This is interesting. I read about this place in an article I think out of Rolling Stone. It was a small, almost unnoticeable article, for the best im sure. I don't mean to add, as myself, being, to the ever increasing decadence of such a place. hmm well there is no stopping it. I'm sure everyone especially long term users are most aware, this place will disappear one day, really only to evolve into something more discreet and for only certain elite.

ANYWAY....nuf of that. So I just got a job and will have to wait a few checks before I invest into any bitcoins. The current rate is approx 27per which is omni-ridiculous or perhaps not quite omni cause I'm willing to tolerate that but if it gets much further from $25 per like past $33 per man idk thats just my imagined threshold. Do you think it'll get that high or higher consistently or is this something that fluxuates more or less around a certain average? or do we even know? this being such a new frontier. shit.

hopefully 2 or 3 checks from now its wont be so bad. thats like at least 2months from now before I can consider my first purchase. I'm looking hard in the vendor review threads over at rumor mill. As the time gets closer I'm sure I'll shoot many more questions cause I will want to be very involved, especially as a nub, with my transaction.

So I have some important questions. If these are already covered in sticky's or something feel free to forgive me and direct me.

So I felt like it was all kind of too ease. Downloading the browser I mean and well you know, registering and getting on to the road and everything. so easy. And before I went ahead with the dl and install I read so much about relaying and pgping two things which I know nothing about. So ya I browsed the road perfectly without this so called relaying or pgping whatever those are. So just how safe am I making a purchase with just the browser and being on the road? should I also be using some other techniques like the above or even others? Or am I pretty much ok for the most part?

Aside from that main question which is most important to me, I hope the uhh experienced guys n gals here wont be sighing and rolling their eyes too far into the back of their heads at my ignorance. I don't mean to be yet another spec of fuzz to the heat generated by the sprawling publicity this thing is causing. Though even you pro's should imagine something like that was inevitable. I mean I'm not even going to ask how the secret got out.

Just want you to know I plan to have positively honest and solid SR credit once I'm there and hope to maintain the right relationships via these forums. okay.
