About € 1500.

But i sold about € 4000.

I don't mine or run ponzi's, which seems to be in fashion here.
I play satoshidice all the time and sell winnings or put them in GLBSE assets.
I play with online wallets on my cellphone when i'm not in reach of a wifi
and when i'm in reach of a wifi i play satoshi with bitcoin Qt, multibit and electrum.
I have a tendency to divide my coins in different wallets, in case something goes wrong with one of them i don't loose everything.  Also because i'm curious in development of user-friendly lite clients.
I must have extracted a few hundred coins over 6 months with a growing average of 100 to 500 bets a day.
I lost 56 on the first day though.  It was my 2nd bet ever! hear me out:
I place 54 coins on 97%, i got back 56 or something...
THen i placed 56 on 97% and.... FACEPALM!

Today i extracted 35 BTC, but i had a day off and didn't even leave the house.
On an average day i'm happy with 5.( HAHA FU miners!)
I've never been a gambler but i'm kind of hooked to satoshi, it's not really gambling, it's manual mining.
(i keep telling that to myself)

can someone write a bot for me so i can has my life back please?

I decided at the beginning to loan myself money for some 5830's to get started, pay them off with mining profits, and bootstrap up from there. Now that mining is no longer profitable (for me) I've sold the cards and bought BTC with the cash. I've probably paid an extra $1500 in utility bills since I started, and now I've got a little under 200BTC plus some items I've bought w/ BTC over the past year.

My strategy going forward is to only spend "found" money on BTC... cash I didn't earn from working my regular job. If I sell off some old equipment, get an unexpected gift or refund, etc.  I'll convert the cash to BTC.

Everytime somebody buys my coins, I'm being paid for shipping in BTC but actually paying the postage in USD.  This is effectively resulting in me buying dollar-cost-averaged BTC.  Many orders are sizeable in shipping costs (e.g. Express/EMS shipping costing ~$40), and I'm certain I've spent a few thousand dollars in postage over the past year.  Since I don't end up selling the BTC, I've seen a nice little fortune just having those shipping charges appreciate.

Only about $250. I'd buy more but I don't have a computer (using my smartphone) and I'm not sure I can secure them properly.

Tens of euros, just as an experiment. Probably a few euros on electricity mining before I realized that without a GPU it costs 10x more than the return on investment.  Tongue

Wow, I wish I had the money to spend that you guys have, holy crap...

I haven't spent any money because I don't have any money to spend, lol...

Right now, my plan is to slowly build up enough money to get my first quality mining set-up. Right now, I mine between the two computers I own for a whopping (sarcastic) 42 MH/s, lol...

In addition to that I am offering photoshop and website security testing services for BTC on multiple bitjob sites like ForBitcoin, BitCoinerr, BitGigs and more, but no one has expressed any interest.

I am also selling goods on BitMit, though haven't actually sold anything yet...

After about a week, I'm at 0.13463017 BTC, lol...

At this rate it should only take me about 20 years to buy my first decent rig, lol...

In the meantime I am looking for an IRL job to help fund my BTC addiction, hopefully I can find something that will allow me to save up for a decent rig within the next couple of months...

I have a few thousand USD in BTC exchanges. I hold a few hundred dollars worth of BTC.

Me too - I'm just waiting for that magic moment when I can move it all into bitcoin. But I want to be ready.
I tend to play around with a few hundred bitcoins for speculation. Though I did once buy a few thousand bitcoins when drunk - speculation and alcohol are a bad mix.
