Hey all! I am a game programmer who first took an interest in Bitcoin because of its algorithms. I couldn't imagine how an anonymous crypto-currency would work, so I spent days studying the algorithms for transactions and the blockchain. I became convinced not only that Bitcoin has a solid foundation but that it is an ingenious and interesting idea. I wouldn't put my life savings into Bitcoins yet, but I'm excited to see where the currency goes!

Lately I have been considering taking a more active interest in the community. I would like to get a sense of how people feel about Bitcoin and what they are using it for. My continued interest will probably lead me to contribute by helping develop open-source Bitcoin-related projects and possibly operating Bitcoin-related services.

See you around!
