That's definitely logical to put it somewhere with so much foot traffic. Good for them for taking the initiative! I hope it does well and other cou tries can see the value to expand bitcoin acceptance   (I really only care about Canada haha. Others would be nice for overall adoption though.)

Bullshit. Don't use any online wallet ever. When are people going to learn this? Does it really take a theft of everything in your wallet to realize they're the crappies, least secure wallets ever? Seriously. Google it. Don't take my word for it. Blockchain.info is terrible for bitcoin losses and they blame their customers. What kind of idiot would trust their money with a company like that?

"Your credit card got stolen you say? Well that sucks. I would suggest you get a new antivirus software and start collecting up some money to pay us back."

 "Um what the fuck? It's your incompetence that made me lose my money. Your shitty service has lost people thousands of dollars. Because it's your fault I expect you to pay me back."

 "Nope. Eat shit and die. Bye" (paraphrasing of course)

Would you stay with that credit card company? Obviously not. But people accept it with blockchaon.info like they're the 'official bitcoin wallet'. Even the title of this thread. There is not a password on the Blockchain. You are talking about a website that may as well be imastealyourshit.com. They have nothing to do with the Blockchain. You got fooled. If you haven't been robbed blind yet then get the hell out of there!!

How is that still not taken!? My God! It feels like it's Beer ages at this point.


I don't have anything really against my local currency and don't necessarily disagree with anything going on in my country but I would still much rather use bitcoins because I believe in what they stand for more than a dollar.

Holy crap ya. That is absolutely ridiculous and I'm sure it's based on AML/KYC regulations (because that's what these always seem to be about). It's so annoying that these areas are so highly regulated when bitcoins can't be. So when you mix the two it's such a mess!

It's been a little all over the map in the last 24h but wow, we're seeing some great increases. This is showing the true value of bitcoins now and not just the aftermath of a large hack. It's a win for everyone! Let's see if we reach an ath now!

It's just never going to happen. Doesn't matter if you write it in perfect English because this is your first post. Show us you're trusted? Wtf? No. Just no.

No collateral no loan.

According to your trust this has been an ongoing issue for you. Why? It's the only way people on this forum prove that they're the original owners of an account. You already know that, so keep access to your old addresses.

You can sign from any address in an HD wallet on mycelium btw. Saw your post on zazarb's thread. So back up you're keys for the future because people will ask for this again if you need a loan in the future.

 Please sign a message from 1NDrW75zfKPuwh639825vbHbEVkKem5MSK which is a change address of your used in this transaction with ghibly73 back in March.


That would prove you are in fact the original owner of this account.

Haha exactly. We're a society completely run on ads so I wouldn't ever disable them. It's their livelihood afterall. Maybe the button to remove ads should remove your ability to post a signature  that would give people less incentive to check the box off.

Honestly whenever I see a newbie with an avatar I assume it's a sold/hacked account and have a look at older posts vs new posts. It's sad that's what it's come to but honestly a lot of these accounts have a ton of potential activity and scammers/spammers can pick them up relatively cheaply compared to an actual full/senior member.

Now what exactly do you mean by blocked? Did transactions not go through? You you have transaction IDs or could you post the address you're trying to send from?

They're not useless at all. Rather than using a VPN or proxy constantly it's so much easier to just anonymously mix your coins. I would suggest everyone mix their coins regularly because why not? It's a small price to pay for financial freedom.

Well you have to have fiat to survive at the moment. My bank doesn't take bitcoin for the mortgage payment haha.

I'd say, in terms of what I need/use it's probably 80% fiat 20% bitcoin 0% gold (because wtf, who uses gold for anything?)

It's as secure as any other documents you keep in your house I'm sure. I don't have people in my house that I don't trust so I'm not all that concerned about someone stealing a paper wallet from me!

In North America that's very true but in a lot of European countries you'll almost never see an automatic vehicle. So it also depends how smart the people in your family or people in your house regularly are.

Now I didn't see anything on hardware wallets. Are we lumping them in with something else or not considering them cold storage?

It should be fairly obvious when he makes a new account anyways.

Scans digital goods section. 14 gift cards at 40%. Yelling at people who call him a scammer/theif. Make 10 threads for loans while simultaneously making 15 threads trying to sell that account for $5, $3.50, $2, $1, $.01 you know the drill!

Or when he uses the same address because he's a complete moron hahaha.

A simpler solution would be to have mandatory automatic backups of everything at work. I know of rabsomware where they wanted a certainly amount to decrypt some files that they had been encrypting without the owner's knowledge.

There's no point in sending the bitcoins though because even if you do who's to say you'll get your files back?

And as previously stated, this is very old news. It didn't make a din the price and I wouldn't expect a surge because of it (although we've had some nice rises lately ).

Looks likeDrHappyPants got scammed and left you some negative feedback about it. What's up with that? Scamming for $3.50? Wow you're shadier than I originally thought. Care to explain sketchy?

Your xpub key is your master public key. No don't share it because if someone ever found the private key to any of your addresses within that HD wallet they could easily generate any other of your addresses. Sharing your private key would be a bigger issue because then anyone can spend your bitcoins.

On a side note, blockchain.info is horribly unsecure and I would suggest a desktop/non Web wallet such as bitcoin core, electrum, bread wallet, mycelium or a hardware wallet / paper wallet made offline on a secure system. They're actually secure options and your bitcoins can't be stolen from blockchain.info like soooo many other people's have in the past. Just google it. It's frustrating that anyone still uses them. If a bank lost your money would you still bank with them when they tell you it's your fault? Not a chance. Well with bitcoins you don't need these asshole theives, you can store them on your own, however you want. Get your coins out asap. They're just as vulnerable as any exchange you see on the news that's been hacked.

Why give them negative trust for a week when it shows that if they changed their email and / or password on their trust profile for a month? They've already implemented a way better system than what you're proposing, so I'll assume Theymos is going to pass on this one
