I'll have to read this closely. It looks like you are on to something bro!  Thanks. |

I have lost count of the number of times bitcoin has "died". It is usually pronounced dead by someone who just heard about bitcoin and has discovered a fatal flaw we all missed.  |

The problem is the same as other internet crime. You may live in the U.S. but your bitcoins were stolen from Mt.Gox in Japan by some thugs in Ukraine. The thugs transfered them into a wallet running on a server in Saudi Arabia.
Now, if I go to the local police with that story what is going to happen? Will the cop hop on a plane to the Saudi kingdom? Will he call his contacts in Ukraine, or bone-up on Japanese law? Nope. He/she is going to look you in the eye and say "What the hell are you talking about"?
At least for the next few years we are on our own.

This can't be said enough. If "your" bitcoins are under someone elses control you have an IOU for bitcoins, not bitcoins.
+1 So many people don't seem to realize that as soon as you send your bitcoins to an "account" or "wallet" where you don't have exclusive control over the private keys (such as MtGox, BitStamp, BTC-E, CoinBase, inputs.io, BitFloor, Bitcoinica, BS&T, etc) they are no longer your bitcoins. ...
++1 The only bitcoins you own are the ones associated with the private keys you control. Satoshi created for us a trust-less system of money. The moment you trust another entity with your private keys, that all goes away and if those coins are taken there is nothing you can do about it. This is also true for the many investment scams going on here. If someone wants you to invest in their business or claims to have a way to double your money. You will need to do far more due diligence than a normal investment. There is absolutely no protection for you and if you are ripped off, say goodbye to your money. The police, the courts, nobody is going to help you; or even understand you. |

Classic bitcointalk. Bold accusation followed by zero supporting evidence.  |

If there was a way to recover your password then encryption would not have been implemented. The good news is that you probably kinda know your password. as mentioned above, try caps, try o instead of 0 or I rather than l. Keep trying, it's all you can do.  |

Hi Paul. What people here are telling you is that mining bitcoin is likely not an option for you. You will need to buy very expensive specially built mining hardware to get in that game. You could try mining a different coin then selling it for bitcoin, but that has a steep learning curve and may not be profitable. I would highly recommend just buying a small amount of bitcoin to play with. If you want to drop $20,000 on some mining equipment, here is something that might help. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparisoncheers |

I don't understand how you guys are loosing money? Your not trying to "invest" in bitcoin are you? Bitcoin is not designed to be an investment vehicle. It is a currency. You buy it then spend it online when you see something you want. IMO, investing in bitcoin should be considered very risky.

If they are following KYC regulations then they should know who passed the bad bill. Don't the B-ATMs use hand-print readers or something?

don't store BTC in virtual wallet.
always retrieve in bitcoin-QT or android wallet for example ...
That's what I do. Haven't lost a Satoshi yet. |

Well I have set up my preferences to ignore the boards I do not want to see. It works great. No more alts or foreign languages to sort through. Much cleaner forum now!

I would need the deed to your paid off home. This assumes a valuation in excess of $100K.

I thought that there should have been more rebuttal time allowed. Also, there was some scientific evidence that Ken Ham did not bring up. For instance, since Bill Nye is on a board for Mount St. Helens, I would have liked to see Ken Ham discuss how after the eruption in 3 days a canyon was carved there that is 1/10th of the size of the Grand Canyon. This brings some observational and experiental evidence to the fact that the Grand Canyon may have been formed in much less time than the billions of years that their historical science leads them to believe.
And for the age of the stars there is a fantastic book called "Starlight and Time" written by an astrophysicist named Dr. Russel Humphrey that shows mathematical reasons as to how if the earth is in the position of an "event horizon" we will see the planets as being so far but experience what is only 6 days to us. Most of the book is over my head, but there is science out there that supports a young earth that should not be ignored, but unfortunately it is.
I would not say it is ignored. These things have been looked at and explained. For example the canyon at Mt. St. Hellens was cut through ash. That is very different than cutting through basalt and granite. |

Just to be clear. When you buy hi and sell low, it is not bitcoin that has failed.

Thank you for the warning. But I put in a reasonable amount and made a fortune. So...

Although 99.9% of alt coins are stupid or outright scams, I think they should have a place. Alt coins can be a hedge against any entity that thinks it could crush bitcoin. Any serious attempt to do so would just result in the ascendancy of another coin. My problem is that it has become almost impossible to sort through the dozens of script-kitty announcements that junk up the forums. There has to be a way to do both. Could we: - Allow blocking of some areas? kinda like an ignore list for forum sections.
- Keep posts in the alt section from showing in the recent posts list?
- Set up another related/linked domain for alts? altcointalk.org is available.
- Other?
1 and 2 are already possible in your profile settings. There is a Ignore Board Option. How can you not know this? Really? I did not know this.  Also, @surfer43. 99.9% IS way to high. I don't know what percent of alts are serious attempts to create a viable coin. I shouldn't have used numbers. |

If exchanges were fungible then this would be weird. But they have different users, risks, fees, etc.
