Hi everybody,

I've been reading this forum from time to time for a couple of months, and registered today.

Hi, I joined this forum to be able to learn more about bitcoins.

[carcar390]

Hi
I'm carcar390 and I've been observing the bitcoin scene for months and I feel that being here will help me be part of that. I'm looking at learning more about share dealing where shares are sold for bitcoins as I'm hearing more about people who are interested in investing in bitcoin as well as being a savvy trader.

I feel that I know more than to newbie due to my experience with finances and the bitcoin scene. I'll be looking to sell shares directly on here so that I can build a successful mining company using re advanced technology such as FPGA,ASICS whatever comes after that to make use of the advances bitcoin has contributed so far on the scene.

The above links are such examples of what inspired me to consider giving bitcoin a chance to me build a successful company.

So if there's a reason to get me out of newbie status,make it these ones due to my acquired knowledge on bitcoin,I  know the basics of using a wallet and sending and receiving bitcoins and plan to add bitcoin a part of my portfolio.

How do you sell shares on these forums? As I'm currently trying to get to grips with GLBSE at the moment.

[kernelmanic]

Hello everyone. I am kernel manic.
I am normally happy and witty and wonderful to be around.
Right now, I am morose and concerned.

What is with all the waiting periods and 30 day this and 2 day that  -
the unavoidable waiting periods that no exchange mentioned when taking my money.

I am not trying to buy guns. I am trying to use _my_ money to buy Bitcoins.
Are Bitcoins that dangerous?????

Ok - I hope I don't get banned for complaining in the newbie section.

But since there is a waiting period here as well - or a wading period?

I am into the ocean, sailing, scuba, computer security, jazz, blues, electronica, dancing, food, privacy, activism, etc. etc.

My research interests until now have not been related to bitcoins or digital currencies and virtual  economies.
I was more into the relationship between information, noise, random play and the ability to
confound predictive demographics both in the real world and in the digital world of big data.

I am looking forward to reading the 300 pages of newbie posts over the next 30 days while I wait... 

I have already seen that some of you have your own ideas and are implementing them in business or
on your sites, or where-ever.
That is inspiring - I'd like to see where all of this leads.
I have some interesting plans, but I am a bit too private of a person to go into detail here.
I could contribute some great things, if I am ever allowed in the pool.

Uh, Why?  The newbie section is the only place that you can post for the next four hours, it's not the only place you can read.

Hello

I've been using Bitcoins for about around 3 months, I find the concept of crypto currency very interesting and useful, I like that they are not monopolised by banks and don't have regulatory overhead.

[cuebit]

I'm not new to bitcoin, or this forum. Well, long enough I had the newbie restriction removed. I simply didn't use my account for about a year and apparently can not remember what it was! Or did the forum change in some way over the past year? My prior username was something like qbit or q_bit.

Yes, bitcoins are that dangerous - to the person selling them. Because bitcoin transactions are irreversible, and all other means of electronic payment aren't, the seller is at a very high risk of chargeback fraud (ie, you buy bitcoins, then after you receive them you call your bank to reverse the payment, leaving the seller holding the bag) when you pay electronically.

If you want to avoid jumping through all sorts of hoops to get bitcoins, you must pay cash.

Thank you!

So, Bitcoins incur a higher risk of chargeback because transactions are not reversible.

I may have to get that piece of information tattooed on my forehead.

If any exchange or wiki - that I happened to read in the last 2 weeks -
had simply said or posted that,  I would have immediately understood.

I have heard that bitcoins were problematic because of chargebacks.
I _assumed_ that was due to anonymity fears and the like.

I also probably read that bitcoin transactions were irreversible.
But since that concept is hard to believe/understand - I probably did not get it at all.
Maybe I assumed the irreversibility was a hashing thing and not _economically_ important.

Anyway, I guess I have to really dig in and read some documantation here...

Touche'
But  - I did not mean that to be so sarcastic.
I am  looking forward to getting to know the community.

Hi everyone.

I'm still reading up on everything Bitcoin related.
As a programmer myself I love the concept and have started my little laptop down the road off it's first bitcoins.
Once I've fully understood more I'll be making my first purchase to something a little more dedicated and useful to mining.
The really high-end GPU are really tempting. Maybe a home movie system that has a dual purpose, not like I'll be watching movies 24/7, but I could still bit mine 24/7, with a really good GPU. Anyway thats the plan for the first one.
