Hi,

I hope i'll be one of the mob members that takes over the world 

[PatrickHarnett]

username kind of says who I am.  Based in New Zealand and having fun reading the flames of the Mt.Gox disaster - those people should be welcomed to the real world if they think getting regulated exchange protections from a market system like this.

Hello.  I'm a miner, only a few weeks old.

You know, I realize that slapping a GPU into a mobo isn't that tough, but I have to say I'm pretty impressed.  Were you at least weaned off of breast milk before you got started?

And you're not impressed that I can speak and type English?    Shit man, I became an astronaut at 10 days, this is easy.

lol, I wish I was that good.

Hey guys, been mining for about 3 days now.  Just decided to join the forums!

Hi all, great community. My only problem is the heat from the mining rigs and the electric bill

Hello, Nathan here, been watching bitcoin develop for about 5 months now and very impressed and finally got around to getting money in a method where it's easy to trade.
look forward to the development of bitcoin

[bigcoiner]

hello,
just joined to learn about bitcoin.  lots of info here.  so much to read.

thanks,

I discovered Bitcoins  just before the price doubled, from the Gawker and a couple of other articles. Since then I've been following this forum, including the "mining" threads.

I've researched the costs of building a mining system, not so much because I'd expect to make a lot of bitcoins with the ever increasing difficulty, but because I'd like to have my own desktop supercomputer: I've been researching trading systems for stocks & commodities and while alpha can be quantitatively achieved, it requires enormous number crunching capability. The solutions I was considering before didn't include GPUs, now they do.  Building a bitcoin mining system might be an easy introduction to GPU computing. Right now I am trying to understand the programming resources available for Clear CL vs CUDA, ATI vs. NVIDIA.

As an anarcho-capitalist I love the idea of bitcoins, and a bitcoin economy; but I can see many barriers to widespread adoption. For now, and for a long time I see it as a plaything for hobbyists, a vehicle for speculators, and as a medium of black-marketeers. Perhaps when the US government finishes Zimbabweizing  the economy and the currency people will turn to bitcoins, and it will then be a life-saver for many.

Yooooo.... Whats up everybody. Glad to be here. Lots of good info.

[hiponion]

hey yall - big into this!! this rocks! (i think its safe to say)

I am fairly new to bitcoins.  I am currently working on a website to promote the use of bitcoins and to share information. 
Bitcoins are the most exciting thing I have found in a while (after sex).   I am trying to dive in and understand all I can and help promote the platform.

Hi all,

My name is Jean-Serge, I just want to say hi to all, even though I've been lurking around for a while. My specialty is in Flash action script game design and had a gig as an ASIC design engineer for a while. My main interest in this new currency is mining and I aim to work on create a low cost power efficient ASIC to mine bitcoins. Because it seems that as the network increases processing power as a whole, it becomes cost prohibitive to cram a lot of servers in a small amount of space. I know it is being attempted by several people, but I will try my best.

On my spare time, I write games for fun. Now that bitcoin is out, I plan on implementing this currency into the game.

I'm very excited to become a full member

Greetings from Zaphod Beeblebrox!

Bitcoin is being considered as an intergalactic currency. Will keep you guys posted on how that goes.

[Danxor]

Hello, I am a new miner, I was trying to get in contact with [Tycho] to see if he could help me troubleshoot an issue I am recently having with Deepbit but it seems I can only post here right now.

[Threepwood]

Not of this Earth, just like the Beyovians

[naypalm]

Hello I'm new to Bitcoins. A good friend of mine first told me about it and how people are mining for digital "coins" thru their GPU. Ever since I have been lurking around on the forum and wiki pages to learn as much as I can. I have a measly Nvidia 9800GTX and have it OC'ed to the max at 41Mhps. Hopefully I will contribute more often as I get to learn more about the genius of bitcoin and the programming behind it all.

Hey Folks,
I'm in the process of starting up a weekly podcast covering news, discussion topics and interviews in the bitcoin world.

If you're interested in helping, an adult (or at least act like one, I don't babysit), drop me a PM and we can talk in more detail.
