Not new to distributed computing/crypto/etc, but generally new to bitcoin.

takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but
hard to stifle." -- Satoshi

Hi , I'm not here so much as active Bitcoin user. The main motivation is that you guys may meet some of spammers and fraudsters I have seen around. One of the topics on this board I found by looking in Google with following search line: 11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200 Los Angeles, CA fraud 2012 I found, among others, a posting here ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=96774.0), referring to someone suspecting a scam operation being operated from that same address. That address seems to pop up on several Whois-searches when I checked some spam mail distributors and other suspicious companies. I have also found, that several companies mask the actual contact names in Whois-enquiries, supposedly for protecting them from harvesting addresses for spamming. They use a company WhoisGuard.com as an intermediate. Quite a "coincidence" that the address of that company "WhoisGuard.com" is -surprise- 11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA 90064 ! You guys here should be very aware of that particular fraudster. They seem to run all kinds of weird and likely illegal operations. Just look Google results for the same search I used! Also - I happen to live outside U.S. and it is rather difficult to initiate investigations or file complaints from afar, especially because I have personally managed (at least until now!) avoiding of being actually defrauded by them. Maybe somebody here has not been so lucky? If you have documented loss due to any of the "companies" residing in that address, please file an official complaint! I have found at least one official complaint-site: http://www.ic3.gov/faq/default.aspxI would love to see those guys put out of business and maybe even behind bars! -poohbear

Hello, I became interested in Bitcoin about a week ago. Few days ago I bought my first Bitcoin at #bitcoin-otc. Primarily I've registered to trade, but maybe I'll join some conversations. MegaBrutal

I've been an idle reader of this forum and must say it is entertaining to follow some of the posts. I find the concept of bitcoins exciting and have purchased a part of the pie.
Lets see what happens.

Looking to sell tf2 items for BTC. Also, any recommendations for withdrawing BTC to USD anonymously (or pseudoanonymously)? I use bitfloor for deposits, but I'm not 100% comfortable with the fact that they want ID for direct deposit to my bank account.

Hi everyone. Long time friend of bitcoin here, although I haven't mined since they were $0.10/bitcoin since I didn't have the rig for it once people started hopping on board and cranking on the GPUs.
I do some trading in bitcoin and trading in many other things. My background is in finance and economics, with my "traditional" economics being mostly unlearned in favor of something that made actual sense a la the 2008 crash - the Austrian school. I'm sure I'm not alone on here.
Are people holding BTC's for the long haul? I have been holding my latest batch of about 300 since they dropped off to $5.00 a pop last fall. That first run up was amazing, and it looks like we are going to get at least a few more dollars out of this latest rally. P.S. If you want live updated charts for Mt. Gox you can use the gox feed through Sierra Chart, all the way down to one minute bars. Very handy (although you have to pay after you've used up the 2 weeks trial period).
