I would have issue with totally anonymous transaction coins if it weren't for the fact that some good can come from it.  For instance women/children fleeing an abusive home.  Secrecy is very important to those in this circumstance that fear every day for their lives.  You can't argue (morally correct anyhow) that this isn't a good use of it's anonymous feature.

We are never going to and Bitcoin is better off for it.  Satoshi is no fool and knows that.  If they were to show up, they control a huge part of bitcoin, and bitcoin could then somehow be betrayed as a controlled currency by Satoshi themselves.  Nah, I never see them coming forth. 

Lots of theories but I don't think anyone one of them are right.  It still amazes me that this very website I'm using a present was created by the man/woman/alien them-self.  Love it.

No.  If you're new to bitcoin and don't have the necessary skills to know how to properly create a paper-wallet than simply BUY A TREZOR.  Remember if you don't hold the private keys..you don't really own those coins (exchanges/hot-wallets)!  I've tried and tested all the wallets out there and none is better than Trezor.

If Trezor doesn't work for an Alt you want to hold, I'd definitely use a Ledger for those funds (though an inferior product).

No kidding and agreed. I want a B.B. new or used very badly! This is just one cool piece of Krogo’s super encyclopedia though (his website)

A new one to add to the list (sort of), same seller just gold plated his fake 2011 Casascius coin here- https://www.ebay.com/itm/202291230811?ul_noapp=true

I would like to say thank you again to everyone who donated from Ticked, BTS, Crypto_Collection, BTCPenny, to everyone who bid, won, or just participated in one way or another!  All items are packaged up and will be shipped out first thing tomorrow.  A donation has now been made to Haven thanks to everyone!

*1 More Auction To Go- Ticked donated a whole lot of stuff and I simply didn't have time to include it in the previous auction so we decided on having another. So look for that soon!

How is this ANY different than fiat currency at present?  For starters fiat currency has a massive lead over bitcoin when it comes to gambling,DL porn, and buying drugs.  It's not even close.  Secondly if it's legal than this is a morality issue for you bud, not a technical one.  Bitcoin isn't anonymous and is not to blame for your views of what's an unhealthy part of society or what isn't.

We don't "need" to gamble, but for those of use whom are responsible gamblers.."why not" tends to be the answer.  Now maybe gambling isn't your thing and that's fine! However if you're an intelligent, do your homework and gamble within your means..it can certainly pay off at times.

Hacking of people's fiat currency happens every second of every day all around the world.  No difference.  If done correctly many hot-wallet's make for great short term storage, and for long term storage Trezor's and paper-wallets safely protect your coins.  I'm guessing "our developers" means you've got an Alt currency better than BTC right?

I’d have to say you’d throw Mt Gox in here somewhere: Edit- I see it’s at #1. Nice article!

I’ve shared this article a 1000 times and will probably a 1000 times more- this is a very easy read that a very knowledgeable buddy wrote that simplifies how the LN works (as well as point out why it makes sense). Let’s also not forget the LN is just being implemented and no major wallets have even installed it as far as I know ..there’s plenty of positive ahead

I received mine. Did you reach out via their website? http://bitelevation.com/

Bitcoin transactions are very cheap again and transaction times are improving. I used LTC for a little while but now there’s no need. I guess people use Monero for its anonymous features.

This guy was trying to be very shady about whether it was pure silver or not, listing it as if it was in multiple places and only listing it as "plated" in one spot.  He also said that each one of these coins had a mintage of 25.  Between purchases of members here I know of, and what he's still got left on this website and other sites..it's a complete lie.  When I confronted seller about whether it was pure silver or not, and on mintage..he stopped responding to emails (nor did he respond to my charge back..letting me simply keep the coins).  I noticed how he changed his website details for several weeks, adding and removing mintage numbers, how many coins were left as well as moving the ".999 silver" in different spot on his page, NOT making it more clear I mind you. Other sites listing his coins prove the mintage was a lie. His other coins that were supposedly sold out are listed on sites like this one- https://cryptocoinsstore.com/products/the-investor-silver-bitcoin
and here as well- https://bitcointeeshirtstore.com/products/limited-edition-2017-gold-bitcoin

I even gave the coinmaker some advice when he asked what I’d like to see going forward, as he had planned on making more coins. Even more of a reason to give others a heads up.

What about the Etsy scammer? Unless we are just keeping it to those whom have sold directly on here? 

Great to see this come to life! So very cool! IOTA got its butt whooped though
