Holla amigo.

The question is how many of these mining rigs do you own....



We are at a stage that requires an investment to get into mining.

Why are so many people staring at a boiling pot and saying "look a bubble!! and there another one, surely this will be the final one!"

There were, are, and will be bubbles. This is not a stock that bubbles once and pops for good.
6164  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: My buddy is getting a divorce. Can the court seize half of his bitcoins? on: December 04, 2013, 05:24:05 PM
Does he have a signed prenuptial agreement? Did he have them before the marriage? If not, I think half of what he is calling "his" coins are his wife's.
6165  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cold storage doesn't solve all your problems on: December 04, 2013, 04:33:57 PM
Create a new wallet and address. Take the wallet offline and put it in your safe deposit box. Now advertise the public address and begin receiving funds.
How is anyone going to steal your coins now? It would take a bank robber, not a blackhat hacker. Cold storage is safe.

If you do find a place that does not require identity, be very cautious.

Bad idea. Just buy a little each week, like a retirement account.

who the hell are you mr trollface? Go spam on btc-e faggot
You just want to buy lower. Kinda sad.

Damn dude.  Why so hostile?
Yeah man. He is just speculating. We all like guessing what the price will be, even though no of us knows.

Hi and welcome fellow bitcoin peer; and fellow science geek.  Smiley

You mention mining for fun. I hope it is fun for you because mining has become a "go big or go home" game. Still could be interesting and informative.
Cheers

Displaying that address in public could lead to people sending money to it. That's not so bad.  Grin
It is your private keys that allow spending. Your good.
6171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mike Hearn, Foundation's Law & Policy Chair, is pushing blacklists right now on: December 03, 2013, 09:26:48 PM
Why would anyone in their right mind who isn't interested in seeing someone or some group have the ability to essentially steal whatever BTC they want from anyone they want want to see a tool created that would allow exactly that to happen?

Mike Hearn is either a very devious prick or attempting to win the most useful idiot award for helping TPTB attempt to control and/or kill BTC. I really don't care which of the two is true, either way the very fact that he's suggesting ideas such as this clearly prove he can not be trusted.
... Questions such as this are worth raising even of only to dismiss them, as the process develops the reasons for the decision making.  Its a useful process in open source.  No need to tar him for raising the question.
...
Amen. What is with everyone jumping on Mike for thinking aloud? Why aren't you haters in this thread writing your representatives in Washington, or do you think you are getting more done lambasting a programmer in Switzerland?
I do not support listing coins either, but I think it is worth talking about why some support it and how it could be implemented. Chillax y'all.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that discussing the idea that there ought to be some centralized tool by which an outside party could control the BTC holdings of individuals and the value of the BTC market were frowned upon by this community. I must be mistaken. Please, do go on and tell me why the guy who has publicly said that it'd be an OK idea to negate the value of any BTC I may have some day, simply because 'they', those in control of that tool, claim that that BTC has been somewhere they didn't like is worthy of my praise and respect. Because I'm SURE that such a tool could and would NEVER be used in a manner that would benefit those controlling it, right? Fire away, I'm all ears.

Anyone can create lists or color codes for coins. It is not a change to bitcoin rather a technique to track coins. It is already being done and just because you and I don't like it doesn't mean it wont expand in the future.
The countermeasure is not to attack someone for pointing it out, or even for promoting it. Instead focus on your elected officials who could institute a list system tomorrow that outlaws some coins. Only they can pass laws, Mike cannot.
I doubt your congressman has an account here. You will need to send him/her an email explaining why this is a bad idea. I already think it is.

6173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much do scammers and criminals harm bitcoin? on: December 03, 2013, 09:08:59 PM
I think it is a destructive force. People grow upwith paper money and know how to keep it safe. Bitcoin is different. You have to know something about computers and the internet to safely use it. It seems like every day someone comes here with a tragic story of having lost $10k worth of coins that they were protecting with their FaceBook password.
A person who was ripped of like that may turn away from learning more and adopting bitcoin.

Alex Jones is also bat shit crazy. So, why is this a surprise?
6175  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you really believe in bitcoin as a currency? on: December 03, 2013, 08:56:52 PM
I have been told by experts that bitcoin is not money because...
Bitcoin is a ponzi, money laundering, a bubble, drug money, etc.
It's not backed by anything!
It can't be money because only a government can make money!
Bitcoins can't have value because they are just numbers!
Bitcoin can't work because they now cost to much!
On and on...

Luckily, I don't listen to people who call themselves experts.  A financial expert who just discovered bitcoin is as useful as a 19th century fisherman who has just been handed a sonar fish finder.

6177  Economy / Economics / Re: My brother suggest me to cash 50% out before the banksters ban crypto coins on: December 03, 2013, 06:40:33 PM
It's not terrible advice to lock in some profits by diversification. However I seriously doubt it will be banned by your government or that it would make a difference if it was. I am also skeptical about his opinion that bitcoin is somehow tax free.
6178  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoins = tulips on: December 03, 2013, 03:50:58 PM
Except tulips made an awful store of wealth/currency. They are not fungible they are perishable. Tulip mania was doomed from the start.

6180  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Purchasing coins via Moneybookers/PayPal/Credit Card on: December 02, 2013, 06:55:37 PM
That's maybe the major drawback of bitcoin - no easy way in. And i'm talking about regular people, not miners, brokers/speculators etc. The ones that actually spend money (usually via PP and/or CC) to BUY things (not just cryptocurrencies), the ones that eventually can replace PP and other existing payment methods with bitcoin.
And they don't want to wire funds to some shaddy exchange, wait for 7-30 days just to buy coins.
Neither they want to meet with someone in person to exchange money for coins (or vice versa)
I find it no harder than managing and moving dollars electronically. You mentioned PayPal, well it's basically the same process to fund your PayPal account. Get verified, send money, wait for your account to be funded. It's getting through the morass of legal requirements on dollars that is the problem. Once you have bitcoin you are free.
