This sounds like something I would be interested in buying. Wonder if they are for sale for others?

Don't forget, SPV clients don't trust anyone either. They connect to different nodes and verify/transmit transactions from a few different nodes. If one is malicious, it will simply be ignored.

Wrong comparison. Blockchain.info costs $0 to open an account on. How much does it cost to buy a vault and start your own bank?

I think if Bitcoin actually reaches $5,000, at that point you won't be "selling" as much as buying/investing in Dollars/Euros.

It only costs a bit over BTC3 to get 10TB nowadays 

That crash on Wednesday they are talking about, is that the one where Bitcoin price went back to what it was the day before?

Just link to their website where we can see that they have a Bitcoin donation option. That's it.

I'm not stupid, I know exactly what it means. I was asking if you draw manga testicles, and why specifically testicles, instead of, say, hentai or yaoi, which would include the testicles, but have the rest of the people too. (unless you just draw some sort of weird anime-style characters that look like ball sacks with giant anime eyes and crazy smiles)

Hey! Are you saying that Russians use way too excessively long writing styles that can carry on for way more than needed just to get their point across in a too detailed manner, doing it to make sure that the reader understands what is being talked about, but aiming it at people who may be smart, or who may need some longer explanations to understand some otherwise simple, or at least grade-school level, concepts?  

Let them know that BitPay doesn't charge transaction fees for charitable organizations, and will convert the coins to cash for them, so all they'll need to do it get a BitPay account and add the bitcoin donation button to their website (which we will gladly help with). Any coins they get will get deposited as plain cash to their bank account, and as soon as we see that they have that set up, we'll send them $1,000 worth of coins. It'll probably be the easiest $1,000 they'll earn.

Get the audio book version. The story is interesting, and the characters are really well developed, but it's true, there is a lot of monologues (There's a whole 50 page chapter of nothing but a single guy's monologue), and having someone else read it for you (especially with voices) makes it easier to slog through.

It's hated because it poses the idea that when people work in their own self interest (selfish), they earn wealth by providing things for people that they want, and will pay for, thus making everyone better off; while when people work in everyone's self interest (socialist government types), they tend to bring down the inventors and dreamers, and make things horrible for everyone. Basically, selfishness stemming from "I want to create this thing and let people buy it from me, rules be damned" is good, and selfishness stemming from, "I want to get into a position of power through politics, and make everyone's lives better by using rules and taking things from everyone else" is bad. That's not a popular idea in heavily socialist countries.

BTW, there's a bit of an irony in the way the haters interpret it, too: Atlas Shrugs goes pretty heavily into corporate corruption and corporations getting together with government regulators to fuck up the little guy. I.E. It's blasts the hell out of specifically the problems the Occupy Wallstreet'ers are complaining about. But because the overall theme of the book is "Capitalism good," democrats and occupier types totally miss that part. If you read it from that understanding, the book is actually pretty much center of politics (libertarian), blasting both extremes of communism and fascism (governments and corporations working together) equally.

So is it that you draw manga and bollocks? I can't figure out what the comma is supposed to mean X)

Least safe method: Add the private key to Blockchain.info, spend what you need, send all remaining money (and change) to a new never-used paper wallet. Security concerns: keyloggers on your computer, Blockchain.info being compromised, general interwebs hacking douchebaggery.

Moderately safe method: Use a private key import software to import it into your official Blockchain-QT wallet (after making sure that password protection is turned on). Spend what you need, send the remaining money to a new paper wallet in case your PC was compromised without your knowledge. Security concerns: keyloggers on your computer.

Most safe method: Get a computer you never have to put on the internet, and stick a copy of offline Armory on that, and an online Armory on your main connected computer. Armory has a convenient built-in feature that lets you import the private key, so import it into the offline copy of Armory only. Then export a "Watching-Only" copy of the wallet (only has public keys) from the offline Armory to the online one. Use the online Armory computer to create transactions, the offline Armory to sign them, and the online again to transmit them (you have to copy an unsigned transaction file to a USB stick, actually walk it over to your offline computer, sign the file there, then walk it back to the online one and transmit from there). Spend what you need... and just keep your private key/paper wallet safe. You can keep using it, since it never touched the web. Security concerns: none, really, since the private key never touches the internet and is never exposed to any keyloggers, viruses, or hacks. About the only security threat is a physical attack, where someone comes to your house and beats your passwords and paper wallets out of you.

Nope. If you never used that private key, they should still be there. You can use the public key to check.

Gay was never really a bad word until people (kids) started using it in a derogatory way, actually accusing someone of being gay, i.e. weak, effeminate, cocksucker. It's used by gays, and that's OK. But when still used as a derogatory comment, still not OK. Kinda like I could call something "niggery." Even though blacks say "my nigga," me saying something like that? Not OK.
As for fags? They used to burn them. Layer of fags, layer of "fags," another layer of fags on top, and set the whole thing on fire.

I know, you missed out on the glory days of MyBitcoin, and wanted to relive the experience.
Aren't they returning the money? Maybe you didn't lose anything  much  everything?

Think about why "gay" went from meaning happy and carefree, to meaning something negative and nasty. If you can come up with anything at all that doesn't have anything to do with homophobia and general distaste for gay people, you're right. If not... 

You draw manga bollocks? Not sure if I should ask...

^^^ That's pretty much correct. Just make sure that you send all change back to the same private key when you spend it, otherwise it may send your change to one of your other addresses, and you may lose it when you delete your keys/wallet.

A better cold wallet option is Bitcoin Armory. It may look more complicated, but it's actually much easier to set up and use than this bit address paper method. (And more secure)

There is option #3: Take commission in BTC and use those BTC to pay down the loans. MtGox does about 2.3 mil of BTC in volume a month, meaning they rake in about 11,000 BTC in commissions alone. If Bitfloor continues to grow, and overall trade volume continues to grow, he may be able to make the 25,000 btc back in two years. Even if it takes 4, personally I would rather take the full amount of appreciating btc over 4 to 8 years, than a much smaller chunk of cash now.
