When BitCoin found me, I was knee deep with 35 open tabs, I clicked on a shinny B coin link, and was struck with gold fever. After a week of researching I realized, I was a year or more too late to mine. The economics, being anonymous, a world currency, mining money while you sleep, technology. BitCoin encompasses everything.

I was watching tek syndicate on youtube and did some mining for him while watching his show. after that I started asking myself why am I doing this for someone else to benefit and started doing it for myself. although I have benefitted much from it. maybe cut a year off my video card's lifespan

Big press stories during the spike up and latest crash... And then the possibility of small side income! $-)

Money, curiosity, free electricity (for me only)

Around 2009 I've been reading about it.

However, mine has just started in April.

Bang my head against the wall ...

PS:

It would be a problem, you must have started!

You really should add Bitcoin!  Screw PayPal and their nasty attitude and monopolistic business practices, BTC is the way to go!

Hello,

I am sure I heard of this a few years ago, if only I had filled my bedroom with computers and GPU's back then.

Today I am a software developer who took a trading course and cashed in big on a demo trading account with bitcoins.  After googling bitcoins and then trying to mine at home I quickly realised my hardware was next to useless.

So I have made an executive decision and invested around 4k in Butterfly labs hardware.  I sincerely hope it gets delivered in time to at least make back my investment costs.

I decided to buy a few devices as the worry is the difficulty will increase too quickly rendering a single device useless.

I have been told my device will be in the data centre in a couple of months, I will report back when it becomes available.

thanks


Andrew

had to do an in depth project on digital cash, we made our own currency using a few algorithms (secret sharing, blind signatures, bit commitment, rsa, and random oracle) but because it was a small implementation we had it centalized. learned a lot about crypto, and bitcoin in the process. after i saw how useful it was, i had to jump on board
