met a guy at a coffee shop..got some BTC and some good info as well
First 'bitcoins' I got were from reddit karma exchange.
mined myself, when using a single GPU would grant one block per day too bad I wasted it all on namecoins.
too bad I wasted it all on namecoins.Just sell the goddamn namecoins. You should have am absolute ton of NMC now, if you could have mined a block a day for BTC.

mtgox got hacked i couldn´t access my account […] mtgox customer service sorted it within 20 min.
Did you get your bitcoins back from Gox?
I'd like to know that too. Back in 2011 after the hack, the mtgox account recovery process asked for some detailed information like IP addresses and exact balances, not something that could be sorted out in 20 minutes.
i did send an email to customer service. they answered within 5 min, told me i just needed username, account number and password to access my coins. i had no clue, thrown it all into the garbage bin 2 years before. no chance.
i decided it was worth to write them a lenghty email with all the information i recalled (like bank account, bank adress, month of purchase, name, adress, email, - i had to guess all of this, since i had moved, held accounts with sevral banks and didn´t really know which i was using. on the other hand, it was just one transaction and i knew it was 100 btc.) must have guessed correctly since gox customer service supplied me with my account details and let me reset password - maybe it took an hour and not just 20 min. - the 100 btc were still sitting there untouched.
i was impressed with gox.

Mined with GPU's, took some freebies on this forum.
Then spent it on game coupons and sold those on eBay
By the way one game coupon is left, Crysis 3. Will sell for 0.04btc, bought it for 0.005.

read about it in an online magazine 2011 about mtgox. i took some cash and sent it to tokyo. had no clue, had no one to talk about it, didn´t know this forum. got 100 btc just before bubble. after 2011 bubble and mtgox got hacked i couldn´t access my account anymore and thought this was a scam and i was stupid enough to throw money in. i erased everything, forgot all about it.
turned into a believer when in march this year someone told me he quit his job and makes a living through mining bitcoin. bitcoin ?? that japanese scam ? he showed me the price. my 100 btc had almost 10 folded. dammned, i had erased everything. mtgox customer service sorted it within 20 min.
