been a lurker on this forum since may 2011 but i think it's time i can actually post something.

Mining since may 2001 too at around 600 mh/s (2 6870's)
Profit's from Bitcoin?....almost nothing
a combination of high electricity cost, selling most coins back when they were $2 and losing coins with the Mr.moon scam and Bitscalper scam 

Hi guys, been lurking around here for a little while now, with the current Intersango problems been looking for new ways to get some Coin with UK bank transfers, seen a couple of guys around here that do it in the marketplace so thought i'd give it a go

it has some neat ideas.

Hi. I'm new to the forums but I've been mining at 3gh/s for a long time. To the guy above: Austrian economics is awesome.

Well, I can't believe it, but 500 posts ago I was just discovering bitcoin. This is the first online forum I've ever invested any time in at all, and it's been a great experience. In fact, I only planned on asking a few questions here, and the name "honest bob" was a joke from the start. The first thing I noticed here was the scammery. Turns out, this forum is the most useful place for a newbie to buy bitcoins.

Bitcoin largely inspired me to choose computer science as my career; the technology is just that amazing--to think that 1s and 0s can revolutionize the way we think about money is mindblowing. Before I found out about bitcoin, I wasn't really into computers at all.

Looking back at my old posts, I am reminded of how patient the senior members here have been with all of my silly questions and half-baked ideas. I do feel I have a pretty solid grasp of Bitcoin now.

Because of bitcoin, I have learned/learned about:
-SHA, RSA, MD5, etc.

-PGP

-Tor

-VPNs and VPSs

-Austrian economics (meh)

-Linux (I made the full switch!)

-Networking

-the word "fungibility"

-IRC

-Poker

-That gambling is not wise after all

-day trading (meh)

-arbitrage

-and some other stuff

To you newbies, don't let a few rotten apples ruin an otherwise very helpful, supportive, and friendly community. Don't get discouraged! The learning curve is steep right now, but it will be worth it in the long run. Don't trust anybody (you really can't hear that enough). When you do get scammed, don't give up on bitcoin.

Thanks to all of you,
Or at least most of you,

Honest Bob.

been mining for a while, but my 3 6970 cards make it so hot in the summer, it's not popular with the wife.

Anyone have a tip for a good mo-bo & case for the 3 cards i have?  it takes a serious cobble-job for me to get the rig running (i boot a USB key w/linuxcoin) - with the case off, and 2 riser cards to the +2 6970s, as putting them in the actual mobo makes no room for air exchange doesn't really work cuz the cards are so close/next to each other.

maybe the best solution is to just run completely caseless?  I'd take any tips/suggestions as to what to do..

Hello everyone, Im new to the forum, but not to BTC. I want to start building a mining rig, so I thought I would start looking at some return on investment reports.

Hello everyone! I'm not a newbie to bit coins but am a newbie to the forums where I intend on learning quite a bit more! Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to post in the marketplace? Any help is greatly appreciated as I am trying to find buyers for my BTC's. Thanks!

Hi all, newbie bitcoin enthusiast, few ideas in mind, which I will hopefully realise in the near future...

i m fascinated with bitcoin community, i would like to enjoy freedom with buying things with bitcoins 

I'm just some new guy.

I heard about Bitcoins a long time ago, never got into it. I still don't know what the hell the benefit is.


Just lurking, looking to put my new PC to use by mining.

Hello, I'm here for some help mining bit coins as I am a real life newbie to mining. I will be posting a thread with more details of what is going on ... when I can.........

I'm libertas.

Heard and read about bitcoin several months ago, but only now I'm getting interested in mining.

Hello,
 I'm BitCoinsLOL although I joined this site cause apparently I'm not laughing anymore.

Hi guys I cant wait to start selling services and taking bitcoin as my currency. We need more and more businesses to take bitcoin and it will grow exponentially. So talk as many businesses as you can into taking bitcoin. Its good for all of us. Especially us that get in early.

Fresh and new Nice website with a lot of information I can use. Hopefully I can contribute too to this site.

You can PM after a single post, which you've obviously done. 

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new here but I've been interested in bitcoins for a long time. I finally decided it is time for me to start using them so here I am! I hope to talk with many of you in the near future.

I am very interested in bitcoin. I have not been this interested in something besides music in a very long time. I don't mind having newbie status for a very long time, but I would like the option of Pming other users. One of my greatest assets is my unflinching ability to admit ignorance. I feel like most of the questions I want answered have already been asked, and most answers make the most sense when you search for them. I am very intrigued by all this am glad I found this resource.  I'm calling myself PeacefulFreedom, I just came up with it. It sums me and my views up pretty well. I almost went with Dingusdweeb.
