OK... here you go.

1. Create a simple wallet and confirm the email

2. Go to Account settings.

3. In the personal tab, make sure that the email is verified. Then type an alias (don't forget this word)

4. Go to display tab. Select Bitcoin or mBTC as your preferred "Bitcoin Display"

5. Go to passwords tab

6. Click on "Enable Double Encryption". Type 2nd password.

7. Click on "Show / Hide Password Mnemonic" and write it down. Store it somewhere safe and secure.

8. Enter password hints

9. Go to Security Tab.

10. Select Email in Two Factor Authentication (2FA).

11. Go to wallet home. On backup, click on "email". A backup file will be sent on Email. Keep this file somewhere secure (may be an USB drive) and delete the mail.

12. Click on "paper". Printout paper wallet backup, and store it somewhere safe.

Blockchain.info is the best online wallet. Use it with 2 strong passwords, and 2FA.

Make sure that the backups are secure and safe.

Else use paper wallet.

In any case protect your system with a good anti-Virus software (My choice is Kasper).

In case of tulip mania, the price crashed as more and more tulip bulbs were made available. However, since the supply of Bitcoins are limited, there is no chance of that happening with the BTC.

My problem is similar to the threads here and here.

I was typing the correct password, but every time it is showing the message: Error Decrypting wallet - Check your password.

I tried for some 30 minutes. At last I decided to restore from the backup. During the process it again asked the password and I entered it. This time it was accepted!

I recovered the wallet. Input the same password confirmed my email and logged out.

5 minutes later when I tried to login again... the message is there: Error Decrypting wallet - Check your password.

This is quite irritating. I have to restore from backup every time I want to login?

Edit: I restored from backup for the second time. The login is working (as of now).

If you want just 0.1 mBTC, then go and watch some videos in bitcoinget

You'll get that amount in a matter of minutes. Completely risk free. Similarly, there are hundreds of other risk-free options. Don't download and install anything for $0.10.

Hmm...

Ebay is quite risky. They regularly ban vendors dealing with BTCs. You'll lose both your BTC and money.

Those who had ideas to dump already did that when BTC hit $1,000. The next dump might come up at the $2,000 mark. Even the China scare story couldn't crash the exchange value by more than 10%.

60% premium is not that bad in Ebay.

But you should have bought through Paypal from Local Bitcoins. There are reputed sellers who charges as little as 10% to 15% premium.

Think twice before you start downloading. You have something to lose if you are downloading and installing a trojan or a keylogger. Simply not worth the effort.

Nothing much can be done now. Each BTC-TC shares were worth 2 LTC at the time of liquidation of LTC-Global.Equivalent to 0.075 BTC at today's exchange rate. But we'll be getting only one-third of that. Bad luck.

Hmm.. you can exchange INR for BTC (or vice-versa) through Indian sites such as www.buysellbitco.in and rbitco.in. Localbitcoins.com is also another option.

Sadly that is true. A Ph.D thesis should have a minimum of 200-300 pages. That said, I don't think that it will be that hard to add some of the finer details to the original BTC paper and "elongate" it a bit.

The current payouts are much higher in Coinurl (after you convert the BTC to USD and then comparing with the Adfly payouts). But it can vary wildly with the BTC exchange rate.

Even if you are buying a deed now, it won't be worth anything 5,000 years later.

For example, take the case of Antarctica. During the 19th century, a lot of people "purchased" land on the south pole. What happened to them? They lost their money and got nothing in return when the UN declared that Antarctica doesn't belong to any nation or individual.

If stealing the coins are not illegal, then getting them back is also not illegal. This hacking / stealing issue is scaring a way a lot of noobs from Bitcoin. In fact, I'd say that if not for the thieves, the market cap of BTC could have easily crossed 30 billion USD by now.

No no... I am not talking about modifying the blockchain. I am just talking about a service which can track thieves and get the coins back from them by force.

For example, look at the recent Sheep Marketplace scam. Some users are tracking down the thief, in order to recover the coins from them. Why can't we create a similar service, which will trace hackers and thieves, to force them to bring back the coins which they have stolen.

You can't punish someone for being rich. But I'd support increasing the inheritance tax though.

It is true that tax rates are lower in the US when compared to the EU. But insane tax rates (75% as in the case of France) can trigger complete economic collapse and capital flight. Just wait for a few years... and we will see the economic collapse of a large number of EU nations.

We need a (paid) service to recover coins which are stolen through hacking / phishing. Just like the bankers who use the help of recovery agents to get back the amount paid out as loans.

What is so special about this? Currently Ford Limos, Audi A8 Ls and many other vehicles are listed in Bitpremier. You can even buy your private island in the Micronesia.

No. The statement says that Crypto-Exchanges should get registration from the government. If they want to ban the exchanges, then what is the point in registering them?
