Introduce yourself :)

[darkvivi]

Hello everyone,

I was just introduced to Bitcoin a month ago and I'm already hooked! I already got some and I'm planning to create a local exchange site for my country by the end of the year so I spend a lot of time on the forums to learn as much as I can  .

[franepa]

I guess I should say hello.

Hello fellow newbies, I am Paleus.

Just a recent bitcoin user that is trying to get his bearings.

Hello,

I'm Ion.

Learning all I can about BTC. I have a technical background, but not in the computing hardware arena.

I wouldn't mind building a rig, but with the coming advent of ASIC (I am looking to invest in ASIC!, too), I don't think it would help except for educational purposes... So, in order to get mining before the difficulty goes up tenfold, I need to purchase something for the time being.

Maybe I should start a thread as to not hijack this one.

I wish I would have listened to the guys on the Daily Paul a couple of years ago... (sigh)

Hey my name is Carl
I have been mining for about 2 months now, built a rig and started trading with bitcoins. I absolutely love the the idea of bitcoins and I have been using these forums for the immense amounts of knowledge I just recently decided to sign up and contribute!

If I would have known about the newbie restriction I would have signed up ages ago and my logged time fill up.

Hi all

Been mining now for about a month.  I have a background in computers, don't know why I haven't looked into bitcoin before.  Finding the forums have a wealth of knowledge and have enjoyed lurking over the past few weeks. Being a coin collector I'm very interested in the Casascius 1 BTC Coin.

lo all,

i was changing money from LR to STP and fees go up as high as 9%. my eye fell on the fee costs for bitcoins which were 0% so I had a look into it.

tried bitcoin client but downloading the blockchain takes ages so I now i'm using electrum.

heck, i even started mining bitcoins in a bitpool

i like the idea of decentralized payments, the banks are making a mess and the goverment involvements are to big anyway. hooray for bitcoins!

Just discovered cryptocurrencies a few days ago and decided I'm into it!! Mining Litecoins mostly for fun now but thinking about better things to do.

I'm new to board, been eyeing BTC for a couple years.  I'm now a new investor and new miner of bitcoins.  We will see how this plays out. 

As Europe financial institutions crumble, bitcoin may stand as a savior and safe zone for people who save money and are responsible with their finances.

People of Cyprus are about to get ~10% of their savings confiscated by Government: http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE92G03I20130317?irpc=932

hello, i'm a new litecoin miner 

[nioc]

Btc is useful for me because it enables me to play poker on Seals with Clubs.  Being from the US it is rare to be able to receive money from a poker site in a timely manner.  With btc it is simple and quick.  I heard about Seals with Clubs last year and tried their freeroll tournaments.  I purchased some btc last month as the price was rising thru the 20s.  I signed up here to get info when I had problems with my first transaction with bitinstant.
