Which wallet is the best and why?
Running a full node with Bitcoin Core (aka. bitcoin qt) is the best, not only to you but also to the whole bitcoin project. |

it is a terrible idea to use a bookmark wallet. hackers have been stealing from password protect wallets. how hard it is going to be to steal a bookmark? Unless you keep that bookmark offline, I recommend not to use rushwallet. it is probably the least secure without password! Very true. You shouldn't use that Rushwallet to keep your bitcoin. If you are in a hurry, download the Electrum wallet and you can get it ready in a minute. |

-bitcrate.me and coinbox.me ( bitcrate.me ) ( coinbox.me ) Best colection of faucets, you can hit the minimum withdraw within a few hours and payouts are farely fast, every 6 hours I think. I also STRONGLY recomend these two
I remember I read a post a few weeks ago, saying that most of the faucets coinbox linked don't work. I am trying to find the thread now. |

To be honest, I can't really understand why people buy those physical coins at a high premium, and some even pay good money for unloaded coins.

My btc-e account was hacked on Thursday 7th and my 1100NMC + 1400PPC where withdrawn without me. they hacked my email too. the address they send my NMC to is: NKoRGdKkDHNQSTXwednEdyMsgnJA2oyxk2 and the address they used for PPC is: PXsMukRtNKo7rYrNoarMRnfqoNkff9k5E6 .
I sent tickets to btc-e support and they said: Your funds are gone out of the exchange and we can't bring them back to you.
what should I do???
Check for malware. Generate new secure passwords for your btc-e account, email account, e-banking acconut and all other important accounts (different password for different site). Enable 2FA for the sites. |

Bitstamp.
It seems to me it is the most trusted big exchange (comparing to the mysterious btc-e, the dead mtgox and the 0% fee Chinese exchanges).

You are kinda screwed... the wallet is encrypted with multiple rounds of AES making it much, much harder to crack by almost any means. Try getting a quantum computer  Wrong. It's indeed very possible to crack a password if you know a little about it. I've found around 8 passwords within a week. That is because they knew a little bit about their password. If you know the majority of your password you should be able to get it. If you are certain you used it but, might of made a typo(s) then it takes under a hour usually to find. The less you know about the password the more the chance of recovery failing. Remember, we are not trying to crack a private key, but a password. It's much easier and is possible. If anyone, needs help. Feel free to contact me about the matter. Not sure about OP's case, but for Ronya, his password is very short and simple, and it is not really hard to brufe-force it. I know for certain it was short and german. Maximun 5-6 letters(no numbers). Normally the first Letter is Big, you know what i mean, not frog, but Frog.

Im not in a position to buy BTC off an exchange at the moment, so what faucets do you guys use?
You are not going to get any meaningful amount of BTC from a faucet. I would suggest to join a signature campaign if you want some BTC without paying for it. I agree this is a much better way to get a little bit of bitcoin. A faucet will pay you next to nothing for hours of work.
but faucet is the best starter for newbie to learn how to earn some satoshi.
If you can make your faucet grow (like:share your ref link) it will become a great income.
By playing faucet & signature campaign, that become double income  If you use the time spent on faucet to make more posts with signature campaign and get more ref on faucets, you can get more than that "double income".  |

First heard of "bitcoin" a year ago, and have been earning it and holding it for like 7 months now. |

From Wikipedia.org: Ripple is a payment system, currency exchange and remittance network by Ripple Labs. It is built upon a distributed, open source internet protocol, consensus ledger and native currency called ripples (XRP). The Ripple network purports to enable "secure, instant and nearly free global financial transactions of any size with no chargebacks". It supports any fiat currency (dollars, yen, etc.), cryptocurrency (bitcoin, litecoin, etc.), commodity or other unit of value (frequent flier miles, mobile minutes, etc.). Ripple is the most successful Crypto 2.0 protocol. Ripple is an open source, peer-to-peer payments system with 3 – 5 second transaction clear times. Ripple lets you transfer any asset across the network, with automatic currency conversion and fast settlement, while featuring the irreversibility, distributed robustness, and negligible fees that come with cryptocurrency technology. Link: http://www.crosscoinventures.com/what-is-ripple/I don't know too much about it, but I think it has something called "gateways" that make it work like a decentralized exchange. It lets you transfer and convert a variety of currencies using the gateways and XRP is the currency used internally within the Ripple ecosystem to facilitate this. is it a scam ? is it safe or not to use this system ? please, explain it to me .. thanks Do you consider altcoin pre-mining and pump and dump sort of a scam?  |

even if it goes to 1000, it changes nothing for most of us boat missers
That's wrong. It's at like 500-600 right now if it goes up to 1000+ thats one hell of a profit. It is interesting to see people viewing bitcoin completely different from other assets. Some in the speculation forum even expect a 10x increase in a year easily... |

Is it really possible to do this with brute force? I mean a ruby or python script won't do you any good, that's sure... they're interpreted languages. I guess it totally depends on the size of your key then.... A GPU could do this. But of course it is still futile for a real bitcoin private key! They're safe!
Brute-forcing a 256bit bitcoin private key is statistically impossible, but brute-forcing the password of an encrypted wallet is completely doable if there are only a few unknown characters in the password. |

They're pretty much all shit, but I like the one on primedice as you can gamble with it. There's new faucet levels just been released as well.
Yeah, PrimeDice has a pretty decent faucet, that's for sure! The only disadvantage would be that you can't withdraw the coins you get there, unless you are above a certain amount of BTC! The cashout threshold is pretty low at just 50000 satoshi. So it is not that hard to get over that threshold, especially during happy hours. |

I can see there are lots of signature campaign, maybe you can also join.
I have also heard about such kind of signature campaign. But i don't think it is a good way of earning BTC. Through this kind of campaign you can earn very small amount of BTC. Not really. Wait till you are a member and do the calculations. True. When you are just at newbie rank, you can only get 4000 satoshi per post, but when you are at member rank, you can get 40000 satoshi. |

I have read that BitMit was a good marketplace. I'm unfortunate that it was closed before I use it. Can anyone, who has the experience of using BitMit, please tell me how the product delivery tracking used to work on BitMit ?
What do you mean by product delivery tracking? It was basically an eBay-like site where you could sell or buy/bid things and buy them with Bitcoin. You first send your Bitcoins to an escrowed wallet on the site, and the funds were 'frozen' if you bought something. If you received the goods, you could 'unfreeze' the funds and they would go to the seller. In case of a delivery not arriving, BitMit would have to settle the conflict. I mean a tracking system that confirms the product delivery independent of buyer/seller. You mean how the site will verify the situation and handle the escrowed bitcoin, when the seller claims to have sent the product while the buyer claims the opposite? |

Can someone please explain the perks of being a newbie, junior, member, full member, senior, hero, donator and VIP?
It would be great to have a list of the perks as right now all I see is the sig benefits.
VIPs can change their name themselves. Both donators and VIPs can visit a special board opening to mods and them only. Apart from the sig code, different member ranks (different activity levels) have a different posting time limit. |

Yeah, that's wrong, not sure where he got that from. I suggested it a couple times in the staff forum, maybe that's it.
It is a very good idea IMO. But since you have suggested it a couple of times and this rule hasn't been implemented yet, does theymos not like it? |
