anyone here ever used bitcoin?


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Well I don't personally use them, but I have made a few apps and services that use bitcoins.

Oh hell no.

I don't even like debit cards.

Visa, cash or check is how I pay for things.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I have but as far as bitcoin mining it's really not viable anymore unless you jumped on that bandwagon a few years ago.
But if you have the money and resources sure why the hell not. At this point you are better off making your own crypto currency
and spreading it around.

I'm really interested in having a bitcoin account. Is there a "for dummies" walk-through I could use?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I have half a bitcoin. I used to have a whole one but I sold some and then used the rest to buy a load of furniture from overstock.com.

Install a Bitcoin Wallet and you can generate one:

https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Be warned, if you actually put any Bitcoin in it, you'll have to keep the wallet file somewhere safe (i.e. backed up) because if your computer crashes and you lose the wallet file, you won't ever be able to access your Bitcoin again.

Sounds a bit like the Blue Monday crash of 2009.

Cheers for that, I'll give it a go.

Anyone got any money I can use?

Sorry, you need a bit of coin to buy bit coin.
I don't trust all that modern stuff.
I prefer to trade as I always have with bushels of hay and cows... Very safe! As the cows fattens, so does my profit.
