The 21 million coin limit is an obvious thing , if there was a unlimited number the coin will have no value at all , same goes for the Block reward thing . Now for what comes to the features there is Decentralization , Pseudonymous so I don't have to deal with services like PayPal crap and get limited and the need of sending my documents and even buy VCC or VBA to get another account instead same goes for Irreversible Credit cards and PayPal are shitty and you also have to watch your accounts in case you traded with are retarded who have some Social engineering skills .

Blockchain.info kinda became crappy in general (API , blockexplorer and wallet) because it's having some downtime from time to time and this kind of things shows the bad part of Bitcoin .
So for me I'am using https://www.blocktrail.com/ (switched to wallet couple of days ago when it came out) and for the blockexplorer since long time using it , best GUI ever Grin

12105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Sberbank CEO Admits to Owning Bitcoin Amid 'BitRuble' Controversy on: September 17, 2015, 02:30:09 PM
The CEO of Russian bank Sberbank has reportedly admitted to owning a "small amount of bitcoin", after an official from the country said an upcoming 'BitRuble' project was "illegal".

German Greft, the former Minister of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation made the comment at Finnopolis 2015 – a FinTech conference – and noted how he had also fallen victim to the digital currency's volatility.

Speaking at the event, Gref said:

Quote
"I am one of the victims, I have a small amount of bitcoins ... Only one currency in the world has devalued more than the ruble – bitcoin."

Coindesk article : http://www.coindesk.com/sberbank-ceo-admits-to-owning-bitcoin-amid-bitruble-controversy/

Now he should step up and add Bitcoin to his Bank  Roll Eyes

12107  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Amount of investement needed to open a faucet ? on: September 17, 2015, 10:25:20 AM
starting a faucet is not good idea right now. as other member said you may need 5+5BTC investment , you can invest 10BTC in another good project and earn good money, much more profit then running a faucet

Honestly I don't have much Bitcoin for sure but the answers on the topic seems little bit unbalanced , some people are saying that I should need like 10-100$ tops but the first answer says 10 BTC Shocked It's not even close .

I'am willing to use paid domain , .com which is better for SEO and I'am not really planning to use FaucetBox or any simillar website that use a third party , I want something that pays directly to the user adress and honestly didn' tfind any Open source for that , something like Freebitco.in should do the job and I'am not sure how it would cost to hire a developper to do that job .

What do you think Bitcoin price would be if there was no Mtgox ? without taking in consideration that Bitcoin price was pumped by Willybot or whatever his name is .
I personally think that the price would be higher then now because Mtgox was probably one of the reasons that people either left Bitcoin or simply didn't join on the first place since they see it now as a risk .

12112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Judge Orders LocalBitcoins User to Teach Police on Digital Currency on: September 16, 2015, 07:33:54 PM
A judge has sentenced Florida LocalBitcoins user Pascal Reid to serves 90 days in jail in a ruling that closes a high-profile legal case dating back to February 2014.

Originally charged with operating an unauthorized money transmission business and with money laundering, Reid plead guilty to a single count of operating as an unlicensed money transmitter. Reid will receive five years probation and must provide informational assistance to law enforcement and financial entities about bitcoin and digital currencies.

As part of the deal, Reid has been tasked with completing "no less than 20 trainings" on digital currency and cybercrime, to be organized by Detective Ricardo Arias of the City of Miami Beach Police Department.

Reid is also required to make himself available to the Miami Beach Police Department, the US Secret Service and the Miami Electronic Crimes Task Force as needed for the development of the sessions.

Attorney Ron Lowy, of Miami-based law firm Lowy and Cook PA, told CoinDesk that he and his client are "very pleased with the outcome".

Lowy told CoinDesk:

Quote
"Pascal [Reid] was facing years in prison. But, I think the government has come to the conclusion that Pascal never intended to do anything dishonest."

12114  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: BlockTrail.com Wallet - What do you think about it ? on: September 16, 2015, 06:57:50 PM
Here is what HD wallet means basically , from the BlockTrail CTO  :

Quote
The Blocktrail wallet is a HD wallet, this means that all your private keys are generated from 1 master key, which is generated in your browser/app and then encrypted with your password before sending it to be stored on the Blocktrail servers.
Additionally the Blocktrail wallet is a multi-signature 2of3 wallet, 1 is your primary master key, 1 is your backup key and the 3rd is the blocktrail server key. 



