I thought it's about time to do a little introduction about myself.
My name is Markus, but most of my friends call me maku. I'm 23 years old and live in Vienna, Austria. For a living I work as a embedded software engineer, mostly with DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) devices. In my freetime i like playing video games, flying quadcopters (fpv racers), 3d printing and since about a month following cryptocurrencies (especially ethereum and golem).
I had my first real contact with cryptocurrencies about a year ago during the DAO crowdsale. I don't remember where i've heard about it but I thought why not? and invested a small amount (i think only 2 ether) and totally forgot about it. A few months later i heard about the hack and thought my investment was gone.
While clearing up my computer last month i've found my ethereum wallet, which i haven't touched in a year and in a big suprise i've noticed: there was still something in it! And the value has increased by about 600%! wow!
From there on I did some more research about ethereum, followed some subreddits and got into a really nice discord chat through which i ended up here :)
PS: I usually don't really like pictures of myself, but below you will find one for verification purpose.
sorry for the bad quality, old macbook webcam was the only thing lying around..
