I dont think I would want to go, and if I did, I probably wouldnt say or do anything if I seen Mark.
I guess you'd be thrown out the court room if you attempted to do anything stupid. We have a more or less functioning legal system in most developed countries in the world for a reason! |

There are some where you supply your own key or kits that you put together, i would suggest that if i were you.
Do you supply your public key or also the private key. If you also supply the private key it doesn't really matter who created it, the person manufacturing the coins will then have access to your BTC! |

Read the paper by Sathoshi Nakamoto. It covers the basic principle of the whole experiment. Those principles haven't changed. The core bitcoin system also remains the same. The rest, though, is in heavy flux and books will be quickly outdated!
I have read the paper many, many, times. Sure. I understand 95% of it, I would say. In the meantime, I can hardly say I understand 40% of the Bitcoin-Qt code. Probably much less, actually. I really miss some books to help me out... I gotta admit I haven't looked into the Qt code myself. But I hear it's not that well documented, is it? |

currently about 1% of address has more than 5 bitcoins..
when it comes to wealth inequality bitcoin is same as the old financial order.
so those who own more than 5 bitcoin, will they become the 1%...
then who are those 99%? ..
one good thing is the 1% of bit economy could be from the 99% of old economy..
if decentralization does not solve wealth inequality, what else will?
Only governments and regulations can solve that problem. Only when there's a country offering enough incentive to remain there while adhering to rules that may force you to pay a lot of taxes (because of your high income) things may change for the better! |

Mark Karpeles. sort of...
actually yes  Karpeles is like OJ. we all know he's guilty...but he's evading justice. although in the end OJ ended up in prison. we can only hope justice finds Karpeles too. At least Karpeles didn't kill anyone! Oh wait, didn't some CEO kill herself because her BTC were on Mt. Gox? I wonder how many lives have been ruined by the downfall of Karpeles. Do we have any numbers? |

You can only be sure if you're supplying a public key that's being printed on coins. But the private key should remain in your possession. You have to take care of it yourself. Never release it!

I hear he will be there
I guess there are quite a few people who will want to throw an extra-cold Frappucino in his face  |

Oh sorry didn't read that part cause I saw you say send and just reacted like to do to all other sites and google searches that say buy via SMS then comeup with only being able to send, and yeah those are scams
So I guess you better stay clear of those then Maybe charging you via a telephone bill just isn't safe for the service provider since they may not receive their money but you have the bitcoins, which can't be charged back by definition! |

yes i always backup my 2FA QR. by take a screenshot on it  because i usually try new ROM in my phone, sometimes bad things happen and i can't access my phone  i recommend you to backup when you set a new 2FA So you use custom/rooted software to run your phone and keep screenshots of 2FA codes? That basically calls for an accident to happen! |

Surely having to go to such lengths to protect your Bitcoin is only going to make it harder for mass adoption?
Things will change in time. Bitcoin will become easier, more user-friendly, more secure for the average joe. When that happens, you will know. Because you will be rich. 'If that happens', I guess! We can't know for sure if the whole experiment succeeds. Well, the experiment will succeed anyways, it already has. But if the technology 'Bitcoin' will succeed remains to be seen. Also, maybe we won't be rich if our Bitcoins are stolen before that happens |

Didn't Klee get like 1100+ BTC stolen from his wallet and has already received over 550 back? Sounds like the hacker is getting scared because people are finding out about him.
Anyway I can't imagine the authorities would even look kindly on hacking and thieving...since Bitcoin is considered property in the US, perhaps it would be theft still I am not sure how that works exactly.
Um, I guess he just extorted Klee by asking him to promise he wouldn't go the legal route and just forget about the whole thing. In return he'd return some percentage of the BTC stolen. Klee agreed, I really don't know what I'd be doing in such a situation! Poor guy! |

BTC is too young to have High Quality books as there are no real experts with long time expirience in it, as..well...BTC itself is not around long enough. And yes...remotemass is correct....coders will always saY: "Best book about bitcoin you can get is source code itself", and yes, i agree there is need for something like that. There is a document that goes that path here: https://github.com/minium/Bitcoin-SpecPeople often need multiple years to write a good book. Even if someone started a book on bitcoin back in 2009 when the paper was released, they would've maybe just finished the first chapter. Donald Knuth hasn't even finished his series! Heck, he even invented a typesetting system (everyone uses nowadays) in order to write that book! |

I don't mean to send bitcoin I never said send, I mean to full on buy it, how can I send it if I have none
I know, that's why I posted a link for a service that claims to do exactly what you're looking for. But like I said, be careful, people say that it's a scam. Always be careful and google if a service you're about to use may be a scam. |

Talking about annual revenues, does someone think we could argue that it's smaller than Dell, or not?
airBaltic 2013 revenue €325 million Dell 2013 revenue $56.9 billion No comparison here, is it? Ha, so a company now needs to exceed multiple billions of USD in revenue in order to be a good thing for bitcoin's growth  Hey, on the other side... if it it true, look how far we've already come! |

'Aligns our brand with innovation' - Ha, yeah that sounds like they took the idea from a textbook on how to create a 'cool' brand. Maybe they just need to do some memes or develop a mascot in form of a cool kid with a skateboard!

I think the theory that the whole proposal just being a 'foot in the door' is interesting. They post those restrictive rules only to publish the
'real' rules afterwards and everybody will be happy that they've been relaxed! Talking about human psychology!

That'd be an interesting system. I don't know whether such a system exists, but you can send BTC via SMS. You can even send BTC via effectively every means of communication! Quick google-search yields a site that may be a scam, beware! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252145.0 |

The most amazing thing is that the guy who sent 800 BTC to Mt. Gox after it already went belly-up, got his money back. He wrote to some people at the Bitcoin foundation and also to the lawyers organizing Mt. Gox's insolvency, and he got them back! Fat chance!

Big retailers accepting BTC. It remains to be seen whether they do that because they actually like bitcoin or want it to succeed, or they just want to hitch a ride on the media-bandwagon
