Topic: How did you guys get into bitcoin? (Read 9275 times)
over 18 month ago when PayPal was getting on my nerves with their policy and keeping in transactions for 21 days. Since this wasn't only happening to me on the usual l33t boards the talk came to Bitcoin as payment method and I liked the concept from the start.

Was reading a review of AMD video cards on bit-tech and in the comments section someone mentioned Bitcoin. I was like what the heck is that but then after researching for a bit I got hooked. Now I am up to 8Gh/s and still going. 
My cousin first told me about bitcoin minging the way he told it got me interested so i decided to give it a try and i already want to expand and make more haha
My friend asked if i had any bitcoins. I was like 
So then he told me about it. And i was really interested. Now 6 months later i only use bitcoins mostly! Haha

i read about tor and all the stuff u can buy there
I've been researching it for a while before I decide to take a dive into to it myself. It looks like a good way to start investing. Even though I know it's not guaranteed.
Some one asked if i wanted to swap money for btc, i was like wtf are btc
I'm pretty sure I saw a post about bitcoin on reddit/a gaming forum I frequent.
Stumbled across bitcoins while looking for a VPN provider. First thought to myself, "what the hell is that? Looks to complicated." Then a few weeks later paypal did something that totally screwed over my ebay buyer account that had a perfect score. Now I'm sticking with the bitcoin bandwagon until the end, for better or worse.
Friend at work got me into it. Strange, really, considering when you tell others to start mining it just increases difficulty (however minor it may be). He probably doesn't like that I already have 3x the hashing power.
i saw a report on youtube for about a half year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROxs3D17SOc)
I read about it on some underground forum where I stepped accidentally because I was looking for some guide how to protect myself from hackers.
Where there also people here became successful with bitcoin?
My dad owns a few buildings on Montreal's south shore, and one of the renters disappeared off the face of the earth, He had a mining operation going in one of the spaces that used to be a printing company. Until the space gets rented again I can use it to run all the equipment. Once it is rented I need to find a spot for everything, but I am not too sure about the power requirements. Once the weather starts to warm up I might start selling things off I just hope the price of 5870 and 5970 series are still worth about 175$ and 350$ each.
I have been doing this for about 6 months now and am using my own private pool and things have been going great.
I love the chalange and the tweaking, learning Linux is an eventual task i will get to, but for now strictly windows 7.
The hardest part is keeping my day job, with this easy money coming in its not the easiest thing getting up and starting work at 4 am.

I heard/read about it a year or so ago and recently (last week) stumbled on it again. I bought some coins to test out and love it. I see it as an investment and also a way for us to change internet money transfers.
Good points. It would be cool, though, to see a system where mining would be profitable for everyone willing to run the software. That would be the most badass network ever. Our grandparents would be running it.
That would be cool, like unicorns who crap skittles. Think about it, if mining is profitable no matter how inefficient you are it's endless free money and all resources on the planet will eventually be dedicated to it.
It's wonderful as it is, the amount of resources dedicated depend on the worldwide demand for the system and the supply is anyone who can provide the service we need cheaper than average. To me it's more magical than (impossible) free money.

I was looking for a way to do microtransactions online. Most solutions out there require a US bank account, which I don't have.
