Hi everyone, Mike here. Long time reader first time registerer. Actually thought I had an account for a long while only to find out I never actually registered (or got pruned for inactivity?)

I'm Rishodi. I'm a libertarian philosophically and a software engineer by trade, so Bitcoin quickly captivated my interest when I first learned about it ~2 years ago. I've been a long-time lurker on these forums, and I can occasionally be found on /r/bitcoin as well. I figured I should make an effort to get more actively involved, as I strongly want to see Bitcoin succeed.

Ossum. I'm a libertarian as well, and want to build a seastead, ASAP, but rather than software engineering I'm a literary writer type Tho I want to learn programming soon too.

Hello,

I've been reading through the forums for a few months now. A friend of mine told me about btc in 2011 as a novelty we both ignored. I worked in SF for a bit for a tech VC in 2011, I recall becoming more interested and asked the resident tech admin and he roundly rejected the idea. I'm now on the east coast and made the plunge with a friend a few months ago, increasingly I'm looking to become more invested in the community.

Best,

I'm Ben. I develop software and am setting up a 4.5 TH/s mining op with my business partner. Here's a super basic talk I gave a few weeks ago as an intro to Bitcoin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBekhTHZNsU. I'm also just getting into Ripple.

Hello! Not sure why I am here or what I am doing. I thought someone said free money so I came running, lol!

Hello everyone.

I am a student with the following history:

I have an associate in computer networking (microsoft),
Bachelor in Secondary EDU (Math Major, English Minor)
and currently getting my
Master of Applied Statistics.


I read about bitcoin a long time ago but didn't 'get' how to set up everything and gave up relatively quickly, especially seeing the return being horrid with the evolution of tech. I am pooling right now with Slush working with my OpenCL GPU HD 5870.

I have over 2000 shares in the current block. I have no idea if that's good, terrible, ok, etc.

I apparently barely got in the last block and got some minor unconfirmed btc coming my way.

I was wondering,

do I have to mine until a block is complete, or can I stop mining and still get credit for the shares I have? I was poking around the forums and I noticed people being upset that they were DC'd during mining and lost all their credit/share/etc for a block.


I have ordered a Jalapeno as well, and currently am not sure about using it on my own or stay with Slush's pool. I am thinking the Pool for steadier income.  I don't know.
I am also hopeful that BFL isn't going to fail on me (as I've been reading on the forums).


Soooo. There's all that.

Just need that one question answered, cause I don't want to risk letting go of them shares.

I love weed and I came here for the free bitcoins

[Muhs]

I've been lurking the speculation subforum for a few weeks now, and I just found someone willing to buy TF2 items for BTC, so I registered so I could PM them.

[svenp]

I've recently discovered the world of BTC and am continually blown away by the many applications and revolutionary potential.  Sucks I'm too late for mining profitably though... that would have been nice.
