Bitcoin Faucet, like so many others. And then I mined and mined for about a month until I had maybe BTC0.50 tops... 'cause I was on a Radeon 4550. lol Maybe once you could turn a profit with that much, but I think I wound up donating it all to the EFF before I got out of mining.

Got it first from mining at Slush's pool. I think I got 0.2 / day and after several days passed I got my first full 1.0 bitcoin.

My first coin came from mining with a very cheap GPU. Since then got some better GPU's but I still only consider myself a part time miner.

My first partial bitcoin was from the faucet. As for a whole one, I got my first one from an exchange.

The first Bitcoin I got was from a guy at another forum, he was giving a very small amount of Bitcoins to people who completed some offers for him.

The zorgberg is an enthusiast and wannabe miner/trader.  Still working to achieve some bitcoins and waiting for a better graphics card.

I mined it back when you could still mine bitcoins with lousy hardware. Too bad I lost interest shortly after.

I still haven't gotten my first coin. I'm hoping to get some via person-to-person trade, since buying them via Dwolla -> other service now takes 30 days; I don't have 30 days!

I might just start mining them with a computer lab  Roll Eyes
