And secondly, just to make sure I'm current on this -- there is no way for these to be redeemed without first downloading a patch for bitcoind that will allow importing of the key?
You can use Pywallet |

Congratulations  It's always nice to see bitcoins being used outside of exchanges. I believe some other user here was offering reality kings accounts... Maybe you could team up and sell accounts through the same website? |

I am at 866 BTC right now.
That is my initial investment, but at this point I will be setting up my wife's shop to accept Bitcoin and have the convenience store next door start accepting Bitcoin which I will probably spend buying Cuban sandwiches from him.
I will start transferring spending money to BTC as I talk to more places locally and they start accepting BTC.
Local stores accepting bitcoins are great news. As for going all-in... That's another story. |

Really smart feature. You're making real life payments with bitcoins almost as easy as online payments. Is there any specific protocol for QR-Codes? I noticed you used address=...?amount=... Are there any other QR Code specifications common to all mobile wallets? This reminds me of this thread. PS: in the screenshot from Step 3 you actually couldn't make the payment, could you? It says 0 available BTCs PSS: this chick looks even hotter than the other one  |

Provavelmente eu irei abrir uma página muito simples onde portugueses poderão comprar bitcoins e pagar com multibanco, mas isso apenas se houver interesse num serviço desse tipo. Agradeço algum feedback.  Isso são óptimas notícias Eu usaria esse serviço muito ocasionalmente dependendo da diferença para o preço de mercado. Não tenho a mínima noção da popularidade de bitcoins em Portugal, mas tenho ideia que não é muita. Somos um país pequeno |

Podes comprar/vender em vários sites (vê a lista completa em bitcoincharts.com).
Se fosse em Lisboa eu vendia-te em mão. Assim posso vender-te após transferência bancária. Se estiveres interessado manda-me PM.

Difficulty dropped by 1% or so, so that's how much more you'll get.
Which means that will get 6.06 coins a day. |

Thanks for the reply.
Using processing power to secure transactions make sense, but I still don't see why all the biggest datacenters should get the big part of the money.
I was not talking about resuming a mining operation, just how to keep my account and wallet when re-installing or switching computers.
I also won't try GUIMiner again unless I get an answer on that crash. Seems like there's a lot of other applications available, which one should be best for an high-end Intel+Nvidia combo on Windows7 x64?
Right now, there aren't many "big datacenters" because this is a very specific problem and the performance depends on the hardware you use. I can beat 100 PCs that mine with a CPU just by using an ATI 5970. So instead of big datacenters, we have shortage of ATI cards. To backup your wallet you only need to save the wallet.dat file: Linux/unix: ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat
Windows: %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\wallet.dat (I think; I don't run Windows)
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat
See here for more info. GUIMiner should work... That shutdown is worrying. What is the GPU model? |

Hello there,
Just took the time to read what bitcoins are all about. Got to say I like the idea.
I understand most of it, except what exactly are we calculating? Hashtables creating blocks, but of what? Just useless hard to find mathematical proofs to dispatch the new coins introduced in the market randomly? If it's the case, why does powerful computer should be advantaged? Shouldn't it be randomly decided? Otherwise, does the processing power is sold for real money to medical research and stuff and it get converted to bitcoins?
Questions that should be on the Bitcoin's main page FAQ:
-Does the Bitcoin client use any processing power on idle mode? What about network usage?
-Miners of course use your processing power, but what about network usage?
Problem encountered:
I used Bitcoin client + GUIMiner (as recommended on a random pool I picked). It worked fine, but when clicking on "Stop" in GUIMiner the computer completely shut down unexpected (fans stop and everything). Bad GPU call?
I try to enter the Bitcoin client again, and all I get is a "Error loading blkindex.dat" error message. Already corrupted my data after one run? Not very fool proof. How can I resume? Will re-install loose my address and progress?
Yes, they are "useless" calculations. They will not be used for any kind of medical research. What most people fail to realize is that miners support the network. These calculations ensure that money will not be spent twice. The network needs miners and as a reward for they work, they get a few coins. The discussion here might interest you. The Bitcoin client does not use any relevant processing power. Network usage is high at first (until you download all the blocks), but then it is kind of low. As for your problem, I can't help. But you should be mining at a pool. To mine at a pool you don't need the Bticoin client. You only need to enter your pool credentials at the GUIMiner. PS: If you don't have any bitcoins yet, you can reinstall your client. And mining is not "resumable". The work you have previously done does not influence the work you will do in the future. It's like a lottery. You just are throwing random guesses at something. |

When you pay with bitcoins, the address your payment comes from is not the same address you use to receive. You should not identify transactions based on this.
Just give a different address to each person. When you receive the money on that address, you can connect it with the email.

Why would they submit their own bitcoin address?

You could setup a website with this game The jackpot could be, for example, 0.5BTC and people would pay 0.1BTC to place a bet. |

I think bit-pay has some off the shelf solutions (sort of like paypal). Maybe you should contact them.

September 13 is when the trial starts. The decision should take a few weeks.

I understand the basic idea of selling something you don't own to buy it later when the value comes down. I just don't understand some details of how this happens. For example, how long can I want until I buy it back?
Let's go over what happened to OP. From what I understand, you initially sold $100 at $6 (with a limit order to short-sell at $5.69 at most) and then you issued two market orders: sold $50 at 5.9849 and another $50 at $6.9769. So, what happened at $7.43? You were forced to buy back?

Programming a trading bot solely based on the day of the week would be awesome  Here's a 6 months chart. If you want raw data points look here under Historic Trade Data. |
