Hosting your own email is a must. You should transfer to namesilo. They also accept bitcoin and they have cheap rate both register and renewal.

I just wanted an easy to use email and it was working great, until they tell me I can't change the plan because it is in a grace period. I also have my lawyer looking into it as the guy was super rude to me.

I have a registrar already but thanks!

I have 4 domains one with an email plan. The one with an email plan, closed down due to it being over and when I went to renew it under a new cheaper plan I couldn't. I contacted them and for over 3 hours they basically said I had to renew it at this expensive plan and be refund the difference in namecheap funds, or delete all emails account and allow me to purchase this cheaper plan.

Also they wouldn't give me to anyone higher than a level 2 customer support leader.

I will be transferring all domains out of them and hosting my own email.
1083  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / A bitcoin full node FAQ on: May 11, 2014, 11:39:51 PM
During a lot of my day I see inaccurate information about bitcoin full nodes. I wanted to create a topic where people can ask questions and we can answer them. So there's 1000's of separate topics on this subject found in many different boards.

I think this could also help make newbies feel better as to why it is important to run a full node and it isn't that hard to get started.

Ask your questions here and I or the community will answer them.

I'd love to check you link and see what you guys have done but I don't seem to be very lucky at getting your site to load.

I can assure you we are very much up and loading extremely fast tonight. This image was taken from an external web screen shot service so I know it is up for other people. Also we have monitors checking in from Russia, Germany, Spain, NJ, IL,  and California, which say the site has not been down tonight. Also some of our bigger mission critical clients actually are directly connected to me via email, and their systems have not notified us.

If you want you can pm me your ip address, and we will look it up. We have had a lot of suspicious activity in our logs lately and have automatically had those ips ban from the service.

Please don't spread FUD about us.

I don't think it will be that big, they are using this as a marketing ploy as usual.

Please don't use services like this, if you don't control the private key you are not in control, don't use them as your wallet. I tried to help them to make the service trustless, they didn't want to listen.
1089  Bitcoin / Project Development / [Announcing] The first api to support Proof of Assets api call! on: May 09, 2014, 04:45:50 PM
APIcoin has been a company that pride itself on first, to drive the market in certain ways. I hope other apis take this and implement this api call. I also hope other companies see this and start doing regular outputs of their assets for this high level of transparency.

Not that funny, just them screaming bitcoins.
1091  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: My new TREZOR on: May 07, 2014, 09:27:30 PM
We have now an additional 6 month. That's 200% additional scaling up time. And still nothing. Shocked

If you want to play with percentages: the scale of production went 10000% up since then ...

Always great to see the founder of the company berating customers.

Wish it contain a developer or someone that could explain the protocol. Also never heard of these people so yeah! Great who ever picked them to represent our community.

Either buy a VIP package, or contact theymos.
1094  Economy / Service Discussion / We are the first api/pass service to add bits, mbtc along side bitcoins! on: May 05, 2014, 04:12:31 PM
My service now returns 3 different value displays, on any value api call. This allows any service to use all three or one, without making multiple calls. This is the first blockchain api service to do this!

You can read more about the choice at my service's blog and we talk about the pros of this change. https://apicoin.io/blog/2014/05/05/bits-unit-measure/
1095  Economy / Services / Re: I am looking to sponsor some events... on: May 05, 2014, 02:12:07 AM
What type of events?  Bitcoin related?  Physical events or online ones??? o.O

Because for online ones you could just look on the forum o.O
Physical bitcoin events, I would suggest actually going there in person and getting contact info.

For sure, online events are easy to get into, and not why I made this, but if someone is reading this and has an online event, pm me Wink I will never turn those down for the right price.


I am really looking more for physical local events, hackathons, and I don't have the time to be there.
1096  Economy / Services / Re: I am looking to sponsor some events... on: May 04, 2014, 08:35:52 PM
Events related to bitcoin you can find many sites googling it.. or you can make your own event if you are really interested in promoting some brand.

I did google and found this https://bitcoin.org/en/events but when I contacted some of the events that are closely related to my site, they either never got back to me or were too expense for me to purchase.

I am looking for smaller events.
1097  Economy / Services / I am looking to sponsor some events... on: May 04, 2014, 05:32:43 PM
Where can I find some events that are looking for sponsorships.

Forget money and all the BS attached.....What is the Job that you would wake up every morning and be excited about going to?

Mine would have to be a lobster fisherman.

Lucky me, I have my dream job, I wake up everyday, play with expensive computers, motivated to try and crush the competition in my market and then dream of new ways to make bitcoin better!
1099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin APIs and the dangers of revealing your private key. on: May 02, 2014, 03:14:36 AM
I wasn't going to post this until tomorrow but a certain publication decided to put a spotlight on a service that is using bad practices and I wanted to show why certain business that understand the protocol are unique and not just trying to be only first movers.

Quote
Don’t trust apis with your bitcoin private keys! It was brought to our attention that competitors of ours have built in functions to sign transactions for you, as long as you supplied the private key. I will not name them as this would take away from our post. I believe this extremely dangerous and a complete disregard for user’s safety. We take security extremely serious in our api and even if users don’t understand the protocol as well as us, we want to protect them from themselves.

Anytime a private key is exposed and sent over the internet unencrypted or even encrypted, it is dangerous and the private key should be treated as a compromised key. That means it should never be used again for any transactions. If a malicious actor got to that private key they could easily craft a transaction that could be confirmed before your intended transaction. It isn’t worth the risk, we understand that this is easier and probably more attractive but also bad standard practices for bitcoins.

This why I promote cold storage wallets, anytime I talk to anyone looking to use our api. Cold storage wallets are not something users learn about until it is usually too late but we need to change that.

1100  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinpunk? - Browser Wallet? on: April 30, 2014, 04:26:03 PM
I wouldn't use coinpunk, it is a self hosted solution, it has no security audit as I can tell, and one person writing the code is a shill for the foundation so it screams don't use.

Instead try out http://pheeva.com/ it is native iphone wallet, and I been using it with out a problem. It isn't open source so I wouldn't keep more than $50 -$75 in it.
