell phone has a Bitcoin Wallpaper...
- You think in giving your wife the 100% of your belongings in exchange of you keeping the 100% of "your SHITTY Bitcoins", as she calls them.

Your country's general populace is oppressed.

[The-Real-Link]

Haha funny, OP!  Guilty of a few of those.

Let's see:

1.  You start a Mining Op.
2.  You relocate a Mining Op to your job's office, storage site, data-hosting company, shed, garage, or somewhere beyond the bedroom / living room / basement.
3.  The cost of running your Mining Op exceeds cost of rent or mortgage or car payment.
4.  Friend: "Let's go party tonight!"  You: "Can't, I need to do maintenance on my mining rigs."
5.  Your browser is constantly opened to a pool of your choice.
6.  You have real-time, text, and/or email alerts for if your miners go down.
7.  You've watched the price fall by $2 or more, then recoup that value within a day.
8.  You've started a sell order on Mt. Gox just when your asking price becomes one penny too high at the latest sell
9.  You've started a sell order on Mt. Gox only to see the price plummet.
10.  You've kept fiat at Mt. Gox pending for a price crash.
11.  You remember $2 and were EXCITED!
12.  You've given up trying to explain Bitcoin to clueless relatives.
13.  You've not bothered to explain Bitcoin to other clueless relatives because the tech is over their heads.
14.  You've burned out mining hardware.
15.  Your pets have crashed mining hardware.
16.  You wish a graphics card company could pay you for the three weeks of profit downtime during an RMA
17.  You've lost some hearing...
18.  The drone of 80+% fanspeeds is now normal to you.
19.  You've run your own 200'+ Internet landlines for a mining op through ceilings.
20.  It's December in Michigan and you insist in having the window open.

You want to give up your job and your life and become a bitcoin missionary in Africa to evangelise bitcoin to the unconverted.

You always think on how to help jobless people by teaching them about bitcoin.

fuck, it's true.

very nice thread, liked evorhees contribution best, nicely wraps it up.

Yeah, and the best part is a few months later when they give you a big thanks

You are envious of your friends when they talk about the great games they have been playing, and you haven't been able to play any of the games you wanted to for over a year.
At LAN parties, you have the best, most powerful PC with the best graphics capabilities, and your friends are pissed at you because all you use it for is minesweeper and solitaire.

[Desolator]

when you're nowhere near a computer but suddenly feel a disturbance in the Gox

[BitLucky]

you assume every QR code is a Bitcoin address.

[BR0KK]

if you are not afraid to leave thousands of dollars worth of equipment lying in the open without cases.

if the sole purpose of your smartphone is to check if your still mining (when your are not home)

if you are getting nervous if you don't have an internet connection on your smartphone for seconds.... to check the hash rate

if you go to a computer shop and ask the workers there how much MH/s that particular GPU has.

if you then try to explain to them what you are doing with X HD7970..... (in the shop)

if you start a flame war against NVIDIA Cards because of their low MH/s rate (still in the shop)

if no girl can sleep at your place because it's to noisy and hot there

if you need to use earplugs (orpax) to get a decent night of sleep (i actually have to to this! )

etc

[ArticMine]

You get the federal government to authenticate your documents in order to increase the limits on your bitcoin trading account

...the utility company turns you in due to a spike in your electric bill, believing something nefarious must to be going on in your basement when, in fact, there's nothing Nerfario going on.

nice

[bigbox]

...you seriously consider giving people Bitcoins for Christmas and birthdays.

[BR0KK]

if you got at least screwed by one scammer on this forum.

if you are waiting to receive your true scammer sign on this forum.

[DoomDumas]

You mail site owner that you wish to donate asking why they dont accept donation in Bitcoin, and told them you'll donate and tell you friend if they were to accept them !

[evoorhees]

you assume every QR code is a Bitcoin address.

LOL this!!

[Liquid]

All your wage gets redirected to Mt Gox

Forced to sleep in another room because your room is too noisy

Think Cryptocurrency is the best Digital Revolution after the internet

Stand proud comrades

[HorseRider]

You've memorized all of Atlas's alts...

what does "alts" mean? thanks.

What's a girl?

Seriously though, invest in good quality coolers like Shaman for GPUs, and you won't hear a thing. Of course, once you're filthy rich from all that mining, you'll have a hard time keeping all the girls out, so it may be a good idea to get the noise levels back up.

Back on topic: you know you're a true Bitcoiner when you learn Verilog just so you could develop FPGA miners.
