Thank you all!!!

I am being from Europe. I am here because I like the idea of a truly international currency without the pretence of claiming reserve backing or other illusion. I have done some of bitcoin mining. One day I hope able to be buying my lunch in bitcoins

I hope I can help Bitcoin grow to its full potential with new investments, businesses and a loud voice!

Here's to a bright future.

Hi All,
  Joined P2Pool several days ago, now here's my first post. Looks like I'll need to burn 4 hours scouring the forum to see if anyone had already posted a solution I found last night while traking down a high orphan /DOA and rejected issue. Gimme a while to look for it and if not, wohoo, I get a second post.

New to the block

just started getting into the bitcoin swing of things. I am saving up for an ASIC since that seems to be the way to go. I am excited to be a part of the future of currency exchange

Hey everyone,

Long time 'lurker', first time poster. I've been a fan of bitcoins for a while and I've finally decided to sign up, so I can speak my mind about different topics. I'm a 25 year old student/business man, currently located in Luxembourg (originally from the Netherlands and have lived some time in the United States).

I'm a web developer, programmer and I hope to design some websites in the future that will take us, as a community, and the bitcoin 'industry' further.

Regards,
TheInventor

I'm JDB.  I first heard of Bitcoin from a reddit post back in June of 2012, or maybe What.CD a little sooner.  Back then, I tried pooled mining with MtRed, but expected an immediate return (lol).  I decided to try again last November, but moved on to bitparking's pool.  As of now, I have roughly 0.8 BTC in my wallet and hoping to save up for one of Casascius physical Bitcoins.

I didn't know about those. Thanks. I'm thinking of getting one too.

Good luck! Not sure about everyone else but I am intrigued...

Hey all,

Been lurking for a couple of months, decided to start posting.

Learned about Bitcoin a couple of months ago and I'm kinda late to the party considering the reward change and the impending difficulty hike from the ASIC storm that's a' comin'. I was all fired up and ready to build my own FPGA grid from something like spartan 6 chips as I was learning and I quickly ran into this ASIC wonder that's coming. Kinda killed the whole hobbyist/enthusiast deal by replacing it with a box with a light on it bu hey.. things move along.

Well, hopefully I can be of some benefit to some here as well as soaking up whatever info and tips I can.

Have a good one guys.

Hello, testing to see if I can post

[just1nmc]

Hi guys, bought my first bitcoin about a week ago, but I've been interested for a while. Trying to get ahold of some more at the moment
I'm also selling my iPad 2 for BTC if anyone is looking for one.

[kosmokramer]

I'm just trying to post a reply in a LTC thread. What do I have to do to make that happen? I've been a registered member forever!

[Donairsauce]

Hey! I'm Donairsauce.

I love the idea of a universal currency and hope that this will have more mainstream applications soon!

Probably you collect posts

[logicbomb666]

I'm logic.

I started mining with a cheap $40 GPU last year once I first heard about bitcoin.  Was interested and thought it was cool.  Left it alone and stopped mining to play video games instead.  Got a decent 6950 for video games and started playing PC games only again for the first time in over a decade.  Then during January of this year, a buddy of mine asked me about bitcoins at a party one night, so my brain turned back on. 

I spent some money, built a rig w/ 3 5830s and have it running in the closet.  Once it was running and stable, I then looked around the internet, found this forum, found out about ASICs, pre-ordered a BFL product.  And basically im still reading stuff about bitcoin as much as possible and trying my hardest not to spend more money on a better rig or on any other products available for pre-order.  Everyday it gets harder and harder to not through money at hardware.

BFL have massive supply chain issues. Right now you are looking @ june if you ordered at ASIC rig right now. And by then it'll be all too late, as the ASIC miners are entering the market now and bumping up the difficulty bigtime. Check out the chart. See that spike to the right? Yeah, that's right. ASICs. Lots of them. See that squared red line? Yup, that's the difficulty level - and it just jumped. And will keep on doing so until you receive your BFL. And by then it'll be all too late. Buy your way into coins instead - that's your best shot right now.

I am comfortable with my order timing and the fact that I probably wont make any real profit.  Nevertheless, I still like buying and tinkering with hardware.  Even if it does end up as a continual uphill battle to play catch up.  Still fun for me.  Thanks for the info though, Its basically the same thing I keep reading all around these forums. :-D

Hey everybody I am R33FR and have been on the forums on and off for a while and I am ready to start discussing topics now. I usually have discussions just through networking with people on IRC etc. so I am not new to the bitcoin bandwagon you could say

[k22k]

Hi everyone

Been using bitcoins for the past year and love the concept as well as the technology behind it.
