It's been a while since I first heard about Bitcoins.  I had to look up a chart from this Wired Article to figure out when that was.  It looks like I first heard about them around July 2011.

I was on PokerProsNetwork back when it was on the Cake Netowrk (site went to crap lately, different story).  They had a chat room and this guy ThundeToe was telling me about how he was buying up some high end video card to mine bitcoins.  I can't remember how we got started talking about it.  Probably he was bragging to me about it and I naturally was curious.  I remember him talking about $20 and $30 bitcoins so that puts the date around July 2011.

Anyways, somehow I learned about SealsWithClubs.org (now it's .eu), maybe from thundetoe, maybe through a google search, and I figured, what the hell, this could blow up big.  So I was playing their winner take all freerolls every hour.  I would stay up late when there were like 6 people playing so I could win 0.05 BTC.  Then I used those profits to play the half hourly which had 0.1B or maybe it was .05B Added, I can't remember now.  It wasn't long until I had a bitcoin, then 10, then when I got to 50, I was pretty pleased, that being a block reward.  I used to say, "I have Fifty Nifty Bitcoins".

I got up to about 96B, I don't think I've hit the 100 mark yet, but SWC is a great place to win bitcoins.  I looked into mining and of course I was put off by the capital outlays.  I'm interested in trying to buy bitcoin bonds, I want to put some of these BTC to work for me.  I was gonna buy a $100 Kroger Gift Card with my BTC but I changed my mind.  I really want to reinvest these things somehow.  But as far as the bonds go, it looks like a first come first serve thing, and I've missed the boat so far.  As they expand their mining operations, I hope to be able to buy some.

Hello all, pwnorbownd here, BTC Miner startign his long journey to easy BTC with a 6850 to eventually snag a 7970 for my current gaming rig and the build a x3 or x4 6770 rig for BTC mining only. Hopefully going to get to know alot of people on this forum as I eventually start to trade my BTC finds in the next few years.

I started about 6 days ago when I saw a newegg review about the Mhash of a 7970 I have my eye on. Ever since then I've been hooked and running my GPU @ 890 Core 300 Mem for a whopping 227 mhash/s. (I know, sad right.  )

Finally found a forum for hardware nerds like me

Hi All,

I have just purchased the first components for my rig, lets see what trouble I can get into

Cheers

Crazyates here. I got a small Trifire mining rig. Started with a 5830, then added a 5850, and finally added a 5870, all on a 990FXA-UD5 in an Antec 300. My biggest issue is the 5850 in the middle has the worst cooling, so it gets throttled by CGMiner. Having a fan blowing right on the cards helps a lot, but I recently lowered the voltages. Lower volts = less power = less heat = less throttling = more MH/s! Yay me!

Saving up my BTC for a 2nd gen bulldozer. This is a Trifire rig, so I do play games as well

Hello,

I've been using bitcoin for over a year but created an account just recently.
I'm looking to trade virtual items and cd-keys for computer games using bitcoins.
I've done so successfully using pages such as ogrr.com but want to broaden the audience

Thanks,

[cst]

Hi All.

I've been lurking the forums for some time and finally decided to post something useless :p
I find the idea of bitcoin fascinating. And thanks to that for the first time in my life I'm actually learning about money, economy, stock market (already buying on glbse :p) and related stuff ;)

Also: NO, I'M THE BATMAN :P

Been lurking in #bitcoin-otc for awhile and just completed my first purchase.
