They are all safe, but best solution is to not keep all your eggs in one basket. webwallets small amounts easily accessable to you, electrum get you going now but mostly desktop uses, full client to help the network/store some coin, and paper/offline wallets for true savings/safety

it is not 100% right to say that they are all safe, it is better to say that all wallets are safe to some extent. and you can increase each wallet's security by taking some actions like enabling 2fa for online wallets or using others offline.

i have received the payment for the two weeks of campaign, thank you.

p.s. can you explain how the rates are decided, is it by quality and/or board?
21984  Economy / Services / Re: Best Poker and Bingo - Playtodos.com Signature Campaign on: July 27, 2015, 01:01:51 PM
It's nearly the first pay day on our new campaign guys, anybody looking forward to seeing what they receive? Sorry for the shameless bump but I wanted to be able to find this thread quickly without having to search tomorrow as it's pay day. Smiley

+1 I also seek it, but it is on the second page, wow, this campaign pays the highest now, but it is too quiet in this OP

i am interested to know how the rates are going to be since it is not a fixed rate but a range for the rate!

What new coins are coming up or were just released?

Anyone have some inside info?


what exactly do you wanna know. there is a board dedicated to these announcement and "bathrobehero" gave you the link. if you are looking for somebody to tell you what to buy, you came to the wrong place because you will only get the name of coins that they are bag-holding Smiley
21987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Citibank set to destroy Bitcoin with Citicoin on: July 27, 2015, 02:40:12 AM
I'm quite sure a centralized bank coin won't destroy anything. or did ripple kill bitcoin yet?

everybody pretends that the altcoin bags that they are holding is precious and going to kill bitcoin to increase the price and be able to dump their bags (things like ripple).
and citicoin is just some centralized bank hype so far and will not nothing with bitcoin
21988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Creation of more powerful Hardwares Could destroy Bitcoin ? on: July 27, 2015, 02:22:51 AM
I really was wondering , we always tell people to hold their bitcoins for the next 5-15 years on Cold storage then come and sell them and they make shitload of profit , yes but .. I got this suddenly , what if CPU's & GPU's gets more developped and become better and better and faster over the years of course , would that destroy Bicoin ? I mean if it's easy to mine  , Bitcoin should logically lose it value ?  Huh

Feel free to let me know if I don't know what I'am talking about , won't take it as an offense Embarrassed

the answer to your question is answered by you inside your question!
when better technology and equipments are created in the future they will serve bitcoin as they are just making the mining easier which means the more secure the blockchain becomes. because the whole process of processing hashes becomes faster
21989  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: the blockchain will be hacked on: July 27, 2015, 02:02:13 AM
Eventually, the blockchain will be hacked.
I know it is decentralized and the hacker needed to have control over 51% of the network to 'hack' it! BUT, like any other hack, maybe there is a way we don't know about YET! Everything is 'hackable' from the moment it is online!

What do you think about this?

the same thing is true about getting hit by a meteor

Here is my take on it.  If I hack the blockchain, and do something nefarious (double spends, steal coins, or whatever), then the security flaw will be noticed pretty quickly.  So what happens?  I think that bitcoins quickly become worthless.  So there is no point to hack it, because there is no financial incentive.  This is why I think hackers are more likely to focus on hacking exchanges or individual's wallets in stead of trying to hack the blockchain itself. 

There was a bug in the early days that someone exploited to generate ridiculous amounts of Bitcoins. It was fixed very quickly and Bitcoin's still here. If a similar bug is found and exploited in the future it will do more damage because more people rely on Bitcoin today, but I expect it will be fixed very quickly and Bitcoin will survive it.

what bug are you talking about?
the only problem that i can recall was because of SPV mining which didn't generate any bitcoin out of standard for anybody!
21990  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Allcoin exchange? anyone contacted the owner and have their personal contact det on: July 26, 2015, 01:55:41 PM
how to contact the owners of allcoin?  their contact form isn't working or else they don't respond.

never heard of this exchange before. you can't just deposit your coins anywhere and expect it to be safe
check my crypto trust sites, these are reputative sites and still you can't put 100% into it
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1104328

i agree with the list that you provided but that list is not exactly useful because you just name exchangers on it and there is no more information!
like for example why are they trusted and why the rest is not. is it just your opinion or did you actually do some research, then why not provide your findings in the topic.
the topic actually has enough potential to become popular and useful for everybody in crypto world
21991  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Building a PTC/GPT site for bitcoins on: July 26, 2015, 01:23:21 PM
Well, I don't think you will find advertisers which pay higher rates then the advertisers of coinad.com and btcclicks.com. How will you then guarantee higher payouts?  Huh

yeah, exactly what i wanted to point out.

in order to pay more to your users, you will need to offer your advertisers more expensive plans to be able to pay higher rates to the users (ad clickers) . since there are already good / old PTC websites i doubt if you can get much customer this way.
21992  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: my computer got hacked and my BTC and LTC is gone what can be done on: July 26, 2015, 01:19:32 PM
Well that really sucks.. cause anything transferred or any bitcoin transaction for that matter is non-reversible.

