Is there some sort of trusted trader or a place where i can keep them ? Everywhere i read its full of warnings not to trust anyone and always guard your coins and stuff.
This kind of question is what the warnings are all about. Of course there are trusted users on the forum but it is best to not having to trust others. Because if they take your coins you have not much you can do against. If you want to sell your best bet would be to use one of the big exchanges. Like kraken.com, bitstamp or bitfinex. Don't let your coins lay around there, hold them safe in your computer without viruses and such. Then when you want to sell send them to the exchange, exchange them and withdraw the fiat money. Or if you need cash you might use localbitcoins or the mycelium app that includes a similar service like localbitcoins. You then can meet a trader at a McDonals or something, search a calm edge and exchange the money so that not everyone can see it. |

9) Military-grade offline wallet storage
Description: An offline cold storage wallet, locked inside a electromagnetically shielded underground bunker room with radio signal shielding too that is empty with only: 1 PC, 1 chair, 1 table inside it, the entrance that is guarded by armed men and surveiled with multiple video cameras to prevent unauthorized personnel tampering the PC, and the only point of access off the PC is either reusable CD or a QR code based system to transfer the data from offline PC to online. Nothing can be plugged into that offline PC. And then when moving the data to the online PC only additional precautions are needed if you want your privacy shielded too, otherwise the bunker room is enough.
Pro's: Totally safe.
Con's: At this point the bitcoin can only be stolen by finding exploit in the protocol itself or by using an invisibility ring to get past the detection and steal the bitcoins. It is very expensive and unpractical, but its the only way to ensure that bitcoins are 100% safe.
Risk of bitcoin being stolen: █ █ █ █ █ █
*rofl*  I hope you tested if this type of storage is really as safe as you believe?  I think your list will give newbies some hints about the risks. Though i doubt that any normal user will use your 9th solution. |

I just want to ask , are you use trafict exchange ? or hitleap ? or other service like it , to get more visitor ? or you have tutorial how to get more visitor ?  Thank's anyway nice tutorial  It's not the website or tutorial of the OP. See his first sentence in OP. |

With that much traffic how could you possibly break even... to test something....? You should have made way more money, trust me i know !
Maybe not the best placement for the adsense ads. Many make that error. Though it's a risky game since you don't want to play against the adsense rules, which can quite easily happen. |

FunCaptcha is much more successful at stopping bots than the other forms of Captcha available for FaucetBox
Sorry but that's not correct coz right now bots solving that captcha in 15-20 seconds with 100% success. (if you need more info send me PM with your e-mail and I will give you link with explanation). Anyway greath tutorial. Regards. I think image captchas are harder to solve since first captcha solvers need to implement them and especially for small captcha tools that is not worth it. Or implement your own answer-questions since everyone wanting to game the faucet would need to first put all answers and questions into his bot to automate the process. Only few would do that at all. |

Interesting article even though you only copied it. It would be interesting to see how far he could push it into the profit zone. Are there updates already?

Is blockchain.info secure enough to store long term? Id like a link on how to create a paper wallet...
I would not suggest them since you often hear of stupid things they do so that one gets the impression they are unable to code. Which is a prerequisit to be trustworthy. Better use something like electrum portable. Backup your wallet files completely (if you don't use portable version you need to backup the wallet file too) on a second harddrive and in an encrypted truecrypt volume in the cloud. Additionally back up the seed mnemonic. Then your coins should be safe. |

Please open up this bitcoin thing for me.
If i invest 7000$ to mine, like. The TerraMiner
It makes about 1.1btc/day so i can get 350$(@themoment)x 21(days) that estamated 7500$
So three weeks i can make the machines money back and electric bill too?
Am i correct?
Check out this website: https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/mining/Most newbies in mining make a failure investing because they don't know that there is a thing called difficulty which leads to being harder and harder to make a profit. If you don't get your investment back in the first 2 to 3 months then you won't make it back. The calculator can safe you from wrongly investing. |

I was reading through the forums and found that if I go to block chain or something I can verify that that person has the amount that I am looking for. Can someone please let me know how to do this. Here is a copy and paste of the info I am wondering how to verify: 3) Ask for his coin address and always search it on blockchain.info or www.cryptocoinexplorer.com to verify if his address has the amounts he is claiming. Thank you all in advance for the assistance. You need to get the address he claims he owns. Then you can check on a blockexplorer how many coins that address contains. But that is not enough since he could tell you a random address he doesn't own. You might either ask him to send you a satoshi from that address as proof that he owns the address or ask him for a signature signed with that address. You can check that signature then at http://wallet-2sx53n.sakurity.com/#verify and make sure that the address he signed with is the one he claims to own. If you did so then you can be sure that he really owns these coins. |

