15821  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [2015-04-03] The 5,000Btc hidden treasure, and the key to finding it. on: April 08, 2015, 05:40:49 PM
As many of you caught on to 4 months ago when some info leaked on the forum There was a hidden secret about the 10 wooden coins i made for 2015. Today you find out what was worth $1,000 to protect.

I have always been a fan of hidden treasure movies and the concept of something being on this planet that nobody has found that is worth enough to change someones life. My favorite movies have pretty much always been the Da Vinci Code and the National Treasure movies. Over the years as life has passed me by i had often thought about my legacy. Making my mark on history. Inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto himself and the loads of money i saved re-stocking my warehouses this year buying wood from you all directly i decided that now was my time.

Hidden on this planet somewhere is a 22" long 8" round titanium air proof time capsule container. Inside that container is 1,000 bronze bitcoins. Each one of those bronze coins is engraved with the private key to an address that holds 5BTC. Total inside the container there is key's to 5,000BTC.

I have made and sold 9 2015 wooden physical bitcoins listed below. Each one of those coins has hidden in or on it a part of the puzzle. The key to decoding the first part of that puzzle is coin #10 which after much though is being given to someone whom i already chose from this forum. In order to decode each individual wooden coin you will have to have #10 in its physical presence and in order to solve the entire first clue you will need to posses and have all 10 coins in the same physical location. The clues in the coins were crafted in a fashion that you will never find them let alone figure them out via photographs, with x-rays, or in any fashion other than having all the coins in the same location at the same time to solve the puzzle.

These 10 coins are scattered around the globe from the U.S.A to Vietnam, Germany, The Netherlands, The UK & Singapore. Inherently making it difficult or a process to put all 10 of them in the same location. Once the first clue has been solved by decoding the 10 coins it will lead you to another clue which leads to another. 5 clues in total which must be found and solved in order to gain the location of the titanium capsule which holds the 5,000BTC (or roughly $1,277,000usd at current value) treasure.

For reasons which i am sure are obvious to most of you, much like Satoshi this will be my last post or presence on the world wide web to protect my identity.

Thank you to all of you whom purchased my artworks from this forum and a very special thanks to all of you whom sold me wood over these past months which made this all possible. Regardless of the poor treatment of the self-righteous trolls and children on this forum, this treasure is my parting gift to all of you who support bitcoin in hopes that it can bring at least 10 of you together from around the globe with bitcoin at the center of it all.

Coin #1
Coin #2
Coin #3
Coin #4
Coin #5
Coin #6
Coin #7
Coin #8
Coin #9
Coin #10 - The recipient of Coin #10 can post pictures of it when he receives it if he / she wishes to do so.



FAREWELL MY FRIENDS !!!!

Who the hell would hide something that's worth $1.2m in crypto? Wouldn't that be dumb at all? Must be a charity.

I'm confused, it looks to me that coins 1-9 were sold to 3 or 4 people. And #10 was given away to someone. So the reward will be taken by those 3-5 people who purchased the coins. Don't really seem random but more staged to those few people. . . Any of these coins for sale?


I messaged all of the owners of the coins, it seems they are all for sale except TECSHARE's as i[/color] had never received a reply from him, although not mentioning any names one of the coin owners thinks his coins are going to go for a small fortune now so its highly unlikley that any single person will be able to buy them all.

It took me a while to put it together that "TH" stood for TerraHasher. It is my understanding that his account got banned from the person i[/color]was talking to so i[/color] dont think he will be much help unless one of you know if he has a new account or how else to contact him. I did find out what the whole paying to remove his posts was about though. It seems TerraHasher came across some information from a P.M. that got hacked pertaining to one of WC's customers who was asking about "where all those bitcoins were going to" as the customer sent payment to WC for an art piece and the payment got transfered to an address with a large balance that was dispensing 5BTC each to a bunch of addresses that started with 1Wood or 1Tree and WC replied simply that "he was giving them away once all 10 coins were sold" When TH found out about it i[/color] guess he asked in that thread if he was really going to give away 5,000BTC once all 10 coins were sold or something to that effect.

