I'm an IT guy and I am very ashamed that I never heard of bitcoin until it was in the news last month. <sigh> Guess that means I was actually too busy working, and not enough time spent on the interwebs.
Yeah, I came in late too. I just found out about Bitcoins about a month ago myself. Finally found some graphic cards that weren't overpriced and am trying to get this rig started now that people are saying it's not profitable any more. That won't deter me of course.

Hi, lurker here (it's what I'm good at) I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. Guess I'd better de-cloak if I ever want to play with the big boys and girls. I just got a rig set up with two 5770s, each running at about 190 MH/s with the stock clock configuration. I'm running on Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit) using the phoenix miner and Reikoku's excellent Autominer scripts ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19861.msg247956;topicseen#msg247956) scripts. And now the coins are trickling in. I'm now looking into tweaking the clocks.

Hi, new member here.
Looking to sell some items for bitcoins. I have found some other listing sites, but thought I should hit up this board as well.
I have two Samsung Chromebooks (still sealed in the box), that come with 2 years of free Verizon 3G service. And of course WiFi also.
When I get past the newbie limit I will make a proper post in the marketplace forum.
-Jon

I've been mining for awhile now, so I guess I can't just ignore this forum.

Hello everyone!
I've only recently discovered this amazing phenomena and cant stop reading as much as I can.
My girlfriend tells me that I've probably gotten someone else :-) and that I spend during the weekend almost 20 hours in front of the computer.
Naaah!
It can't be!
Little did she know that I was reading like crazy so I can configure the best price/performance ratio mining rig possible and placing orders to build 2.
So, imagine her surprise when I brought in on Monday the truck load of parts and declared that I am going to build data-crunching gear and going to make some money with it!
2 hrs later and I had the 2 quad-5780 machines working mildly overclocked (1.53 Gh/s each) as part of a pool that pays instantly.
Just now, I've got 2.5 shiny new BTC's in my Bitcoin (well, little bit more, but let's keep the anonymous nature of the BTC, right?)
Sweet!
Take care all!

Hello! I am in the UK and very much enjoying this brave new world. I actually came to post a comment in the Britcoin thread so I didn't have to add to their (I'm sure) already swollen inbox. But since I'm restricted, I will have to email!
But I'll stick around here anyway...

Finally can reply. Although, shouldn't there be better measures to prevent the spam?
I am a bitcoin miner, and I have been doing it for a month. I am very pleased in the direction to where Bitcoin is heading... and I am hoping it will stay on track.

When do you calculate that your rigs will pay for themselves and start making a profit (taking the power bill into account)? Wish I could afford just one of your machines
