Hello! Names Joshua, Computer programmer in CT, thought I would give this whole bit coin thing a whirl as it seems rather interesting if not purely from an academic standpoint.

Newbie here, hoping to get into this bitcoin game! hopefully i'm not joining too late, this looks like this could be lots of fun.

I'm trying to learn about btc, participate and support this amazing experience.

Hello Bitty People,

Just popped in to say hello, after buying some coin for the first time.   As a very new user of bitcoin there is something that I want to raise that seems important if this is ever going to catch on mainstream.  (Perhaps there is a discussion on this topic elsewhere that I have missed?)

The bitcoin addresses are just so meaningless to look at! - just a long line of random, completely unmemorable letters and numbers!

It would be so very easy, when copying and pasting addresses, to accidentally send a load of coin to the wrong person without realizing you had even made a mistake - and then it cannot be undone. 

I think it would be worth introducing a more user friendly, visual address system for folks like me who can be clumsy and absent minded!    It needs to be some kind of recognizable text address that represents the actual bitcoin address.  A nickname perhaps, or better still for global use, a personalized icon, image, logo, avatar etc..   possibly animated... ?  (my mind wanders....)

Maybe this would potentially introduce security problems, but it seems only similar to the way a friendly url is used to represent an IP address?  Even just pretty colors for the address would be a help to visually identify who the actual recipient is going to be.

I think the current format is a bit like using DOS and for mainstream acceptance we need a GUI.

Just a thought.

Hello all, I registered because I wanted to get into the mining scene and figured this would be a really good forum to learn some of the basics as well as some of the more advanced topics. I'm pretty much new to everything so I am finding a lot of useful information here.
