G'day there,
I heard about BTC back in 2010. I really wish I had of done some mining back then instead of leaving my computer searching for aliens with SETI@Home. Oh well.
I heard about it in 2010 while browsing a game website that accepted bitcoins.. I said to myself "what's bitcoins"? I didn't think much of it so I moved on. So for the past week or so I've been reading news articles about bitcoins, and just until yesterday when it hit about 2k for a bitcoin is when it caught my attention and I decided to take notice.. Really wish I did my research earlier.. but better late than never  |

I have heard two years ago of bitcoin.
But I did nothing, and now when the price is that high I want to start mining/trading.

I heard about bitcoin around 2009 from a friend while attending uni. and was extremely interested/fascinated, so I read about them and used my PC to mine a few. Unfortunately, I sold @ around $80... Oh well, I am glad that the bitcoin stayed strong!

I started a couple weeks prior to the Silkroad stuff. I played around with both Bitcoin and a couple of different altcoins trying to get a feel for the whole thing. Settled on doing Litecoin mining and trading to Bitcoin as needed. I really should have started earlier on when I heard about it last year, but never had a good opportunity to do it.

I started after the initial takeoff around March of 2011. I set up miners on my AMD card, and was making a btc every few days initially. My how times have changed.

I first started trading bitcoins a few months back. Unfortunately the bitcoins were in a online wallet, instawallet. Instawallet was hacked and shutdown in April and I filed a claim to get my bitcoins back. But I am still waiting for the payout from the claim. So my first experience was not that great.
I am now interested in Scrypt-coins and I am mining Casinocoin, Dogecoin and Lottocoin. I earned about 50 dollars last month with a hashrate of 550 kh/s, so not bad. In the future my attention will probably shift to the more energy-efficient (memory-intensive) coins, or coins which calculations have a dual purpose (such as searching for prime numbers).
