And probably last question, what are pros and cons of using paper wallet like this instead of Electrum one that other user said?

Paper and desktop wallets are not made for same purpose. Paper wallets are mostly for long term storage, basically you print, send the funds there and forget about them while desktop wallet are mostly for daily uses. As for the security, If your PC is not infected then your wallet is safe, and for the paper, as long ans you are hiding it in a safe place, you are fine.

What do you mean by a "paper" wallet?

A paper wallet is just a piece of paper with the Public and Private keys. You can write down your private keys with a pen on notebook paper and technically is a "paper wallet".

Try selling/trading gold and then come back and talk about fees.

Paper wallets are the safest way to store your Bitcoins, in my opinion.

1. Open http://bitaddress.org in a Private/Incognito window
2. Turn off your Internet connection/Airplane mode
3. Generate a new Bitcoin address/Private Key
4. Print your Paper Wallet
5. Close the Incognito Window
6. Turn back on Wifi

Now you can send your Bitcoins to the paper wallet and you control the private keys. You can import the private key into blockchain wallet when you're ready to spend.

Thanks a lot for your answers! Shame that my printer isn't working so this will have to wait.

Also, is it safe to print it more than once? I mean if i would lose first copy by mistake or destroy it somehow.

Alsoo, is there a limit of how many times i can send bitcoins into this new paper wallet?

You can take a screenshot of the paper wallet and save to a jpg file. You can also copy the Public/Private key in a Read-only text file for backup.

How to get bitcoins back from cold storage?
Import/Scan the Private Key QR code into Blockchain wallet or other wallet app

What are private keys? Public keys?
Think of the Public key as your "Username" and the Private Key as your "Password"

Why transaction fee is this large?
I don't really think it's that large. You can send $1000 worth of Btc for like 40 cents

What is segwit (different topic but i saw it often in forum!)
Segwit or Segregated Witness is a feature that speeds up transactions. You can call it an alt-coin if you will, but it is what it is.

356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Increasing Block size lowers the value of Bitcoin on: August 17, 2017, 06:08:49 PM
Just think about the Blockchain as high demand realestate. If there is an office building right in the middle of town, and all the local businesses want to rent office space; creating more offices will just lower the scarcity.

Transaction fees are proportional to the price of Bitcoin. If the fees rise due to increased transactions then that means demand is high, thus increasing the price/btc.
357  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Where can i buy BTC and ALT coins with quick verification? on: August 17, 2017, 05:23:00 PM
I like Shapeshift.io no verification needed. I also use Bitfinex and hitbtc

I would ask him "Should we increase block size to 2 MB?" and I'm pretty sure he would answer "No".

When Bitcoin was at $200 for 2 years, people were saying that it's dead, but now everyone suddenly became Bitcoin believers and decentralization advocates after the price crossed $4,000. And there were no significant changes to Bitcoin, aside from SegWit. It seems like most experts don't have their own strong opinion on Bitcoin's technology, and simply base their views on current Bitcoin's price.

PayPal is the worst! I've been scammed several times and been on both sides of the transaction (selling digital goods and buying digital goods) and they ALWAYS side with the scammer. It's ridiculous.

There are scams in Bitcoin's ecosystem too, but you can choose from many escrows, so it's much better than centralized payment systems.



Most of the scams I have encountered with PayPal are chargeback scams or PayPal reversing payments because of unauthorized account access. With Bitcoin, once you receive the funds there is no 3rd party that can just take your money out of your account like PayPal. It's unfair because PayPal account holders that are negligent in securing their accounts should be held liable for damages caused by their carelessness. Instead I have to foot the bill even after I have already provided a product or service.
