Hello all... Just a guy from Montana here.  Just now getting into bitcoins and looking to learn everything there is to know!

Ult

Hey there, I'm a CS student, and wrote a paper on bitcoins for a class this past semester; definitely piqued my interest. Looking forward to getting involved in the bitcoin community.

I am Ketamic

I discovered BTC about a year ago but had little interest. In gaining some economic knowledge and hearing BTC being kicked around work I have taken a look, and it really has opened my eyes to a whole new world of trade possibilities. I think the potential is phenominal. I hope to start trading as freely and as safely as possible as soon as possible! 

Hi, i am alwaysmining, as you can see by the name. I am here to hopefully sell some hardware and make some good friends.

Hi, I'm in the U.S. Read about Bitcoin a little over one year ago, but didn't think too much about it at the time. I have a question about Bitcoin and Mac OS X Lion, so I'll go ahead and post my question. Just browsing before I registered, and it really looks like I'll have to do more reading here than I ever did while in college! 

I'm about to invest in some of the people in the securities section, hope I come out on top...

Hello from Canada, just looking to make a bit of pocket change.

G'day...  ..

 I'm retired on a disability pension in the boonies of queensland. I stumbled upon bitcoin and set it up on a nvidia 9500GT and have been mining in a pool for about five days as a small scale experiment (6.7M/h). Today I ordered the parts to set up two little rigs running 2X6770's each.. I was on a budget and I was pleased to get everything for 1000$ AUD though I will have to lend a monitor and use an old case for one until I upgrade someones box with my old gear and get the moola to buy them.

 The plan is to set one up with windows, the other with ubunutu and see if I can get 940 M/h out of them, mine until december, and then decide if I want to splash out on a ASIC, or just use whatever BTC I've got two offset my investment, I've got a 7.5KW sine wave inverter diesel generator and over 20,000 litres of WVO, so electricity is not an issue.

 I have an idea about how the financial system works, or rather is failing to work and the emergence of alternative currencies such as the Tem in Greece and while bitcoin mining probably won't make me rich, participating and supporting it will make me happy.. not that I'm an IT guy.

 I'm just a ex-laborer, not a tech or a code monkey, and it's been a few years since I've played with puters ( I used to poke a commodore 64, in my youth) so I'll probably ask a few retarded questions every now and again when I can't find the answer in the forum. Any advice would be appreciated.

Catch you round the traps 

Hello,
my name is Jon and I'm a programmer/musician/artist.
I like bitcoins.
I'm currently working on several web design projects and a lot of game projects, one of which is powered with bitcoin as a main currency for players to trade their found 'rare' items or buy simple starter items with. I also mess about with GLBSE to see if I can make a small profit.

I hope you like me.  

newbie limitations. Need 5 or more posts and a 5 hour "logged in time" iirc.

I'm a reddit addict, student, and newbie youtuber. I'm the kind of person who wastes a little bit of his time on free bitcoin sites to get tiny amounts of money instead of getting a real job.

Why can't I post in like most of the threads?

Welcome! I hope you find it a useful place.

Hello All,

I'm a Florida based attorney and privacy consultant.  I've been interested in digital cash issues since attending the first Financial Cryptography conference in Anguilla in 1997.  I'm considering accepting BTC for services and so I've joined the board to learn more about the market and economics of bitcoin.

Noticed those all over but I'm curious to what is the best available now in terms of cost effectiveness

okay i'll checkout 5850 thank you

it's more than 3x faster

Most efficient in al specs would be the amd 5850 BUT check these little beasts http://www.butterflylabs.com/order-form-bitforce-sc-jalapeno/

3.5 Gh/s for 150 Dollars.

Amd 5850 will give you an average of 360 mhash/s and usually costs like 130 Dollars.

Hi.

I'm 420 from California.

Just got into bitmining, have an Nvidia card I understand that AMD produces 3x as fast, I'm wondering what's the most cost effective AMD GPU around if anyone has a quick answer

Hi, I'm Robert Genito
I use the online names "rgenito" nearly everywhere, and "robertgenito" sometimes. I use my real name instead of hiding behind an alias. Google my name and you'll find me, along with only a few other's with the same name.

(cannot wait to get past newbie status...)

Hi all.  I'm pretty much a newbie.  I just started learning about BTC the other day and I'm very intrigued.  Glad to be here.