I see a lot of arguments from either side of the argument about the legitimacy of this all and i[/color] really hate to take sides as i[/color] can see pretty clearly how fast a mob rises up around here but i[/color] do have to comment that i[/color]see a lot of truth in what tecshare said after i[/color] looked through all that negative feedback on WC's account then looked into who sent it all. Nubbins who appears to be the instgator of the whole thing unless i[/color] missed something has since been removed from the default trust list for his constant abuse of it like what he did to WC. CanaryInTheMine himself one of the accusers and use to be reputable people here on the forum has since been bumped down on the trust list because of his abuse, and pretty much every other name on the list that left WC neg feedback is clearly a troll or child as when you look through their own feedback both sent and recieved all you find is a huge temper tantrum and people negging them for being so careless and abusive with the trust system.

Putting all that aside, again this is only my personal opinion, but WoodCollector is gone, there is evidence that the mention of this secret has been known by a few forum members for many many months so this is not something he just cooked up two days ago, and the fact that he made 0 mention of this treasure until the day he dissappeared which shows it was not about inflating the value of his coins to try and scam people with this treasure into paying more for the coins and also that no matter what angle i[/color]look at it from there is 0 way that WC would stand to make a profit from any of this if it were a scam or otehrwise. I myself am about 90% certian that this treasure is real and those coin owners are some lucky son's-of-BTC's

I think the entire point behind it all was that it would be so hard to get all 10 coins in one place, even more so that somehow the clues on each coin are hidden in or on the coin in a fashion which cannot be decoded without having coin #10 in the presence of it. If it was going to be easy WC might as well of just started throwing private keys woth 5BTC each in the streets of major citys and there would be no treasure hunt at all. If your[/color] going to go out a legend or leave behind a legacy i think a super difficult treasure that could take years if not decades to find would be the way. Although by the time it is found 5,000BTC will probably be worth a few dollars if even that much as i'm sure that SHA-256 will be obsolete by then.

Wow, i think i just wrote a novel. LOL

Exact same grammar errors by the original WoodCollector ^

Hi Woodie, nice to see you scamming again or more so bullshitting and lying. lol  Grin Grin Grin


Well, I basically wasted my time reading this thread. At first I thought that there was indeed 5000 bitcoins hidden on those woodcraft, but seeing that OP is basically lying, I might as well enjoy the show and read for further comments. Grin Popcorns, anyone?
15822  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if YOU could put 1 feature, change, whatever, into the Bitcoin protocol? on: April 08, 2015, 05:26:20 PM
Imagine having a nice beer at a local bar and suddenly you realize that the guy next to you can't pay for his drink - he forgot his wallet. Since you are a nice person and made some money from investing in Bitcoin, you pay his tab.
It turns out, this guy is Bitcoin's very own core developer gmaxwell and because he is also such a nice guy, he offers you to implement one feature into the Bitcoin protocol - no questions asked.

What would you ask him to implement?

edit: sure, no one would be forced to use that fork. Just imagine that this is the only valid version of Bitcoin everyone using Bitcoin has to use form then on!

If I was given a chance to at least implement one feature in my mind, I would say it is the ability to recover all the lost wallets that haven't seen any activities for a long period of time. But definitely that is not an ideal feature to have because the potential of getting the balances of even the active users may be at risk, so I'd rather not wish for any of the features in my mind to be implemented in bitcoin.
15823  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: April 08, 2015, 04:24:10 PM
This thread is actually quite interesting to be honest, I live in Hong Kong and the "ENTRY" level salary for a Fresh Graduate is right now HKD $12,000 per month or USD $1,550. Now normal working hours are 9 hours inclusive of 1 hour lunch; so 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. That brings it to a hourly wage of USD $9.68.

Now at that salary level, you'll end up paying roughly USD $65 in income tax. Your company will provide you basic medical and dental which should suffice if you don't end up with a life threatening injuries. Per month, your wages will be deducted 5% (USD $77.50) for a Mandatory Retirement Fund which your company will also need to match; effectively giving you USD $155 per month towards your retirement.

This all seems decent; however, housing is not affordable in Hong Kong. A 150-200 sqFoot flat is going to cost you USD $775 per month to rent. Utilities (Electricity, Gas, Water) should be another USD $50 per month. After your Mandatory Retirement Fund/Accommodations+Utilities that leaves you with USD $647.50. There are other accommodations which are cheaper but for arguments sake lets make it easier.

