it's a shame. these things like this doesn't only scam people and leave them bankrupt but also ruin the general people's trust.

i am curious to know where you are living, like what country or what city. it sounds strange to me that you are going through this much trouble to hide money!

how much did you invest?
22383  Economy / Economics / Re: A Question As Old As Bitcoin on: March 24, 2015, 06:56:01 AM
as much as i love investing in bitcoin, i buy gold too. it is always the best of you do not put all of your eggs in one basket.

investing in gold is kind of a reliable way of investing my money and earn a little bit of profit from it.

but investing in bitcoin is more profitable than gold but has higher risk too.

Hey there folks, I'm kinda new to this whole BTC thing.. Would you have any suggestions for a good place to buy some from the UK. I'd like to do it anonymously but also avoid getting scammed at the same time.


as long as you are paying for bitcoin with something other than cash, you can not be anonymous. either buy with cash or mix your coins after you bought them using a service like my current signature, that way there will be absolutely no trace on the bitcoins that you bought.
22385  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: noob need guidance on: March 24, 2015, 06:42:26 AM
in my opinion the wallet you choose only depends on you and your usage.
for small amounts and for spending BTC i think online wallets are most suitable
for larger amounts and holding it is best to keep it on offline wallets, either paper wallet or any other wallet on a computer that is not connected to internet.

Also using multiple wallets is a good thing aswell.   Have hot/cold wallets depending on how much you have in the address.   
yes, that was my point. i personally have 1 blockchain.info wallet for my day to day uses and i keep small amounts of bitcoin there and the rest of my bitcoins which i buy or trade and want to keep for long term are in my offline electrum wallet.
22386  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Legit bitcoin faucets sites on: March 24, 2015, 06:36:42 AM
dadice is a free faucet site, you can get different amount of bitcoin, and also can play dice there, so it's like freebitco.in site, both faucet and gamble.

You can get lowest 250 sat in level 1, and 12500 sat in level 50, I am currently level 15, so my faucet is 3750 sat, it's cool, right?

You can click my signature to access dadice, and no registration needed, you can just set password there. Wink
wow, that is so cool if it is like freebitcoi.in site. just one question though, can you claim the faucet like freebitcoi.in every hour and gamble if you like or is it like primedice that you can only claim if you have 0 balance?
22387  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best operative system? on: March 24, 2015, 06:19:28 AM
What about Win XP? I hear that many people use xp
you are wrong my friend:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Desktop_and_laptop_computers
besides windows XP is no longer supported by microsoft and also the newer versions are not just a new version, they have eliminated many security issues.

If I'm not mistaken about this part (correct me if I turn out to be wrong), Microsoft promised to supply critical security patches for Windows XP up until April 2019. In fact, It would be rather strange to drop support of the operating system that still takes over 20% (as of August, 2014) in total market share of the Windows operating systems family (despite it being 13 years old)...

Personally, I use Gentoo Linux


all supports, licensing, and releasing updates for windows xp that we use has ended. they started supporting after the initial stop for the purpose of not losing market but stopped that after a while too.
now the only support that is going on (like what you said up to year 2019) is for embedded systems only.

you can read about it in details here:

22389  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Best online Bitcoin wallet ? on: March 24, 2015, 05:57:39 AM
Blockchain.info is for simplicity and easy to use, perhaps sums under 50-100BTC could be stored here.

for more advanced use

Xapo for 100-500BTC since it's way more secure than blockchain.info.

However on Blockchain.info they dont have access to the funds, yet Xapo has high security like the vault is inside the mountain in a faraday cage is physically secure.


