Have I done everything well?

It is generally best to keep multiple copies of your backup in various storage formats, eg, paper wallets, USB drive, flash drive (from different manufacturers). This would lessen the chances that you would have no access to your keys.

If you do not have the information gained from prerequisites then you will likely not understand the subject that is being taught. 

I would imagine that most of the bills that were paid were for smaller bills like cell phone bills and tv bills as opposed to rent or other large expenses. Although the initial amount is very small when compared to the overall austrailian economy it is significant as it shows that people are using bitcoin for trade. 

This is something that I very much don't understand. One of the benefits of bitcoin is that you do not need to trust others to "hold" and keep safe your bitcoin as you can easily do this yourself. There is no third party necessary to trust your money with, but your money is secured by the network. Despite this there are so many people that entrust their hard earned money to others.

Didn't you say that your "sales price" is the fair market value of the good/service that you are exchanging your bitcoin for? I don't think it would be considered to be a charitable donation unless the wallet service was actually a legit charity.

I would argue that you would be able to write off the entire amount as a capital loss. Also, if I understand the tax code regarding donating assets correctly (I probably don't) you do not need to pay capital gains on an appreciated asset if you donate the asset directly to charity and you can claim the entire value as a donation. The example that I am familiar with is you buy 100 shares of XYZ for $10 per share, then four years later, XYZ is trading at $40 per share. You want to donate $4,000 to your church but also want to minimize your tax bill. You also no longer think that you no longer want to own stock in XYZ. You donate the 100 shares to your church directly and can deduct the entire $4,000 donation (subject to other, unrelated limits) and do not need to pay capital gains on the $3,000 that the stock appreciated by.

I don't think this would actually work very well. It can take several minutes for radio waves to travel from earth to Mars and during this time it would be possible that coins could be double spent. If we were to ever colonize on another planet I don't think that interplant commerce would really be possible due to the costs associated with traveling between earth and any other planet. 

He should have had US forces intervene when the ISIS started to be more then a small nuisance. It was several weeks that the ISIS was fighting until they started making serious headway in taking over most of Iraq. From the time they took over a few cities to the time they took over most of the country was a very short amount of time as the Iraqi military was ill prepared.

I would predict that there will be some kind of civil war in Iraq for a long time. The US and the rest of the world may intervene if things get too out of hand but I don't think there will be peace there for at least a decade. I do think it is very sad that individual sects of Islam are not more willing to be accepting of other's religion.

Someone can logout of facebook and clear their cookies. This would make it so they would have no real way of tracking you since facebook uses your account to track you.

I think this would be very difficult to measure. With a very few exceptions, most campaigns only last a few months at the most, and when a campaign ends there is a good chance that all members would not get paid the full amount they are owed. I think that having a "campaign of the..." would be an endorsement of the campaign when the OP really does not know how trustworthy a campaign is. IMO the setup the OP has now is best as it gives users the most relevant information about each campaign so users can make an informed choice.

I think the mail problem with what they are doing is that they will not be able to do it forever. As they get older they will be less desirable for their clientele and will likely get hired less frequently and get paid less for each "job" (no pun intended). They would likely need to eventually return to some kind of "day job" but it will be harder to do so after being in the industry that they are in.

I think what the OP may have been implying (and I may be reading too much into it) is that you could potentially try to "write off" the value of your coins if you had sent your bitcoin to a "void" wallet. If you gave the "wallet service" something of value (your bitcoin) and received nothing in return (the "void" wallet) then by this measure you would have a capital loss.

I think this concept/idea is not a very good one as the reason you pay taxes is because you have earned something and the tax makes it so you have earned a little bit less, but you still have a net benefit.

It really isn't so much that the Christians living in parts of Iraq don't have any money, or the money they do have is subject to inflation/confiscation it is that the ISIS is killing them. Bitcoin would not solve this problem. Contrary to what many people on here think, bitcoin is not the answer to all of the world's problems.

This would be very unethical for any entity to do. Companies do give some level of fringe benefits like free goods/services of what the entity produces but something like this would be crossing the line. This would be an abuse of power.

There was a story about a reporter from Forbes that tried this last year (she did a follow up by doing it again this summer). IIRC she had a much easier time this year, but still had to convert a lot of her BTC to fiat by paying people BTC in exchange for paying her share of things (like transportation, meals, ect). She also used gyft pretty heavily. I would be interested to see a story about someone who is able to buy everything with bitcoin over some amount of time and not have to do things like the above.

I think this is the main reason why BTC ATM operators are able to charge such a high markup on the BTC they sell and buy BTC at such a large discount. People (especially in the US and Europe) very much value connivence and are willing to pay a very high price for it. In almost every industry there is some kind of market that lets consumers somehow cut in line or otherwise not have to wait their turn. 

I really am surprised as to how much volume gambling sites get, in terms both of traffic and money. According to PD3, their members have wagered over 400k BTC since they opened PD3 just yesterday. Assuming that is accurate and that they have been open for 36 hours, that means that people, on average wagered 11k BTC per hour.

I can almost guarantee that the NSA conspiracy theory threads are due to the fact that the "Alex" guy recently somewhat "endorsed" bitcoin. He seems kind of like a nutjob and these kind of theories sound like the kind of thing that he would say. It would be possible that some of his followers had purchased accounts to post these kind of theories, or people could have watched some of his youtube videos and believed the kind of things that he was saying. Regardless of what exactly is happening, it would say it is defiantly related.