That amount seems good; but you can never afford to save up for a down payment for an apartment or raise a family on this type of salary. Apartments to purchase in Hong Kong start are USD $580,000 for a 350 - 400 sqFoot flat. If you were a young couple on a basic salary able to pay USD $500 per month towards your loan of an apartment, it would take you 96 years not including any interest rates/fees. You'd be dead before you even paid it off. Most young people here live with their families because of these high living cost and rely on Government Subsidized housing which isn't being built at a fast enough pace.


I (Myself) am not a fresh graduate and hold a middle level position. I have come across many fresh graduates and feel that times are getting harder or that many are becoming unable to manage their finances. The OP say saving 20% is a suitable number, I myself save 40% of my monthly salary just for any emergencies.

Any other folks care to shed some light for Asia Pacific or even Hong Kong?

I also live in the Southeast Asian Region, particularly in the Philippines. It is not an economic-progressive country and also not that slow in terms of development, but the living conditions are way below of what you have stated in here but still most people here cannot afford to live a "decent" life. To get a hint of how much on average does a normal Filipino individual need to have in order to get by a day, I'll give you some numbers.

To live decently in the Philippines--particularly in the urban area--you need to have at least Php 25000 ($500+) a month to satisfy your needs (and sometimes, you can buy what you want with that money) and other necessities in life. In terms of savings, the average cost that a minimum wage earner pay for is only Php 1000 (+ or - $25, and the figure came from what the pay slip of my father states) not much, yes, for a typical Filipino, but to the most poverty-stricken ones, it is already a big amount. So going back to what I'm saying, the costs for utility is $50, for the rent, it can go low from $25 (that's not a decent house to live in, believe me) or up to $200, depending on how big is the house, of course. As for the food, you can live with only Php 100 a day ($2-$3), and I must say that if you managed to do this, you can live in the country for long. Cheesy So to sum it up, you have $175 to live within a month which is ridiculously low compared to what other country has. If every individual in our country follows a strict discipline on saving money, the number of poor people in this nation might be decreased. It is ideal for every person to have a job and earn some money, but the fact is most of the jobs here in the Philippines are underpaid, and a great number of Filipinos are still unemployed. With it, poverty sure is present within every corner. Also, I must admit that the Filipinos are spending too much on what they didn't really need; most aren't thrifty and just spend money on things that are in the trend. Colonial mentality is what fucked up this country big time. Most (if not all) Filipinos end up spending on things that they see on other countries rather than save their money for the future.

Can bitcoin really do anything to solve world poverty problem? Brian Singer certainly think so. He thinks that Bitcoin can bring minimum everyday earning for people more swiftly than any other economy system.

Is it possible?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2015/04/02/how-bitcoin-will-end-world-poverty/

I think it can end the world poverty if it gets mainstream adoption and is distributed widely, hope it happens soon  Cheesy

Really? Okay, say bitcoin get mainstream adoption and it's already widely-used all around the world, does that mean that it will end poverty because it get worldwide attention? No, that's not the case in here, and bitcoin isn't designed to be the savior of humanity from the chains of poverty. Even if we have the means to help doesn't mean we should do it all the time. Sometimes, we only need to teach them and not feed them in order for them to gain things they need to know for their future.
15825  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Losses on: April 08, 2015, 06:43:31 AM
Added together .... I would say I lost about 1 Bitcoin to older Cloud mining services that never ROI or closed their doors, when cloud mining was still the "In thing"  Angry

At some time in your life, you make poor investment decisions and I write them off as "school fees" not mistakes. The better decisions always make up for the bad ones...

I would rather make three bad decisions and one GREAT decisions than not making any decisions at all. {If you take no calculated risks, you will not succeed}

I have read most of the books from successfull business men and women and they have all failed in many of their previous attempts at making a success, until they succeeded in one big project and that propelled them into greater success.  Grin

Let's face it, the reality is that to be able to see success, one must fail first in order to be motivated and set things right. Decision-making is the most important part in one's success. One bad decision and you lose, but sometimes, executing bad plans often result to an even greater success, because if you're the positive one, you'll treat those as "school fees" (as to what you have said) and continue going further with enough knowledge not to repeat the same process again.

