If you run a high traffic site, I'd say Adbit. If you don't have much traffic, getting people pay for space on your website could be very hard and therefore I would then recommend A-ads. However, if you can use CoinURL it is superior in my opinion.

At the "Build-Your-Own-Hosting" page, the price doesn't seem to update (stuck at 0.00 BTC).
EDIT: Seems to be working now.

I did notice that about logging in.
But I find that even once I'm logged in I get the message as if someone is on the same IP as me... as in the same network.
Possible?
Probably very unlikely, unless you are on a public network. You know that the message is supposed to appear even when you are logged in, right? The waiting time will increase the more you have posted (depending on your activity), though. |

Are you sure? If it comes up a message saying that someone posted with that IP, keep in mind logging in also adds to that timer.
Also, I'd suggest not just posting your IP like that.

If you are going for a faucet, it would be nice with something unique and not just your average Microwallet faucet  |

Is REDD same as RDD? - because Poloniex is having REDD not RDD ... confusing  ) Yes, it's the same thing. Although Reddcoin doesn't officially use REDD, it's just on Poloniex where it's used. |

I don't know that much about mining, but it seems like pretty normal numbers.

I got this e-mail today ------------------------- Hi xxx+bitads@gmail.com, Receive 0.02 BTC for free at CampBX! Register a new account or log in into existing one and enter this code 245405 here!

I would like to warn a bit about Freebitcoinwin, though. One of the users of my faucet rotator e-mailed me saying he only got payed around 0.025 BTC from it, even though he rolled 10000 and was supposed to get 0.25 BTC.

Encrypting multiple times is likely useless. It is like installing two bank vault doors as the front door for your house because one isn't safe enough. Then forgetting a thief can come in through a window, right through a wall with a car. If you use an encrypted QT wallet file the most likely reasons you lose your coins is: 1) inside theft (roommate, guest in house, etc). 2) you lose the wallet and/or passphrase (it is really hard to break into). 3) your password is weak/insecure 4) you system is compromised with malware or key logger. Double encryption doesn't help you in any of those scenarios and makes it more likely for #2 and possibly more likely for #3 (you use two weaker passwords instead of one stronger one). http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.htmlGenerate a random 6 word passphrase all lower case, no special symbols or numbers (far easier to remember over longer period of time and it can't be brute forced especially with the PBKDF2 key hardening that the QT wallet uses). example: bus security issue vomit fled shut lawn The reason why I would like to have multiple encryptions is if I write down my ~20 character long password like tkbx told me to and someone would somehow find it, they would also have to get through a ~15 character long password that I remember and isn't written down anywhere (I am sure I wouldn't forget that password unless I get a memory loss or something like that, so that's not an issue either). I wouldn't access the wallet either unless I really need to, so it would be pretty hard for a malware to access it. |

If you choose to store it online (a terrible idea) then at least have 2-factor enabled on your google account.
I guess we should ask how many BTC are you storing? If you can't afford to buy a printer or a two pack of USB drives from Costco for $20 then it's probably only dust. In which case it doesn't really matter. If you're storing thousands of dollars in BTC and are worried about saving $100 then you're all messed up.
I'm not storing thousands of dollars in BTC, but it's much to me and I'd like to keep it whatever happens to my computer(s). I guess I could store it on USB drives and I could afford them, but they could break or I could lose them somehow. I just feel more safe about storing it in my Google Drive (which btw is protected by 2FA and a more than 12 characters long password). However, I would like to save a portion of all the bitcoins I buy/earn there and I would like to be sure I don't lose the wallet.dat whatever happens. |

Download Bitcoin-QT Go offline Generate a address dump private key store private key on multiple usb's delete bitcoin-qt send bitcoin to public address of the private key from btc-e  ??/ profit. or just buy a printer and stick the paper wallet in a book. The problem is that this would require either a printer or USBs. This costs money, and I don't have a lot of it. Also, it is possible, although very unlikely, to lose the paper wallet/USBs. But I think I will go with tkbx's suggestion, thank you. |

Okay, so currently I store 80-90% of my bitcoins at BTC-E, which I know is bad. So I was thinking of some secure ways to store most of my bitcoins. Personally, a paper wallet doesn't work that good for me (I don't have access to a printer, and also I'm afraid I might lose the bitcoins). Neither does a cold wallet on another computer, because it's a hassle to set up and my only other computers are old and I don't know long their hard drives will survive (buying a new one is currently too expensive for me).
So I came up with an idea, and would like to know how safe it is. Basically I want to generate a new wallet.dat file and write down my public keys so I can send bitcoins to them when I want. Then I would encrypt my wallet.dat in the Bitcoin-qt. I would then continue by encrypting it X times with 7-Zip with different secure passwords. Then I will save it in my Google Drive, so I can keep the wallet file even if my hard drives crashes or if I lose access to them. I would only unlock and access my
Would this be safe (provided my passwords are safe enough)? Is there any better method? Could my method be improved?
It would be better to just use Bitcoin-Qt's built-in encryption (Settings --> Encrypt Wallet). Encrypting things multiple times is pointless; one secure password will make it take trillions of years to crack. However, if you feel more secure encrypting the wallet.dat with something other than Bitcoin-Qt's built-in encryption feature, I would recommend Truecrypt instead 7-Zip. Truecrypt uses XTS for AES, arguably the most secure mode of operation, and lets you use multiple ciphers (such as AES-Twofish-Serpent, my favorite). I was thinking of using Bitcoin-Qt's built-in encryption together with 7-Zip. Does it become more safe if you encrypt several times or is it just as safe or less safe? And yeah, I will be looking into Truecrypt. |
