Trading what in particular?
trading bitcoins on Mt.Gox
Your options are:
1) Wait a month and continue mining. While it may take a month to generate a full coin, by working in a pool you'll get fractional coins continuously, and you will be able to send those fractional coins to see how the network works.
2) Take actual money and purchase coins.
3) Do something to earn coins. I've done consulting for two different folks here on the boards and been paid 14 BTC for that work.
1: A Month wont get me anywhere near a full coin, it will take 16 months for me to get a full coin.
2: Ive tried that, but Mt.Gox wont accept paypal, and being in Australia I don't have any of the other payment methods available
3: I have no useful abilities that I can offer over the internet. (not at this point in time, anyway)
