hi, new to bitcoin, just downloaded bitcoinxt wallet, looks straightforward enough, im just looking for someone who could walk me through the ins and outs of it. ill list all the options under File open uri (do i need to know about this) back up wallet (i presume this stores your bitcoins in case of computer crash, if so, i should do this every time a recieve funds or make a payment, right?) sign message?/ verify message?? sending addresses recieving addresses?  settings encrypt wallet (is this something i only do once?) change passphrase (is this for when my wallets encrypted?) thats all there seems to be. although, i downloaded this to my desktop, it didnt ask for email addresses or login info, so no1, how do i keep it secure? and 2 how do i send bitcoins to my wallet if there are no login details like email address or username? Hi Gavin! |

I know this forum is full of hype but if one coin is such a screaming buy then it's Vanilla Coin.
I stopped right there and laughed out loud. Thanks for the lulz OP. |

Eyes rolled as soon as I saw it's Mike Hearn. He and Gavin don't care about 'Bitcoin'... Not really. They have ulterior motives with this fork. Be careful and take what he writes with a grain of salt.
This is quite a longshot, but Satoshi's opinion is really needed about the matter here.
Please elaborate, what are these ulterior motives that Gavin and Mike have? I am not aware of any, but then again I dont read everything involved in this. Who knows. But they become masters of the universe of bitcoin that's for sure. |

You promise charts. There are no charts.
Got lazy. So I linked some cryptocoin charts up there. Anyway, which projects do you think have excellent teams in your opinion? Thanks. |

As the title says. I think it would make things more convenient. Also, the company behind Neteller acquired Skrill as well, so that might increase an exchange's user base.

The title says it. And who are the trusted sellers?

NXT is not dying. But growth has been stagnant. The question you should be asking is how many years can the project last with almost zero growth.
The long bear market has hit almost everyone, Bitcoin included. I believe the release of the superNet project will mark a definite change of pace. No excuses not to buy some at this price. It might. Still a risk at any price. Though the lower price does encourage people to take a look. |

Bitcoin XT Gavincoin Status Update
Please fix title. It's funny that those who likely contribute very little to the community manage to disrespect someone like Gavin that committed thousands of lines of code improving the very thing that we all rely on. Rather pathetic, if you ask me. My banker doesn't think so. It's a public service. |

Stop acting like Bitcoin is a cult you retard. |

And that is exactly why an imposer appeared to please retards like you http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-August/010238.htmlI have been following the recent block size debates through the mailing list. I had hoped the debate would resolve and that a fork proposal would achieve widespread consensus. However with the formal release of Bitcoin XT 0.11A, this looks unlikely to happen, and so I am forced to share my concerns about this very dangerous fork.
The developers of this pretender-Bitcoin claim to be following my original vision, but nothing could be further from the truth. When I designed Bitcoin, I designed it in such a way as to make future modifications to the consensus rules difficult without near unanimous agreement. Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, even if their name is Gavin Andresen, Barack Obama, or Satoshi Nakamoto. Nearly everyone has to agree on a change, and they have to do it without being forced or pressured into it. By doing a fork in this way, these developers are violating the "original vision" they claim to honour.
They use my old writings to make claims about what Bitcoin was supposed to be. However I acknowledge that a lot has changed since that time, and new knowledge has been gained that contradicts some of my early opinions. For example I didn't anticipate pooled mining and its effects on the security of the network. Making Bitcoin a competitive monetary system while also preserving its security properties is not a trivial problem, and we should take more time to come up with a robust solution. I suspect we need a better incentive for users to run nodes instead of relying solely on altruism.
If two developers can fork Bitcoin and succeed in redefining what "Bitcoin" is, in the face of widespread technical criticism and through the use of populist tactics, then I will have no choice but to declare Bitcoin a failed project. Bitcoin was meant to be both technically and socially robust. This present situation has been very disappointing to watch unfold.

I open this thread because it seems many people have the illusion of anonymity with Bitcoin. There's a degree of anonymity when you pay with Bitcoin: it's a little more than when you pay in cash, when you buy online, and it's THE SAME of paying in cash if you use Bitcoin at a cafe or in a shop. But if you think the government can't "spy on you" when you use Bitcoin you are so wrong. NSA KNOWS you have something to do with Bitcoin when you launch your wallet and connect to a node. They control each and every connection, so they see from home at n.XX Dumb Street, where Genius Guy lives, somebody just opened a Bitcoin wallet, because you just connected to a Bitcoin node. And because the volume transfer reveals the amount of money transmitted, they could also know if you have a load of Bitcoin or you are just a guy with average cash. Now, I may be wrong on this, but it seems pretty straightforward to think: NSA can filter PHONE CALLS and emails, you think they can't set up a system and identify who is running a Bitcoin node and, consequently, users with wallets? If this system is not already up, it will soon be. They won't know who is in front of the computer when the wallet is opened, but sure as the Sun, they know at that house somebody is using Bitcoin. You scared of hackers? That's a better motivation for privacy but still... if you are here now, on this forum, chances are you are so tech savvy that you have a good antivirus installed, you don't open popups and install crap you don't know the origin of. Also, think the following: if you are so scared to show that you use Bitcoin, what will happen in the future, when a large part of population will use it? Will they all pretend to be still using dollars?  And last but not least... if a hacker manages to enter a computer, no matter if you use Bitcoin or bank account: he'll fuck both. Sure, with Bitcoin the thing is much faster, but you won't be safe, regardless. The problem is not Bitcoin, the problem is, and remains, being tech savvy. Of course they do. They know everything. They even have your Google search history in file. They got your Jailbait and Goat sex searches in it. |

What do you think will happen if Bitcoin reach 1 USD exchange rate? Will there be more people joining in to get some cheap Bitcoin? Or will they be a big dump and drop in volume? I personally think that if one day Bitcoin reach 1 USD per Bitcoin it will be the headlines on many newspaper. It will attract lot of attention and more people will buy Bitcoin online while it's cheap.

Ok, Signature Campaigners, this one is for you - how much is the fact that you can get paid in bitcoin for posting on this forum the biggest factor that keeps you involved in bitcoin?
"Free" money, right? (almost...we do give up our time.) I can earn some bitcoin without having to risk my own money, right? What have I got to lose?
How many of you have thought these sentiments and can honestly admit that if this opportunity for earning didn't exist you would not care about bitcoin?
Remember, the poll is anonymous...
Wait, what? People get paid for that? Damn.. PM me your offers and what your product is. Here's the catch, I don't care about how much you pay me, I care about what product goes to my signature more... PM me. |

It's not so much a storage problem.
It's the matter of downloading it.
Some of us are not so blessed with fast internet speeds.
This. And bigger HD's aren't the (only) solution. I think off chain transactions will be the norm for BTC in the future. I was thinking Ripple could be the network to do it, but no... They sucked and sucked as they went. Stellar is out of the question. I wonder what happened to Open Transactions and Hyper Ledger... Those two looked promising. |
