Hi!  Rob Lister here.  Thanks for allowing me to login and post.

I heard about bitcoin about two weeks ago.  I saw the utility in it and so, read as much as I could about.  Very cool.  Very useful.  Great potential.  I downloaded the client played with it a bit.  I have a ZERO balance.  Therefore, someone should donate to me .02 bitcoins at 18qYFEWpXPWTTbnyTHhKxNJix371Uw2HmC

just kidding (ok, no i'm not)

Anyway...

I am intentionally retaining a degree of skepticism because I don't have a degree in computer science and have to take a lot of stuff on faith; stuff about the bitcoin markets, stuff about the currency architecture, stuff about the potential legal problems...lots of stuff.  For each item of 'stuff' there are threads galore on this forum (and others).  I'm reading about it.  I get the basics: you might even say i'm convinced of the basics.  I've seen no argument against the currency that holds water, or at least no argument that could not equally apply to the Dollar, the Pound or the Deutschmark. 

So, I'm not going to outright buy any bitcoins, but if I can find an ebay-esk type website that will allow me to sell stuff, I'll do that.  Any links?

Also, is there an Alt-key that gives the bitcoin currency symbol?

Hi everyone, welcome to John Madden Football I'm Nomevir, I could very well be the first
 YTPer to get into the bitcoin game.

I've been somewhat aware of the bitcoin project since last year, but until fairly recently, did not own a computer capable of doing much more then browse the web and creating nouce.
My current system is vastly more powerful and quieter.

I very much look forward to help make bitcoin a strong alternative to the presently dominate currencies of the world.

Hi, I am Tobin. I just started with Bitcoins and hope that there is soon a possibility to make transfers of Dollars <-> Bitcoins faster to react better to the current market situation.
Same! Although I'm Nick.

Since so many guys in this thread, I'd like to add one.

I'm Gong Cheng from China and live in Singapore right now.

How come you have 98 posts and are still in the Newbie forum?

Yes - many "guys" here. I'm Chinese too but not a "guy". I live in US. What do your Asian friends think of your involvement in bitcoin?

Heya, I'm Madehimself. I'm a supple 27 yr old living in TX. CHEERS!

Hi Madehimself, just FYI - MWD's first definition of "supple" is:

": compliant often to the point of obsequiousness"

Obsequiousness is not particularly flattering. I know there are other definitions. Interpreting supple as flexible or adaptable (in your thinking or outlook) would be preferable, but I think most people are more mean-spirited in my experience.

Now I'm too tired to sleep having been up all night and thought I'd reach out to others who are awake/online since I'm still stuck in Newbie-land.

Really just making small talk...

Hey everyone

Hi - where are you from? Are you a female Alice? It doesn't seem there are many women on the forum. Often I'm the only female in my real world tech environments. What made you decide to join the world of BTC?

Hello all. Initially started checking out Bitcoin about a year ago, CPU-mined off and on for a few weeks, then promptly forgot about it entirely. Fast-forward to a few months ago, whereupon checking out the going USD/BTC rate, I decided to jump back in the game. Now mining at around 300Mhash/s with a shiny new 5830, I'm getting ready to throw together a new rig. Should be fun.
