Thanks for replying to this. I guess its obvious by my OP why I disappeared. Got distracted listening to podcasts and reddit, and trading...and IRC channels.... All bitcoin related but didn't think much about this site until I was trying to find crypto savvy programmers and kept coming up empty handed until someone said "did you check bitcointalk.org?"
Now I got lots of catching up to do. So many threads to read hahaha

Topic: ADHD and bitcoin (Read 710 times)
- I definitely had to read this one. Since I got started with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies recently, it's been TOUGH to concentrate on anything else. I'm constantly looking at exchanges, currency rates, evaluating pools, trying to get things to compile, and more.
They say that one of the symptoms of ADHD is that you have periods of intense focus that events things out with your periods of complete lack of focus. Who knows. I've never been diagnosed, but sometimes I really feel like I have it.
Something that really has helped me out in my quest for more information is to bookmark and categorize the pages that are useful to me. I can then go back and look at the categories to see where I've done my research. For example, my categories are as follows:
- Currencies (the primary sites of each currency, helpful links for each one)
- Bitcoin
- Mining Pools
- Litecoin
- Mining Pools
- Namecoin
- Mining Pools
- PPCoin
- Mining Pools
- etc.
- Exchanges (Links to MtGox, BTCe, etc.)
- Market Tracking (Coinchoose, Profitability Calculators, etc.)
- Mining
- Mining Software and Documentation
- P2Pool
- Pool Software
- Hardware (HW Comparisons, ASIC manufacturers, etc)
- Contracts (Places that sell mining contracts)
- Community (Sites like this)
- Development (Mostly GitHub links to the various Currency wallets, Multibit, P2Pool, Stratum Proxy, etc.)
- Other
- Ripple
I find that as I continue to organize what I find, that I start to get a picture of what's going on in the community, see patterns between different technologies, and learn more easily. Then I peel away another layer of the onion and find that I have to learn even more!
I hope that helps.

Are you posting a statement or are you looking for help?
Sorry, perhaps that just looked like a statement. I'm asking if anyone else in here has ADHD that would like to share how they function with the overload of information that is the interwebs.

Not sure if I can post again yet but I was curious how many others in here have adult diagnosed ADHD?
I'm curious how you keep yourself on track with work, and researching/learning about bitcoin.
I have ADHD something fierce, when I look anything up on the net, I find myself following endless links from one article to the next and usually get distracted from the original article/thread/IPO/etc and have a hard time staying on track.
Is that just me?
I know we all obsess over the Gox price and if you have started trading funds.... plenty more numbers to obsess over... its endless.
