Not to be blunt but when will Monero have an official GUI wallet ?
Official, because the other wallets I dont trust that much. Can anybody tell this? Or atleast a time range 1-2 months?
Figure out this and one has a real opportunity to profit by trading Monero. I`m not that interested to trade monero, but i just want to know an estimation. Its really dissapointing to wait that much for a GUI wallet, how hard can it be to retranslate everything and make a C++ base gui wallet or whatever. It could be done in a few weeks with some devotion. |

I'm still perfectly content with paper. I wouldn't trust flash memory or my brain.
But flash memory and brain is fire resistant (if you dont put it near fire) Paper can easily burn if you have a house fire. There are many electric items in my house that can catch fire anytime, I dont want it to burn down my private key. |

Best current cold storage method
In my opinion, your brain. 1.Pick a random 256 bit number. 2.Memorize it. 3.Compute the bitcoin address in your brain... Or on a computer or device that is disconnected from internet if you cannot compute by mind. 4.Burn that computer, then destroy it. 5.Now you can send bitcoin to that address.  Tips: Train the private key on your mind every day at regular intervals. So you won't forget it. Thats just over the top, not even the most gifted people can do this. There are people who can memorize books, perform big math in their brains, but this is just too much for even them. |

Sounds good. I guess we need larger institutions that can actually enforce loans to be paid.
Current lending services are just crying to get people scammed, I guess some form of ID will always be required for lending to avoid getting scammed.
Yes but its more than that, either they need cross platform verification (verify their bitcointalk accounts, only member and higher ranks can get loans, etc.) Or they need to implement an escrow system, to protect lenders from scammers. A risk management specialist can easily spot scammers and can filter out 99% of scams easily. Thats whats needed. |

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.
Thats bullshit. You need to give away small % so that people can try it. Also a faucet itself is a business, but maybe it has some viruses, so people need good antivirus. However faucets, survey sites, task sites, are all good services. |

Hi! How BTC bitcoin developed in your country? Are there many people in your real life that you know that use BTC ? Very badly, there are a few services that accept it in my city but none of them i dont use. There is a restaurant that i will visit soon that accepts it, but i would like if grocery stores would ,that would make buying food easier. It needs 3-4 more years before it gets spotlight here. By then I will be rich anyway. |

Only for investments and money making or fun.
I hardly spend it for every day goods since I dont have any shop nearby.

This is disgusting.
Scammers are scammers, they can be avoided.
But just brutal hackers like this virusing PC's is just horrible.
We need a better operating system, windows is just a pure crap that can be exploited in so many ways.

Of course I don't mean BTC Casinos or similar things. I know you can earn but can lose there as well.
1 BTC / HOUR? No way, unless you have a big casino, or an exchange. Not even if you are an investor you dont earn constantly that much. |

Are you willing/able to change the popular terms in order to make Bitcoin more friendly for average people?
You can just say digital cash, digital coin, internet coin ,internet money, free money, safe money , etc. But the correct term is cryptocurrency, but for laymen, and if you are in circles full of newbies then better use an euphemism |

 Happy birthday bitcoin, lets celebrate our nice community |

There's a consistent theme that I see popping up on here that I find rather fascinating, and that is the way that many posters perceive BTC.
What do I mean? People doing things with BTC that they'd never, ever dream of doing with their dollars - gambling as an 'investment', or gambling at all, pouring coins into bullshit investment schemes run by totally anonymous showers of shit, lending on here to shambolic morons, asking the question 'where do I get free coins?'
Considering how much of a pain up the arse it can be to obtain coins and keep them safe and their future potential, I find it bizarre that there's such an extreme disconnect. I would've thought it should be at the opposite end of the scale but that's clearly not the case for many.
Why do you think this attitude has developed and where do you stand yourself?
Yes bitcoin is real money, i consciously know this. However unconsciously its hard to get used to it. I was born in the pre bank era, and always used toilet paper cash. Its so new to me. |

Raise the fucking block sizes already.
There is nothing to debate here, better earlier than later, as later it could cause more damage.

He is not the "Bitcoin CEO" , but the MSM is trying to demonize bitcoin once again...

You're asking a very complex question. This question can not be answered with a reason or two. There are many factors in play. Maybe Bitcoin is still too complex for some people. Besides, the majority are ignorant and closed-minded (change is hard to accept).
The biggest problem is lack of awareness. I got this thread where I put forward my suggestions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1171565.0But the biggest problem is lack of awareness. I`m not sure if more than 5% of the population are aware of bitcoin at all. Need more advertising guys! |

Im honestly too lazy to register in another forum, but I would love if someone can ask him what does he pretend to do in the case of the blocksize being too big so that average people can't run a node? Why is he ok with centralizing Bitcoin nodes when mining is already centralized? I assume someone has already asked him 40 questions about the blocksize so im going to start reading the 7 pages to see what happened.
Its not the blocksize centralization. Bitcoin was already fucked when they added difficulty to mining. There should not have been a rising difficulty in mining bitcoin. That was the first mistake. |

Ok they eliminate international fees and comissions for themselves.
But when the employee wants to spend his bitcoin, he has to turn it into fiat, which will then make it subject to those costs later.
So what they did was they just outsourced the employer costs to the employee.
---------------
Now when bitcoin becomes accepted by more merchants, they wont have to change it, but so far this is not useful for 99% of the population.
But still nice to see innovation like this.
