First post on this forum,
I'm a 40 year old european programmer, studied digital electronics but worked as an embedded programmer to make cash and now write apps for mobile devices. now self employed.
Got turned on to bitcoin a few weeks back. I am attracted by the fact that bitcoin is the first hard contender in cryptocurrency.
All previously computed "easier" blocks are convolved with more recent "harder" blocks so in this case the chain becomes as "strong" as the strongest link, which is nice and in my mind makes bitcoin as hard as f*ck!
Ordered a 60GH/s asic box from BFL a few days back to add to security of the network with the hope of recouping my investment over the lifetime of the box.
I think this is still the "early days" of bitcoin and am happy to join the network.

Just another guy continually banging his head on the table for getting a hold of bitcoins back in 2010. I remember thinkin "I should really get aboard this... meh, maybe tomorrow"....
quit headbanging, i think it's still in the "early" days. bitcoin has global potential because information wise it's VERY strong! When it does become mainstream you'll still be sitting pretty. but yeah if only we could get a time machine to get in earlier  |

Hello  I'm interested how bitcoin can work for poker. I've thought about this, bitcoins inherent hardness cannot be taken advantage of directly in a multi-client game. you'd have to implement your own security on-top because the game is not pre-determined. Like with the dice game it's easy because you just divulge hash before game gets played and so the game becomes transparent and easily audited by any joe and the system is as hard as bitcoin currently stands. But with poker you'd have to use SSL or something, so you couldn't directly take advantage of bitcoins hardness, but it would be do-able. i imagine it would be a stressful system to mantain though as hackers like to collect bitcoins over other currencies. |

Hello World! Thought I should join! My interests are long term, it seems to me that bitcoin has ticked enough boxes for me to take it seriously. I was using the internet in the early 90s and always regretted not getting a business off the ground in those early days. I don't want to make that mistake again! I have plenty of opinions but also built a good grounding in business and economics over the last decade - while i can see some big problems ahead for BTC, I think now is the time to get involved to help do the same to the banks that mp3 did to the music industry! Anyway, I'm in the UK - if you are interested!  |
*Image Removed* I use Localbitcoins to sell bitcoins for GBP by bank transfer!
