About a month here. At this point I'm doing it mostly for the fascination and education, and I'll be holding onto what I can pull in for now.

I've been  mining for several weeks  with 1000 kh/s.
Focusing on Earth Coin at the moment.
I suggest people to mine Earth, Ron Paul  and Doge altcoins because i think they have future.

my BFL 30GH/s arrived the week before Thanksgiving, Mid November, I logged into eligius and got the hasing going using BFG.  After 36 hours of mining I had earned .023 BTC and immediately sold on ebay for $400 profit @$1800.00.   I don't want this to become yet another horrific BFL story but just wish I had listened to a lot of the advice on this forum back in June when I had ordered it.   Many said, Just Buy BitCoins, and I balked and ignored.  Who knew?!?!   

I thought about mining another Alt 256 but didn't have the confidence in the others to make it worth it IMO.    I went ahead just bought 4.1 BTC and invested in 1.5BTC into LTC, PPC, XPM, and NXT to spread it around a bit.  Good luck everyone!

I've been for about a week and I'm trying to learn all I can so I can properly explain/recommend everything to my customers before we begin accepting BTC at our store. I have the extra challenge of doing this all on Macs so I ought to be pretty well versed when it's time to write the FAQ. I think there will be plenty of private digital currencies coming along from the likes of Apple and Amazon, etc, but I am sure they will not have the anonymity benefit of BTC and so doomed to be "digital gift cards" in the long run.

I'm very optimistic about the concept and can't wait to put it to practice further by fulling supporting it worldwide commercially.

I found out about litecoins a month ago and started mining them.
I'm also mining fedoracoins just because I like the concept of using them to "tip" people.

I'm interested almost exclusively in Litecoin, was going to purchase 2x 5.4MH/s rigs last week, but I happened upon this forum and found out that there 'might' be some ASIC light coin miners on the horizon, which would be much more preferable. I was thinking of pre-ordering from alpha-t but I hesitated and I think the pre-order window is closed. Rumors of a scam scared me off...There's another thread in the altcoin section of this forum started by user jasinlee that might be promising. I'm really interested in the hosted ASIC's they are suggesting for sale, I'd be looking to get into the 32MH/s 32 chip offering they mentioned. jasinlee if you happen to see this let me know, I'm a 'newbie' so I can't even PM anyone! Never been on a forum with restrictions like this, but I suppose there is a reason for it!?

Cheers everyone

A FAQ is a great idea, as most of the Mac OS mining support out there is piecemeal and all over the place. While my current mining rigs run Xubuntu, I've tinkered with Mac mining setups just as a way to play with old hardware I've got lying around.

If you're mining with a machine with nvidia hardware, take a look at the newly-released Mac OS build of cudaminer, courtesy of N@Limitt over at cryptoedge.com. You'll crank out a much better hashrate that way, but keep an eye on heat as it'll tax your hardware a lot more than others, too (HWMonitor is a good tool to track temps).

Otherwise, Asteroid, a GUI frontend for cgminer, is a nice work-in-progress and super easy to get up and running.

Tried once with CGminer, started to hog lots of RAM and CPU and so I had to kill it. Haven't mine ever since then.

Started GPU mining 3 month ago with a single 7950. Now I am at 5 Mh/s and can't stop building more rigs.

Guess it's an obsession.

I'm researching on it at the moment.  Was exploring whether to use 2 x 280X or 2 x 290 since it is about 80USD difference here (per card).
