Shouldn't you be ignoring me?
I definitely should, but your post title caught my attention because it shows the lack of knowledge you have. Either way, your ignore isn't going to come off again since your posting quality has somehow declined.

I want the greatest reward with the least amount of risk.

A cold wallet. There's no risk of someone running off with your coins. If Bitcoin is still around in two years, it will be massively successful and you will have only risked what you have in it now and will realize a huge gain in the future. If it's not around, we're all hosed anyway but you may have already lost the coins to sureinvestmentbtc.com or some similar outfit.
While that has the lowest risk, it does not give the greatest return.

good thing i sold
Great thing you sold them, because Ripple Devs just fairly "giveaway" 50 billion ripples to themselves to buy a mansion and devaluing / inflating XRP. Oh, and develop "open source" software.
6386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple Scam: Centralized, Centrally Issued, Bribes exchanges, Closed Source on: March 01, 2013, 01:58:01 AM
By requiring ripple accounts to have at least 200 XRP for it to be functioning, OpenCoin Inc (who I feel is hardly open) is creating an artificial demand for the premined XRP (Ripples). This is akin to tax required in the nation's fiat currency to artificially create use cases for that currency.

Actual quote from Ripple employee:

Quote
we want to keep the servers under [..] more central control

Ripple is a trust based currency, and it will collapse. Your 5 "BTC" and 444 "USD" will vanish into thin air, and all you have left over will be the premined XRPs.

"Ripple: Open Source Scam Payments".

0. "Trust" (confidence, fiat style) instead of decentralized & provable. Saw that you have 1 BTC on Ripple? You don't. You are TRUSTING that someone has 1 BTC 'for you'. Compare this to a true cryptocurrency - you have 1 bitcoin, you can sign the private keys to spend it. Not someone else who is bribed by Ripple (see #4).

1. Not open source. You can't get the server source code, make changes to it or create your own fork.

2. 100% of the XRPs (which can be traded with btc, usd, etc) are premined, and goes to the founders and OpenCoin Inc.

3. Centralized as only OpenCoin Inc developers can contribute to the code and make whatever changes to the network as they desire.

4. Bribes exchanges with XRPs (NovaScam style), exclusive benefits, so they accept Ripple and otherwise won't have.

5. Distributes small coins to people to encourage usage of them. They plan to only distribute half of it, and keep half it it themselves to dump & bribe people (see #4)

The idea behind Ripple is certainly interesting and novel, but with the current business decisions Ripple is a centralized, centrally issued and non open source scam currency.

This is not a scam in the strictest sense of the word, but rather deceptive business practices that are attempted to be kept secret.

I have not received any payments to 1GrrVSCpHDXSyMkW64Z6wH7bSgkDifVXpM. Any ideas?

Thanks
Did you get the test payment?

You should use Vanity Wallet Key Pair.. otherwise it would be a very bad idea to buy your addresses because you can just spend coins sent there.
6391  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The BEST way to invest my coins? on: February 28, 2013, 11:28:32 PM
well some might say just keeping btcs is already an investment ^^

but maybe you could invest in a bitcoin gambling website (as a partner/investor/..)
also there might be some projects in the "services discussion" sub forum of the marketplace looking for partners
True, just holding onto them works. But I like to have my money work for me. It'd be awesome if there was a legitimate Bitcoin Bank (privately operated, of course) that gave out loans and paid interest on account balances. Unfortunately due to the nature of BTC I don't think that will ever happen.
That should happen, but currently it doesn't exist yet. You can always invest into BTCINVEST which is managed by me, and now is returning about 20%+ yearly in dividends.

PayPal looks at the logs and determines if they feel that the payment was unauthorized. You're the dumb ass here, not D&T.

You don't have a dedicated bitcoind server with a quite few gigs of space?

Of course.  My point is that if the wallet.dat hits even a GB life is really going to suck when I'm trying to keep backups every X minutes and queries to the wallet db take forever.

The wallet is just a BerkleyDB file and unlike most other databases, there's no caching layer on it and as far as I can tell, no safe way to clean out old junk in a bitcoin wallet.

I'll keep looking into it, but it's clear to me that with the stock bitcoind it isn't going to be prudent to roll out fresh addresses per transaction.

Cheers.

Yeah, it's not really a good idea to have a massive wallet.dat file. You can always use a coin mixer if you want that much privacy.

Quote from: NastyFans Policy page
for a poll choice to result in a action there must be at least a three-fourths majority for that poll choice (seats owned by a membership in suspension have no voting rights and are not counted)

ok so ... even though I voted 50% I'd be happy with any non-zero amount of re-investment... Basically, we're not gonna have a stalemate here because it's not technically a policy-changing poll?

... like gonna re-issue a poll so we can enact the policy once the most popular "percentage to reinvest" is determined or what?

This is just an opinion poll. I imagine it will lead us to determine what amount would be appropriate for a policy change poll to create a savings account for future NASTY MINING purchases. I will have to discuss with nonnakip how the savings will be handled and who will be responsible for safeguarding it.

No but if you are interested in buying we have 69 shares. PM with price.

Cool! Blockchain.info isn't a shared wallet through, it's more akin to a connected/web version of Bitcoin-qt.
