Hello,

I am a US economist with bachelors degrees in Economics and Psychology, a Master's degree in Operations Research/Statistics, with an MBA finishing up this Spring.

I have been watching this project for some time, and I think that I can help BitCoin overcome its current and future challenges. A currency with the properties of BTC presents many excellent opportunities for new businesses, macroeconomic insights, tracing the public's adoption of a new idea, etc.

Hoping to get out of the newbies box ASAP so I can do something a little more technical...getting people around here to stop complaining about "deflation" (with a funny video or graphic or something) would be quite an accomplishment (alas, the decentralized BTC relies too much on "network externalities" for us to abandon the public education/marketing campaign any time soon).

(The way things have been going here in the states, though, people will be complaining plenty about INflation in the near future)!

: )

Ok, so im the text-book definition of Newb, nublet, noobie, newbie and any derivative therein....So, i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to a guide maybe built for someone new to the culture of bitcoins in its entirety?  Maybe a bit less technical stuff to start out with?  It would probably help significantly in getting someone as new as myself started!! Thanks!

Hello everyone! I'm new around here, not very new to BTC (relatively). I've been mining since early 2011, but recently got into p2pool mining. I'm very happy that there is a dedicated forum for bitcoin, and I'm glad to be here.

Welcome to bitcoin  Smiley

To be honest, every time i've wanted to reply (and couldnt due to having 0 posts), I've done a few basic checks (logged in? etc) and then scratched my head and moved on.  It would be a good idea IMO to put a *very* bold and prominant message on new user signups, to let people know why there wont be a "reply" button until they make 5 posts.

Hello everyone!

Just now started learning about bitcoins and bitcoin mining.  Still have a lot of un-answered questions but I have all night to read up on it and get everything set up on my rig for GPU mining.  Better get started on that now.  Tongue

I've been lurking for a long while now....to the point I don't feel new, so posting here due to restrictions.

I have (4) 5970's and (1) 6950.  From my experience Windows 7 with 8 GPU's and various drivers from 11.6 to 12.1 did not yield as high of a hashrate of just 2 5970's or 4 GPU's.  Overclocked them to 830/300 getting 386 m/hash per core. If I put all 4 5970's in place with same settings hash rate is around 200 per core with I9 cgminer not sure what the difference would be. Not the power supply, running 1300 watt single rail with powered extenders in open frame rig. The only way I could get more out of the 4 5970's is to use -I d switch with cgminer but that only got me to 340 per core so decided to put only 2 cards in place per mainboard.

Fun times.....
