Might want to give Nobrainr a spin. It's a small python private key generator. Also supports physical dice input.

I suppose you need to trust that the JS is not intentionally modified to use weaker PRNG/seed. Or that your browser is not compromised to provide less entropy.

She needs Asscoins, not Boobcoins.

Transaction ID to verify this? Also, it's not possible to set the fee to 0 on the client, not without some "hacks" anyway. Bitcoin used to support 1 satoshi transactions, but they were dust amounts, so the minimum amount you can send is 5430(or 54k?) satoshis I think.

Also, miners CANNOT charge you a fee. You are the one who willingly provides it, or you agree with the client to provide the necessary fee.

Edit: duplicate post. 
They are selling for that much because even if you buy it now, you will probably never see a return of the investment.

If you are implying Satoshi is a time-traveler, I also think so as well. He could be traveling in time right now back to wherever he came from.

y r the ASIC Block Eruptor USB Miner so cheap they used to sell for $125 USD used.
u can buy them now for about $50 on ebay.
Because they are worthless.

The catch is that by the time if you get said machine the difficulty will be so high that you will be lucky to ever see a roi.

Transaction priority is based on this formula " // Priority is sum(valuein * age) / txsize" taken straight from the source. If the priority of your transaction was bigger or equal to 57,600,000 it will be mined without a fee, but of course miners can choose their own rules.

That's what my wallet wants to charge me??  I just wanted to send a total of 0.09 btc

That's like 12 dollars.

Can anyone explain?
Perhaps you've accumulated a lot of dust outputs making the size of your transactions very large, thus the large fee.

What's a "dust output"?

I've only ever send bitcoin a few times.  Transactions were around 1 to 3 btc in size.
Like coins from faucets etc.

EDIT:Just checked your signature and it's indeed full of very tiny outputs.

Thanks for clarifying, yes I stopped mining btc a while back and just play with the faucets occassionally.

If I hold what is in there for a while will that fee decrease, or will it stay as is?
While miners do prefer older coins, the fee will not change. You can try to consolidate those outputs little by little, but how, I can't help you there.

I know there's a coin where the only mining reward is the transaction fees, so there is no difficulty factor for discovering blocks. How does this work?
I have no clue which coin you might be talking about,  I haven't been interested in alt coins for a while now.

Hello

Considering how it works, to not increase the difficulty as power rise doesn't make seems.
This would means that the more power you put in the networks the more rapidly you mine the coins. This would lead to deflate the money as power is added.
This wouldn't change much on the whole scale except that every coins would be mined faster.

By the way ASICS are engineering for one thing only (hence the name : Application Specific Integrated Circuit), the application being sha256 in our case, you can't get this hardware to do anything else. This is why they are so great are doing it.
More orphans, 100% chance of double spends and whatnot, a higher chance of somebody rewriting the blockchain at will. The list goes on.

Hello everyone, my name is Harrogate and I'm new here. I thought I'd introduce myself by sharing my thoughts on the current situation of the low level ASIC miner, such as myself.

I ordered 30 GH/s of mining power from Butterfly Labs (little single and jally) on June 3 of 2013; this hardware arrived four days ago. I've been mining at BTC0.02 a day. At this rate my gear would pay off in about two months. With difficulty viciously rising, I'm not sure when it will actually pay off.

My plan is to sell the miners, as people are still buying them (if you're interested pm me). Until then I'll keep using the slow trickle to fund my cpyptsy trades.

What are your thoughts on the validity of home mining in the "warehouse miner" age? If bitcoin mining becomes less viable, will the miners be useable for altcoins? Are there SHA-256 currencies that don't increase difficulty as power is added to the network? Can BFL ASICS solve anything but SHA-256?

Please introduce yourself and lend me your thoughts. I'm glad to be a part of this exciting community.
All Bitcoin ASICs work only with double SHA-256, so long as any altcoins out there use the same proof-of-work algorithm, you can use it there, yes, otherwise no. And the difficulty is there for a reason.

Suggestion, give up. With that puny speed what profit would you get?
