Not .25 25 btc.
I thought maybe the network needed to just update the blocks.
I don't understand the point of backing up wallets then.. say I backup my wallet everyday, or week or whatever,
but between the last backup and the latest, I have spent some coins... and then my computer blows up
and I install the last backup... I thought the network was supposed to detect my key and automatically bring me back to the proper amount of coins I should have... if it just give me an invalid wallet... isn't this just as bad
as losing all your coins?
I don't get it. This is why I tried this only when I had 0 coins... I figured it might initially show the last coin account from the backup wallet but then update itself through the network to the real amount of coins that specific wallet key is supposed to have? Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
Am I doing something wrong? Note these are not two separately created wallets - I have those.. this is the same wallet, just a backup of a day earlier.
Every transactions is logged in the blockchain. So, everytime you use the bitcoin client it check the private keys in your wallet with the blockchain and find your bitcoins. If you spent that bitcoins then try a -rescan As for regularly backupping it, the problem is that if you use a different address everytime then your wallet will contain more private keys. If your backuped wallet is an OLD one, it may not have the new keys. So, if you lose your wallet and you use the backuped one, it doesn't have the recent keys and you lose the BTC attached to these recent keys. A bad thing |

When you put something online, expect everyone accessing it, especially if you put online your wallet! That's why if you put online something you MUST encrypt it.
So incase dropbox is hacked or there is a bug or whatelse, the hackers just get an encrypted file.

I wasn't complaining about the phone cost. Sure, $80 is a good price. BUT, what the article didn't say was how much they are paying for their service contracts. That is why an $80 phone doesn't cost $80.
If you think that when you buy a phone for $80 you can just use it for free anywhere you want, then perhaps it is you who needs to wake up.
The purchase price of the phone is usually irrelevant to the total cost of ownership. They could just give the dam things away and cover their costs in the service fees like they do here.
Well.. maybe these phones are like Skype VoIP phones that use the free WiFi down at the local Starbucks...
Ahem... when i buy a phone i buy it. No contracts or whatelse if i don't choose it. Sure, if i want i can buy it with a contracts (so i pay it later, or a bit every month or whatelse) but usually i don't. I go in the shop, i buy the phone and that's all. But since you live in america you think america is the world? Sorry but it's not. I live in Europa and here things works as i said. |

A block DO NOT have a limited number of transactions. Sure, miners can choose what and how much transactions insert in each block but so far they include every available transactions.
The current bitcoin client anyway doesn't allow such a flood attack

and their IP addresses are banned from creating new accounts. Incoming epic fail then. Do you know "dynamic IP"? The thing that everytime you connect to the internet you get a NEW ip? Now, how the "ip address ban" can work with this? The only result you achieve is that some unlucky guy eventually use a banned ip and wonder why he cannot register here. While the scammer of course has another ip and create a new account without problems. Ah, americans think everyone has fixed IPs...  |

We then start trading and buying eachother's woodcoins as a hobby, and the "value" within our group starts to get high because the ones that have the most are considering themselves "rich". The difference is that Bitcoin are worth dollars or euro Uh no. They are not. A bitcoin is absolutely worthless unless people *think* it has a certain value and are willing to buy and sell it for that value. Uh the same apply for dollars, euro and other currencies. But you don't open a thread asking why people should use dollars and euro. And bitcoin is not worthless because with it i can BUY things. |

We’ve seen smartphones adopt all kinds of medical technology, from digital stethoscopes to cancer diagnosis, and I’m hopeful that we’ll see similarly stunning med-tech reach even the remotest areas one day. I'm calling bullshit on this one... WTF is an 80 dollar phone? My phone cost me 0$..BUT you have to sign up for a 3 yr contract where you have to give up your first born to pay for it....and that's in CANADA! What kind of contract do these unfortunate soles have to subscribe to to get their $80 phone? This whole article is bullshit without the OP stating the 'total cost of ownership'. Gawd shit like this makes me so mad.... Wake up, the phone really cost only 80$. It's not an high end smartphone, why it should cost more than 80$? |

The difference is that Bitcoin are worth dollars or euro or any other currency while your "woodcoin" would be worth no dollars. And having a lot of dollars or euro make you REALLY rich. |

Since i'm not paypal i dunno, but a lot of people trading BTC with paypal got their account banned
|

Alternative blockchains AREN'T bitcoin! But with bitcoin, that's not true... anyone can create another bitcoin that is EXACTLY the same as the original bitcoin, in every way. No, it won't be BITCOIN. It will be something else. Similar but not the same thing. It's like saying gold become less valuable cause people mine silver, platinum etc etc... no, silver is NOT gold! |

it won't work once your account is banned  |

Reputation or not, trading BTC with paypal is "virtual currency" trading so Paypal will ban your account.

once we finally hit 21million and miners arent cashing out it should be more stable yes?
Do you realize that if miners stop cashing out that means they gain 0 and thus they stop mining? Even at 21 million, miners will profit from fees. Remember, no miners=no safety |

Are all the people that think Amsterdam is a bad location from the US or something?
No, they are trolls from the SA board. I'm from EU and yeah...never heard such crap. Amsterdam is fine, there is nothing wrong with weed or sex, and even if those things were bad it's still a great location, easily reachable from anywhere in Europe and the largest city in the Netherlands...
Seems like some people think the world revolves around America, and everything that their precious government says is correct.
Very few people think that, even from America. Most Americans think our government is crap. The majority of Americans are for the legalization of weed and simply love sex. There is a small (but vocal) minority that do not. I recommend you leave your sheltered pathetic little lives for some time and see the world from outside your little box, you will find that actually the rest of the world thinks the US is a joke and your not the center of the world.
I have traveled all over the world, including Amsterdam. Very few people think the US is a joke, and despite OUR STUPID GOVERNMENT they still want to come here. When in other countries, they complain about very similar things to what we do such as taxes, government waste and corruption, and the price of things. +1 to this entire post. 99% of the negative threads you see in this forum are coming from these sick people http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3413928. If you been there please don't click on the link (they love the attention.) I have already applied to be moderator here, and I swear I will handle it if I get the chance. About 200+ people would be banned overnight, but I swear to god I would clean this place up... Uhm no, you will ban no one. Notice how the only people who have a problem with me banning people are the same people would be the ones catching that ban . Such a joke. Kind of like how the only people who had a problem with Nazis killing people were the people being killed. Hehe, FlipPro, what are you, 12? I have no reason to believe I would "catch a ban", and if I did, it really wouldn't matter much (you do realise this is just a tiny, obscure forum in a tiny, obscure corner of the internet, right?). I have a problem with banning people for what they say or think... just a problem I've had for a very long time now, in general. If you ban someone from expressing themselves, it only reflects badly on the weakness of your own ideas and arguments. If your position was solid, you'd have no need to ban anyone. +1 |

Just keep your damn coins stored offline in a USB. What is so hard about that?
Nice, so if the usb die, you lose everything. An encrypted file is SAFE if you encrypt it in the right way and use a good password. Then you can upload it everywhere, dropbox, email, skydrive or whatelse and then you won't lose it. KeePass encrypted file should be safe if you use a good password, that's the whole point of keepass after all, having an encrypted database. So you should be safe putting it on dropbox, even if someone steal it they won't be able to decrypt it You can save it to 2 different USB'S if you are superstitious about it breaking. Sure good encryption is important, but you are only setting yourself up for failure when you are putting your money in the hands of other people... Just my honest opinion... Good encryption+good password=other people have an useless file |
