Why everybody talk about 51 %? 50.00001 % is not enough?
The term 51% is "hype" word, actually 40% would be enough to make serious trouble. You mean 40% is enough to get past some confirmations with a decent success rate? 51% is like doomsday for bitcoin though. And really all of these stated numbers should be 20% lower given that aprox 20% of the share is unknown. If Ghash has 31% we should still be worried I totally agree. I remember that BTCguild took action when they got over 35%, they raised the pool share fee, and made sure miners would go to other pools, very responsible of them, I respect that very much. I have absolutely no respect for GHash.IO, they should have add a fee long time ago.

Yes, the price (1.5 BTC) was great (imo) - for reasons I cannot understand - the silver Lealana litecoins do not sell these days, perhaps it is correlated with the ultra low litecoin exchange rate. I have most of the litecoins smoothie have made and I think the coins are extremely beautiful.

Satoshi didn't plan the birth of pool when he projected bitcoin with the 51% attack possibility.
i think he thought about it, but he couldn't find a good solution He properly assumed that the miners would use their brains when selecting their pool.

I will buy your coin if we can agree on the price. PM send.

I am amazed by the numer of ignorant greedy newbs who say that they don't give a shit. Please google "bitcoin 51% threat", learn about something before you start using it.
Agreed Satoshi warned about this.

Would you consider shipping on roll overseas to Sweden?

Well at least I can say that I have never mined on Ghash, BECAUSE they have always been the biggest pool. Since I care for bitcoin I haven't even looked at the incentives for mining there, and always mined on a smaller pool. At least for my part I am not responsible for this weak link or flaw in the bitcoin system. So yeah I care.
NO Not always... one and half year ago was BTCguild the biggest - at least they did something actively to reduce their size, I have much respect for that.

They auction it for cheaper price ?
Well, since it is a auction, then is the final price not know yet...
|
|
|
At least they auction them in bulks, one can hope that big whales pig them up and stash them away, it would be nasty if they just dumped all of them on the exchanges.

SELL SELL SELL (I need cheap bitcoin)

The same argument could be made for any physical bitcoin. I doubt someone today may redeem a funded one now, but it could have been redeemed some time back.
Cas coins aren't just any physical bitcoins. They are THE physical bitcoin. I already tried to buy the redeemed 1000 BTC gold coin from goat and offered $5K USD. He wanted $50K USD. =/ Did he redeem it? I though he sold it for 1 mil $.

Buy 1BTC, transfer to a paper-wallet, put the paper wallet in a sealed envelope - promise your self you will *never* break the seal. Stash the envelope away somewhere safe. Then will you be part of the bitcoin story no matter what happen.

I'm far from being a good trader, but I saw that as long as I used "big" exchanges such as Cryptsy or Mintpal to speculate, I always ended up losing. The reason is that once a coin gets mainstream and reaches "big" exchanges, it has already boomed, and can only get higher thanks to pumps, which are impossible to predict if you are not the whale/team pumping. I started to gain when I moved to smaller exchanges such as Coinnext and Bittrex, you have to do a lot of research about coins and then invest in those you think are promising when their market cap is still small, because that is the moment before the true rise occurs.
Luck is always a big factor, but if you keep trying you will eventually hit the jackpot. I lost a lot of btc speculating without experience, then all of a sudden I put less then a btc into XC at the right moment when it still was only on Bittrex, and a few days later I found myself with almost 20 btc, repaying all the losses I ever had an also having a nice profit.
I like you story, thanks for sharing. I think you have to ask yourself real careful if you have the "psyche" to be a daytrader, you really need to be smart, lucky and have ice cold patient. I was doge millionaire back in December (for the lolz) and hold all the way until the +200 pump (and sold) - but honesty, not worth it. I slept bad, had to check on the exchange rates all the time. Now I have paper-wallets and physical bitcoins - My coins are safe and I sleep very well during the night - priceless

If you're a beginner, stay away from trading because you have the risk of losing money. So, If I can give you an advice, learn before, all strategy and terms of the trader, then when you're able to trade, use what you've learned. Good Trading ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Totally agreeing to this. Keep in mind: when someone "earn" on trading then is someone loosing on trading. If you take out the luck factor, then is Pro's the one earning and noobs are the one loosing. Best advice from me: stay far away from daytrading. Take you bitcoins, hide them away (far way from any exchange) and enjoy that they are worth more 5-10 years from now. You sleep much better on a pillow with a loaded paper wallet inside compared to having bought 4 trillion crapaltcoin41.
