161  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: PayPal Integrating Bitcoin soon. on: August 21, 2014, 10:05:07 PM
PayPal's a scamming company who always gives buyers what they want even if they're thieves, you're right. This has been documented many times all over the net. However, PayPal will receive the Bitcoin and if you withdrawal the Bitcoin, you'd then have a negative PayPal balance if PayPal robs you via the buyer thief's dispute. If you don't clear the negative balance, you can't make money through PayPal. Don't worry as PayPal will die off once legitimate companies dealing in Bitcoin become more prominent. Their 500 million dollar days are limited.

A great idea for a new kind of B2B business would be to offer business banking as a service. (BBaaS) The only way to really do this safely is to have a trusted company. For instance, Coinbase could offer that service and people wouldn't think twice. They could charge a low fee which you could add to your markup. If you run an exchange, then the BBaaS company could provide you with an API to charge the customer's credit cards. Cash couldn't be accepted even locally unless you want to hold onto that cash in your own business which isn't generally safe in large quantities.

I'm not sure if Coinbase provides a portion of their API as a way to buy Bitcoin. If they do, then you could charge the customer's credit card with the API (would have to be HTTPS) and you'd get your Bitcoin credited to your account.

If everyone tells two people about Bitcoin each week, the number of people working with Bitcoin in some capacity could grow faster. As blockchain technology continues to evolve, people will see Bitcoin and blockchain technology every day. You won't be able to go somewhere without seeing something about Bitcoin. Think of how many places show prices in the local currency. If people start seeing BTC everywhere, then they'll need to learn more about it in order to shop while using Bitcoin.

This is both good and bad as it's harder to mine, but the network is more stable. With Hashlets coming into play, though, mining might become rejuvenated.
165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin addiction? Serious topic on: August 21, 2014, 09:43:57 PM
An addiction is something very difficult to break. Am I addicted? Yes. Are people who get up to go to work every day and come home and sleep, then do the same thing again the next day, addicted to money? Yes. Unfortunately the world is addicted to money because we're living in a prison planet where we need money to do anything. Everything is on lock down. If everyone just helped each other, then the world would be more productive and things wouldn't be locked down with money. People would follow their passions instead of their paycheck.

The One Word Currency (Bitcoin) is designed to remove the Middle Class. Only the poor (people without Bitcoin who never invested) and the rich (people who stored up some Bitcoin) will be left. Be sure to buy and hold so you won't be left behind. My goal is to get 30 BTC. I have my strategies. What's yours?
167  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: August 21, 2014, 09:28:07 PM
Get a metal fireproof safe that's professional grade. Hide the safe in a place no one even knows is there. (Ex. Remove a piece of drywall and store it inside. You'll need to make sure the box is small enough to fit, though. Patch the wall up so no one knows it's inside the wall.) If you're the artistic tyle, create a metal sculpture and place the SD Card inside that in such a way that you fully encompass the card. Be sure to pad the inside of the matal structure as the metal casing will act as a Faraday cage, but it will go hot when hit with EMPs. The inside will be shielded, but gravity will pull the chip against one of the walls. Be sure that you have static-proof wrap around your chip as well for extra protection. Hard Drives and other computer components are often shipped in static-proof bags that you can reuse.
168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paypal gave me an audit for buying a domain with the name bitcoin in it on: August 21, 2014, 09:22:17 PM
This is the reason why Bitcoin needs to take root. Corrupt fraudulent companies like PayPal need to just close their doors and go away. We don't need them or their shady business. We just need good 'ol Bitcoin to help move the world along financially. Currency has evolved. Their day is done. eBay will be next with all the new P2P marketplaces coming up. (One Market and Open Bazaar to name a couple) They had their chance, but they blew it with corruption.

Having the paper wallet would be helpful, but if he goes for the official Bitcoin wallet on Android, the phone creates a QR code for them to scan as well. Paper could get lost or ruined, but you'll always be able to scan the QR code from the Bitcoin wallet.

I have my thoughts on the pseudonym being a cover for the US government, but no one is sure. It's a digital currency that's global and the most prominent digital currency. It's going to take out the fiat currencies and some companies only accept Bitcoin for payment. If Bitcoin eventually becomes the only currency in existence, then perhaps it's the "one world currency" the Illuminati are trying to create.

Until Lightlord pays someone this go round and confirms it, I'm not posting anything more. I've seen him be consistent in the past, so hopefully he isn't going rogue.
He also donated to the forum, and I think hes legendary. If he trashes his account by spamming people, he just wasted 7000$ of donations and years of posting on here. For scamming some newbies for less than 0.1 btc? No way

Yeah, that doesn't add up. That's why I'd have to say he's going to come through. I just need to see things first hand as I don't trust people I don't know.

This is my first time running an ad campaign on here. How do I join this?


1. Put the signature code in your sig space.
2. Put ★☆★777Coin.com★☆★ What are you waiting for? in your personal message space.
3. Reply in this thread with your bitcoin address and the number of posts you have made before joining.


How do I get it to stop saying "a" at the end of my personal text and put the rest of the information in?
175  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HELP - How do i back-up my Multibit wallet ??? on: August 17, 2014, 09:11:10 PM
Thanks again, so basically i should be saving/updating my back up as much as possible as it changes/relates to the coins in my wallet ?

SORRY for asking so many questions, but if that's the case i should be backing up every time i earn a coin or at a set period  (every 3/4 days) ??

Cheers



No, you just need to back up your wallet when you add more addresses to it. The coin value is stored in the blockchain for security reasons.

Haha! Nice. Yep, you definitely have to pay some taxes or you'll get sent to prison if you get caught. It sucks, but it's one of the things that's often quite necessary, though tax dollars don't always go only to roads, schools, and so forth.

Sweet! That kid seriously has an interesting life, that's for sure. I wish I was that skilled at hacking. I'm an ethical hacker, but I doubt I could get into a NASA computer. However, the government here is often full of potholes because of all the red tape. The sites don't look all that hard to attack, but the military would probably try much harder for their security. I've never hacked the government as I don't have a reason to, but it would be interesting to see if I could do it with permission.
