I'm relatively new to this whole BTC thing, but have been doing some trading mainly on localbitcoins for a couple of months. Luckily I had taken a break just before the big crash of a few weeks ago so I didn't get hit, although I could have made a lot of profit if I'd timed it a bit better, but then again couldn't we all.
Also got a couple of miners running on Slush's pool. Currently 6 x 5870's in two machines getting just over 2GHashes/sec. I'm gambling on this whole Butterfly labs thing being a scam and investing in second hand GPUs - let's hope it's right!
So that's me. What about you, fellow newbies?
