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?

Hello, What bitcoin gambling game do you have more chance on winning on? All the best.
When gambling you will always lose. Just know when to stop. Try justdice "you will always lose" : so, how to win bitcoins if not gambling?? ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Buy them with FIAT. Work for them. Learn trading. Even faucets are better than casinos imo.

I haven't gambled there, but I invested some minor amounts. It seems legit to me.

is it real one? wow they've found satoshi nakamoto ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) They found a Satoshi Nakamoto, but most likely the wrong one ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Small payouts (5 satoshis myself), auto redirect to adfly, spammy ads, no special design. No thanks, for the people that use faucets there are tons of better faucets out there.

1. 2011 or something was the first thing I heard about it, but it wasn't until 2013 I actually looked into it and started getting my first (milli) bitcoins. 2. In 2011 a friend mentioned you could mine it (he said it wasn't profitable though ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) ), in 2013 I think it was a mix of Silk Road and people becoming millionaires in mainstream media that caught my attention

You can readd MMOclub to the list. I just got my payout from them, even though it has been a very long time.

I made an easy userscript to make tipping over at Reddit easier. If people shows interest in it, I might make it available for other sites that has the Reddcoin tip bot, like Twitch and Twitter. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/406551

Welcome to our forum! Every new person coming here, including you, is nice. We all either wish we knew about Bitcoin earlier or actually knew about Bitcoin earlier but wish we invested back then (like me). But hopefully, Bitcoin is going to get a lot bigger and in that case we would still be early investers. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Also, you might want to look into Reddcoin and maybe mine it, it's a new scrypt currency made for tipping. If you know about Dogecoin, it's like that but without the meme that can get annoying in the end. One last thing, I don't know how much you know about Bitcoin/this forum, but it could be a good idea to at least check the newbie readme at the top of this category if you haven't already.

Ok which one has the highest volume?
At 11 satoshis it seems to be Crpto Rush and Poloniex, where there are a couple of millions RDD for sale. If you want to buy more than a million RDD at Coined Up you'd have to pay 12 satoshis for most. I don't know anything about the other exchanges (e.g. Coinex) listed, so I prefer letting someone with more experience with them talk about it.

Which exchange you guys think is the best to exchange redd (both buying and selling)
My personal opinion (starting with the best): 1. Coined Up 2. Poloniex 3. Cryptorush

Can one of you homies try mining http://redd.oakpool.com -- I think we finally got everything squared away. <3 OakPools I gotta go to sleep soon, but I will try mining for a few minutes before that and see if it works. Thanks mate!! Round Shares Submitted shares since last found block (ie. round shares) Est.

Although I personally don't think they found the real Satoshi (although it is also possible they actually did), this doesn't prove it. The real Satoshi would have reason to post this regardless of if he is Dorian or not.

Mostly the services uses different Bitcoin addresses to identify the sender, since one can have practically infinite addresses. So almost always you don't have to do anything yourself for the receiver to know who sent the money.

First of all, AMD cards are superior when it comes to mining compared to Nvidia's cards. And if you choose AMD, which I think you should, I'd recommend R9 280X. I haven't had any personal experience with it but it seems to be the most popular card for scrypt mining.
