I'm 14, and I got interested in the concept, read a lot about it, tried to mine, had a bad hashrate, bought bitcoins, gambled, won, invested, profited, having fun.

Quit gambling while you're ahead! Wink

I am, don't worry. What I gamble are small amounts. (0.001-0.01)

Where do you gamble and why there?

You are a geek if you are too early to the party!

Over 40 and I wanted a new motorbike!

In February, Bitcoins seemed to be waking the news, and I though it might be a good place to put my money if I was planning to save it and buy a motorbike at the end of the year!

As it happened, the price went silly very quickly afterwards, and I was able to take out what I had saved, leaving in 5 times as much as I had started with - so bitcoins for me now is about the potential, and eventually buying a brand new motorbike! Wink

I love the technical stuff, hate the politics, and think what we have here is possibly the 21st century version of the HomeBrew Computer Club - I'm glad I am a member! Wink

Toward the end of March. I have thought about selling my pre-order on eBay, but that's not very interesting. Of course, by the time the device arrives it may be little more than an expensive doorstop!

ok, i guess that might take some time... i'm trying the other way by having stepped into a group buy for Avalon ASICS and hoping for soon delivery and assembly by some of the specialists in this forum...
by the time you receive your jalapeno, this might work for me too...
doubt it being just a brick in the door to stumble over - at least not yet this year... Wink

I'm from the UK, over 30, and had read about Bitcoins here and there. Ordered a Butterfly Lab Jalapeno, but of course I don't have it yet. Started to get serious after the Cypriot banking crisis. Have been lurking around these boards for about 3 months now.

Oh, yes, mining Bitcoins seems a good excuse to buy cool hardware

just being curious - when did you order yours?

Or you could turn it on an alt chain Wink
