Aaaand he's gone. He'll probably just create another account and try again.
@OP: If you want a loan - please offer actual collateral. A steam account that you can reclaim at any time does not constitute as collateral not to mention that I'd doubt it would be worth anywhere close to what your wanting to borrow. Otherwise you'll keep getting denied.

I would suggest you limit yourself to a bankroll and divide that into one hundred units. Before you start though, make sure you've watched a lot of the sport and know the current form and skills of each player (ie for tennis you'd know that Nadal would be better on clay than on grass). Then I would advise you try and estimate a line and compare it to the actual line. If there is a large deviation in your favour I would bet on it (more units for a bet your more confident on). As time passes you'll get better at estimating lines and hopefully get an edge over the bookie.

so it's more like a middle man.
that's cool.
can any1 be an Escrow? (I dont want to be/) just asking how hard it is to be 1?
In effect, yes - it's simply a person agreed upon to hold something of value to ensure that the trade goes through as agreed and possibly provide arbitration in the case that the trade falls through. Technically, yes as long as both parties agree - however generally the escrow's who actually get customers are those who have a long time reputation on this forum and have handled reasonably large sums (at any given point in time). |

or is it just pure supply and demand?
Aside from cases where the are price floors and ceilings instated by governments, most market prices are controlled under supply and demand. Bitcoin in particular is highly affected by demand (supply is relatively constant over the short term) and much of that demand comes from speculation that prices will be higher in the future. |

I mean, most of the well paying sig campaigns restrict their offers to members and upwards. Wouldn't a new campaign that would make it possible for newbies and jr.members for a lot less btc/post be profitable for them?
I'm not sure if you remember but way back (like 6+ months ago) all member types (IIRC) were allowed the same settings for a signature so campaigns did not discriminate against what type of user you were. The whole point of the introduction of differing tiers was so that to be able to earn anything they would have to reach Member status and if they spammed they'd have to start all over again - thus disincentivising spamming as it would take a while to reach there again. Not to mention, that I don't think Newbies are allowed links and Jrs signatures are tiny and somewhat hard to see (which is the point). |

anyone willing to give me a loan without collateral.
 Need I say more? |

It should be confirmed eventually. If not you should be able to use those inputs in a later transaction once the nodes and miners forget this transaction.
If you want your transaction to be processed quickly you must send at least the minimum fee which is 0.0001 per kB, any less doesn't cut it - it's pretty much the same as having a no fee transaction. Very rarely will you be able to send without a fee and get away with quick confirmations. Just follow what your client sets and don't mess around with fees and you should be right.

Right now I do not feel like rescanning the entire blockchain. Do you guys think it is safe if I import the wallet.dat file to my wallet on blockchain.info? and how do I import the wallet.dat file into blockchain.info. Honestly I do not see the option? From there I would like to transfer it to my electrum wallet. I am just wondering if I trust an online service with a reasonable sum of bitcoins. Feedback appreciated  Best, Clochard So far Blockchain has been fine (although its inadvisable for long term storage) so if you were worried, you should be fine for a quick import and subsequent transaction. Just make sure that you triple check the address you're sending your coins to is the one in your Electrum wallet - it's happened to countless people in the past. Alternatively if you don't trust Blockchain, then you could follow the route I specified in my earlier post with pywallet. Just remember to decrypt the wallet as part of the command (specified below - don't recall if it was in the README). If you need anymore help, I should be around tomorrow - meanwhile I'll leave in you in Danny's more than capable hands. |

Clear your browser's cookies and that should fix the problem. I'm pretty sure it isn't something that Blockchain is trying to do - they don't really need to attract Russian users over any other user.

Nope, aside from the fall of some major first-world economy (ie US/China) I doubt we'll see any notable impact for BTC. I'm doubtful there are many Ukrainians who are using BTC and even then what would the situation do; raise the cost of Bitcoins a little? I suppose if your looking for a rise in BTC any small thing counts so a devaluation of fiat is good in that perspective but I truly doubt it will have any implication on the market whatsoever.

IIRC, you will be asked for your password when you try to do things that have serious ramifications (ie sending a new tx or trying to change your old password). Until then it'll simply watch for any incoming transactions and reflect that in your balance. It's been a while since I've used Qt so if anyone could confirm that would be nice.

Pretty much this right here. 10 cents though would come with a fee that (right now) is 5 cents, or 50%. $10 would still be 5 cents. So really it's still a pretty small fee.
Just out of reference, with the newest implementation fees should drop to 0.5c so it basically means that txs are pretty damn cheap. Off chain is meaning "Web wallet". Right? And that has its own risk.
In a sense it is a web wallet. Anyone who has control over a private key with Bitcoin associated with the public address are in control over those coins as well so unless you have the private key there is also a risk someone will steal those coins. You won't be able to avoid off-chain transactions (pretty common for gambling) but you can minimise the amount you have there (ie don't put everything you on onto JD). |

Pretty sure you shouldn't have any problems if you've done exactly as you've posted. You just need to wait patiently for the client to sync. Your encryption shouldn't give you any problems as long as you remember the password. If your impatient (like I am occasionally) you could download pywallet and have a play around it on an offline comp to see if you can extract the private keys. From there you could import them into a lightweight client (which doesn't need to download the whole chain) to ensure you have your balance. Or you could just wait...

