I heard about it from an article about Silk Road a few years ago. I thought it was crazy that they could sell drugs online somehow, but honestly did not think much about the currency used. I promptly forgot about all of it until a couple years later when a good friend excitedly expounded on the virtues of Bitcoin and his investment in it, and I was like "Isn't what people use to buy drugs with online?". I quickly discovered that it went way way way beyond that. Now I am mining altcoins and looking forward to seeing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies' futures unfold. I am interested in other people's stories, so I thought this would be a good noob post.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Actually i came across bitcoin about 2 years ago. At that time i was like who the hell will but this virtual currency shit lol And i just use to close the tab whenever i camw across it again at that time. About 2 weeks ago i saw an article about bitcons in newspaper & how it made few guys rich. I mean really very very rich. That moment i was like "shit i should have searched more about bitcoin that time & should have mined some" But my bad luck. Anyways  |

My brother introduced me to bitcoins after the major spike in value and crash (increasing popularity aswell). I didnt really follow it until around a month ago, since when ive been scraping faucets and gambling, seeing if I can be apart of the craze  |

I might have read an article about the Winlevoss brothers a few years ago (supposedly they own a little fortune in bit coins) but I never gave this much attention. I remember hearing about virtual currency when I played Second Life for the first time. I almost bought some Linden dollars myself  |

I saw it in cable that one dude lost his password and lost worth $20,000 of bitcoin and that was around 2010 and I regret that I didn't mind it right away. If I could have started earlier I could be running few BFL already now. |