I will sell my bitcoins if trouble arises and different circumstances pushes me to do so. But without any reason I consider valid, I wouldn't sell not even a part of my hodlings. I'd rather wait than be sorry in the end.

I think bitcoin will never end with poverty

It is not its objective and it won't get that.

Bitcoin is focused on tech people and poor people is not with advanced technology.
And what would they do?dump,with its consecuent snowball dump in the price ending with people with less fiat than before.

Not its objective at all

It's not that bitcoin is focused on tech-savvy people. It's just that the tech-savvy people are the ones who get to know bitcoin before the average Joe public. It is true that most countries that are within the shadows of poverty (especially the third-world developing counties) do not have sufficient resources to be technologically-advanced, though at some point, bitcoin may cover a different medium aside from only using the internet. There can be many possibilities that can be achieved with bitcoin. It will soon reach the masses; see a widespread adoption, but the fact remains the same: it will never end poverty.
15828  Economy / Economics / Re: Trading question on: April 07, 2015, 06:13:35 PM
Hi everyone I am new to the forum and the world bitcoin.

I've found something that have seen many that are safe differences between different pages market. The problem is that I could not achieve realize these differences always a different problem. For example I see in Bter a coin to 443 and meeting at ccedk or cryptsy kind to me 661 and transfer it to sell at that price and stay with a difference.

At the time of operation that magically low price and I lose the money. Perhaps you can not do what I want or how it works?

Thanks everyone

PD: I happened to do this to avoid having to wait up a coin doing it within the same page

In order to be successful in doing this, you need to be quick and active in different exchanges. You might also want to consider creating a bot that triggers a buy/sell whenever it sees a profitable spread. Those people who do this with experience tend to get a good profit, while on the other hand, the inexperienced trader end up losing their money because of the pressure that is present in doing an arbitrage. I suggest you not to enter arbitraging if you are not experienced and knowledgeable enough to do so.

I don't know what entered the mind of this guy and scammed you for only 0.02 bitcoins. I wouldn't do that if I was the man. And also, changing the password of an account that is given as a collateral is already a breach of contract, a sign that the user doesn't have the intention to give back the money. Hope you sort this out, OP. But I don't think that this guy will pay you back. Who knows, the reputation of the exchange depends on this man's hands. If he doesn't pay you back, a future scam might happen too.
15830  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin halving on: April 07, 2015, 05:45:33 PM
With Bitcoin halving soon does that mean the price of Bitcoin has to double or is mining just going to stop. Another thought is mining is going to get more efficient. What are some of your thoughts on this matter?

Over a year before the halving happens. Since the block reward is going to be reduced in half, I would assume that miners that cannot cope up in terms of expenses may shut down their machines for good, and that is if the price didn't go up. But as I've said, it is over a year before this happens. Many things could take place along the way, so I'm not really sure what the halving may bring.
15831  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Really End World Poverty? on: April 07, 2015, 05:32:08 PM
The few of point are correct.  And the other are wrong. If you less or reduce the budget for army. Who will protect us? From criminals,terrorist? And reduce the corruption? Why you said to reduce?   The right is to stop corruption because the taxes that they get from us they will put in their on pocket. The sevices that should they gave to us they not do for us. And the correct point is to educate them because this will help to understand the situation of the world and they can solved because they have studded. And the pamily planning. This would help to reduce population and the teenagers will be alert that i they not plan they lives will be destroyed and the lives of their childreb will be ruined.
No it is definitely not wrong. Military budgets are often way too high while the country has other problems that need financial aid. Take the US for example. Look at its military budget. A lot of that money get wasted on projects that are doomed to fail from start.

But armies are also criminals they just like a policeman but in the whole country. But in a country that has no corruption its great to hear that because their economy will grow and becomes better. And bitcoin is only a currency or money so the btc cant end the world poverty.  Its all up to the people who live with good intention and not doing anything wrong or destroying the law.
Indeed. If the country had no corruption and a functional and working law system everything would be much better. There might almost be no poor people in it at all. Bitcoin does not solve this. Bitcoin can support this though enabling different and faster means of money transfer.
From your example us military have a high budget because the us army helped the the other country to fight terorrist like in  the middle east and also isis. So the budget of the us for their army is not high because they need money to buy the needs of the us army.
Thats right bitcoin is the internet money and it can help by donating in the charity to help the poor.