As the managers of the protocol they are 100% responsible for making it impossible to find who stole the money.
With the Nigerians you can always find out who made the deposit. Fake ID no problem, there is CCTV.
If they can't change the protocl to return the money, or to make it transparent, or to stain dirty wallets, then as per the message above, I couldn't care less. I will not accept BTC in return for a fart nor will I give BTC for a diamond. I am not using bitcoin or any other crypto currency from now on for any purpose until this shit is cleaned. I will only mine for fun. Call it protest, boycott, whatever, the current situation is not acceptable, at least to me. Other people who have not bought into BTC are much wiser than me. It's a game, but the rules don't stack up. Yes I learned this the hard way and turning my back with no return until a radical change happens. Good luck to all, enjoy but advice from me go enjoy somewhere else do something useful BTC as it stands is a waste of time.
So in effect you would want them to take control of the network and hence destroy the whole basis of Bitcoin - decentralization. This has been discussed numerous times in the past, without them taking control they will never be able to return you those coins or blacklist the stolen coins and this won't happen because the nodes/miners won't allow it. Seeing as your staunch in your attitude - I'd at least advise you to store the coins you earn from mining safely in some sort of cold storage/paper wallet. You never know one day you might have a change of heart (and BTC prices might be higher) and you'll be happy you did. |

Ok I installed Electrum portable on a USB stick, I have a balance on an address that i made offline with the bitaddress.org webpage and has never been imported anywhere.
Now I want to import the public key for that address as a watch-only but I can't figure out how to do it. I can only see options to import files and private keys.
Hm, Maybe I should post this in technical support.
You don't need to use both Electrum and Bitaddress in conjunction. When you first ran Electrum it will randomly generate a 12 word seed that will be used to generate all the future addresses of your wallet (hence it is a deterministic wallet) - password protect this wallet. Then from there look at the tabs at the top and find the one stating 'Master Public Key'. Copy the text string onto notepad and bring that to your main online computer. From here begin your fresh installation and select "Create a watching-only version of existing wallet", you will then be prompted to enter your "Master Public Key". The trade off with Electrum (at the moment at least) is that you cannot 'watch' imported addresses only ones created via your original seed. Nonetheless, unless your creating vanity addresses it shouldn't matter - an offline Electrum client will create keys just as safe as bitaddress.

To whom it may concern, particularly Luke Jr and Gavin Andresen and the likes:
After btc-arbs down: that concludes my investments in bitcoins and similar crap. I will continue to mine but I will hoard. Just for fun. I will not trade, invest in HYIP, LYIP or NYIP, banks or any other form until you clean this shit.
It is YOUR responsibility to hunt down those scammers and return capital + interest.
How did you manage to come the conclusion that it's Gavin's fault that you lost your coins? All I see is that if you were silly enough to let your greed blind you into 'investing' into this scheme then the only person to blame for this mistake if you. To extend the argument - it's hardly the banks fault if you decide to send all your money to a Nigerian prince offering you a billion percent return per second. Not to mention that aside from rewriting the code and having the acceptance of nodes/miners (which they wouldn't get) you won't be able to change the protocol in a way that would enable them to return you the stolen coins. Best just to take it as a somewhat costly lesson and move on. |

Some kid got pretty close a while back. Only difference between a thermonuclear bomb and a nuclear reactor is the control rods. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn |

i am looking to buy bitcoins with money in my paypal that i forgot was in there?
You're unlikely to find anyone willing to accept PayPal considering that a lot of scammers use to it conduct chargeback scams. The best you could do would be to use the Virwox route by buying Linden dollars and using those Linden dollars to purchase BTC. Please note that the fees involved with this are rather high and that you are limited (at least initially) in the amount you can convert. |

Thank you, it's a fair rule, but what I'm asking is a kind of favor and trust :/
I'm sorry but it's likely no-one will believe you or willing to loan you purely based on trust anymore. It used to be this way in the past but that was abused by scammers so much so that in the end it wasn't worth it. You're not going to get a loan with either collateral or large trust (you'll need to complete many trades without any hitches). If you have any altcoin collateral you might want to post that if you really need the loan - but as you said you might just be better off selling it. |

I can provide you my identity my id with my face..
MY utility bill photo... where i m living residence.. proof
If you want anything more let me know so i can borrow ...
And i will definately pay you back the .5 btc in 1.5 months ..
That's not collateral. Even if you actually gave someone your identity (more probable is you have a stolen/photoshopped ID) it's useless for anyone to go after you in a small claims court if you are even in the same country (not likely). Not to mention nobody can sell your 'ID' for any money so it hardly protects the lender in the likelihood that you default. You will not get a loan here without proper collateral or some good trading history. Since you have neither, don't expect to get anything. |
