Did you pay with bitcoins? Please don't tell me you paid with bitcoins without escrow.

what do you expect them to do about it?

A coin is a really bad source of entropy though.

that's not how you use paper wallets

take any computer, disable the wifi/internet and you'll be virus-free forever. Tinfoil hat approved!

Yes
No, although you can use raw transactions API or coin control fork.

Assuming another bitcoind instance is already running:

xDeathwing obviously isn't going pay $60 to sitnicki. As it stands, xDeathwing may get a scammer tag and sitnicki only got 10% of what he was owed.  But if the two can negotiate an amount that xDeathwing can pay, and sitnicki is happy with, and they'll both end up in a better position.

That's a pretty lame excuse. Imagine if BFL/Avalon said "delivery on December 2013 or your money back!", but later changed it to December 2016 and claimed it was a "typo".

So why are you posting this in technical support? You don't need support so stop crying wolf. Hell, why are you posting this at all? Anyone moderately interested in bitcoin should know the blockchain is 10gb.

That article simply states Microsoft handed NSA communications from its communication products. It does not in any way prove Microsoft has a NSA backdoor in windows.

I hate to engage in ad homiem attacks, but infowars kind of sucks. Also, the info wars article isn't related to snowden at all, because it was published 5 years ago.

Aside from that, a quick skim of the article reveals that it only alleges google of selling equipment and the "Intellipedia" to the NSA. There's nothing in either of the articles to suggest that windows 8 or chrome has some sort of 3 letter government agency remote backdoor capable of compromising anything related to bitcoin. If you're extra paranoid, you can always turn off the wifi. NSA can't get you with their backdoors if you have no Internet, right? Unless... they use HAARP for NSA spying as well :p

Do you have evidence for those allegations, or are they just assumptions?

To my knowledge, Chrome only logs user telemetry by default. You can opt-out in settings. Windows 8 (or any other version) is much the same. Nothing in either of them that can compromise wallet security. You're just being paranoid.

Why? because of privacy concerns, or just unfriendly UI?

Why would you think Windows 8 or chrome = bitcoin stealer?