First of all, I do not believe that the US government did not help the terrorists to attack the World Trade Center. No radar readings? Plain bullshit. Given that they spend billions of dollars into military weaponry and gadgets, I highly doubt that they didn't see that thing coming. Second, bitcoin isn't meant to be the savior of the poor. We can't just donate and donate to the poor people. The thing is, most people see that donating to the poor is beneficial to them in the long run when in fact it only helps them get through life in a couple of days/weeks. Why not help the poor get a decent job to get a decent salary and expect that they wouldn't depend in donations to help them live?

Ehem..

Never got scamed or hacked (yet). Lost ~BTC1 total combined on gambling sites, no regrets though, no risk no glory

And those people who had the guts to take the risks end up winning big time or losing big time. It's just a matter of right execution of plans and decision-making. Luck can sometimes be a part of success too.
15833  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Becoming a Global Currency on: April 07, 2015, 05:09:13 PM
For the first time, when I look at the offers on LocalBitcoins.com, there are a half-dozen currencies ahead of the US dollar, offering a higher price for Bitcoin than US dollar users.

Euros, South African Rands, New Zealand Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Polish Zloty, Malaysian Ringgits.

It is no longer just the US, EU or even China driving adoption.  There is a market for Bitcoins in major countries all over the world.
These mean that BTC currency is prefer than other currency . This mean that BTC is the greatest of all currencies and also the price of btc will become higher because of the offering of the users.

I think you got it wrong. A high number of users preferring a currency over the other doesn't mean that it is the greatest, and because of the high preference rate, that doesn't mean that the price will also be high. The price of btc still relies on the supply and demand. If more people buy = high price. If less people buy = low price, but this doesn't mean that the price is solely dependent on the supply and demand. There are also different factors that come into play in regards to the price.

You mean that the real money effect the price of btc and it will say if the price of btc are going down or up.

"Fiat" is a better term than "real money".

No, the price of fiat doesn't determine whether the price of btc goes up or down, and again, we go back to supply and demand. BTC and fiat are two different entities as far as the concept and feature goes.
15834  Economy / Speculation / Re: The next bubble could well surprise even the early traders... on: April 07, 2015, 05:00:22 PM
Yeah, I think one of the biggest advantages we now have may be the sheer mass of people with a lot of money lying around watching Bitcoin to see if it bubbles again at some point. If it does, they will enter. Just wait for a trend-reversal...

what's the point of waiting when you can enter now at $250 instead of buying bitcoin once a bubble is in the making.
people will end up buying at much higher price. best is buy now and be ready for it once it happens.

Apparently, there aren't many people in this world that believes in bitcoin's potential. As history is stating, the majority of the people in the world tend to follow their "leaders" and those people who are deemed as their "model", same as to what is happening in the financial and economic sector. Most people wouldn't risk their money if they do not have enough knowledge and the guts to take the risks and accept losses whenever they fail. They tend to follow a successful man rather than shape their own future. And guess who are the successful entities that I'm talking about? They are the risk-takers. Bitcoin has a lot of potential; it's just that people aren't seeing it, still sticking to fiat and believing that it could do them good. But once the "successful ones" entered the bitcoin scheme, majority of the people who wants to be successful will soon follow their footsteps.
15835  Economy / Speculation / Re: The next bubble could well surprise even the early traders... on: April 07, 2015, 04:54:27 PM
Just a theory, but I have a gut feeling that if we witness another bubble cycle, the majority of traders will underestimate the peak, possibly by a significant amount.

Why?

IMO the last two bubbles were nothing in the grand scheme of things. Even in the runup to 1200 USD, I would have guessed that maybe 1 in 10 people would have heard of Bitcoin. I think that figure could well be closer to 5 in 10 by now.

We have the two largest stock exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ) giving credibility to the technology, and people seem to be educating themselves more so than they would have tended to a few years back

We will hopefully have the BIT providing access for institutional investment.

Wall street want their slice of the pie. But the pie is too small right now. So they're gonna have to make it bigger.

Why not load up now, drive the price to tens of thousands of dollars, and then cash out for ridiculous profits before repeating the whole thing.

