Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Er, my bad, pretty sure they dropped it down to 5. Used to be 50, though.

I've been on for over 14 hours and have over 5 posts and I am still a Newbie, anyways...
I'm Anthony a now Junior in high-school and I enjoy programming. Currently, I know a fair bit of Haskell, Scala, Common Lisp, Clojure, Java, PHP, Python, C, and x86 assembly (specifically masm). I spent most of my time finding/writing game hacks before I stumbled upon bitcoin, now I spend most of my time betting them and mining them.

Hello,
I own redroofbp.com and hojomaingate.com near Disneyland.
I'm hoping to accept BTC for travelers, but I'm not sure how interested people would be.

Hello, I mine using an FPGA device and wanted to discuss my experience using the developer's software from this thread: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9047.200but I cant.. I suppose I can just email to thank him for his software via the address he gives at his projects guthub. Besides the point. I am not an active forum user, any forum, and this one particular thread convinced me to register at this website so that I could join that specific conversation after following it for the past month or so. I don't mean to be negative right off the bat, but this posting policy for new registered users, in my case at least, is kinda disappointing and a little annoying. Thanks in advance, if there is some moderator policy that can give me privilege to post on that thread. I promise to not be a troll, and would like to not have to be a "spammer" to reach required post count. |

Newbie here. Posted in some of the other forums, and suddenly found that the rules had changed. <wry grin> I'm planning to acquire a few bitcoins sometime soon, probably on Mt. Gox or TradeHill, and probably also to sell some books, etc. for bitcoins. The idea of bitcoin is intriguing; it will be interesting to see if it pans out.

I'm just another user who foolishly plans to gain a BitCoin with a GPU-less computer. But hope can't be lost.

Hi I joined to make a post and found out I cannot make a post  However, I do understand as spam does nothing but detract from the community. The post I was going to make was in the "mining still profitable" thread...someone was calling another poster an idiot and using the 563 Mhash/s as the reason. I wanted to point out that in the next day or so you will not earn 1 BTC w/563 Mhash/s miner rate thus who is the idiot Hi |

Hi, started just about two weeks ago, bought some coins via MtGox and I am still curious how this whole thing evolves. The OmegaTau Podcast had been really convincing me, that you guys are serious about this. Worth listening to: http://traffic.libsyn.com/omegataupodcast/omegatau-59-bitcoin.mp3 |

Hi all,
I don't suppose anybody is actually going to read this, but...
Currently mining with 4x 6990's and 2x 5850s using Linuxcoin and it's working a treat.
Next job is to install the pool proxy as I keep suffering from pool downtime :-(
Niccy.

It took me a while to even realize I was banned to the newbie forums. I have been a member since May 17th and am a frequent lurker. I have mined about 20 bitcoins so far (just letting my home machine run on a pool at night and while I am at work during the day with 1 video card). I sold a few on MtGox once, and have been looking into ways I can offer BTC purchases on a few of the small websites I run. Being stuck in the newb forums is kinda boring.
