I am an anarchist and keep my money at home. Not the safest place.
I first heard of BTC 2 Years ago mentioned in a Ted speak. But didnt bother getting into it until now.

Its still very young and I hope, despite all dificulties it becomes a success.
Keeping my money safe from government and banks is a dream come true.

In the long run though, every government is going to ban the exchange of real money to BTCs. Tragically it will allways stay underground.

Hi peeps

First post to introduce myself:

I am in the UK and heard about bitcoins for the first time recently.   Possibly interested in mining at some stage but at the moment don't think I have the hardware to earn enough.

Mainly I'm just generally curious about the whole thing and interested in a different way to invest (/gamble).

Joined the forum because I want to find out more before I risk any of my hard earned cash!

Hello,

I first mined 50 BTC using a CPU back in the early days, lost it, then bought a GPU miner with 2x5930's which has mined almost 50 so far. I've also purchased over 100 on Tradehill. Now I am getting into FPGA mining  Smiley

Hi! I'm Andy. I love the bitconin and just started mining!

After some research I settled on;

MSI 890FXA-GD70,
AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz,
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series 1200W,
1 hd radeon 5970, 2 hd radeon 5870's and (i plan on purchasing another 5970 at some point hence the 1200wat psu),
2x4GB HyperX Genesis 4GB DDR3-1600MHz,
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Mid Tower

Currently running at 1420 Mh/s! I have done some overclocking but the cards were bought second had so i'm going to have to replace the thermal gel on the gpu itself to get better results.

Cheers!

I figure I can help you guys out a bit. It is really easy to get whitelisted or become a real member at least

Try to make meaningful and on topic posts. I know that it can be hard in the newbie section, but try. A lil tidbit here or there can go a long way.
Leave your browser tab to the forum open over night. Doing this builds the time 'logged in'.
Don't spam. I was whitelisted in one post because it was a good post and a mod was watching. You don't just want to say, "Hey I'm new and this is post X" on all the boards. That isn't cool.


I hope this helps you guys, and I'm sure what's been said has been said before.

Good luck, and happy mining.

Or if mining isn't your thing, happy trading, selling, conspiring, speculating, or whatever Bruno calls what he does.

The genius with which Bitcoin has been created is noteworthy indeed.  Merely an hour into learning about this currency, I've thoroughly researched it and believe it to have a strong chance to gain a significant percentage of online transactions within the next 4 years as people become disillusioned with fiat currencies.  Kudos to all of you working to help make this currency a truly viable alternative.  If any of you need an editor or writer to assist you with public interaction, PM me such that I can assist.  And thank you to the community for ushering in a new age in universal economics.  I look forward to working with many of you in the future. 

Not a bad introduction.  Wink

I'm a guy who is working now almost 10 month with Bitcoin.
I have technical knowledge in various fields.
In recent years I have self-studied for the first time our monetary system.

I've installed and optimized for myself and friends some larger mining rigs.

A guy who sleeps in a refrigerator box behind a dumpster told me about bitcoins. He wasn't very coherent, so I googled it, and ended up here.


Hey, I might have been that guy!

Been mining with 8x HD 5830s at 900MHz and a pair of watercooled 5970s at 950MHz. Shopping around for more cards and this seems to be the clearing house.
