You will still be a tor node, and that will help the tor network.

Sorry, I misunderstood the OP, I thought that you were running an exit node that had the standard ports open.

There shouldn't be anything illegal coming through since those ports are specialized and unused except for Bitcoin.

I believe that the OP is saying that he wants to run a Tor exit node that caters specifically to Bitcoin nodes because it only has ports 8332 and 8333 open.

You have the risk of having illegal activity being routed through your node and could have your ISP attempt to shut you down, police come and seize or question, or requests from police to release data even though you don't have it. However, the Tor Project does have legal advice for these situations and you can always contact the EFF for legal help also.

You might also have the risk of people trying to attack your computer in order to damage the Tor network. I would advise using a secure OS such as Whonix.

It seems like you are having a DNS problem. You can change the DNS servers or you could try flushing the DNS cache on your computer. Also see if you can access the forum by its IP. Just enter this: 198.251.81.170 into the url bar and you should get to the forum.

I would like to join. Do we need a skype, I don't have a skype.

Has MZ or any other escrow accepted and confirmed the escrow yet? Once we have confirmation of escrow I would like to join.

How do I get my BTC? The surveys are those annoying ones which can really never be finished and just ask for a lot of info. How do I complete them and get my BTC?

They cannot change the protocol without modifying the source, and if they did so, no one would use their client and the core devs would not allow the commits to be made into the open source repository. They cannot do this through mining.

A 51% attack cannot turn off Bitcoin. It could prevent people from sending transactions, but it would also be a massive waste of resources in order to prevent the transactions indefinitely.

You are going to need to install it by compiling the source. Here is a link to the documentation: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports

This is very cool, I'm going to try it out. Also, how do you find out about new businesses and how accurate and up to date is the map?

I feel that by the time Congress figures out what Bitcoin is and its usefulness, the benefits of mining Bitcoin on a large scale would be very low. I think by that point, the block reward would only be transaction fees and thus the government would have a very small return on their investment in mining equipment. I think that they would simply go the other way of getting Bitcoin which is to tax every citizen using it, but that would be very difficult. Furthermore, I think that they would try to destroy Bitcoin since it is hard for them to control and make money off of it. The pseudonymous nature of Bitcoin also makes it difficult to track unlike bank accounts where names and IDs are associated with everything and can be easily traced.

Would it be possible to use a Thermoelectric Generator, similar to what is used in space probes but instead on the cooling system of mining rigs, in order to produce electricity to reduce the cost of electricity? How effective would this be and would it have a significant impact on the electric bill?

Theoretically, yes. In actuallity, no. The virus would need admin privileges in order to mount the disk or partition with Ubuntu, and it would need to install drivers to read the different drive formatting. Furthermore, due to the permissions on a Linux system, anything written to the Ubuntu disk from windows probably doesn't have the permissions to run. Even, so, the virus could still exploit something in Ubuntu in order to run.

This attack is highly unlikely, and I think it would only happen if you were targeted specifically. If you are paranoid, I would advise updating both OSes frequently and being careful of what you browse. Encrypt all your data on the Ubuntu OS. If it is on a second disk, I you should be able to encrypt that disk (it may even work on a partition, I'm not sure), which would prevent anyone from being able to read the data without the password, thus preventing any attack from Windows to Ubuntu, provided of course, you don't have a keylogger and never used the decryption password in Windows.

Try localbitcoins. You can sell with direct deposit to your bank account, local meetups, or pretty much any other method you can think of. You can also try the currency exchange subforum here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

Make sure that your firewall on your computer or router is not blocking port 8333. The warning just means that Bitcoin Core has not downloaded any blocks.

Download the Circle for Bitcoin app, register an account, and tap the circle with a qr code inside. Then point your phone at the qr code on Circle's twitter account and you will get 5 USD in free bitcoin.

You need to have another device. Once you have everything installed, underneath where it says account balance there is a small circle with a qr code inside of it. If you tap that, another screen opens with two tabs, one with "scan code" the other "my address" make sure you are on scan code. You should see below it your camera view and a square with brackets in the corners. Point your phone at your computer or other device with Circle's twitter post open and make sure that the qr code on the post is withing the square. It will automatically credit your account with 5 USD of Bitcoin.

By managing the site, Ulbright would be an accomplice in drug dealing as he both allows it to happen on his own site and knows that illegal activity is occuring. Thus, he would still get jail time, but probably less than he will get now.

It depends on the country. In the US, the IRS views Bitcoin as a property so when you buy and sell, you will need to declare the capital gains or something like that. You should check the Legal subforum for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=74.0
