Then they shut down and kept more of my fiat for several months.
This seems to be quite common with BTC. People like to run away with your money.Quote from: Digtop

Bought my first coin from Bitfloor -- easy enough.

Not there yet, so it is not that easy.
Havent got 1 yet 
I bought it from someone at LocalBitcoins for $143. So it was easy.
It took long enough... about an hour of mining with my old Radeon HD 5770 back in 2011. I sold it, and hundreds like it, for around $3.50 a piece. I coulda been a millionaire too 
Quite easy... mined it in half a day with ATI 5970 :p
I remember these days, wish I mined overnight with my GPU
But sleeping well was more important
Not too difficult, took about 4 days as I was getting about 0.25 btc/day from 4 x 5870, this was a while ago just before ASIC's arrived

So, how many millionaires do we have here already? haha
I'm sure there are...

I started originally back in 2010/2011, but lost interest after a few months and traded away all my coin, boy do i wish i still had that wallet full of BTC now. I think it took me just over a week to get my first one, even though diff was way lower, The hardware and software had not matured much, so that was a pain(much like some of the startup alt-coins now).
Now its nearly impossible to get any ROI without significant capital investment to start mining BTC from scratch, so I spend most of time looking for the next big thing.
This time i tell myself not to loose interest, or at least hold on to my coin this time around. Hindsight = 20/20

P.S. - long time lurker, first actual post here... lol

Bought online, though I first had to exchange my currency to EUR:P
I still trying get my first 1 BTC.
It was fairly easy, I bought it from my friend for cash
Although I now kind of regret watching the show from the sidelines for too long. But I was still lucky enough to get on board before this recent rise in value.

Luckily, I went into Bitcoins 2011. It took a bank transfer to Mt.Gox, a few days, and then I had a whole lot.
still working on making one...seems like a titanic task now...silly me was laughing at bitcoin in 2009 when it launched
I just got into bitcoin about the beginning of November. I started small, got 4 usb erupters, and bounced around pools trying to find one I liked.
Once I figured out I actually wanted to do this I bought 2 v2 blades and sold my 4 usb erupters.
Now, if I would have put the blades on bitminter and left them there I would have made a little more, but I minded zeta for a few days, uno, for a few, then went to bitparking. I made .03 on bitparking but it took 56 hours.
Now, I'm back on bitminter and staying.
It is hard to see the bigger picture when you start out, but in three weeks I made 65 usd. Doesn't seem like much, and definitely no where near roi on the blades, but I have bigger plans.
I remember when bitcoin came out, I laughed then, I'm weeping now. Sad part is I'm in IT, I should have known better. First Google, now this, damn I suck at investing. Back to the coal mines for me, lol

also wanted to get some usb eruptors and one blade, but some shit happened and don't have the cash i need for them anymore
Looks like it's gonna be a major mission for me now.
