Hi, I'm Jason. I missed out on Bitcoin...read about it a year or two ago, didn't pursue it any further.  Started mining Litecoin last night. I mean, seriously, who DOESN'T love treasure-hunting?  Cheers! |

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Hey all, I'm a professional Computer Engineer who got caught up in this after being inundated with stories on Slashdot and Dailytech. Wish I'd paid attention sooner and got started mining sooner  Been lurking on the forums for ~2 weeks (before signing up). Recently got my 6870 mining at around 275Mhash/sec on my Slackware-based linux installation. I also run my unRAID array (which is awesome) on this system. Do you run your mining program on the unraid? If so, how did you manage to do that? |

I'm Ben
I came across Bitcoin first in about Feb 2012 and thought nothing of it. I saw it was only available on some Tor as a currency for common transactions and thought it would just be like the Linden note or whatever it was called. I considered investing but took at look at the exchange rate and saw it was stable as hell. I had a feeling I was missing something then.
Anyway jumped on the bandwagon on April 1st and made a small killing as I threw in a large wad of cash and sold on the recent plateau so I'm pretty chuffed with my investment now.
I'm trading from Germany but living in Asia where few people have ever heard of the Bitcoin right now....I'd predict when the Chinese get a sniff that things will get interesting.

bytecoins are not a boat. they are pieces of paint that fell off the bitcoin aircraft carrier. they just happen to float.. |

New to the forum, two weeks into mining. Hoping BFL turns out to ship something usable, but comfortably bringing in a few GH/s with custom rigs we put together this week. Here's to the network not being dominated by ASIC's!  |

Hey guys, pretty new to mining but I've always tinkered with hardware overclocking and what not so it's been second nature to me.
I enjoy the process of building a new rig and am looking forward to expanding.
I'm also active on reddit.com/r/litecoinmining (idc what you think about reddit I just like the fact that it notifies you when you get direct responses, something most forums could use)
Looking forward to some exciting times ahead!

Fairy new as well. I know what you mean about the rig building! We started tinkering with one computer and then in the span of a week (not even) all of a sudden we had 3 new riggs set up. Fuuuuuun stuff. Hey guys, pretty new to mining but I've always tinkered with hardware overclocking and what not so it's been second nature to me.

Why isn't there an option to have Jerry Seinfeld as your profile pic ?  |

Hello folks,
I've been laptop mining since last March (I've made .02 bitcoins since then :p). I'm studying economics, and the recent events with bitcoin have resparked my interest in the currency. I'm doing regression analysis on bitcoins for a school project, if anyone has any interest in this.
