i believe if satoshi wanted to spend his coins that was mined in early stages, he would have done it by now. someone like satoshi with that financial mind don't need these ways to earn money.

There are many ways and even threads in the forum itself to earn Bitcoins, just search.  1. Signature Campaign. 2. PTC sites which allow payments in BTC. 3. Micro tasks. 4. Purchase them (instead of earning).  are ptc sites really worth it? i find the rates quite low to be honest, or maybe i used the wrong site. which one do you think is the best and works with bitcoin? I have never seen a PTC website for Bitcoin that was profitable, or not any more profitable than your average bitcoin faucet. A way to make bitcoins that isn't a sig campaing is MTurk in Amazon, i think there is a way to convert your pay in BTC directly. there are not PTC website that is profitable for the user, as far as bitcoin PTC goes there is no difference. the amount per click is the same as a faucet and it is never a good idea to but refferals. PTC websites are only good and profitable for people who can gather direct refferals. for others it is just waste of time. |

So they resort to their old proven tactics of dropping support for a product (however popular) and pushing their user base to new systems and products not through innovation and their superiority over competition but through the exercise of market power. Linux 2.6 kernel branch is 10 years old already, but it is still actively supported, and most likely will be supported for another 10 years (actually, as long as there are enough active users of it)...
I still have an Athlon XP 2500+ computer, which is in perfect state despite being as old as 2004. If I hadn't been all in for Linux, what Windows could I install there?
no doubt about that, but to be fair windows 7 in comparison with xp had a lot of changes in performance, security and cool features. in my experience 7 and 8 are most suitable for laptops, in performance and battery usage. and they work much better with SSD hard drives. and about your computer,i am not sure but i think you can't install any x64 version of windows and you would have a better experience with XP. That was exactly my point. There are a lot of computers about 10 years old that could be used for office and things like that. But now, when the Windows XP support is over, you either have to install some flavor of Linux there, or just dispose of these boxes as garbage... What would you choose? I opt for Linux, but other people may indeed "think different" i am personally too lazy to start learning linux (as much as i like it) so i don't see myself going towards linux anytime soon. on the other hand, many users like me can never migrate to linux completely because there are a lot of applications that we use which can not be run in linux or running them in linux would be a pain in the ass. so it really is the user's choice with regards to their needs. for example someone who uses windows for working with MS Office can use win xp and never have any problem with it. |

i see that you are doing a nice job of maintaining a good list of faucets, i specifically liked the dogecoin and litecoin sections.
i just wanted to suggest adding cryptoblox faucets to your list, it has btc,doge and ltc plus more

~~~ you don't need to search one by one. there are a lot of faucet "lists" or faucet rotators available, and in this section of forum there are a lot of posts about them which you can use. here is one that i bookmarked long time ago. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74046.0I see it is a long thread, I have not tried it overall, but first I've ever tried there but when I tries one site, it turns out that the destination site is dead and nothing else. cmiiw i don't quite understand what you are saying, but i tried the links and they are working. and as far as i know Portnoy (the person who created the list) is updating and maintaining the list. |

Libertyx.com is the easiest and cheapest way to get BTC.
that's for US only, for euro i suggest Kraken or Therocktrading, the first is without documentation up to $2k per day But I would advise caution and frequent cashouts on any trading site. The land of bitcoin exchanges is a scary one with many sudden closures and people who leave BTC in websites with very few exceptions tend to lose it. sadly this is the risk that you have to take in order to trade in these websites. i personally keep amounts that i can afford to lose, whether it is loss in trade or it is loss by website owner running away with my money. but exchangers are different from each other some are more reliable than others. |

i mostly use Coindesk.com both for news on BTC and also the price section: http://www.coindesk.com/price/i like their API too also www.newsbtc.com is a good site to get news from and last but not least, i mostly use Reddit. since i was a member there before i subscribed to botcoin, dogecoin and a couple of more subs there for good information and a nice community |

I do altcoin trading only and my problem is it's difficult to trade with big quantities of money because the volumes are not big enough to sell at good prices. For example trading with 10 BTC alone can start being a pain in the ass. You buy tons of a cheap altcoin, worth 10 BTC. Wait for a pump, then you intend to sell at the top but there isn't enough people to buy all the cheap coins you bought for 10 BTC. So you are pretty limited to stablished coins which are few, like Monero, Litecoin, or the other few that have a decent amount of volume.
i do altcoin trading too, because i was able to profit more from trading altcoin than trading bitcoin. but i am still a beginner and still learning stuff. i have the same problem as you, that the trade volume mostly is not big enough for big profits. so i try to invest in a couple of coins so the sum is big, but it is too much work... |

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.
buy on any exchange without documentation but you need to do it with a phone using public wifi and move on another location i have never done this so i might be wrong but doesn't the exchangers need verification? like ID and credit card info and things like that that will make it not anonymous? |

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?

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.

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. |

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. |

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. 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? |

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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP#Support_lifecycle |

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. |
