Why wouldn't they? Some of the best programmers I know are female, and they love Bitcoin.
Because its been a very common misconception for years that women do not use the internet beyond social media. Well beyond that, its also a misconception that women are not in the slightest interested in STEM activities (science, technology, engineering, and math). Honestly its a huge injustice, and if people do not speak up about it, the misconception will continue on. In case anyone is wondering why I am so passionate about this, its because my daughter loves science and math. And I do the best I can everyday to teach her and to explain to her concepts well beyond her age in order to continue to spark her curiosity. I dont want her to grow up shafted or objectified because she is not a male in an engineering or science field. The facts cannot be denied that there is proportionately less users of Bitcoin that are women then men, unless every survey or each piece of research has been manipulated.... I think this presents a great opportunity for innovation and someone to reach a female demographic with a reason that bitcoin could be fun or add value to daily life. I would also like to note that it is not only women who will be "shafted and objectified" because they are not involved with engeneering or a science field. Is it safe to assume that tomorrow's world is more technical than yesterdays and having tech experience might be beneficial in a field that still requires an elevated level of technical knowledge? What can we do to promote bitcoin to a concentration of the female demographic? Perhaps time for a survey to learn about gender specific attractions to bitcoin. My mom is 62 and she's actually super interested in learning bitcoin, although she has a past with stocks and the financial trade that might be where the interest stems, either way it was cool to see her interested in something the majority of my 25-30 year old buddies are completely confused about. |

i just dont want a product dealing with my money to be like the wild west in 1800s
I'm curious what you imagine the financial structure of the wild west in the 1800's to be like? I have this picture in my head where most transactions were finally settled in precious metal coinage, but I may be wrong. Today, OTOH, we have a system whereby the financial parasite class: poof money into existence out of nothing; charge us 'interest' for the privilege of indebting ourselves to them; make us pay the tab for any corrections; and ultimately steal all our wealth though this charade. All through the legalistic patina of regulation. Do you really see this as preferable? If you would take a step off your extreme nothings you might be able to think in a productive manner and realize not all regulation means you specifically are going to get railed in the ass. But i guess it's easier to think in extremes right? lol, keep believing a form of transaction that's implemented into billion dollar corporations globally, that has it's own financial services and trading platforms will continually operate without regulation. Too bad because I am sure you're smart, but your face is so covered in your own bullshit you can't seem to realize might be more productive to push for regulation that is good for bitcoin instead of none at all. |

Ahh, perfectly said. I think the emphasis of regulation should focus on the entrepreneurs and administration of the businesses providing financial services. Some sort of screening, or method of at least putting face to the company before people invest 0000's unknowingly. Just like a basic screening. Super basic. If you're going to open up a bank, there should be no issue with accountabillity of funds and a face should be demanded. I refuse to put 0.01 BTC in any services without some point of accountability anymore. This means cold storage for now until there is some sort of way to ensure when hit hits the fan, there is someone who says look, i fucked up, and i will deal with the consequences. Right now, from my point of view, consequences < reward. Regulation sucks wang, but at some point... something has to be changed.
Jeebus - put on your big boy pants. Look into the character of the people in whom you are ponderating the idea of entrusting your money. If they are snakes, then don't do it. You really need Mommy Ammurrica to do that for you? I haven't lost a cent on here, but thanks for your witty bullshit. It's attitudes like yours that keep the 99% believing this shit is a complete scam. Carry on, cunt, anything productive to add, or we can argue, up to you.  |

Why the dot ca domain?
The idea started out a little different a few months ago, as a Canadian grabbed .ca, which doesn't really apply any more. I plan to switch over to a domain, which I wont name as someone has already scooped up yocrypto.com and every other potential name out there. |

