I would pay nothing because I'd just use a usb drive if I wanted to store bitcoins offline
Here we have an example of someone who understood exactly NOTHING about the thread

703  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2013-8-27 2TH ASIC miner... on: September 01, 2013, 12:17:58 PM
A 100 million? That's practically guaranteed to happen in two months or less. At the crazy rate these miners are coming out we're going to be seeing 500 million by the end of the year.

Did you see the bitmine video? Crazy!

I've been busy so I must've missed that one. Funny how difficulty in the single-digit millions seems so 'quaint' now.

Yet we still see questions from people new to bitcoin about "what if we get a 51% attack?", even at these hashrates. Silly newbies...
Are you joking or what? A 51% attack is very feasible today. It just takes some millions of dollars of ASICs. Ah, silly newbies...

1)It is normal that downloading the whole blockchain is slow
2)It is normal that starting bitcoin-qt takes time, it verify the latest blocks

You should not use bitcoin-qt, you said you just want an offline wallet, you should use something like Multibit.
Bitcoin-QT is a full node client, it is for people who want to have the whole blockchain and help relay blocks, wich of course means keeping the client on as much time as possible. It is not meant to be used just as an offline wallet, start it and quickly send transactions. For that, get multibit. You can happily have both, multibit and bitcoin-qt anyway.

I am sorry for the OP, but he acted stupidly. Selling at 150 would have allowed him to buy back at 100, then sell at 130
and buy back at 70, resulting in a doubling of his coins. OP, if you aren't willing to take a small loss in order to avoid a greater
loss and create the premises for a future win, you'll just have to wait until BTC grows enough to make a profit.
Hi, can i borrow your crystal sphere? I want to predict the future too.
712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Cold Storage Bitcoin Question on: August 28, 2013, 06:17:04 PM
No it is not confusing. The bitcoin network do not aknowledge any key. You don't "connect" a wallet to the internet. Simply, you give the public address and people send money to it, if you have the private key you can spend these coins. That's all. The transactions are registered in the chain, so if you have the key, you can spend them.

Adding insult to injury, the Italian government has banned cash transactions above 1,000 euros and rolled out a new army of tax police to seize people’s assets in a guilty-til-proven innocent system.[/b]

Have you got a link for this?
I can confirm there is a 1000€ top, there was a proposal to lower it to 500... and i can also confirm about the new "anti tax evasion" thing.

716  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where does the term Block Erupter come from? on: August 21, 2013, 01:13:22 PM
It is just the name they gave to their product. Why calling something galaxy s4, iphone, lumia? Same here, they decided to call their product "block erupter". It is an ASIC mining bitcoins, so the name want you to think about it as something wich erupts blocks  like a volcano  Cheesy
717  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: do you think bitcoins will die out? on: August 19, 2013, 09:34:49 AM
that's interesting ive been wondering that for a while now, you seem like you know quite a bit about bitcoins so I have another question, when a block is fully mined [releasing 25 coins] does that mean that the other people have to start on a totally different block, that is if three pools are working on a block and pool #1 solves block does that set pool 2 and 3 back?
There is no "set pool 2 and 3 back". Back from what? Also a block "fully mined"? Either it is mined or not. There is no concept of "working toward a block". Either you find one or you do not.
718  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: USB block erupters are now useless. on: August 19, 2013, 09:11:01 AM
rofl

cant wait till bitcoins will be 500k each,

i bet those block erupts even at 200$ each made some millionaires by then!

also a unique product can have its own price tag, asicminer is one of the only to timely deliver working asics especially such low scale usb miners, i think they have the market to themselves at the moment for that, so they can make the price what ever they want...

sry but how can you say what the correct price is? who are you to go around telling others what the price of there product is?

make your own product and price it how ever you want...

sorry dont mean to be harsh, but i just dont like that Sad
ROTFL
If bitcoin reach 500k as you say, then you are much much better buying them now instead of getting these "block erupters"

Well, other projects too does not use only FLOPS. Every scientific project uses both int and floating operations. Point is that measuring computing power in FLOPS is mostly a marketing things, like when it looked like the performance of cpus depended only on megahertz or how manufacturers try to advertise GPUs by their memory.
