Hello everyone!

I am from Anchorage, Alaska due to the military. I am enlisted in to the United States Air force and work on the f-22 Raptor weapon systems for a living. I just finished my degree in electrical engineering and already hold a degree in aerospace engineering with a minor in astrophysics. I hope to bring some new designs to the commuity after grasping the full concept of bitcoins and such. I am also an avid coder I've been writing c++ c and c# codes since 1997 when Ultima Online was released.

Other then my profesional information I was born and raised in Indiana and moved around many times due to education and work. was born in 1989 and enjoy building and designing things.

I currently do not own any equipment but looking to build my own any advice would be highly accepted. I've done plently of research but you can never do enough.

Thank you for letting me be apart of this commuity

Welcome !

That's right, researching and studying are never enough, in criptocoins there are some concepts that takes time to understand

Good luck!

Apart from CryptoCurrency have u ever tried 3D printing technology ? As U r in military, it might interests U. U'll probably like to see this video of 3D printed Gun => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DconsfGsXyA

[Daengineer]

Yeah I've gotten into 3D printing I've been doing it from my house since 2009. During the huge scare of Obama banning ammo and 30 round clips and such I had boom in business because I have many, many files of clips for different guns and had a pretty long life span.

Thank you everyone been looking around a lot through out the forum I hope to get to know you all well.

Welcome

If you are planning on acquire your some bitcoins, then will I suggest that you start studying how to safely store your bitcoins, this knowledge is essential for using bitcoin.
There are numerous threads about the topic on the forum.

Thank you for you advice that is one thing I haven't began to think about yet. I was many focusing on the hardware at first. I think I am just going to purchase a small device to start out with before I take the plunge.

Well, you basically just need a PC to have a bitcoin wallet.
https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Personally I use bitcoin core, mostly because I feel comfortable with this client, and know how it works.

Smartphone will do too, but only for small amounts (day-to-day micro payments), for that I use Mycelium.

If you are planning on holding large sums, then would paper wallets be worth looking into, here can you use e.g. bitaddress.org (but download the page and run offline).

[Daengineer]

I just started looking into "cold storage" I think my preferred method will be this since a majority of the bitcoins I do collect I will be sitting on. At least this is the game plan with my current knowledge.

I just started looking into "cold storage" I think my preferred method will be this since a majority of the bitcoins I do collect I will be sitting on. At least this is the game plan with my current knowledge.  

Personally I have 3 "levels" of wallets:

1. Hot wallet (day-to-day spending, both workstation PC and Smartphone).
2. Cold wallet (dedicated PC only used for bitcoin, only turned on briefly when transaction is needed)
3. Cold storage (paper wallet, never spend)


There are more secure schemes than this, but for my use and amounts, is it sufficient.

[Daengineer]

I am not well versed in the economics of the bitcoin so currently I don't understand having a day to day wallet. From what I understand is in a way it works like it's own stock exchange.

Well, bitcoins have different use. Some have them purely for investment some use them as a currency.

Personally I use my bit coins for trading, buying/selling collectable coins and precious metals.
I can send funds directly between Europe and U.S. in matter of seconds, and the transaction only cost me a few cents, no other financial system can currently compete with that.

A typical transaction for me is to buy goods from e.g. a U.S. based seller, once he receive payment then will he ship the goods to me (or vice verse).
The bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so if I do not 100% trust the seller, then will I use an escrow for the transaction (that both buyer and seller trust).

[Daengineer]

I do like collecting as well. I may end-up doing the same thing
