I am Mike in Ohio. Just build a mining farm in the basement. 6 pc's with 4 6870 in each. Going to expand it once I can sell off some of my BTC to pay for the first 6 pc's. Had to put in a couple extra dedicated circuits because I kept tripping the one I was using.

Wow, so roughly what is your initial investment and how quickly are you hoping it pays for itself? Just a newbie hoping to get some ideas.

Here I is. I just checked out some fiverr-style gigs at a brand new Bitcoin site called Forbitcoin.com It's got the fiverr feel only sellers get paid in bitcoin. Anyone see anything similar to this? http://forbitcoin.com/

Hi, just saw this post and I bet I have to introduce me a lil. I am a long experienced coder in php / perl / C and my favorite: ASM (on windows) I am also computer security specialist who work for a firm at Quebec City. I also do online marketing since 3 years now and I'm really happy to discovered bitcoin. I just discovered bitcoin about a week ago and I think this is probably the best project ever launched to change the way people do business on the net. I have a lot of new ideas poping into my head, and I already took action into building projects. my ideas are (not complete list): - food for bitcoins like bitmunchies but easyer for Canadian people to buy their foods. - Escrow service for bitcoin, protect both buyer and seller, as I saw there's only few and buyer can abuse a lot of guys selling goods. I already launched this service so far, I don't know if I can post URl but I don't see something against it in the forum rules: so here is the bitcoin escrow service: http://www.btcrow.com . The service is operational and all was tested. - I also think that all we NEED in life must be able to use the bitcoin system so I'm preparing more things soon. This is a quick introduction of me . Thanks for reading.