Thanks everyone for the answers, they were really hepful. I am actually curious to know even more details about bitcoin, but right now my priority is how can I buy bitcoin without chance of being robbed. Someone mentioned having an offline computer, but the problem with that is that I have only one computer right now, I canīt have an offline one. So whatīs the safest way to buy bitcoin with what I have? Would it be paper wallet or what?
Here's some physical wallet options - http://yocrypto.ca/listing-category/physical-wallets/I personally use circle to purchase, and send to my woodwallet right away. There is a whole bunch of free options for paper wallets. Exchanges thrid party purchasing services, all might be a risk, but also quite important to the ecosystem and funtionality of Bitcoin. Personally i wouldn't say stay clear 100%, but if you are going to use ANY service that puts a third party in charge of your fund, do your research. If you have to use it, 'get your coins, and withdraw into your paper wallet or w.e fast. If you're trading, make your trades and withdraw before bed. Just keep them close. 2FA wherever possible and just be aware of what is happening with the busines you are trusting your money with... Can I ask you some questions? 1- What is a woodwallet? 2- How can I be sure my physical wallet wonīt be hacked? 3- How to make a paper wallet with absolutely no chance of a hacker figuring out my key? 4- Supposing I already made my paper wallet, do I just buy bitcoins with its "external address"? 5- Shouldnīt I be worried about having a physical wallet, in the sense that if it breaks or is lost, my BTC is lost forever? 1. Wood wallet is one of many physical alternatives. Basically, physical wallets provide offline storage, or remove network connections and back doors. You can use your physical wallet as a key to access savings, which cannot be taken out unless you scan the physical wallet. Wood wallet is a woodvariety thats roughly ~30 bucks, i chose it because it was cool looking, but there is many free alternatives, metal wallets, or others with screens and such. Take a browse, some really cool technology coming out right now.. 2. Physical wallet puts the security in your hands. As for hacking of them and tracking of them, I am not 100% on all my tech knowledge I would reccomend speaking with someone who's been around for a while and completely understands all the back end happening. 3. - I think this might help, offline address allows you to create a key while offline. https://www.offlineaddress.com/4. - Purchase coins with w.e service or thorugh a miner, then send to the public or receive address in your physical wallet. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER share your private key. 5. - well, yes and no, keep it safe. IT's physical, more like cash. If you leave it out and someone takes it your frigged, likewise, if your house is set on fire and you have a wood wallet, not looking good, although I know you can make backups, this si something a tech body could help you out with a bit more. PAper wallet will never break, but it could get exposed to elements and yes, trouble... I hope someone else reading this can touch base a little deeper with the tech side of things. Anyhow, if you have more Q's send a mesage I can help to extent of my knowledge. I must say though, you are doing the right thing by coming in here and asking about it before willingly giing money to something that is unknown. Well done, and have a great time with bitcoin, this is a really cool place. Lots to be aware of, but i really enjoy Bitcoin and the community that supports its technology. |

Circle with cc or debit card, works really well for me.. max buyout per week is 500$ USD ..
Agreed. Circle is the fastest way to get Bitcoin by a long shot. I got in early through invite and it took less than 5 minutes to set up my account with my Visa. Money upload is instantaneous and your Dollars get converted automatically to BTC at market rate. Can't beat that =D Couldn't agree more! The only issue I had as a Canadian is not being able to withdraw. But honestly, I don't mind, there i plenty of Canadian exchanges that work quick to swap back. Circle is super fast and awesome thus far for my purchases. |

Happy holidays Bitcoin team, Here to share the new look at YOCrypto.ca with you! Previously, we have been focused on Blog content. YOCrypto will be focusing on merchant service listings, useful merchant resources/guides, market research, and press release exposure moving into the new year! The main goal is to provide merchants a place to familiarize and locate services that might be useful in their Bitcoin strategy..... This includes a number of unique merchant services, but also tools such as wallets and exchanges used by both parties. Merchants are consumers as well =D - Bitcoin wallets (32)
- Bitcoin exchanges (21)
- ATM & BTM options
- POS services (13)
- Bitcoin administrative (3) - Taxes, financial lending/borrowing, etc
Will be focusing on adding services, along with updating service listings with the information that matters. As we are moving into our new home, more content will be popping up over the next few days/weeks. We have conducted a few surveys in the past which I am working on relocating to the new site as we speak, as well a new survey is ready to go for next week. I really want to provide a free resource for accurate information that merchants accepting bitcoin will use and understand in an easily navigable fashion. Merchant? Come list your services and let us help with your marketing. Control what is shared, share pictures, and use HTML to communicate your message in your words. View visitor counts and a whole bunch of other awesome features. Hope you all enjoy the new look and YOCrypto can be a useful tool for finding a Bitcoin oriented service that works with your needs.

What's news? I lost some ammount of btc, Sholud I inform police or other institution? Any chance to return?
I doubt the police would care about this, but I guess that if you threaten to sue him he might send you the BTC he stole from you to avoid going to court. It's worth trying if it's a relatively big amount. Other than that, the chances of return seem slim. unless you`re in the UK it`s pretty usless to call the police or report it even if you are somewhere in the UK , the amount has to be significant Actually it doesn't A theft is a theft regardless of value of items stolen You could and would be arrested in the UK for stealing an apple from a market if someone reports it If it were ok to steal things of "low Value" imagine the chaos that would ensue ..... Just a q... Who has been convicted of any Bitcoin thefts thus far, in which the funds have been returned to their owners. Illegal is illegal, but I don't see to many coins getting returned in any case.... |

