they don't do that because: - it's going to cause extra server load from thousands of people refreshing every 30 seconds to see whether their 0.0001 BTC no fee transaction went through
- it's extra work that does not benefit their customers (miners)
- it doesn't generate revenue

I have a wallet with 14 addresses inside, I want to back these up to another PC (ie Move them completely), Is this just as simple as copying the wallet folder (ie the .dat file), and loading it onto another PC?
I know the password so this should work without any errors, correct?
Yep, that's all there is to it. But don't forget to do it after every transaction. And also move it to a PC or device not connected to the net. A USB stick for example. That is excessive. You only need to backup once per 100 sent transactions. |

Ok, so what happens if you send some Bitcoins to an Altcoin address that is based on Bitcoin? Since the checksum test should be the same (I guess many altcoins don't change that part of the code), does the transaction end up in nirvana?
the network bits are different so it will also be rejected. |

bitcoin addresses have a built in checksum. a typo will most likely* be rejected by the client and the funds won't be sent.
*1 in 4294967296 chance for typo to bypass check

yes you can, but you need to change the bootstrap nodes and the block checkpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, but verify the backup just to be sure.

My guess is that back when I used Blockchain.info in April, it had that RNG flaw that was discovered in August, and now that I was using the address again, someone used the key exposed in the prior transactions to grab the funds.
the RNG flaw was only on keys generated by android wallets. |

I'm interested. Do you provide lower shipping for recipients in Canada? I will not use escrow. Your payment must be made directly to my wallet. (If I am risking sending you this coin, you must risk sending me the Bitcoin. We will be equally vulnerable.)
that's not very assuring coming from someone registered 5 days ago. |

thanks, should I choose the "detach database" option also?
That option has no effect. As of version 0.8.0 and above, all the block files are no longer stored using BDB. Only wallet files uses BDB, but those are "detached" with every write by default. |

horrible way of doing transactions. the buyer can scam by tracking the package and spend the funds once it arrives. the buyer can also scam by spending the funds, then claiming the buyer spent the funds.

The account holder had a randomly generated password which would have been difficult to Brute Force, so there is a very good possibility that the hacker has access to the database. With all due credit, CEX.IO does have 2 stage authentication which the user could not access as he did not have a smart phone to perform the security. So far, no comment fro CEX.IO or his computer was keylogged, which is far more likely because there's no large number of hack incidents. |

flip 256 coins, then use those bits (heads/tails) as private keys.
