don't remember about that
I remember reading some article and being like that looks like an interesting concept. The more I dug into it, the more I realized it was a game changing idea that I wanted to become apart of. I do minor bitcoin mining compared to most but I still feel like every piece counts.
hi all,
I just found some articles about btc - and now I'm here!

I was looking at the payment methods for a site, and saw bitcoin as one. I was like 'WTF is bitcoin?', so I did a google search, and here I am!
Cool story of yours.
Read a bunch of articles about it, kind of silently followed the progress of the whole thing for a while, and then decided it was such an interesting idea that I had to be a part of it. Gotta admit I was preeeeetty skeptical at first though.
I became interested in a computer technology conference on cryptography. Processors are essentially "good decision-making hardware" and graphics processors are "good execution/arithmetic hardware." After looking into how many developers are switching over to AMD Radeon, because of its higher theoretical computational power over the nVidia counterpart, and the release of the 7970, I thought I would give it a start. So far I am interested improving my mining operation to run at higher efficiency to generate more income.
I found out from a friend of a friend at a tech convention.
Sounded really interesting (and moderately insane), and I realized I could commit my PC's idle time toward mining. I was also pretty psyched to find that various Bitcoin poker sites existed. It's a cool idea, and hopefully it'll pick up a little more press in 2012.

A friend of mine told me it's a good investment and that i could make money off my gaming rig. So i'm kind of skeptical to be honest. Hopefully i can get some posts under my belt so i can but some bitcoins. 
I am looking for an excuse to run a cluster
I have heard them talked about in both my political and technical circles for about a year.
The more I read, the more I like.
The technical protocol is genius, but establishment of new currency is difficult work even with the establishment is behind it.
I want to be along for the ride in a small way.

I read about anarchy and Bitcoins. Very intrigued, I must say.
Someone needs to summarize these into categories with some sort of bar chart.
I can already see a tech-corner and a "wallstreet" camp emerging...

Read about it and got hooked on the technology. Read through many threads on this site and finally registered. I have a small mining setup here, not for the big wins but just for seeing it work. Marvelous.

Well, i guess each and everyone of us has stories to tell about how we landed here.
Wikipedia. I was looking for an alternative for Moneybookers, preferably one that doesn't take away money if I transfer money or tells me to need to have a bank account.
I saw this idea from blog, and then googled this forum.
