Howdy!

I've been followin' BitCoin for a few weeks now, and I'm interested. I'm very open to a cryptocurrency but I'm terrified that this isn't going to be the one that 'sticks'. Either way, I'm willing to start getting into it.

I'm really hoping to meet some local bitcoin folks and see what kind of services I can offer them. I have a welding torch, a plumbers wrench, a multimeter, and a ton of small appliances.  Usually I work off USD via craigslist, but I'm gonna start taking BitCoins for all my small sales as well. I hope I don't regret it, and I am super nervous about how I'm going to calculate value of physical objects for BitCoins; but I am not relying on small contracts and sales to keep myself fed and in rent so the risk might be worth it.

Now how many bitcoins is a geodesic dome worth?  HRMMMMMMM......

Hi, I'm here to insult mt. gox constantly for the complete ineptness of it's owner, his failure to do anything reasonable to protect his website, and to beg Kevin to keep every last dime he can get a hold of in the hopes that pathetic excuse for an exchange gets tanked and the owner is left destitute. That is what he deserves.

Hello, brand new to the bitcoin world but intrigued on using them to bet sports. Would love to mine, but I doubt it'll be worthwhile with my current computer situation.

Look forward to learning more about BTC

Hello everyone,

I am here looking to find more information on Bitcoin. There seems to be a great deal of information that can be found within this forum.

[MrTuffles]

Hey everyone! Decided I would get into bitcoins a while back but never did, but I'm back now! Huzzah!

Hello!

[koinnabber]

Hello, I have lurked in the shadows of your site for some time, recently I wanted to reply to a thread when I realized that I didn't have an account...

So I made one, went back to that thread to see that someone replied with what I was going to say...

Have not had the urge to post since then...

Then, I decided that I want to use my VPS to create my own pool for some computers I have mining litecoin (as it seems that every pool I join gets issues)...

That brings me here, Since you know my background, here is a little about myself.

I mine LTC and I collect BTC, I believe that crypto-currency will be the way of the future for people who don't want to be tracked on every purchase.

I think that we as miners and users/believers can create a great community and drive the economy in a new way that has not been seen.

I hope that I fit well in the community.

Thank you!

Hey all, I've been lurking since Jun 09 (when bitcoin.org still had a forum!) and decided to make an account a while back, hope I can get into the discussion soon.

Hi, everyone,
I am watching bitcoins for couple years, really did not expect it to go THAT: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts high
I know linux,hw,c and stuff, if somebody needs anything, just let me know.

I just set up a p2pool+bfgminer+MSI7850 mining 227Mh/s,but stale rate is 33% - isn't that too high ?

Godspeed to all !

[WishIStartedSooner]

I am an idiot, and made my own thread for this purpose.


*bangs head against wall*

Now that I reread the thread I don't think I understood the difference between speculating and investing when I wrote it.

I now permit you all to laff at me.