Another results I found by searching little bit :

Quote

HD is short for Hierarchical Deterministic. Typically, bitcoin wallets generate each new bitcoin address from a unique random number, requiring you to make a new separate backup each time you create a new address. To avoid losses from lack of backups, such wallets tend to use a single bitcoin address for all transactions. HD wallets instead use a «master seed» to derive all future bitcoin addresses sequentially, with each new address created by appending a counter to the end of the seed. In this way, all the bitcoin addresses created by such wallets are «hierarchically determined» from a single seed, only need to be backed up once, and can be fully restored at any time in the future just from the backup of that single master seed. When using a single address wallet, all your transactions will be associated with a single address, and because all bitcoin transactions are public, anyone can see what addresses you are sending funds to and how much money you have. HD wallets greatly improve your privacy by being able to generate new addresses whenever you send and receive funds, making your transaction activity and total balance very hard to track.

12115  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: BlockTrail.com Wallet - What do you think about it ? on: September 16, 2015, 06:18:46 PM
Just download it after i saw this thread Roll Eyes
I thought it was great wallet just like mycelium, but i dissapointed after saw sign up form & other feature that could show my identity Sad

I guess i'll keep use mycelium


They also sync your contact info, i dont know why do they need my contact list to be synced?

On their Google Play page it says :

Quote
- 2-of-3 Multisig technology so you always remain in control of your coins
- HD wallet technology allowing you to create an unlimited number of addresses
- Send and Receive bitcoin easily with contacts on your phone
- Live update for new transactions and your balance
- View your full transaction history with the price at the time of the transaction
- Personalise your account so your friends can quickly identify you
- QR code scanning with bitcoin URI support
- Send requests via email and SMS
- PIN protection
- Anonymous accounts, for your privacy
- Transactions signed locally on your device
- Backup document incase the worst happens
- Local currency display using live price updates

So it's nothing that you should be afraid off , it's not like they are sending these informations to their servers or anything , in fact they don't store anything on their side as far as I know. only one of your private keys which is not enough to take control of your coins .
12116  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blocktrail.com | Wallet | Explorer | API on: September 16, 2015, 05:29:35 PM
I believe I just found a bug or something , let's get started :

First day I made my account on BlockTrail it asked me to download a PDF file and keep it safe , which I did and printed and now it's asking me once again and I'am not why .

All informations between first and second PDF are totally different (Seed and all) but what I noticed that it totally different is this (first PDF wouldn't make sense if it only says blocktrail-wallet to be honest , second should be the correct one I guess) :


First PDF :   on the "Wallet Identifier" Part on the first page it says blocktrail-wallet and that's it .
Second PDF :   on the "Wallet Identifier" Part on the first page aswell it says blocktrail-wallet-randomStuff

randomStuff represent some random letters and numbers , I just didn't want to post incase that can be used to get my wallet .

I've sent this to our developers. Stand by for more info, i'll PM you when I get a response.

Ouch, painful bug! Sorry about that, we rolled out an update that adds the 'randomStuff' at the end, but the wallet didn't properly recognise the fact that a wallet already existed ...

I've fixed the issue;
 - if you had a balance on the first wallet then if you logout -> login it will log you back into the first wallet.
 - if you did not have a balance on the first wallet then if you logout -> login it will log out back into the second wallet.

in both cases the other wallet is not lost, you just can't get to it anymore until we add the feature to manage multiple wallets to the GUI (in a future update).



Thanks for fixing this even if I didn't much understand how and what I'am supposed to do now . I had no balance but I don't see any tab to choose between wallets , should I simply login and I'am fine ?
and which PDF backup should I keep , both of them ? also if you could answer my question above about the Two factor authentification please because I want to enable it before I start depositing into my wallet .
12117  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Signature campaign for total newbies ? on: September 16, 2015, 04:50:38 PM
Hello ! I'm really new here. Just created my account 18 minutes ago. I decided to register when I learnt about signature campaigns, which seems to be a cool thing for many. So I wanted to know : is there a signature campaign that accept newbies, or will I have to get an higher rank ?

You will definitly need a higher rank to start getting paid for some decent amounts of money  , It's related to rank because the higher rank you are the better and the more visible your signature is (you can use bold , colors and that kind of stuff) and signature compaigns owner want their signature to be visible to people and not small with no colors Grin it's that simple Smiley So either start posting and get higher rank or you can uy an account .

12120  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum 2.4 binaries on: September 16, 2015, 01:48:50 PM
Any updates on when the next binaries will be available ?

Also, will hardware wallets be supported in the next release?

I was reading on DASH (Darkcoin) Altcoin thread and I saw that OP said that they funded Electrum project so  I assume that the late updates for Electrum BTC is because of Electrum DASH if the developpers are the same of course .
