i think it is more related.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1098241.0

i was searching in google that i came across this forum bitcoin-forums.net
it is exact mirror of the bitcointalk.org with the same posts and in real time.

is it related, scam, just mirroring or what?

edit:

thanks. locking topic...

i am not sure but i have heard about carving bitcoin address and private key on a piece of wood that is resistant and you can keep it for years.
but i think all of this things don't attract much customer and are just for bitcoin enthusiasts

but to add to the discussion the best material for this purpose is aluminium, because of the weight, cost and corrosion resistance that it offers and also the shiny surface that can be hardened to prevent any scratches. you can use stainless steel too but it would get heavier but it can be worked out at the same cost.


edit: i think this is the image of the wallet that i have seen a long time ago: http://www.offlinewallets.com/images/bitcoin-wood-wallet.jpg

of course you can download a wallet on your mobile and use bitcoin with ease. but the problem is, there is no place to use bitcoin in.
take the examples he gave, in the morning there is no news-stance that accepts bitcoin, the coffee shops don't accept bitcoin, i can't put gas in my car and pay with bitcoin,....
and if there is places that accept bitcoin for any of the above examples their numbers are so low that doesn't really count.

i can never understand the need for services like lastpass.

it is not like i have 1000 different passwords that i need remembering. there is only a handful of important passwords that i can remember and write down on a piece of paper just in case i forgot.

besides, what i don't encrypt myself is not gonna be safe on the cloud anyways.

interesting question. would be great if we could know the exact answer to that though.

i personally have lost ~0.01 to a brainwallet address that i have created once but forgot the password to as time has passed.

i also wanted to add this bitcoin address that is eating bitcoins and make them "lost forever".

it has 1.98BTC so far!!

legendary member needs 775 activity so you will become legendary in 69 times the activity period which is 14 day (a total of 677 days)

by then who knows that if there still is any signature campaign that is paying out.

as far as i know wallets like coinbase that are working off the chain have instant transaction / confirmation as long as both recipient and sender have that wallet. and the issue that OP talks about still exist if one of them does not have that wallet (has other wallet than coinbase for example).

but this has nothing to do with bitcoin. it is like using a bank. you don't actually send the money (physically) you send a bunch of numbers and they receive those numbers and it adds to their balance.

thank you for this awesome campaign with all the on-time payments so far.
i am aiming for the A1 quality posts. best of luck <3

i would love to be able to consider bitcoin as a currency but so far i used it as a way of investment.
invest my money in bitcoin by buying when the price is low and store it, additionally i did the same thing you talked about in the OP for a while but now i focused all my attention to trading altcoin.
so i can say that i pretty much use bitcoin as an investment and a way to earn money.

then why did you waste approximately 50 months of your life on a forum that is related to a project that is what you say it is.

since you included bitcoin in the list i say it is obvious that bitcoin will have a bright future.
and as far as other coins go, i believe there can be an alternative altcoin that have the potential to coexist side by side with bitcoin and have a bright future. but so far i can not see this potential in any of them. but i haven't lost hope in altcoins yet!

first answer me there:
1) how much bitcoin do you have? (no need to give number, is it large amount or like faucet payouts that you gathered)
2) what do you plan to do with them?

determining these two can make you choose from paper wallet to an online wallet.

it is illegal and your visitors are going to find this out eventually and that is the time when you are going to get into so much trouble. because you were abusing your visitors trust and using their computer without their knowledge and agreement.

since you are new to bitcoin, first of all start reading about bitcoin and the importance of securing your coins.
spend some time on the forum and read the posts to get the whole idea and learn the ways to earn bitcoin.
after this time has passed and you became informed enough, your rank has risen too and you can join a good signature campaign and earn more bitcoin.

read the meta section on ranks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0
and i say, you already have an account with 14 account, hang around and built that up yourself. and if you want to buy an account you can but a full or Sr. member which are cheeper.

and for cloudmining i suggest you read this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=878387.msg9697654#msg9697654 you'll get good information there.

and if you are interested in mining so much, you can look into mining altcoins and selling them for bitcoin.

i only used faucets when i just started with bitcoin and the price was high, even then faucets were not worth the time and effort.

but now i rarely visit faucets, just to cover some transaction fees
and i sometimes visit freedogeco.in to top up my reddit account for tipping

i love a fair and true lottery. they are fun and i think i would buy 5-10 picks since i like to try my chance.
but unfortunately i haven't seen any good lottery so far. and honestly i feel like 2000BTC is too good to be true.

the site still has bugs

i claimed 500 faucet > started the Automatic Betting > no change, standard martingale settings > the balance doesn't go higher than 507

for instance i lose 2 satoshi it goes to 505, then win 4 it goes to 507

i only play dota 2 and so far i only saw two places that do item gambling and those are d2l, which you say it is borring! and gosugamers.net

gosugamers has CS:GO section maybe it has item betting for that too.
