I think most people spent a handful of FIAT to make their bitcoins in the start

You could start a minig company on glbse, using the ipo funds to buy some decent mining equipment.

Try asking around for scrap metals like copper or lead batteries. Sell them at salvage place for money. Buy btc.
Amazing how many people have old car batteries and junk extension cords laying around.

In the UK we have vans going round every week doing that.  I remember as a child seeing the Rag'an'Bone man going round on a horse an cart doing the same but for stuff like old clothes too.

Hmm, thanks.  I wasn't even aware of this.  It's like the flip-side of MtGox I imagine.

Hey guys, I was just wondering how many of you successful people got your start.  I other words, how could one go from hashing one bitcoin in 3 months at a rate of 28 Mhash/sec to running multiple rigs in the Ghash/sec range using only bitcoin?
As it is, I've found it to be a waste to try hashing bitcoin at that rate since I only get maybe .01 BTC every 3 days or so if I'm lucky, so I've been using my hardware for BOINC to help with scientific and medical research.
I'm open to suggestions if you've got 'em.  I'm on a low budget so I can't really be spending any money on equipment other than what I generate; so I'm looking for ways to make BTC.  I've taken to selling items for BTC, but it's slow going.

Can anyone offer any advice?
And what are the chances of me hitting a block with that small of a rate?