Hi all! I'm new on forum and I first came along with bitcoin 3 months ago. My friend told me about it and I was like wtf  But i googled it a bit and found it very interesting. Next time i heard on news that ISIS is using bitcoin for their income, but I'm not so sure about it and think they're scared of new digital money and want to put bitcoin in bad light. Bitcoin fans should do more for promotion of bitcoin or if they can't do promotion, everyone can just ask in stores, "do you offer bitcoin as payment?" Most of them don't know what it is, so maybe they'll ask what is it Anyway, I hope I'll learn something new on this forum. Welcome and yes, these are scaring tactics. There was a boy who wanted to teach wannabee terrorists how to use bitcoin for funding but that is the only serious mentioning of bitcoins on that topic iam aware of. I mean they don't forbid fiat money only because the IS is accepting fiat too. |

So your address is : 19zYbGwxFjokYQMPftvEijCBQWEsnJV7Ne and you sent to 1NRuicKk5Hk8addVjVVfZcaxE1y9FNjUkk ? If it's the case then as I said the problem should be on the receiver part (client not sync with the network) or he is actually lying about it , because this is a proof that his address does contain the bitcoin that you sent : https://blockchain.info/fr/address/1NRuicKk5Hk8addVjVVfZcaxE1y9FNjUkk (If it's his address) . correct: this is my address and the receiver address i sent btc. the receiver claims that he did not receive for 100%. Is it possible that you accidentally sent to the wrong address? Are you certain that the address that the receiver told you to send to is 1NRuicKk5Hk8addVjVVfZcaxE1y9FNjUkk? Is it possible that you sent the wrong amount of bitcoins? Are you certain that the amount of bitcoins that you agreed to send was 0.33319215 BTC? If the receiver told you to send 0.33319215 BTC to 1NRuicKk5Hk8addVjVVfZcaxE1y9FNjUkk, then the receiver has received their bitcoins. They either have a problem with their own wallet that they need to fix, or they are lying to you. That address has received 0.33319215 BTC on 2015-11-28 at 17:56:19 UTC. OP, there exist viruses that check the clipboard for bitcoin addresses and change the address you have copied in clipboard. That might have happened on your side or on the side of the seller. So always check the first and last signs of the address you use, best to check some digits in between too. |

OP: whom are you paying to? A forum member? A company? Please post the message, screen or whatever you have when the payment address and the value to pay are published.
What does "he did not receive for 100%" mean exactly? Is it possible you sent slightly less than you had to? If you're dealing with a system/website it's possible it just shows that message even if 99.9% is paid.
That screen with the address and amount will help.
It might be possible that he sent form an exchange. Only in bitcoin land we have the fact that some exchanges think it is a wise idea to withdraw the fees, the exchange takes for withdraws, from the actual amount someone wants to withdraw. Imagine you going on the ATM to get your fiat cash, you need $100, you enter the amount and you receive... $99, because the ATM take $1 as fee. That's plain stupid but normal behaviour on bitcoin exchanges. Another thing that might be possible is that the receiver awaited a certain amount of bitcoins he mentioned in USD or another fiat currency. Now the sender had another exchange rate and the seller does not think the amount if right. |

so, where you guys, get some bitcoin? i mean like faucet ptc or something what?
These are my own personal ways to get Bitcoin: -Using mellowads to put banners on my website. I get BTC for impressions. This is where I get most. -Posting on zapchain. They tip people for asking and answering questions. -Posting on Bitcointalk, through signature campaigns. -Chatting on IRC in several altcoin channels. They tip altcoins that then I sell for Bitcoin. -Chatting and tipping on cryptopia chat. They gave altcoin tips for chatting and tipping other users, then I sell those altcoins to BTC. -Cloudmining on Bit-x and Genesis mining (you buy hashpower that renders you some bits everyday) And that is it. By far the best is working for it (in my case, writting, the 3 top of the list). Out of interest, what does zapchain give you per post on average? Did you test reddit? There are tips happening with changetip (i believe that's the name). I'm not sure though if one can actually earn a reasonable amount that way. |

