I started mining after 1 year after learning about bitcoin.

But it didn't last long, as the difficulty rose preeetty quickly.
But at times I still try. Tried... Never said it worked :v

About 3-6 months, it wasn't easy building my first rigs and getting the used Radeon cards.

Within the first couple of days in December last year on my nvidia gtx 260  Grin, eventually realised I was better off buying in because I was sure they were gonna be worth a million dollars each in a couple of days time if I never  Cheesy Bought in at $12 each with $1500

heard about bitcoin in 2010, but thought nothing of it

realized how wrong I was late last year, but took another 5 months before taking the plunge to collect some "freebie" coins.

I just started mining with my game computer.  But the Bitcoins I got are very very little.

I started mining a few minutes after discovering Bitcoin.

A few minutes after I started mining I found a difficulty calculator and stopped.
