Hi,
I know wallet.dat is the key thing I need to not lose or have copied.
If you are concerned about protecting from loss, the wallet.dat is all that is needed to have the ability to spend the funds. If you use wallet encryption, all that is encrypted are the private keys held in the wallet. Addresses and transactions are not kept private in that file even with "passphrase protected wallet encryption". Now if you are concerned about privacy, there is leakage of address and transaction data in the log files. This is because BDB (database storage) writes this in case it is needed for automated database recovery should the app crash or proper shutdown not occur. So if you don't want traces of your activity to exist on your system, you might want to use a TrueCrypt volume or an encrypted filesystem. - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/3142/153 - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2140 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63488.msg743339#msg743339 |

Hello, I'm pretty new to this whole BitCoin concept and it seems pretty sweet  I'm looking for a portable version of the Bitcoin-Qt client that I could store on my USB drive and be able to run on all platforms (win, linux, mac). Any suggestions? For an everyday wallet, consider the hybrid EWallet - BlockChain.info/wallet, accessible from your browser (yet their server only has an encrypted copy of the private keys) - http://Blockchain.info/wallet |

Is there open source software available for a basic bitcoin exchange?
Intersango (an old version) is open source: - https://gitorious.org/intersango/intersangoIt was used for a now-defunct exhange in Australia. I believe what Intersango the exchange runs today is not open source. Open Transactions may be a tool to look into. |

Time for my embarrassing question of the day. Micro-transactions are frowned upon, for example satoshidice, and this one: Buying a GPU today is another thing being frowned upon (as there is the upcoming block reward adjustment). That reason this "frowning" on that is occurring, in that instance, is because come the end of November there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth as GPU miners realize the gig is over. By frowning now (90 days before many GPUs will be getting powered off and liquidated) those who proceeded regardless can't say nobody warned them. So with microtransactions there is the same thing. If you want to do microtransactions today? Go nuts, blocks are filling with just 20% or so of capacity so there's room. But if you want to build a service that relies on microtransactions? Bad idea -- unless you only want to run it for the short term, like a matter of months before higher fees become mandatory .... And then what you end up is this: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101146.msg1109201#msg1109201where because fees for micropayments are rising (as the BTC/USD rises, a fixed minimum fee of 0.0005 BTC costs more now in terms of fiat than it did a few months ago) so then you get complaints that the fees are making BTC too costly (and "unfair") to be used for microtransations. And the correct response to that is no .... don't use bitcoins for microtransactions and you won't be stuck with this dilemma where the fees have become too costly for microtransactions to continue. |

How can I move forward and support my system if the close down my thread. Just to followup, he closed it accidentally himself apparently. |

that's with 800-900 connections
if you don't allow incoming connections, you'll only have 8 (I think)
Heh ..., ya, that''s messing with the numbers. you'll have under 100MB per day (combined up and down) with the small number of connections. |

but in the next while, I will be setting up a couple more.
I'm suspecting that in about 90 days there's going to be an awful lot of whining around here. |

Any other suggestions?
The very first transaction. Satoshi to Hal Finney: - 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 I tried to find the transaction for Laszlo's 10K Pizza but I didn't see one and no blockchain transfers more than a couple thousand around those days: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0 |

Just came in with the highest number of forum page views (daily) since March (when the Linode hacking was the big story). Just under half a million views in 24 hours. (And about 99.5% percent of them pirate related ...) - http://www.bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=statsThe amount of transactions on the blockchain continued over 10 million again for the second day in a row (never had exceeded 10 million in a single day before this week): - http://blockchain.info/charts/output-volume?timespan=allBut since BitcoinDays Destroyed didn't really spike much, the coins moving are pretty much just the same ones tumbling around. |

(As a side effect: by enhancing the ability of a participant to keep his/her economic activity completely outside of the established financial system, How a USD account can earn interest (thus participate in global investment) and not be subject to FATCA is a whole category of business I know nothing about. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Account_Tax_Compliance_ActOr are you suggesting this would only be offered to those in jurisdictions without such restrictions? Perhaps more desired to some Bitcoiners is a bundle of paper stored here: - http://dassafe.com/index.html |