Unless the person who stole your bitcoin returns it to you out of some moral sympathy. I`d try to contact that person if its possible, and say hey you got me! I`ll send you $40 starbucks gift card or something along those lines or something, boasting his/her ego.

Hard lesson learned. Get a cold wallet.
+1
wise advice.

I dont think anything could be done if someone stolen it.
advise to get a cold wallet isnt the best in my opinion how to transfer funds from cold wallet? Isnt it much harder than doing hit wallet transfers?

no, it actually "is" the best option. as long as the cold wallet is created in a safe way and without any malware on the equipment that you use for creating it, it can be the best option.

paper wallet is hard to use because you have to sweep the keys and create a new paper wallet after usage to be ultimately safe.

but if you use an offline wallet and sign the transactions offline and broadcast it on another pc which is online , it can be easier to use.
i know of two wallets that do this so far (there might be more but i am not familiar with them) and those two are Electrum (which is SPV wallet) and Armory (which is full node) .
21993  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin atm on: July 26, 2015, 01:09:51 PM
Would you store your bitcoin on a paper wallet printed direct from the ATM you purchased it from?

no way. unless the amount is too small that i don't care if it is stolen or lost. or the ATM is installed by a trusted bank or some organization that i can fully trust. but i will never trust  with big amounts.

i didn't even trust myself enough when i created my cold storage. let alone trusting a third party to create my private keys for me!

but i guess it would be a good idea if there were some trusted ATM that people could use to create a secure paper wallet with, especially those who are new to bitcoin or don't have the knowledge or interest to create their own paper wallets.
21994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the red flags to watch out for when avoiding P&D coins? on: July 26, 2015, 08:43:53 AM
As the title says.  What are the initial warning signs that shows a coin or project is nothing but a pump and dump?

Thanks.

when a coin doesn't have an honest dev, and looks shady in total. also when it is just a simple copy and paste of hundreds of other similar coins before it without any significant change and / or improvement.

also the pre-mine or any sort of ninja mine that comes at the beginning of the release of the coin is a big flag for me that they are gonna pump the hell out the coin as soon as they can.
21995  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Most Popular & Trusted Bitcoin Game | Huge Community | Free BTC on: July 26, 2015, 08:25:54 AM
They could raise the PvP to 100K minimum.

this is a good idea but i think it was disabled because it didn't bring any profit for PrimeDice itself.
if i am not mistaken the house edge for PVP was at 0 which made it unprofitable for the house.

i might be wrong though  Cheesy
21996  Economy / Speculation / Re: Panic sellers and non-holders beware: This could be you in the future. on: July 26, 2015, 08:20:37 AM

We will know we are at the bottom when someone writes that again. Yet right now instead we see people like you writing the opposite, that is why the CONFIDENCE still has to break and we still need to...


We saw a lot of posts like that just a few months ago. 18 months of a bear market was just too much for some people. The bottom has occurred IMO, and it's the beginning of a new bull ride. Things should get interesting!

Please do HODL all your net worth in BTC all the way down to $20 again. The coming shake out of CONFIDENCE is going pauperize all those ideological tards.

Investing isn't about ideology. It is about rational assessment of probabilities.

and why do you say that it is going down to a drastic number like $20 now? who is going to let it happend. those big whales who have been investing in bitcoin and filling their pockets with cheep bitcoin over the past months?
21997  Economy / Speculation / Re: Launch pad? on: July 26, 2015, 08:13:47 AM
i voted for yes. and specially since the price was stable lower than $300 for a long enough time now the price rise is becoming inevitable the question is are the whales gonna let it happen soon or do they want to accumulate more bitcoin at lower prices and keep the price at these levels for longer time.

