All that just gives me another reason not to travel to Greece. I don't want to be hired to spy on anyone, and I don't want to have people spying around me.

The place where you live matters. It's easier to live without money in rural India than in Beverly Hills.

So I have seen a few people sending bitcoins without any miner fees, and their amount eventually got sent back after a week or so.
So, what do you think the technique(or tips) for sending bitcoins without miner fees would be? This would be really helpful for sending small amounts less than BTC0.001 since the transaction fee would be more than 10% of the real amount transferred.
My experience of successful transactions without a fee were over one BTC. It's against the rules to make smallish transactions without a fee. |

Another sexist thread, just after International Women's Day.
What sexist? The OP is contemplating how to expose women to bitcoin. Somehow, I have the feeling the OP is not the most qualified person to introduce BTC to women. A bar may not be the best place either. I've introduced BTC to a few female friends exactly the same way as I did with blokes. |

But will the tourists be safe? Certainly not if they are discovered. I remember around10 years ago when on holiday. All of a sudden we were given receipts for everything in shops, bars and restaurants. When queried we were told that the tax inspector was in town. After a couple of days he moved on to an agricultural village around 5 miles inland and apparently he was picked up by some locals in a pick up van and badly beaten and left in a ditch at the side of the road.
This story of beating a tax inspector is a bit difficult to believe. In ancient times, that happened, but that was really long ago. Anyway, if that is real, they should hire more police forces to protect those guys instead of tourists. |

The problem is that most faucets will not let you withdraw until you reach 0.001, which can take over a week of viewing ads, clicking around and wasting lots of time in general.
Very true! This is my point. I haven't said that faucets give very little money. I said faucets give users a bad experience, and that they're bad for image. You may also note that all the original faucets are gone. I believe the original faucet, the one managed by Gavin Andresen shut down in Summer 2013. |

What a bunch of fascists! I would have never imagined that. A government's hiring innocent-looking foreigners to spy on its own people.
The best part is that: these fascists are radical leftists  . They are fascists to me. Normal governments do not spy on the people. It's already bad to do it by people in uniforms, and it's even worse to do it with people in disguise. |

For me, short-term = No way.
Long-term == Yes, since I will eventually be needing much more than I have now.
Is money one of the three most important things in your life?
Yes, definitely. I may not be an example, but I couldn't live the way I do without money. Besides, as I have traveled many times in third world countries (India and Africa) where I've met some people without any money, I sure don't want to live like them. |

For the first time, when I look at the offers on LocalBitcoins.com, there are a half-dozen currencies ahead of the US dollar, offering a higher price for Bitcoin than US dollar users.
You may also note that many people may be using the US dollar without being US citizens. |

Besides what I've already said, if you want to be safe the way I want, it's best to have several wallets, with different software, and to buy your BTC from several exchanges in different countries, wiring money to those from several bank accounts in several different countries.
I also suggest you move several times each year.

BTC's certainly not manipulating me.
We've seen young British girls recently being manipulated by Isis so much that they've left for Syria, but we've yet to see anything similar happening with BTC.

There may be something even worse than faucets, and that's signature campaigns below posts on this forum. I'm using them, so I can't criticize much, but it's sad to see people writing new posts obviously without reading what's been said already.
Anyway, my case is solid. I gave 2 arguments why faucets are bad for BTC, and nobody so far have proved them wrong.

A Major Difficulty No, they are bigger issues, right now. Much bigger. |

I have several wallets for the same purpose that I have several bank accounts in several different countries.
When you have several sources of income and several ways to spend it, you need organization. Also, in my physical wallet, the one I have in my pocket, I have 2 bills compartments, and that's nice. One for Euros, one for Swiss francs...

Faucets give people bitcoin to experiment with.
No. Not anymore. You don't experiment BTC with faucets. You experiment faucets. Nothing else. Check this: https://blockchain.info/address/1JQ82D4k5e7ciiLtUKX4RkgbuwuqdqnqhcThat was more than 2 years ago, and that was real. The guy was giving away more than one BTC a day. Today, one faucet will only give its users a few satoshis. So few that they won't be able to transfer it to their own wallet, because the sum is below the minimum allowed for a transfer. So a newbie will have to stick using faucets for several days to get above that, only to discover that the fee to transfer all that dust will eat it entirely. Is this a nice way to learn about BTC? Faucets were certainly useful, maybe up to 2013, but now, they should close for BTC'sake. |

When BTC started, nobody had any and it was worthless, so it was right to give away thousands of BTC to make it popular. All that has changed. Now that BTC's worth something, now that companies are building on BTC, now that serious business transactions are made with bitcoin, it's about time for faucets to adapt.
BTC is real. It's money, and you've got to work to earn some. I hope all faucets will disappear in 2015. Faucets are hurting bitcoin by making some people believing you can get it while doing nothing sitting in your home. No, BTC isn't like that, and it shouldn't be any easier to get than any fiat currency. Even for small amounts.

but the owners need to be contacted by any means possible. not to ask them but to inject them again in the bitcoin economy..
one day when no bitcoins will be mined anymore we will need every single bitcoins to get everything back to a cycle economy..
No, my friend. It doesn't make any difference. There could be 21 or 11 or 31 million BTC, and nothing would change. What matters is that the supply is limited, and that we know what the limit is. Besides that, total amount of BTC in circulation is irrelevant. |

I'm about to pay an invoice for a domain. It cost $10/ year but the bank take $7.5 in transfer fee. 75% in fee  That is ridiculous and this is why Bitcoin will succeed in the long run. Is it a 75% fee or $7.50 flat fee? I've already done hundreds of bank transfers for free within the Euro zone. I believe I can make € to £ transfers for free too, I only pay for the currency change. |

No, I'm not scared, because I have a few BTC which will provide me a bright future. It is the billions of people who don't have any BTC who should be scared.