This wouldn't even be market manipulation - simply buying an asset deemed to be undervalued, and then selling at profit. Natural market forces would drive the bubble thus nobody could be accused of manipulation, and it would be very easy money.

Am I missing something, or is this whole thing a lot more simple than most people are willing to believe?



A nice insight. During the ath at Nov. 2013, only a few people all over the world knew about this bitcoin thing. When the price skyrocketed, many people--particularly those who thought of bitcoin as a legitimate 'get-rich-quick' scheme'--entered the scene and thus add to the buying and selling force. Some who faced losses in buying bitcoins left the markets, but most of them don't, and stayed. The point is there are more users who might add up to the buying force in the market once another bubble occurs. If the Wall Street and other major players in the economic scene invested in bitcoin, then people who are looking for an opportunity to get some hefty profit may (or may not) invest into bitcoins as well. Seeing that most of the major financial institutions are also invested, they might feel safe in having this investment. As a result, the graphs will see a horizontal uptrend, but no one will be accused of manipulation because, well, there are many people who are willing to buy bitcoins at any given price. The bubble could explode any time, but the cycle could be easily repeated because there are many people who might support the next bubble. Well if another bubble will happen, I can at least say that it will be bigger this time, given that the exposure bitcoin gained over the past years is higher compared to what it had om 2009-2013.
15836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Losses on: April 07, 2015, 04:16:48 PM
not losses as such but would have made extra 10k+ if i held onto key btcd and some other alts a bit longer and sold at the right time

But still it is better than losing BTC. Any profit gained is good, even if it's a small amount. One of the principles that the Chinese follow, that's why most of the business tycoons in my country are Chinese.

Blockchain.

An innovative technology capable of storing and displaying transactions all over the world that is monitored by a network of computers and can be seen by the general public, though the data displayed cannot be altered or changed by any means.

Haven't lost that much in BTC. Lost 0.02 in bitcoins because of gambling, but that's all that I can remember. In trading, I always profit (even though it's only a small gain, I still treat it as a gain, because why not?) from alts, especially those that I think were only pump and dump coins. The last pump and dump coin that I took part on was BlackCoin, and I must admit that I made a pretty good profit from it.

You might try http://www.purevpn.com/order/

I don't have very fast internet here, but they were able to saturate my 25 Mbps bandwidth (both up and down) when I did a test a couple of weeks ago to one of their European nodes.  Since they allow you to choose from a couple of dozen countries for your VPN host, you should expect different results depending on which country you connect through.

The have a special going on right now for $8.95 per month.  Seems a lot cheaper than the $25/month cryptovpn wants.


Cryptovpn is 9.95 a month

Yes as sparkeddev said we are http://cryptovpn.me/

Our prices are $9.95 per month.



Hello CryptoVPN, I would like to ask how many servers do you have in SEA and what speed should I expect once I avail your premium service? Any reply regarding to my question will greatly help me decide. Smiley


This is a close server in singapore

I'm connecting via USA http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4268928600

So it seems that using your service is indeed good for me, given that you have some servers in Singapore (which is closer to my country than any other servers). I will try your service for next week, might as well subscribe for 3 months and see where will it lead me. Another question: would my subscription affect the speed? As my baseline speed is 3mbps, but I get 1.5mbps on average. Sad

No vpn's Don't speed up your connections sadly,
But it adds a few extra layers of security, Features can be found on the home page https://cryptovpn.me/

Then what I'm seeing about their advertisements and other people's review isn't true? Doesn't a VPN service help in terms of connection speed? I thought it only depends on what server am I connected to. If there is a server in Singapore, then I might be getting faster connections. Also, based on the reviews that I've read earlier, it seems that using a VPN help them in attaining faster speeds than what they've paid for. Sad

If your already using other services like a vpn and get one closer yes it could boost you but only to the amount your isp limit is set.

But speeds set by isp no they are basiclly lying vpns don't make your connection go from your normal 3mb to like 80mb.

Oh I see now. Having read some in-depth reviews about VPNs yesterday, they only route my connection to another route that is not congested and not controlled by those ISP (that is what I understand, at the least). Even if it doesn't exceed my internet speed limits, still I want to try using VPNs, as it will add another layer of security for me, and at the same time, increase the performance (if not the speed) of my connection if ever I connect to a server near me. Thanks for your reply! Cheesy
