I'll keep you in mind for when I have a steady income

It seems the easiest way on OSX is:

I'm using OSX, it's inconvenient, but doable.

Takes a while to rescan, huh? Not done yet, but that's got to be it (EDIT: done, worked perfectly). Thanks for the help.

We can't rely on a piece of technology not being created to keep out coins safe. Imagine if bitcoin hadn't grown at this rate, $500 of ASIC could have done a 51%

By the way, I love how your address has QR in it, and vice versa

I sent bitcoins to one of my addresses earlier. According to blockchain.info, it's got a positive balance and my one transaction with almost 90 confirmations. When I load that wallet in Bitcoin-Qt, it shows a balance of 0.00, fully synced. Under transactions, it shows no transactions. Why is this happening?

EDIT: To clarify, I partially followed this guide: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_savings_wallet

I went offline, generated my new wallet, quit Bitcoin-Qt, encrypted the wallet.dat with a third party AES program, and srm'd the original wallet.dat. I know it's not as secure, but for the small amount of funds I planned to have in it, the extra steps weren't worth it. I unencrypted it and got my wallet.dat file, quit Bitcoin-qt, and loaded the wallet, and now I'm here.

These have a bit cropped off the side so you can see them on the forum, but the originals are 1150x175

Because it doesn't exist, mainly.

EDIT: You mean .org. Hadn't heard of that, looks good.

I've got an idea, but it would require a trusted person to run it:

Three people choose a number 1-3, one number for each. They each send somewhere between .34 and .40 BTC (it would be decided upon ahead of time) to one person running it. Once three people have anted, the person running it would use random.org or a similar true randomness website to choose a number 1-3, and that person would win the bitcoin. Has this been done a lot, or something similar, or am I the first to think of this?

There's one of the same year available for $350, but it's graded. There's also an ungraded one labeled BU for $88, but it doesn't appear to be professionally graded. According to a numismatic forum, one in EF-45 is worth about $15. Many of the ones on eBay are either buy it now, or have no bids. It seems like this one could sell for about $60-70 ungraded, a bit more graded. Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for.

It's unlikely his name is actually Satoshi. It's probably not even a single person.

They've changed their minds, and they're now saying that North and South America are one continent, and Antarctica isn't a continent, but Europe and Asia are somehow still their own, separate continents.

We've got some sound logic here, folks.  

Whoever Nakamoto is (or are), he is more of a deep, complex problem solver, rather than a problem avoider and surviver  

Bitcoin was started when MegaUpload was in full swing, he would never have had the time to envision, design, code, and test it.

(plus he's kind of a media and attention whore, why would he actively avoid credit on such a great project?)

Just looks kind of neat, wallpapers and things like that

I'm reluctant to call it "art", but I do think things like this look good

Lately, I've been experimenting with image corruption (glitching), and I thought you might like it. Post images in this thread (or PM them to me), and I can corrupt it for you. You can also get the script I created here: http://pastebin.com/yLuzCyaN

I think they usually neutralize the caffeine and turn it into some other substance rather than actually removing it. If you really want caffeine, you can buy powder online, or get some NoDoz (which is mostly corn starch and sugar, but contains caffeine). There is a way to extract the caffeine from NoDoz, however: http://www.instructables.com/id/Extracting-almost-pure-Caffeine-from-Caffeine-Pi/

I've always noticed that. It's just a "fruity" flavor created, it tastes nothing like watermelon.

If only politicians could accept that.

But you will be left out of the main "network". If you don't agree with a democratic decision, you can leave and make your own country (in theory)

Yes, it's certainly got a libertarian appeal. Technically, it's more democratic than anything. If 80% of Bitcoin's users want something changed, it will be changed whether the devs or creators like it or not.

None, Bitcoin is both a (minor) threat to credit card companies, and just like with the Wikileaks blockade, they love to stay on the government's good side.
