Maybe some kind of strategy to lure out the weak hands and make some profit. Dunno but that's what I first perceived in this thread.

Create new wallet in multibit, copy address from receive tab and send to it from bitbargain or whatever site u are using. Then wait for your coins in your wallet. Simple as that.
Make sure your computer is clean from malware and viruses.

I have tried this. See the image showing that I am logged in and the balance is $0.00, plus see that I have clicked "Request" but still don't have a receiver address. Multi-bit is terrible software, it's lost my money and is overly complicated to use. I am now using https://www.coinbase.com and it works much better. But, I still want my money from Multi-bit wallet, even though it's not much, it's the principle.

Hello Dogecoin Community,

we worked over 4 weeks on a new dice website for Dogecoin.
You can play and invest and earn some dogecoin. Hope you like the website.

yeah, sorry, it has not been announced officially yet, but since the 3millionth bet there is a prize for hitting the x millionth bet on site of 0.01btc.

I only announced it at the trollbox so far.

only rule = no 0 bets allowed. if the x millionth bet is a 0 bet than the next non 0 bet will get the prize.

it is planned to make the site automatically tip the player the prize after he hit it, but that's not on top of the to-do list right now, so I'll tip by hand for the time being.

Several crypto gaming sites now accept more bets (by value) in Darkcoin than in BTC due to the very fast confirmation time.  Directbet for one.

I dont really see this being a big addition.

Why would game companies go out of their way to implement a BTC system when they have a CC and Paypal system in place.

Seems like alot of work for a currency that you have to jump through hoops to buy.

I think the next big step for BTC is making it more ease of use to get BTC and manage your BTC.

IT would be cool to see BTC integrated into more outlets but I dont see Activision spending the money to implement it when they have a fiat system in place.

If they accept BTC now they have to cash it out ect, when they could just accept cash in the first place.

Depends, if they see BTC as a Commodity not money they basically gave the hacker a pizza as reward.

Not money.

Why would this not be legal? There is nothing in the law that says governments are not able to pay bounties for services.

The reason why they paid the bounty was because doing so was going to be cheaper then possibly being able to recover the encrypted data

Bitcoin, the six-year-old fledgling cryptocurrency with an image problem, will be getting a makeover.  Unless you’re familiar with social-media stars like Julia Kelly, Jorden Keith, and Acacia Brinley, though, it’s going to be an ad campaign unlike any you’re used to.

A consortium of bitcoin insiders, including the Bitcoin Foundation, BitFury, BitGo and Tally Capital, hired avante garde ad agency TheAudience to rebuild the currency’s reputation among the general public. The goal is pretty standard: highlight bitcoin’s positive aspects – its potential to help the “unbanked,” for instance – and get people to forget about Mt. Gox and Silk Road.

“We need to highlight the opportunity of bitcoin, we need to educate people on what it is,” said Oliver Luckett, the firm’s CEO, sounding as passionate about it as any bitcoin evangelist. What’s different is how the firm will go about achieving that goal.

The department felt it had no option but to pay up. Records show the department paid $606 in a money order, which included bank fees and surcharges, to a New York Bitcoin cafe.

LOL It's a scam account, 1 post 1 activity dude!  It's not for real.

He wouldn't have kept just 15 BTC if he had bought in 2009, they were worth pennies literally.  He'd have a larger stash than 15 BTC easily, because even liquidating the majority of hoard, he'd buy back in with his profit and still be in the hundreds of BTCs if not thousands easily.

Just do the math everyone.  If he had bought in 2009, say at $0.10 a Bitcoin, say with $100 worth of fiat, he'd have 1000 BTC.  So say he sold at the high at roughly $1200, say 75% of his stash.  He'd have sold off nearly a $1mill worth of Bitcoin, still leaving him with 250 BTC worth $60k as of right now.

Just don't fall for it noobs...

I'm one of the few that actually bought bitcoins on 2009 and made a 1000% profit.

I agree Amazon should accept Bitcoin, but to piggyback off your comment, I'd propose an even bigger company.....



Alibaba accepting Bitcoin would cause a tear in the time space continuum...c'mon Jack Ma you can do it!

They can use a surrogate for delivery the baby.

It is a valid point, because said child is not a child because it does not exist

if such child is born anyway, would you be able to point a finger at it and say "it should've never been born"?

plus there are more than enough people on the planet, adoption of an already existing young human being would be the correct thing to do, it is very selfish and primitive thing to do if one's motivation is to pass their own genes.

If you don't exist you don't exist, one is not sorrow for not existing...

Stating the obvious is obvious but damn, this woman is gonna be in her late 70s before this kid grows up and gets out of high school - and that's assuming everything goes as planned. I have to believe the kid is going to be teased when his peers either find out about the dynamics here (grandmother had her daughter's kid  ) or that his so-called parents are already in their 70s when everyone else's parents are in their 30s or 40s max. Even if you go the surrogate route, most of my sentiments still apply unless the surrogate plays the roll of mother for real and not pretending that the grandparents are the parents. It'a best if this couple just retires and starts a foundation in memory of their daughter or something.