Although over 500BTC i would definitely not use online wallets, only offline.
i think it is best if you do not store your bitcoins in an online wallet, no matter how secure it is. you have to store your bitcoins in an offline wallet and keep what you spend on an online wallet.
22390  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Did you earn some bitcoin today? on: March 24, 2015, 05:53:53 AM
Not today, but I will next week when I get paid from my work, I hope it still stays low, time to buy as much as possible.
i am doing the same thing too. i try to buy as cheep as possible to hold for long term. i hope it stays low and goes even lower so that i can buy more.
22391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We have been entertained and educated on: March 23, 2015, 06:52:23 AM
if bitcoin fails which i doubt it can happen anytime soon, something similar will replace it for sure. something like what IBM was working on. i'm not saying that's the one that will replace bitcoin but if it fails, there will be a replacement.
22392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you name your baby Satoshi for 150 bitcoins? on: March 23, 2015, 06:48:16 AM
yes i will name my child satoshi and then call him sat at home and his friends will call him tushi and i will gamble away the 150 BTC XD
22393  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do girls use Bitcoin ? on: March 23, 2015, 06:39:40 AM
Of course, I know some girls use btc to gamble or play poker, girls may like slots more.

In BTC poker house, usually see some girls there. So they can earn money and train poker skills, so good right?

And there are btc companies which pay btc as salary, girls work in those companies use btc.
yeah i've seen girls gambling and playing poker in those websites too. considering the fact that most of those girl names are not actually girls but i've seen real girls play poker too.
22394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ok So I Just Sent £1000 of BTC to a Friend in Northern Namibia.. Now What? on: March 23, 2015, 06:36:36 AM
if he can not sell his bitcoin to fiat directly, i think the best way for him is to do a double conversion of bitcoin to paypal and then to fiat. just find a trusted person who does paypal exchange.
22395  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you really think bitcoin price will touch $k again ? on: March 23, 2015, 06:27:52 AM
Do you really think that btc will be thousand dollar again in 2015 ? Or on which crypto , you rely on ? or on which crypto, you have some dreams ?
i don't think it is going to reach the $1000 anytime soon or at least not in this period. i believe it is going to go up but will stop rising before 1K and then falls down again. but it is possible to go past 1k after that.
22396  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Selling bitcoins on localbitcoins for prfoti? on: March 23, 2015, 06:25:02 AM
there was a topic some time ago on bitcointalk on localbitcoin trust issues, that i cant find it now; but it pointed out that a lot of the users there are scamming the trust feature by giving fake trust to each other or maybe with alt accounts.
22397  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm Newbie for mining. Need Help for on: March 23, 2015, 06:20:33 AM
whats the best coin for cpu mining at this moment?

Well, as far as i know... and this only my opinion..

Since bitcoin had high difficulty i think litecoin, dogecoin and darkcoin would be nice..
in my opinion, if you want to solo mine with your miner at home; the most profitable way of mining can be mining the new coins that are introduced every day. so that you can catch them at an early stage while the difficulty is so low.
22398  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitvisitor sugestions on: March 21, 2015, 06:53:20 AM
I know that Bitvisitor is a useful site that helps newbies to earn their first coins very fast.

But IMHO it has a problem: It creates too much dust.

My idea is simple: When a new address starts to Visit sites, pay every 60 uBTC.
But if that address collects 1mBTC, It could be a good idea to give payments weekly.

I know that a new user wants to have a fast payment, but older users will prefer less dust.
people usually don't trust random websites to keep their hard earned BTC with the risk of them being dried. if you are worried about dust you can sign up in an exchange website and give that BTC address instead and don't worry about dust.
22399  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Any Tips for getting a Start with Bitcoins? on: March 21, 2015, 06:50:30 AM
Heyyo, Ive been around bitcoins for a while but it's still very confusing for me. Ive only managed to gain $.18 in BTC. Any way you guys know how to safely invest and gain, Or just gain?


never invest in any ponzi scheme unless you want to risk losing your BTC.
also try not to invest in cloudmining. most of them are scam and others are not profitable.
you can lend your BTC to gain some interest. but be careful not to get scammed.
i personally like trading, especially altcoin trading.
22400  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Offline Wallet on: March 21, 2015, 06:45:04 AM
~~
(My general approach for BTC is to just buy a few and hold them.  If BTC goes global, I'll be happy, if not, and BTC becomes obsolete, no big loss.)

So, let's suppose I chose Electrum, which seems to be one of the easier ones to use.
~~
if you just want to hold large amount of btc i think Electrum as you said is the best choice for you. but remember to use it offline and also write down your seed on a piece of paper and save it a safe location.

i liked this post on how to create an offline electrum wallet:
