I know it is a tad late, but you really should have a back up of your wallet.dat and may be even have your coins spread out between two different clients.

Don't panic and try to recover your wallet.dat with pywallet first. It usually works.

-salvagewallet is a parameter you type when you start pywallet.

This is a true test of confidence. Believers will buy and doubters will sell. Which type are you? I am pround to say I am the former, but I am not investing my life savings.

Newbies have to loose money to ponzi scams at least once before they learn. Sending money to ponzis is like giving money to strangers. Gambling at a dice site has better odds.

Bitcoin is tipping the financial systems over, it has many enemies, some very powerful too. PayPal, Western Union, credit card companies, banks, the list goes on. Any one of these companies are willing to pay for a anti-bitcoin campaign.

What this means is, bitcoin is fundamentally so sound that corporations feels threatened.

Some faucets are scams, they don't pay and disappear in weeks. If you visit longstanding faucets, they do not scam. You will not get rich form faucets, it is a start for newbies.

I said on another thread that people keep revising predictions of support levels. It was $300, then $250, May be $200 is the next guess? I remain optimistic we will get back to $300 in a few months. Keep calm and don't ever sell all of your coins.

I like this idea and wants to know when someone mentions my name. This will be abused and I will  end up switching it off. There is not much point add this feature if everyone disables it.

The available space is too small and no links are allowed. Advertisers do not get many referrals from there, so they pay pennies for private message ad space. I think it is fair.

If no blocks are mined, difficulty will not adjust. If all miners stalls and restarts in 2 weeks, difficulty stays high until the next adjustment block.

DDes are increasing the block size upper limit, not the minimum size. Pools can continue mining 200k blocks as they do now. IMO, it is not a major concern.

His warning is legit, but he is scaring people off bitcoin. I think new users should start off with a small amount of coins to learn and not avoid it completely.

Trezor software is open source. Anyone can audit the code and if he thinks there is a security issue, you can voice out.

Do you think bitstamp has made enough money on the past to cover their losses? Are the owners better off keeping the exchange or wrapping it up? These are the main questions I am asking myself. I honestly hope they pull through. It is going to be difficult.

The moment OP shares the method, dice sites will be patched to stop this exploit. OP should sell the method to dice site owners.

I support bitcoin, but it is hard to say where is the next support level. People has been saying $300 will hold, it broke through. Now they say $250 will hold. It is a tough call, but I remain optimistic and will say we we will be back at $300 if bitstamp resumes trading.

Escrow needs to be trusted and green positive trust is a minimum entry requirement. You can offer your service, but I don't think anyone will be interested.

Bitcoin devs are coding, reviewing and testing everyday. It your own ignorance you did not actively seek information about their work and post trash like this.

I do not trust any company or site enough to invest my bitcoin. The risks are much too high. I might end up loosing my capital for a small profit.

Isn't true that you don't actually have full control of your coins there? You don't have the private keys to your addresses? If anyone is using Coinbase as a wallet, he doesn't own any bitcoins.

Having an excellent mobile app is no substitute for private keys.

You are already full compensated for your lost bets. What more do you want?
