I disagree with the OP. Lots of good discussions going on everywhere. He just cant find them.
Thank you for your most valuable input.  I see way too many posts from people (especially bit-x people) that don't read any of the posts in the thread and post something indirectly related to OP's post to seem like they are engaging. Normally, they never return to topic. I'm not saying disable signatures but more liberal use of bans wouldn't be bad idea either. That might discourage this type of "thread fluffing" spam. Yes, the spam is annoying, but when you look at the bigger picture, signatures campaigns truly are good for the community. Now, call me biased because I personally am enrolled in a signature campaign, but the fact that there are programs out there that allow anyone to earn an honest amount of BTC just for participating in community discussion is great. Sure, it may lead to a bit of spam, but it's much easier to ignore the spam then ban the concept that is, in my opinion, one of the greatest goods in the community. lol you took something you could say in one line and turned it into a paragraph by repeating yourself. *clap* enjoy your .001. The reality is that signatures don't promote discussion. If you really want to talk about BTC, getting paid to talk about it won't make your comments more interesting or more pertinent to the discussion. It's awesome to get money for sitting on your computer and posting on a forum but don't bullshit and say it enhances the community or is "one of the greatest goods in the community" Come on "Now, call me biased because I personally am enrolled in a signature campaign, but the fact that there are programs out there that allow anyone to earn an honest amount of BTC just for participating in community discussion is great." Signature programs allow anyone enthusiastic about Bitcoin to get on without investing any money. Of course, there are other ways to earn considerable amounts of Bitcoin, most notably by providing special skills or services. However, for people who don't offer anything marketable to the community, signature campaigns are the next best option for getting involved. More than anything, that's why I feel they should be allowed and why I feel it is a positive feature of the community. |

But what happen if the seller take back his account by proving the ownership of old address after sell the account to someone? Is it still possible right?
Please respond, I'm curious about this one.
No need to worry if the buyer have signed message from the seller when buying accounts, that would serve as proof of account transfer and he cant claim it back Well when you buy an account you ask the seller to sign a message that that account is sold to you, and you must keep this message for future, so you are protected. - my opinion its not just your opinion, i agree with it as well. by stating in the signed message that the account will be sold to you, the seller can no longer claim the account back as theirs using a signed message. Quick question about signed messages: Now, from what I understand, for a signed message to be valid, it must have been fron an address associated to the account from a post or something at some point. If a person were to purchase an account, and then decide to resell it for whatever reason, how could he legitimately prove ownership without having access to an address that has been associated with the account for an extended period of time? |

Nothing is free. You can get "free" Bitcoins in the sense that no prior investment is required. If you want to stay away from faucets, signature campaigns provide an outlet for moderate earnings. If you have a particular skill, selling it in exchange for Bitcoin will be your best bet as far as efficiency and profit.

I've made around 5 Bitcoins total throughout my work within the community. I've lost some of that due to gambling and I also spent most of it on several purchases (largest one being a PC). Right now, I don't have 1 Bitcoin, but I should within a week or two.

If you need writing, I'm your guy. If you are interested, PM me for samples. I have worked with several news sites (themerkle.com, coinbuzz.com, bitsofnews.net) as well as many individuals within the Bitcoin community.

My last Bitcoin purchase was a Netflix account last week. Before that, it was a new PC which took place a little less than a month ago from newegg.com.

The only casino listed I have messed around with was Bitcasino.io, and personally, I thought it was a pretty solid site.
Anyways, it is not a casino, but the pachinko site is definitely my least favorite. I only played once, but the lack of labeling and direction on that site led me to believe I had one a large bet, when I actually hit the lowest multiplier on the board. I know nothing sketchy happened, but the quick rush I had thinking I won only made the disappointment when I realised I lost even worst, and I don't think I'll ever come back after that.

Obama has used previous trips to Africa to urge governments to decriminalise homosexuality, but heads led by Deputy President William Ruto have warned him not to talk about it. Has he ever requested the governments of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait.etc to decriminalize homosexuality? Don't have the balls for that? Homosexuality is a punishable offense in many of the African nations. But here, the punishment means a small (monetary) fine most of the times. On the other hand, in the GCC nations, homosexuality is a crime which is punishable by the death sentence. Are you sure about this? I saw something about laws against homosexuality in Africa. In the instance I heard (Uganda maybe?) the law against homosexuality made engaging in homosexual practices punishable by death. Yes. Uganda was an exception. But even there, homosexuality was not punishable by death. A convicted homosexual faced life in prison if the charges are proved, as per the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2014. That said, the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act was repealed in August 2014. As of now, homosexuality is not a punishable offense in Uganda. My mistake, I wasn't paying too close attention to the video I saw. Anyways, in response to your earlier comment: I'd assume Obama wouldn't speak out on human rights issues in the Middle East. Doing so could jeopardize trade relations, which is very important for the US government. |

I don't understand how anyone could take this offer seriously. There are many services out there that allow you to exchange amazon gift cards for Bitcoin (Purse.io, Localbitcoins) at a much lower premium than OP is offering. The only explanation for this advertisement is scam.
Really calling me a scammer? I need the BTC now, thus don't feel like going through a 3rd party service... If this isn't a scam you should put in some sort of effort to show you are serious. Will you go first? Are you willing to use escrow? Can you provide some sort of proof that shows you are, in fact, the owner of a $150 Amazon gift card? |

