My exit strategy is moving all of my BTC from my MtGox account to an off site wallet.


I know that once the pirate thing hits there will likely be a drop in price but in the long term it will rise.

I wish I had more money sooner to put into BTC. I had no money when it was $2/BTC. I still have no money to put in at $14/BTC. I hope the price is not too high when I do have money.

Likely, though you would have to do a lot of the leg work yourself to get the cheapest rate (running your own bitcoin transaction server, setting up your card...).

More than likely there will be services out there that set things up for you and it will be close to the rate of a prepaid card.

Most likely having multisig all finished and vetted for release.

We all know about multisig but it will likely be a significant enough update to warrant an announcement to those who have not been following.

According to these charts the price will be going higher:

Tell them it is like sending text messages but instead of sending words, you are sending money.

Or if they know nothing of technology just tell them that because of all of the expenses and debt they built up, we are jumping ship to a new money without all of the baggage.

Be sure to mention that even though they "paid into social security" (paid taxes) all of their lives. They are now "getting it back" (receiving welfare) but in money that nobody wants.

I have had nothing but good experiences with the BBB. I had some problems with AT&T and when I contacted the BBB, AT&T worked with me to make it right. Same with Verizon.

Some companies take their BBB rating seriously.

He needs to set it up to create an address for each new donor and allow for the donor to supply their identifiable information along with that address. And refund anything over an equivalent maximum in dollars.


I was thinking about this one though.

It would be great if someone were to start running now for US House/Senate or whichever where they would need a lot of money to win, focusing on 2014 or 2016. But for every donation he receives, he converts that money to Bitcoin to be spent the year that he campaigns.

Imagine someone accumulating $100k when the price was at $2/BTC. And imagine if the price in 2016 was $200/BTC. He would have a $10 million war chest going into the election. And he can pledge to pay for all advertising/campaign material in bitcoins.

Paul Ryan = More of the same

You could go with the model of Angie's List where the consumer pays to find out the rating of different companies.

For my purposes I am not really interested in knowing about more than a few BTC.

This is not yet another "I want to know who has a lot of Bitcoin" poll.

This is more for the general Bitcoin enthusiast or forum participant. I am curious to know about those who are just starting out or the typical bitcoin supporter how much they may have available.

The reason being, I am working on a site where you will be sending bitcoins (not necessarily spending them, just showing that you have them) and I need to know how small of an amount will be the cutoff for the typical user.

Personally, I followed Bitcoin on and off for about a year before getting any. I want to know if that is typical.

At $2/BTC:
"OH NO, CUTTING MINING IN HALF WILL CAUSE EVERYONE TO STOP MINING!"

At $4/BTC:
"OH NO, CUTTING MINING IN HALF ISN'T WORTH IT!"

At $8/BTC:
"WE CAN'T AFFORD CUTTING OUR MINING PROFIT IN HALF!"

At $11.50/BTC:
"TOO MANY PEOPLE USING BITCOIN! MINING WILL STOP IF WE KEEP HALVING THE REWARD!"

So I assume that means that parsing the full blockchain is the way to go. I cannot rely on a third party.

I am looking to check an address to see if it is empty and if not empty, check to see how many bitcoins the address contains.

Would I be able to do this with a call from bitcoinj or would I need to add up transactions through the blockchain or what?

You can use the same website that they use to track dollars that have been used for bad things.

You DO check that site every transaction you make right? RIGHT??!?

tick tick tick...

Ok, thanks. It is an empty wallet I installed just to confirm that I would be able to import this address and use it.

I am taking my BTC off of MtGox and wanted to make sure it is secure and wanted to confirm with my own eyes that the address is working correctly for me to spend in the future.

Bitcoin certification would be handy. I can imagine soon some companies will want to hire Bitcoin programmers for their project and the will want to know that they are getting somebody competent.

Though I am no fan whatsoever of certifications to prove that you are competent in something, this seems to be popular among employers.
