- Don't give your cell phone to your trading partner
I assume you mean "cell phone number", right? I would never give my phone. If you're afraid to give your number, get a prepaid burner phone. Here I pick up a prepaid cheap Samsung phone including credit for 10 euro, and the battery lasts for weeks. This way you keep your personal number private. Yes, I mean't cell phone numberGood point about the burner phone. Once you give your cell # to someone, there is no taking it back unless you get a new number. You may get people texting you in the middle of the night. |

Thank you very much for every reply,
So no one here loss in the final result ?
No one is going to admit here that they have lost in trading. It's human nature. I have made some profit doing arbitrage, but it is not a get-rich quick scheme, and it requires a lots of trades to make profit. It can be time-consuming, not to mention stressful. The profit I have made is not enough to support me full-time. For me, trading is more of a hobby. To do it full-time you really need to be able to stomach the highs and lows of trading, which include avoiding scams, overcoming the financial and emotional blow when you do get scammed, finding good sources of btc and not having to rely solely on exchanges, and building up a good client base. And then there is competition... |

Maybe one that is less demanding in terms of disk space, e.g. electrum or multibit hd.
Good advice, shorena. I want to first see how the installation of bitcoin core goes, and then I will check out electrum. I have enough headaches right now than to start playing with another wallet. Since having to start over with bitcoin core, it has taken 4 days so far to install. |

I added the "-prune= 550" to the bitcoin qt name and extension.
I am able to get to the contents.
In the terminal, it shows:
MacBookAir-xxxxxxxxxxx-x:~ [myname]$ /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt-prune\=550 ; exit;
All I keep getting is an error that says disk space is low.
so you renamed the software instead of running it from the terminal with the prune command, did I get that right? if that's true then no wonder it didn't work. run bitcoin-qt from the terminal instead. according to the path you just posted it should look like this. /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -prune=n Yes, I renamed the software. Okay, so I did what you suggested and it now says: reindexing blocks on disk... It looks like it is starting all over again. I'll check in again in a couple of days... I appreciate the help, Encrypted. This technical stuff is tough for a non-techie like me. |

Gulp  I have a mac. I was inserting -prune=550 in the qt, and now all it says is: The application "Bitcoin Core.app" can't be opened. -10810 Not feeling so good right now... what exactly did you do? does it work without the prune command? the method for linux and windows I posted above probably won't work on mac. I added the "-prune= 550" to the bitcoin qt name and extension. I am able to get to the contents. In the terminal, it shows: MacBookAir-xxxxxxxxxxx-x:~ [myname]$ /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt-prune\=550 ; exit; All I keep getting is an error that says disk space is low. |

I don't think you need to reinstall to switch to pruned mode. simply run bitcoin core with -prune=N .
you won't lose access to your addresses as long as you backup the wallet.dat.
I'm not sure what you mean by running bitcoin core with -prune=N. Can you elaborate? Thanks! |

Okay, I'm in the middle of installing bitcoin core, and I also did a newbie mistake of sending btc there to 2 addresses before it has fully installed.
Now I'm getting an error message: error: disk space too low!
I am not very technical. I searched online and I see that I can reinstall using "pruning".
My biggest concern right now is losing the btc that I have sent over. If I reinstall, won't I lose access to those addresses?
Like I said, I am technically-challenged. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I would go by this list: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-walletEven though blockchain.info is not on the list, I have had no problems with it. I am noticing that downloading bitcoin core is taking forever. I am on my 3rd day, and I still have over 20 weeks of synchronizing  |

The article merely said that Bangladesh is considering dropping Islam as its official religion. Fat chance it will really happen. Imagine: the people in power- the religious zealots- willing to give up their power!
I guess one can only dream.
Imagine the new Arab Spring it could create.

The users who uses it for a bad thing that makes people think that Bitcoin is for an illegal activities, I hate them.
Yeah but its not only bitcoin that is being used for illegal activities all rest currencies are also used for illegal and criminal activities, but I don't understand why people always target only bitcoin? Before bitcoin, there was and almost always has been fiat. Cash is still used for bad things, but bitcoin is being targeted for its anonymity AND because it can be transmitted electronically. That has made the financing of bad things so much easier than sending cash by personal messenger. The power of bitcoin can be used for good. It is when it is used for bad is what I worry about. |