I sent you message. I look for lvl 45+ account. I have .1 to pay. Maybe a little more if training is good.
I don't think you will find a high level account at that low a price. 45+ takes weeks to achieve, and $25-30 isn't very much compensation for several weeks worth of playtime. |

Hello Bitcointalk, I recently set my friend up with a Bitcoin wallet after he explained that he wanted to purchase something, and the sellers only accepted Bitcoin. He installed an Electrum wallet and I left the room for a bit while he set it up. I loaned him some Bitcoins, but when he went to send the coins, a problem arose. You see, my friend is dyslexic, and it turns out he typed his password incorrectly... twice. He doesn't know what his password is, and he needs it to send coins. No problem I thought, just use your wallet generation seed to get access to your private key.... he didn't save the words, and needs to enter his password to view them. He also didn't set up 2FA.
To summarize, he doesn't know his password, and did not take any necessary backup measures. Is there any way he can get access to his coins back?
Sadly it is likely it is gone forever. He not saving seed is a huge mistake it warns on it I believe to save it safely. And to forget password it is hard to explain how hard it is to brute force a single wallet. Does he know generally what he typed as password? If he does you might be able to find someone to try to get in it. But you will need to have a good general idea of what password was or it will never happen. So depends on how much he remembers of password. But most likely gone forever. Out of curiosity how much was lost? Not a huge loss, only $15 or so worth of BTC. Luckily, he somewhat knows what the password is - he was trying to type out a password he has used before but supposedly butchered the spelling when inputting the pass. Hopefully he will be able to get by brute force the wallet with minor mispellings of the original password. From the research I have done, it appears that cracking the password is the only way. Honestly I'm happy to hear its only 15 dollars move on. Most likely even if you find someone reliable and trust worthy to do it, its not worth all the electricity, or time with the GPUs. You could try it yourself, and read up as a learning experience. But you will need to depending on length and I doubt he knows what position typo is in so it's a uphill battle. Yup, I figured this was the case. Luckily I sent him the coins as a loan, and he told me he will still pay me back even though he lost access. I'm having to hold onto the wallet just in case. Right now, it's not worth the effort to regain access, but if Bitcoin shoots up in price at some point in the future, it very well could be worth his time. |

Your old addresses will still work, however it is in good practice to use a new address whenever you can.
I don't personally use Greenbit, so I am not sure if the number of confirmations to register a payment can be changed or not. 6 confirmations seems a bit excessive, so I assume it is something that can be screwed around with.
Thanks for the clarification above. But just wondering whats the point to have a 'new' address for everytime receive. For safety reason? Using a different address every transaction helps with anonymity and security. I don't know all the details, but from what I have heard, if you use the same address over and over you become exponentially more at risk for someone to hack into your wallet. I am unsure the logistics of hacking into a wallet, but I would assume that the more you use the same address, the easier it is to track the address to a person, and once a hacker has an identity, they can attempt to steal your passwords that you could use to access your wallet. Do not quote me on this, this is just my educated guess. |

There is nothing you have to worry about as an average Bitcoin user in regards to legality. There are some areas where special licensing is required for Bitcoin based start ups, but absolutely nothing that outlaws Bitcoin usage for individuals (outside of performing activities that are illegal with USD, like buying drugs.)

Ahhhh... the infamous Pizza for Bitcoins thread. I've been through this bad boy many times, but each time it pops up, I feel the need to pay homage. Thank you for your contribution to the experiment Laszlo, you are our lord and savior. I hope you are living a peaceful life.

Is this cryptocurrency in any way associated with gambit.com? It's a gaming site of sorts. Currently, I think the games are all just for fun, but they started out as a Bitcoin gambling site for PvP board type games.

i will send the giftcard first to a trusted member. i'm looking to do this more then once so even if i was a scammer, i would be a stupid one. i used to do this at giftcarddrainer.com but they went out of business. thank you. edit: the card is a vanilla visa and their site is www.vanillavisa.comAre there not other alternatives available? I do not remember the site, but I recently traded a $50 Visa for Bitcoin through a similar site. The premium was around 20%, which is a lot, but still much less than what you are offering. |

Some have estimated it's 30 per cent of all Bitcoins. It coins haven't moved for years it's unlikely anyone still controls them, except for Satoshi's coins. The figure keeps increasing because of things like burned coins, such as the 2130 Bitcoins burned during the Counterparty distribution. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/11362827/The-625m-lost-forever-the-phenomenon-of-disappearing-Bitcoins.htmlNVIDIA engineer John Ratcliff calculated in June that “zombie coins”, defined as those which have lay dormant for at least a year and a half, accounted for 30 per cent of all Bitcoins. I can believe that 30% of all Bitcoins are lost. I personally know several people who were into Bitcoin early on, but got out early and didn't check up on it since. (One person I know sold 750 BTC once the price hit $10, for example). Even though I don't know anyone who has lost Bitcoins, I can certainly imagine some of the super early users just forgot about their coins or didn't think to save them when getting a new computer or something. |
