You could look into buying a Trezor. Very secure wallets but they're a little pricey. ($120 IIRC)
OR buy BTChip. Its like trezor but the hardware protection is low and there is no screen but still it is very good and cheap. ~~MZ~~

what are the extra features?
Reload and look the pic again. ~~MZ~~ All I see is some weird toolbar at the bottom. Which is most likely what he is talking about when he says: "extra features" Yes, that's what I meant. But I ain't going back there. It seems like some fetching site. I used Incognito mode, so I can't make sure it is a fetching site. If you want to know, just click it and look whether it is asking for password. Edit: One should go there, so I went there. It is a fetching site. It is asking me to login once more. Edit 2: It isn't a fetching site, I think. It is something like an internal browser. Edit 3: It is a dynamic network. I think the user who posted can't access BT without dynamic network(did China block BT? ) . It can be used by download Freegate software from the site or through the website. The site and software is mainly for Chinese. I think there is nothing suspicious. ~~MZ~~

I just started learning about mining so what does GH/S mean? Like someomne on ebay is selling a bitmain Antminer U2 (Set of 10) Bitcoin Miner + 10 port USB Hub and says it has an operating range of 1.6 to 2.2 GH/s. They are also overclockable to 2.3 to 2.4 GH/s, but not recommended. How many bitcoins is that?
h/s refers to hashes per second and a Gigahash/second refers to 10 6 Hashes per second. Similar to GHz it gives you an indication how fast the hardware is. This can not be directly converted to bitcoin. Look here : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/11472/what-is-a-megahash-and-how-is-it-used-to-estimate-the-rate-at-which-bitcoins-areWhat hardware would you recomend for me?
I dont know. Why would you want hardware in the first place? What makes you think that you need this ancient hardware? Just the hardware alone is overpriced. They cost 0.51 and >1$ per Gh. You can get that cheaper from cloudmining services.
2x agreed. ~~MZ~~

Try to read the stickies in this forum and also don't invest in new bitcoin alternatives as they may be pump and dump coin which will make you lose.

Faucets are places where you go to waste your time.
Your money and your health too. ~~MZ~~

You will get your BTC to your wallet when slush's pool mine a block. Try check that the address in slush's pool profile is yours. ~~MZ~~

Use Electrum. Install one in an offline computer and then write down the Master Public key and then install Electrum in an online computer and choose watch-only mode and enter the Master Public Key. If you want to send BTC, create a raw transaction and then use a qrcode generator and copy-paste the raw tx in it and generate a qr code and scan it with your mobile and copy-paste it and create a document. Now connect your mobile and copy-paste the raw tx to electrum and sign it. Then, copy-paste the signed raw tx to the document. Now you can copy-paste the raw tx and push it through online services like Blockchain.info, Eligius, webbtc.com or Btc.Blockr.io .

Want to set up two miners one butterfly and one Gridseed on ghash pool dont know how need some one to do it by teleview remote I am willing to pay what you want in BTC if reasonable.
I can do it for free. If you want me to do i, just install teamviewer[1]. Try this first, connect the miners to computer and then install GUIMiner and then add the pool info, worker and password. Then run it. Check whether it works. Telling more details about your miners would be helpful. [1] http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/windows.aspx . ~~MZ~~

Just copy-paste the private key in a file and save it as anyname.key . ~~MZ~~

Thanks but it cant be sync with blockchain account ??
You can install desktop client if you are running Mac [1] or you can install plugin in chrome or mozilla [2]. Or you can use RPC [3]. See the comparison : Ways to access Blockchain.info wallet. [1] https://blockchain.info/wallet/desktop-client[2] https://blockchain.info/wallet/browser-extension[3] https://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api , https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=844419.0If you prefer using bitcoind, then open notepad, copy and paste the following and add correct details: rpcconnect=rpc.blockchain.info rpcport=443 rpcssl rpcuser=your wallet identifier rpcpassword=your password.
And, click Save as and change Save as type to All Files and then save the files as bitcoin.conf in the data directory - %Appdata%/Bitcoin in windows, ~/.bitcoin/ in Linux and ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ in Mac ( Detailed guide on opening data directory : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory ). Then go to Bitcoin data directory, right click on bitcoin.conf (the one you saved) and change the permission to read-only file. Then open command prompt, navigate to the daemon in installed directory(default in windows in C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon) . Then write . I hope it will work. If you are using the above method, the private key will be synced with the server when signing messages and sending BTC. So it isn't a good idea. P.S. If you meant anything else, just avoid this post. ~~MZ~~

do people still use faucets? Mostly newbies with time to spare and if they want to have their first bitcoin experience with transactions and setting up a wallet. Use freebitco.in or moonbitco.in Use bitonplay.com and also faucet.bitcoinzebra.com . To win most times in bitonplay.com, please PM me. I will tell you. If I post here, they might fix it. ~~MZ~~

this miner pays 1 cents (~1300 satoshi) everyday.
I guess it's not worth to try...
probably you're going to be forced to buy hash power to withdraw...
Nope its free. And free to withdraw also. Go and enjoy. Will try it out too, will keep everyone updated regarding the terms and conditions. If you have got enough BTC, then Buy 1 Zenhashlet or 2 Multihashlet to get god profit. ~~MZ~~

I will give it a shot aswell. Would you happen to know if these 10 GH/s can be traded?
No, it is locked. You can only mine with it. Choose GuildHash as pool - drag and drop, it is more profitable. ~~MZ~~

what do you mean by fully synced? How do you know if it is synced?
Click Tools > Network. You can see no. of block synced. If it is up to date, i.e., synced till the latest block, you can send BTC. But I don't know whether it is applicable to Trezor. ~~MZ~~

when will it pay out? i've got the GHS and attached it to a pool but i don't have any Bitcoins yet. how long does it take for the pool to pay the rewards?
It will update every 24 hrs. If you want to withdraw balance, click balance and then click - sign at the top. Click rates to know the amount you get. ~~MZ~~

I have followed this tutorial to install Electrum 2.0 beta with Trezor functionality: http://blog.perlover.com/2014/10/20/electrum-2-0-trezor-compiling-driver-usb-ubuntu/Everything goes fine, I am able to recreate my wallet with the passphrase and the correct transactions appear in the electrum interface. But when tryiing to send a transaction in the Send tab, nothing happens when clicking the send button although I have correctly input the address and amount. Any ideas why this can be happening? Thanks I haven't used it. But I think it needs to be fully synced before sending, correct me if I am wrong. If yes, is the syncing process finished? ~~MZ~~
