A forum I was trying to register for required a bitcoin payment.  Had heard about bitcoins prior to that, but never really looked into it.  There is a ton of info on this website, so I am glad I found it.

Read about it in a magazine, though I don't recall which.  I work in cryptography, have a background in law, lean slightly libertarian and consider economics fascinating.  Perfect fit.

I've actually known about its existence for a year or so, but I only recently downloaded the client and started researching it.

I saw a TV show on it on ABC, and it kind of piqued my interest.

Well, I'm really into "security" news etc.
I've read articles about some hacks where vast amounts of Bitcoins have been stolen, until then I did not really know what Bitcoin is,
so I started to dig deeper and deeper...

And here I am.

My first real bitcoin disclosure was from episode 287 of Security Now in February 2011.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQPSwA2Itbs

I don't watch the show regularly, I just happened across it.  Within hours I was mining with my Core 2 Duo CPU & a Radeon 4870.

10 weeks later, I was running a 4 g/hash mining farm.  Smiley
