Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on this forum for about a month now, so I thought it was high time for me to make an account and start talking to others with similar interests.  I'm a seasoned software engineer, been writing code since the late 90s.  I've recently taken in interest in some fringe technologies like crypto currency and the Tor network.  In an effort to learn about these things, I've been experimenting by creating hidden services (nothing useful yet, just a learning tool), an alt-crypto currency based on Litecoin (another learning tool), and a bitcoin mining pool to start with (it's actually up and running, but no users yet).  I've also been trading crypto currencies on exchanges.  I have to say, I'm really having a blast!  I'd be very interested to hear about the projects that others are working on.
