I put the response on the FTC forum thread. Sorry to see FTC go but some new coins are coming soon!
Ah, read it. Well that sucks delisting it. I hope someday in the future you'll accept it again. Out of interest, other than Bitcoin, what is the coin you've received most business in? Have you had many orders with Sexcoin yet? Thanks.

I think these ATMs will probably start to pop up all over the place in 2014, so they might not be such a niche item quite quickly.

No one can buy it - its too expensive
That's ridiculous. Anyone can buy it, and you don't need to buy a whole coin. Will you abandon your alts once they get too expensive, or just dump them for a tidy profit?

My Questions for the forum users: 1. When filing for taxes in U.S. in the future do I need to mention Bitcoin? 2. What are some reliable Alt.Coins to buy? 3. Why do you think there hasn’t too much government intervention on Bitcoin, and the Federal Reserve. 4. What do you expect to happen for Bitcoin in 2014?(Economically, Politically and technologically) 5. Do you expect any other Alt.Coin to surpass Bitcoin in use or price? 6. Does Bitstamp or other exchanges have the same high risk transaction cancellation like Coinbase?
1) Probably in the future, yes. I'd read up on capital gains tax. 2) Depends what you mean by reliable? I'd do my own research rather than asking others: http://coinmarketcap.com/3) I'm sure there will be, they're probably just weighing up their options. It's still early days for Bitcoin/cryptos. 4) I'm expecting big things. I reckon it will continue to grow and will shoot up in value if a big merchant gets behind it. 5) Nope. 6) Not used them, so can't say.

Maybe the evidence against him is strong enough that his best bet is to try to recover the Bitcoins to pay for the best defense he can get. Admit guilt, try to get the lowest possible sentence. Might make sense if the situation were desperate and no decent bargain was on the table for an outright confession. And it certainly does look like a pretty desperate situation for Ulbricht...
1. Even if he claims that the BTCs are his own, he will not get them as they are currently seized as a part of the investigation. Plus, it was accumulated through illegal activities. 2. The lowest possible sentence here seems to be life without parole. Then why bother with a confession? I'm sure there must be some logic/reasoning as to why he's filing a suit to reclaim them. When does his trial start?

I still remember the graph when BTC hit $1,000 for the first time. That was the most memorable moment for me this year! Yeah, the insane price rise when it broke through to $1000 and beyond.

The old adage if it's too good to be true, then it probably is is usually a good rule.
But that's what I thought about Bitcoin and signature payouts on here lol. Haha, well most of the time offers that are too good to be true are too good to be true, but there's always exceptions to the rule. One of my mates is very sceptical and he thought BTC was a scam at first, but I think I managed to talk him round.

So I'm reading about Bitcoin and a recurrent advantage mentioned is that Bitcoin has a hard limit.
But if anyone can create an altcoin, isn't it the same as printing money resulting in loss of value of all digital coins together?
When so many digital currencies are competing with each other, the average demand for each of them tends to get lower.
Not really. It's like printing a worthless currency. It'll only become useful if people value it. If they don't it'll become worth little to nothing.

Hello there. I would like to know some basic things about mining world. I've been mining bitcoins and altcoins for more than a year now, but as I'm not a programmer, the only more tecnical thing that I do in informatics is extreme Overclock, some technical parts are just completly "foreign" for me, if you know what I mean. So I would really like some help from you people who understands perfectly how things works on mining world, if I'm not asking for too much Here it goes: 1st - What is a "faucet" and for what does it serves? A faucet is a site that gives out tiny amounts of a coin for free. They make money from advertising and newbs can get their first little bits of coins, but they're not really worth the time to be honest.

I think it looks promising What promise does it have? I think for a new alt to look promising it needs to have something unique or original behind it.

Hello, I have had sent bitcoin yesterday from blockchain to Multibit wallet and it is not showed up yet. I have checked http://blockexplorer.com/ and it does not show any pending transaction there either. Could there be anything else going wrong? As above, did you send to the right address? Did you send to the public address?

Everyone can send their friends dogecoins, wear dogecoin t-shirts, tip in doge freely and so forth. It's approachable and funny.
Why can't people do all that with Bitcoin?

But I think we should just leave Wikipedia alone in regards to accepting bitcoin. Perhaps in a few years time they will realize what they're missing out and start accepting it.
Wikipedia is based in UK, right? With no banks supporting BTC there, it will be enormously difficult for them to convert those coins to cash. Also, there will be tax-related complexities as well. I think it's based in Florida.

when it comes to protecting yourself from scams/scam artists?
for me, i was 19.. and i was lured in by the charm of a snake oil salesman. he had a lot of charm and charisma, so i bought the "from rags to riches story." as it turned out, i ended up losing $450 (which is a lot to a 19 year old) and quickly learned what a pyramid scheme was.
over the years, i have had to learn how to ask questions to protect myself.
I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I've always been pretty weary of scams. Plus I've seen enough Hustle and The Real Hustle to know about all the guises they come in. The old adage if it's too good to be true, then it probably is is usually a good rule. it's amazing how some people could get burned time after time, yet they never learn.. and persist to commit the same mistakes they've made.
I've got a mate like this. He was always trying to get rich quick and was always getting scammed, even by his so called mates. I haven't seen him in about 6 months, but if I called him and told him about Bitcoins I could probably sell him some for a ridiculous price or flog him some shitcoin pretty easily.
