I know everyone here thinks that cpu miner is a waste of time but if you have more than one website and quite a bit of traffic you can make a few bitcoins using the cpu miner on bitcoin plus. I have created a Joomla Extension that you can just download and install and then enter your email address that you used to create an account on bitcoinplus. If anyone is interested.
The download link is here: http://www.sanantoniocomputerrepair.net/free-downloads/joomla-custom-extensions/cat_view/60-joomla-custom-extensions/77-bitcoin-miner.html
Thanks,

been active since last month and im buying radeon cards, sell my nvidia cards LoL
Just somebody who thinks this concept is awsome! Doing my part with a simple 5770 but it works... 
I'm your father, Sky Walker.
I'm a PhD student studying computer security whose strapped for cash. I'm hoping the price of bitcoins doesn't drop too much more so I can earn a few extra bucks.
Hey everybody! nice to be a part of the forum! I'm still new to bitcoin. I've been mining for a couple days with a single ati5830; I'm not making too much yet, but hopefully in time I can get a second card, and eventually upgrade to a more powerful miner.
I've been making some bitcoins doing little surveys here: http://www.freebitcoins.org/12676. I'd say its been the easiest way to make coin for me. Anyways I hope to learn some stuff here and hopefully one day I'll even be able to contribute something.
Hehe, oh and if anyone ever feels like helping a brotha out, by all means send me some coin (I'll pay ya back someday, promise
)

Hello,
My name is Rob. I own a music school. Someone was interested in finding out if I would start accepting bitcoin as payment. I said that I would be willing. But I am having serious second thoughts. So I thought that I would come here and try to figure this out. I am completely new to bitcoin and there doesn't seem to be anything out there to guide a merchant through a step by step process of being able to deal in bitcoins. I am not a computer engineer which doesn't mean that I'm not intelligent. But I am not interested in all of the technical stuff that I find on the net I just want to know how to use this stuff in a practical way. I don't need to know how money is printed to accept it. But what I have found about this system so far seems to exclude people who are not seriously into computers. If a currency system like this is to grow there needs to be a way for merchants like me to be able to learn to use it in a practical manner.

Hello All, just dropping a line to say hi (and to increase my post count), been mining for a while with Slush, nice stable pool i have found.

Greetings to all. I'm new to this forum and to Bitcoin although my wallet has had a couple of coins to rub together for several weeks. LOL
I'm looking forward to seeing how Bitcoin grows. I see a coming collapse of our economic system and think this is the best alternative. Now I've just got to convince my wife that we need to put some serious money into it. However, I'm not going to put all my money in one basket, at least for now.

Can anyone let me know if any other wallets are safe to use or am I better off
sticking with a reputable exchanger (though I hate juice)

Are you asking about using an eWallet for storage of your vast bitcoin fortune, or for just a small part of it?
The best way to keep a "savings account" is in an encrypted, offline wallet. I wouldn't keep my coins at an eWallet or an exchanger unless I wanted to attempt to trade for profit or unless it was convenient to keep a small amount of money there for day-to-day spending purposes. But I'm paranoid.

How do you currently accept payments for your music school?
If you're working mostly manually (no computerized point of sale or accounting system to worry about), head over to a service like MtGox.com or TradeHill.com and create an account. You can get paid with bitcoins at that account, exchange them for USD at the current exchange rate and get them sent to your bank account without ever installing a single piece of software. There are some additional details, but that's the easiest manual method.
Keep in mind that bitcoins as a currency are volatile, at least for now. This means that your exchange value may not be exactly the value you expected when you got paid: between the time the person pays you and the time you get the coins and get to exchanging them for dollars, the value may have changed. On average, you're more likely to get more dollars later simply because Bitcoin was designed to gain value as more people use it, but that's no guarantee.
Hi All,
27 yo male, Colorado USA. Software developer for a living and am very excited about bitcoin. Looking to create app or sites that use or are about bitcoin as the barriers to entry are way low. PM if you have an interest in creating an app especially if it has to do with RoR or Android as those are my strengths.

Interesting. Never really saw any posts from a merchant's perspective.
Frankly, the only thing I can tell you? You get paid in BTC, then you'd sell the BTC on an open market, ie, Mt Gox, and then you have actual money.
Now, in theory, you could use the BTC to buy something from another BTC-accepting business, but that's a little... awkward, at times, given the few merchants actually accepting it.
It's a chicken and the egg thing.
There's an entire sub forum based on the "economics" of it all, but that seems primarily focused on the "lol let's make a profit day trading" kind of thing.

Let's see... been mining and such for about a month and a half now, and stalking the forums for about twice that.
Now, I want to post in my mining pool's thread, but... yeah, I need to get rid of Newbie status, shockingly enough
