Hello, I'm a total Nebie to Bitcoins, but I'm very interested in it as an alternative currency and also the fact that it is relatively new.
Having said that there seems to be a lot of drama that has already happened. I'm sure to have a good few questions over the coming months, so please bear with me. (I'm still try to get my head round how this bitcoin mining works.)
Drama?! On an Internet forum? Never!

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Been following Bitcoin for a good while, have some long-term holdings. I've done several trades on bitmit and elsewhere, loving it. Been lurking around here for a while; mainly interested in development discussions.

I've been lurking a while, learning what I can about trading and enjoying the Bitcoin community. Time to start contributing back.
I'm mostly investing in companies on GLBSE at the moment.

Hi folks,
I figured it was time to try out this cryptocurrency thing. I'd like to say "thanks!" to everybody that's put work into all the software and documentation that's floating around here; it's not been terribly hard getting things working.
I have some software development experience (C, C++, Python, DirectX11/DirectCompute, a little OpenCL, on Linux and Windows) and some applied math education. If anybody can suggest anything that would be useful to the cryptocurrency economies, I'd be glad to help out when I have some spare time. (Small projects would be good for now--this is mostly just a hobby at the moment.)
Thanks! Max

Welcome. Just take a look in the Services subsection to see if there's any projects for your skill niche, or stroll around the Development & Technical Discussion to see what you can add on. That would be invaluable.

Hi Guys,
I guess its a necessary evil to be confined to the newbie rooms. How long are we sidelined here for ?

Hi everyone, I've been using Bitcoin for almost a year (my oldest transaction dates back to August 2011), but I only decided to register on this forum now (even though I read a lot of threads as a guest, to keep up with the news). I'm a web developer with a few more or less successful websites which I present under the name "tny. internet media". I developed an URL shortener that also shortens Bitcoin addresses (among many other features), and I plan on adding more Bitcoin/Litecoin-related features to it soon. I also try to get other people to use, promote and accept Bitcoin at their businesses and websites

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts. Anyway, welcome, everyone!