Voted yes. But how much do we have to go up in order to define it as a "launch". New ATH? Or is up to the mid 300's acceptable?
Long term I'm bullish as always, short term I do not know, but things feel pretty optimistic.

at this point it isn't realistic thinking in terms of new ath's. if we manage to realize a stable growth to $400 we can consider that a great achievement.

Did you look at the chart, Randy? None of us know the future but stable growth isn't in the DNA of bitcoin Wink

Steady degrowth seems to be summary of last one year.  Wink

Sure, zoom out Wink

FTFY
Steady degrowth seems to be summary of last one year.  Wink couple of months
21998  Economy / Services / Re: How many people would be interested in getting paid for sign ups on: July 26, 2015, 08:07:36 AM
Hi,how many of you would be interested in being payed $0.50-$5.00 in BTC for signing up on a website,but no fake signups as the website needs phone verification to sign up?I may or may not do this in the future

it depends on the website that you are asking for signing up, but i might be interested if the price is right and i don't feel anything is wrong with the site.

ps. PM me with the information.
21999  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Downsides of Bitcoin? on: July 26, 2015, 08:03:13 AM
In another thread I meantioned some of the advantages Bitcoin has over cash (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1113484.0)

Truth is not many people I know personally use Bitcoin. None of my friends or direct family members do and here are some reasons why I think that is.

I have provided some workarounds to most of these "downsides". Like everything in life, Bitcoin isn't really perfect.

i agree, bitcoin is not still mature enough that can be considered completely reliable.

Quote
1) While Bitcoins are not controlled by an actual Government, etc, that also means that there is no official "customer service" for Bitcoin, especially when it comes to reimbursement; If you lose your private keys you are screwed, the coins are gone and therefore your money. Doesn't matter who you buy Bitcoins from, they can't help you at that point. Some companies have made this pretty avoidable though, by just allowing a username and password to sign into your Bitcoin wallet.

this can be a good thing, because it is not controlled by any individual, group or government so you don't get screwed for example like what happened to Greeks.
and as for losing your private keys. i don't see it as a problem with bitcoin but it is the user's fault.

Quote
2) Not enough businesses directly accept Bitcoin. While some big name companies do accept them, overall they aren't accepted at most online and local businesses at this point of writing. There are a lot of ways around this though just because of what Bitcoins CAN buy, which can be used to trade for the item you desire. For example if a local or online business accepts PayPal but not Bitcoin, it's easy to convert it.

yes, this is a big problem with bitcoin. i always say this and consider it the biggest thing that is keeping bitcoin back.
for example when the places that i shop (spend money) at doesn't accept bitcoin then buying bitcoin and holding it becomes more of an investment. and this investment because of the volatile nature of bitcoin has high risks.

Quote
3) Bitcoin can be stolen through malware, social engineering, being robbed at gunpoint, etc. Malware can certainly be avoided, you can store your Bitcoins offline, encrypted, etc. on a malware free machine/device. Social engineering is unlikely, if you are familiar with Bitcoins, you are probably familiar with social engineering. Being robbed at gunpoint can hopefully be prevented by meeting in a busy coffee shop, etc.

well you answered your own concerns here, all the things that you said can be avoided and also we are facing the same problems with credit cards and fiat too.

Quote
4) Bitcoin is not "user friendly". With terms like "Blockchain", "mBTC", "Private Key", "Hashing", "QR Code", etc. I can see where a lot of not tech-savvy people would be discouraged. It's clear that Satoshi didn't design Bitcoin to be used by everyone.

to use bitcoin you don't need any technological knowledge about things like hashing, how blocks are mined, what is blockchain.
you only need to know a couple of things. how to create a safe wallet (bank) like paper wallet which has a lot of walkthroughs. and how to buy and spend it which is made easy nowadays with online wallets like Coinbase and smartohones.

Quote
5) You can't pay your Government's taxes, fees, etc. in Bitcoin (at least I know in my country you can't).

Feel free to contribute to this, I would love to hear some opinions.

government is working with fiat so i don't see them using bitcoin ever.
but they will take taxes from you if you try to trade bitcoin Cheesy
22000  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which is the best Investment Option for Bitcoins? on: July 26, 2015, 07:49:41 AM
I think the best investment is gambling the btc for several months


i was just at PrimeDice, making some small dust bets, meanwhile i was looking at other people's profile history. if you look at the amount wagered and the profit you can see that a lot of them are in minus profit which shows that you would lose on gambling.
gambling can make you profit, that is true but it is not an investment because it is dependent on luck and not skills.
