Hi all, been lurking for too long. Consider me a fan of our new age.

Hey guys! New here, as well as to BTC.

Hello world. I'm eager to spread the word and am glad for bitcoin gaining momentum.

New to bitcoin, came across it on TOR and piqued my curiosity. The more I learn the more I like it. Looking forward to see where it goes.

First post!!! Huzzah! New to here! Crypto FTW.

Greetings.

Been lurking for far too long, thought I might as well participate. Hello people!

Hi all,

new to BTC but I really like the philosophy. I have yet to purchase any but I'm considering exchanging silver for BTC.

The biggest thing holding me back is that I am not from a computer programming background. I do not have the foundational knowledge to understand much of the things that can keep me and my BTC safe.

I do not know how to keep a wallet safe whether it be a wallet stored and backed up on disc/usb/paper or online.

I do not know how to conduct transactions in a manner that will not expose my IP address etc. (if this is even a concern)

I do not know how to keep my machine clean and free of malware/loggers etc other then having avast installed and running on my machine, I do not know if this is even enough or worthwhile.

I consider myself an average and possibly above average layperson that can use a computer.

I think BTC has a huge potential in revolutionizing commerce/civil liberties but perhaps the greatest impediment to it's adoption is the things I have mentioned.... along with an entrenched/lack of knowledge of monetary systems and economics.

Each day I know more then the last but my knowledge is so fragmented that I am having trouble putting it together. I have been doing lots of reading (here and the rest of the web)trying to understand whats needed to keep me safe but there seems to be a lack of a good repository of  information understandable to beginners/non tech savvy. Whenever I search for information I find something that seems to discuss it and it either gets sidetracked or discussed at a level beyond my understanding....

trying not to get discouraged..

Thanks

Learned about Bitcoin recently, I hope it's not too late.

I am a computer/semiconductor professional (FPGA,ASIC,SoC), so have some background on implementing algorithms similar to Sha256. Also I am fascinated by the idea, I think it will have huge social and economic impact, which most politicians, economists, philosophers, bankers haven't realized yet.

Hello,
   I am not really new to Bit Coins, however I have never been much of a joiner. I am learning that People really do help each other out, and display patience, and caring in the forums that are run with common sense, and respect. I am happy to have joined this forum and hope I will learn and contribute. One other thing I joined today was "Charity Ad" they said it was necessary to post my Id so I will comply: 719016-675df290c0b3149c38fa70f61d9a19e0

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. Still grasping at its potential.

Hello all, happy to finally join the community looking forward to the future of bitcoins

HELLO, i'm portos!

Hi.  I am glad to have joined the forum.  I am a sotware engineer working in the San Francisco Bay area.  I mined bitcoins for a while about a year ago and am getting back into it again.  I'm thinking of purchasing an ASIC miner but sounds like it will take months to acquire. 

Greetings.
I've been getting into my local bitcoin scene as well as playing around with satoshidice, anonymousads and such and such.
Looking forward to getting involved in the community here!
