First of all, You'll want to get a breadboard, and learn how to use it: http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/209
Then, to get started with microcontrollers, arduino is a good place to start: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9950
Search "Beginner electronics tutorial" or "arduino tutorial" on google, and you should find all you need there. It may be a little confusing at first, but it's a good hobby to get into! Everything you need to get started can be bought on sparkfun. And I think I saw someone was selling sparkfun stuff for bitcoins... Where was that again?
Topic: Selling 50 Dollar Sparkfun Electronics Gift Certificate (Read 2161 times)
a bit of topic but can anyone point me to a place that has guides for stuff like this, I think I'd like to start building small electronics as a hobby
thank you! For the record, I never got to making any illegal ones, and now I never will.
congrats on your first legal sale 
My new username is going to be Ryland Taylor-Almanza on the forum, and RylandAlmanza on #bitcoin-otc, could you rate that name instead of dangler?
I would like to state I had a successful transaction with Dangler. We used clearcoin escrow for a period of 1 year. Item received and funds released.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I will confirm once I receive the item.
Do you think you could rate me on #bitcoin-otc when you get it too? I'll rate you as well.
Decided I would like to keep this, sorry if anyone was interested.
I will confirm once I receive the item.

Thanks biddingpond, I just shipped it today, so It should get to you soon, but it's US Ground Mail, so it might take a while since I live all the way in California.
I'll consider buying when I am a self-sustaining economic entity.
Are there just not enough electronics/robotics nerds on this forum? Or do you guys have doubts or concerns? If so, please post them here, and I'll do whatever I can to make it more comfortable. I know I don't have a reputation on this forum yet, but I'm currently shipping an msp430 launchpad to the user biddingpond.com, and I'm sure that once he gets it, he can confirm that I'm trustworthy. Even if you're not interested in my offer, I would like to hear what you would be skeptical about if you were planning on buying.

I've got a Sparkfun Electronics Gift Certificate, but they are not transferable, so I can't actually sell it to you. What I can do is have something from sparkfun.com shipped to your address for Bitcoins. The gift certificate is worth 50 USD, and I'll ship things to your address for 1BTC/USD spent. You must pay for shipping (4.24 USD on sparkfun, so 4.24 BTC please) as well. Any one been eye-ing anything on Sparkfun lately?
