please do so! and get some posts Smiley
don't be so negative, the 50-post-rule is there for a reason: to get rid of the trolls. NOT to piss newcomers off.

relax take it easy and smile. Cheesy

isn't it a 5 post rule? not 50 I hope or I'll never get out.

I'm an old fashioned coin dealer who has been using various stores of wealth against the falling and failing monetary supplies for a while now. This means instead of keeping money around, I buy land that can grow food or host solar energy collectors, I buy gold and silver and I study things that help me stay diversified. A little while ago someone on a coin forum approached me about selling him a coin he wanted in exchange for Bitcoins and I looked into it... low and behold... it works (of course).

I admit I'm not going to risk a six figure coin sale for Bitcoins but I'm also of the mind that you have to get some skin in the game at some point. I'm pretty happy to conduct reasonable sales of collectible silver or modern collectors coins for payment in Bitcoins. We are a brick and mortar company with 20 years in the business. I've accepted almost everything for payment, even firewood so why not Bitcoins?

Hi I'm PunkSmurph, I am looking at BitCoin as an interesting net experiment.  I do IT for a large company and often find time to work on new technologies.  As a business major an only currency driving a small economy seems like it would be fun to learn some fundamentals of Economics, it will help me in some of my classes. 

I am still learning how to make money mining and trading coins.

Charlie here. Fascinated by this concept.  Like any other latecomer, wishing I had looked into this last year when I first heard about it. Oh well.  

I see HUGE potential still as legitimacy and credibility further develops over time.

Hi.  I'm themusicgod1, and a regular internet dweller.  I am willing to trade bitcoins at the 30 day average or the current sell price at mtgox in exchange for a Ripplepay payment.

I would accept bitcoin as a donation to support my music, and I have a IT consulting business that would also accept BTC as payment for my services as well, altough my current customers do not pay via BTC and they eat up most of my time.

I wish I would have implemented wu wei's ideas like this when I read it years ago.

Hi,

just started to play around with this and opened an account on Mt.Gox to get my hands on some BTC... And a few hours later my email address is available together with account name and a password hash for every hacker on the internet. Cool.  Angry

At least I wasn't able to transfer something into that account yet, so nothing lost (but I expect more spam in my mail....).

See ya in the boards,
holgero.

I'm David.

I learned about bitcoins back in March while I was watching videos on TED. Somehow I got to a video of someone introducing BTC to a crowd, live. I was interested.

I tried to buy $10 usd worth (it was at 90cents) but was leery of sending cash through the mail. Now I'm kicking myself in the assets.  A tenner is not a big risk.

Ready to start making Bitcoin exchanges more secure.

I just found out about Bitcoin a couple weeks ago and now they are having a depression because of hacked exchanges.

Anyone else thinking of building a full P2P Bitcoin exchange?

I did some work with with Distributed Hash Tables and distributed publish-subscribe frameworks in the past. This would be a potential resilient infrastructure to build an exchange.

Just read about bitcoins last Friday, my head has been spinning, I always toyed with the idea of starting an alternative currency myself, this is better than anything I could've ever thought of.

Hi,

so this is me  Smiley
I'm still trying to find out, how bitcoins work - not the use of them but the technical details without reading the source or puzzling the details from the protocol specification in the wiki.
Any hints for further reading? (If not, I will take the source if I find the time Smiley )

Hi,

I've been lurking around these forums for a month or so, but accountwise am a newcomer.

Mainly posting here so I can see some of the forum posts that I can't see (but google shows in search engines)
