A few questions for my fellow Newbies and a chance to increase your post count while burning time in this forum.

How did you discover Bitcoin?
For me I discovered Bitcoin after reading a Slashdot article about it back in January of this year.

Why did you wait until now to register on this forum?
I have been reading these forums for several months and recently I came a cross a couple of discussions in the mining forums that I wanted to participate in. So begins the quest to rise above newbie status.

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.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Discovered on reddit in April I think, lurked on this forum for awhile and never made an account until today.  Oh well, another forum to join, Tally Ho!
