God... Been a member here for so long yet haven't posted anything! >.<... Anyways, I'm vedalken254 (you can call me Veddy) and I usually try to keep myself occupied with Video Games... Alas, bitcoin mining and RL have kind of put a damper on that but oh well. RL Funds are down and so i bitcoin mine with my single XFX 5870. But that's me... Hopefully I don't scare too many people off... I tend to be very curious and also a questioning type person. (Isn't that what curious is? XD)
Anyways, I suppose i should get back to satoshiDICE now...

Morning all.
I've been interested and reading about bitcoins for awhile now, though haven't begun mining (and probably won't as a poor grad student). I'm currently interested in the much of the mathematics, economics, infrastructure, and what I imagine (may) end up being the marketing, regulation, and law behind bitcoins. I'm hoping as my mathematical and program abilities increase I'll be able to dive into the deeper technical levels of the system. In any case happy to be on board.

Hi All,
I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to bitcoin, but I am a bit of the origional computer geek, but we were called Whizz Kids back then
. I built my fist computer back when I was nine, back then you mail ordered a PCB and a large plastic bag of components (resistors, IC etc, not hard drives and video cards) and then attacked it with a soldering iron.
I still have it somewhere, here is a link to Wikipedia if you want the spec's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Scientific. Suffice to say with it's 4bit processor and 1k ram it would require some tricky programming and more tapes (Cassette back then) than I can be bothered calculating to generate single block.
Fast forward 30 years to today, I am still a geek! I am the "computer guru" for a small programming house in New Zealand (6 Developers, 2 Management, 1 Office Girl and me). It 's quite a relaxed outfit and I am responsible for "everything technical that is not codeing", so I spend most of my days working with my servers and services (mostly linux/windows on tin and cloud platforms), going through logs and "playing" with new technology.
I have been aware of bitcoins for quite some time and have run miners every now and then just for academic purposes, I even have a few coins in my wallet.
Anyway, I was reading this forum today and noticed this post about Amazon EC2 instances https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoind-is-too-heavy-94024 and hunted around for the reply button because I have considerable experience in that area (involving running spot instances, its not only cheaper, but you can get a far better instance than a micro) and could not find it!
After that I read the board policy's and started the process of "upgrading" to a Junior account (this post).
So, yeah, Hi Guys and Gals .

Hi everyone.
Been part time bitcoin mining with a couple of GPU's for a while. Thinking about upgrading to FPGA and ASIC, but not sure if the bitcoin reward reducing to 25BTC soon will make it economical. Might give it a try with 1 or 2 units.