There is a DOS attack against the blockchain going on right now. It's causing transactions to take longer than usual to confirm. In order to pull of the attack, the attacker has to pay a higher than average transaction fee. They will eventually run out of money and the attack will stop, but in the meantime you can send your transactions with higher fees to make sure that your transactions get confirmed instead of the attacker's (this will have the added benefit of forcing the attacker to spend through their bitcoins even faster to maintain the attack). Another attack...last 6 blocks (edit: and counting) have been hit. Example: #385910 with 19125 fake sigOps. The block is only 200KB despite a 5MB backlog (according to tradeblock). It seems this attack is very effective. Edit: #385911 unaffected (enough high-fee legit txs) #385912 = 18990 fake sigOps, 280KB. #385913 = 18945 fake sigOps, 281KB. #385914 = 17325 fake sigOps, 470KB. ...etc. I think it's not only that. The last days the bitcoin price was relatively volatile which mostly leads to a lot more transactions which then leads to full blocks and legit transactions not confirming. I found this website being valuable for checking the status: http://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/transactions |

Sounds like the threat of changing the coin rules in favor of early adopters was avoided. That's a good thing for clam and it's trustworthiness. It's always not a good sign when rules can be changed that everyone builds on being static rules. I'm happy that clam did not go that way.

Hope things move more smooth now. No reason not to. Keep up the good work, buddy! Cryptostocks is back, so let's see how it goes around the tenth. Seems to be that some traders slowly are interested in shares too since some small volume is happening on CS too. We actually did not have to push the issuer really for the last dividend, which is a good thing. Let's see if he moves forward the same way... |

Hm, das klingt dann doch schon interessant. Danke für die Erklärungen.
Ich denke das kann schon eine gute Sache sein, allerdings denke ich dass der Nutzen doch eher limitiert ist auf wiederkehrende Transaktionen zwischen Geschäftspartnern. Die übliche Bitcointransaktion wird kaum einen Channel benötigen oder ihn sinnvoll machen, weshalb doch weiterhin Bitcoin das übliche Transaktionsmedium sein wird. Und das Netzwerk dann künstlich in einem 1MB Korsett zu halten kann nicht wirklich gut ausgehen.
Ich wüsste jetzt zB nicht wie ich als Escrow sinnvoll LN nutzen könnte ohne einfach nur sinnlos extra Arbeit zu haben.

Kann sein dass das A, an den zu kleinen 1 Megabyte Blöcken liegt da B, der Bitcoinpreis an dem Tag ziemlich volatil war, was immer bedeutet dass viel mehr Transaktionen passieren. Und wenn viele Transaktionen passieren aber nicht genug Platz in den Blöcken ist dann passiert sowas. Man kann nur hoffen dass wir bald größere Blöcke kriegen sonst wird das ein Dauerzustand und dann kann man Bitcoin wirklich vergessen.  |

Dann sollte man keinen Coin rausgeben, sondern Anteile bzw. Genussscheine oder Anleihen.
Mitbestimmungsrechte habe ich als Mitgesellschafter normalerweise schon, als Darlehensgeber weniger, aber das ist eine andere Baustelle.
Ich habe das Gefühl, diese ganze Rückkauf-Orgie ist nicht mehr als Bauernblind oder ihr habt das Businessmodell "nur" schlecht durchdacht.
Das mit Coins zu machen finde ich schon ganz gut. Ich meine Coins lassen sich ganz gut absichern gegen Manipulationen und es braucht keine zentrale Verwaltung der Anteile. Obwohl es in dem speziellen Punkt natürlich sinnlos ist da Issuer der Coins und Issuer der Dividenden die selbe Entität sind. Gibt kein Mehr an Sicherheit. Und der Rückkauf ist doch ok. Damit ist sichergestellt dass die Shares ihren Wert behalten, zumindest nicht im Wert sinken. Und wenn die Dividenden gut genug sind dann haben die Coins auch einen Wert. |

Sind leider auch viele Scamcoins dabei, also Altcoins die nur zu dem Zweck erstellt wurden damit der Issuer damit Geld verdient und abhaut. Von den 4 ICO's die ich als Escrow begleitet habe waren alleine 2 Scams, glücklicherweise hat sich das rausgestellt als ich die Investorenbitcoins noch gehalten habe.
Aber Altcoins haben schon ihre Berechtigung. Erstens ist es sehr einfach jetzt eine Währung zu erstellen, es werden viele neue Ideen getestet, POS, Anonymität usw. Alle Ideen finden ihre Fans. Und wenn es nicht die Idee ist dann wegen der Spekulation. Investoren spekulieren auf einen steigenden Preis um dann ihre Coins abzustoßen mit Gewinn.
Hat schon seine Berechtigung, ist aber genauso ein Haifischbecken wie Bitcoin allgemein. Du muss echt aufpassen dass du nicht dein Investment verlierst.