Excuse me, Iīm new to bitcoin. I have tried to read many explanations for beginners for the last days, but there are some basic things that I still canīt understand, although I consider them essential to know before I buy my first BTC.
I read all the time about storing BTC in wallets (software, hardware and paper wallets) and I canīt understand what is meant by that. First of all, how can a virtual "thing" be stored? I can see how physical coins, gold, etc. could be stored in a box or safe, but how can a virtual coin be stored in a software, hardware, and even... a piece of paper? I still canīt grasp the logic of it. For example, if itīs just a computer file, then why canīt it be copy-pasted and turned into many files?
The reason for my question is specifically that Iīve read about many cases of stolen bitcoins, and I want to understand what makes it possible or impossible for a bitcoin to be stolen? How Can I buy a BTC and transfer it directly to a piece of paper (supposing I understand how thatīs done) with zero chance of it being stolen?
Thank you very much for the help.
Sorry, the Bitcoin system isn't a good place for morons to store their wealth quite yet. Wait about 5 more years and it will be far better for use by idiots. Presently, it requires some understanding of concepts which are somewhat abstract and complex. Probably the first thing you should know is there aren't any bitcoins and as such you can't store them anywhere. They are merely an abstraction. What is really funny is, there aren't really any bitcoin even in the abstraction! There is merely a long list (ledger) of entries which basically say: "Fred mined 2 bitcoins and sold them to Sally who gave 2 bitcoins to Jim, then jim gave 1 to mike, .5 to sam and .5 to himself". The ledger doesn't really note anything like the serial number of some 'bitcoin' - rather it just marks in an indelible manner the ownership as they (bitcoins) moved from one owner to another. So you can't just 'copy' a bitcoin with cut and paste. Get it? I don't know, what is wrong with people like you. Yes, even an idiot can use Bitcoin. You can teach everybody to make a paper wallet or use something like Trezor to store your private key safely. Not everybody who uses Bitcoin is a computer scientist. Right? Everyone here has a vested interest in Bitcoins success, it makes no sense to be rude and an asshat to new adopters |

Two orders down. Will update!
Why don't you update with a real business and quit domain squatting. All you're doing is upping barriers to entry for small businesses and entrepreuers. Run a service that doesn't skim off the lower class you fucking cunt. So let me get this straight. Nobody should speculate on an early investment opportunity - be it bitcoin, real estate, guitars, or anything else - so that when you have your brilliant lightbulb moment you can get everything at the cheapest price possible? Do you realize that isn't how anything in the world works? Homesteaders set up shop on land they marked with four posts. In those days - like domains - the land wasn't very liquid. Are they also cunts because a "legitimate" farmer could have used all the unused land they were unable to till? Or were they high risk early investors who believed in something when others didn't see it? My suggestion to you from the is don't waste your time being pissed at someone for making an investment in an industry he is excited about because you didn't make it first. I am actually interested - and have been - in developing a number of these domains. You don't have a fools clue what my financial situation or motivation is, so don't try to guess. You'll be wrong. Get off your moral high ground man and change the world. Seriously! I am sure you are good person, and the world needs you focused on things that matter - rather than on being pissed because there is a marketplace (fairly illiquid) for some domains. If you have a good business idea, the domain you choose won't hold you back. There are many great businesses with shitty names. Are you kidding me? I am sitting on Godaddy, looking at the same 10.99 bitcoin domains you are. This is not an entrepreneurial en-devour, this is not a unique idea, this is not a venture, or anything of anyform unique, it's a quick way to raise rates for people with an idea. I don't care what you are worth, not even a little bit. I personally think it's bullshit. T My suggestion to you from the is don't waste your time being pissed at someone for making an investment in an industry he is excited about because you didn't make it first. I am actually interested - and have been - in developing a number of these domains. You don't have a fools clue what my financial situation or motivation is, so don't try to guess. You'll be wrong. I have plenty going on, I promise. This actually crossedmymind a year ago, but I opted to start other websites and leave the $9 dollar domains for people who actually have an idea or a skill to bring the idea to life. [quote[Get off your moral high ground man and change the world.[/quote] What moral high ground would you be referring to? My opinion has everything to do with barriers of entry for wantreprenuers, nothing to do with morals. Do what you want, I could care less, your words don't change my thoughts on your grimey ass, domain raising, barrier building additional fees for entrepreneurs. Have fun! |

I would assume that Bitcoin has now moved beyond computer science graduates. When wall street starts getting interested, you know that the commercial phase is getting started. Did you see the thread about Microsoft today? PRettttty awesome |

Fuck yeah! Thanks for sharing, love to hear this. I think it's a good move for them to grab Apple customers interested in cryptocurrencies. |
