Topic: How did you get your first bitcoin? - page 7. (Read 10715 times)
My first coin came from mining with a very cheap GPU. Since then got some better GPU's but I still only consider myself a part time miner.
Got it first from mining at Slush's pool. I think I got 0.2 / day and after several days passed I got my first full 1.0 bitcoin.
My first came from the bitfaucet in 2011.
I got my willy out on cam4btc and now I'm fascinated by the whole concept of bitcoin. Stay classy.
Bitcoin Faucet, like so many others. And then I mined and mined for about a month until I had maybe BTC0.50 tops... 'cause I was on a Radeon 4550. lol Maybe once you could turn a profit with that much, but I think I wound up donating it all to the EFF before I got out of mining.
I mined it, and got it deposited after about a month of figuring out my igfx wasn't powerful enough to mine effectively. Then I bought a 6870 and now I get one btc every 4 or 5 days in a pool!
i got mine from freedigitalmoney
great site with good payouts and plenty of choice

Got it by sending money via psc to vendor. About year ago.
My first Bitcoin transaction was 0.001 BTC coming from the Bitcoin faucet hosted on appspot. After that, and for a long time, all I earned came from faucets and free offers. Last December, I found an advertising network that pays in Bitcoins and decided to put up ads on my (previously non-profit) websites, because even if my servers were sponsored I like to have a little money should I need to move a server paid by myself. After that, all the little money I earn came mainly from showing ads on my websites.
I only wish I had discovered this thing of Bitcoin earlier when the mining difficulty was still low... when I started using Bitcoin, getting profit mining with a nVidia graphics card, was already nearly impossible (I got more from faucets in one month than I'd get from mining in the same period of time).

I won a few 50 bitmill freerolls on Seals With Clubs and then played cash games for a while. Before then, I had nothing but what I first got from the Bitcoin Faucet and then dailybitcoins, while they still gave a whole bitmill.
I got mine off of eBay. $6.50 or $7 per coin, but I didn't have to wait 30 days for my dwolla account to allow me to send money to MtGox.
Have not yet reached the marvelous amount of 1 BTC... still plafoning at 0.1 (...)
But I plan to post an artistic project soon in order to fix this and do something for the community
