I think there will be less nodes when the blockchain is getting bigger and bigger, resulting into centralization... 6615 nodes now https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/There are nodes which have the max amount of connections and it won't be able to count those nodes. Also, it doesn't cost much to get a hard disk with at least 40gb of space, it is fairly cheap. There are people running nodes on servers which is recommended since they are reliable nodes which hardly ever goes down. Most home computers goes down every night. The network need more reliable nodes than unreliable ones. |

It will eventually be included when the coin age gets high enough. A miner can decide which transaction to be included in the block that he mines.
I disagree. You forgot a transaction might expire from memory. So it must be rebroadcaster when that happens. This might be up to a week! I am telling you it happened before for me personally and the tx expired after 3 days. Didn't confirm. Just disappeared. REgarding the double spend that happened with me it was for 10 BTC and it was from Mt. Gox. My tx did not confirm for about 12 hours then they double spent the coins so my tx went invalid and disappeared into oblivion. They confirmed it and resent it later on. A transaction will expire from memory assuming if it doesn't get rebroadcasted for a few days. And I stated "Depending on your client's behavior, it may rebroadcast till it gets included into a block." I guess it was due to my phrasing, I wanted to say that the transaction will eventually be included if the client rebroadcast it. |

Just a note that 0 FEES transaction may not be included AT ALL at times of transaction volume. It happened before to many and it happened to me personally several times. If you can wait and resend then why not! if not come on tip the miners a couple of cents man!
The priority has to be at least 57,600,000 to be included in the block. Depending on your client's behavior, it may rebroadcast till it gets included into a block. It will eventually be included when the coin age gets high enough. A miner can decide which transaction to be included in the block that he mines. |

Uh.... Why not just make an account with a normal connection and then enable Tor afterwards instead of trying to create several accounts through Tor? Or perhaps use a VPN I haven't heard of people having trouble with that on this forum. Your story sounds pretty dodgy to be honest if you're triggering something like that, I've never had any problems with this site that you're describing and I've been here almost 2 years now.
There are people who want to have anonymity on the internet to prevent being tracked. If you create an account anywhere, your IP is likely to be tracked. Most people are just paranoid though, they can just buy a VPN/VPS and create an account using it. |

Google being one of the top search engine that people usually visit, Bitcoin would likely to gain more recognition. Having more recognition would allow more people to know about Bitcoin and thus adopting it.

Even though darkcoin may be more secure, it may crash any moment since its very volatile as an altcoin. As long as you use darkwallet or any other mixing service and do not link them together by spending both of them in a single transaction or send or receive Bitcoin between both of the wallet.

It's really just your preference, however, greenaddress does offer better security and features. Greenaddress allows you to setup a transaction limit and will limit your transaction volume. If your account gets hacked, the hacker will not be able to make more transaction than what you specified. Also, blockchain.info has some security holes before.
Yes, it is 100 time more secure than blockchain.info - check the greenAddress official thread here in the forum : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521988.0I couldn't find an option that lets user have control over their Private keys, what happens if for some reason the site is down? How will a user get access to their funds? I believe they won't allow the user to access the private key. However, since they only have one of the two, it can still be secure as if they run away, they will not be able to access your wallet. On their FAQ, But what happens if your service goes away? Will I lose my coins?
GreenAddress signs each transaction with its own key in addition to client-side signing by user's keys, and funds are stored in 2-of-2 multisignature outputs requiring both signatures to spend. The drawback of it is that you cannot control your funds without GreenAddress' signature, so you are right to worry that you can lose your coins.
But! We have solved this issue by providing nLockTime transactions which essentially make deposits 'expire' after some time, which allows redeeming them without our intervention after this pre-set period of time. It is enabled by default when you have email notifications and two factor enabled.
This allows you to keep your ease of mind even in case GreenAddress disappears with its keys.
It also means that every time the funds expire the user has to re-transfer them. This can be automated on login and notified in advance via email or manually done.
For redeeming the funds after expiration, you can use a tool we've developed specifically for this purpose - see Gentle and its project on GitHub. It's open source! . Therefore, even if they go down, you can still redeem your inputs using gentle( http://greenaddress.github.io/gentle/#/view1) |

The title is self explanatory... Is there anything to be done?
If you have the wallet backup in your mail, Create another account on blockchain and import it might work.  I believe the backup would also most likely be encrypted by a password. Even if he gets the backup, he would need password to crack the private key and spend the coins inside there. If you know the password, just import it like a normal wallet using electrum or multibit with webcam. |

Thanks guys for your reply.
@cellard,
I already visited this website several times but I couldn't find my card listed.
@ranochigo,
Do you mean that cudaminer is not optimized for "Scrypt" mining? as I tried it with GUI-Miner for bitcoin and I got 25-70MH/s depending on the pool.
No, most nvidia GPU aren't that efficient if compared to the AMD GPUs. Bitcoins and litecoins are completely different, they have different algorithm to calculate for blocks, scrypt in general is harder to calculate than Bitcoin. Cudaminer is pretty much the best you can get for a nvidia gpu. |

okay now it shows btc in my wallet. The only thing is the date shows unverified. So could i send btc now?
You should be able to spend the Bitcoins already, if the transaction has at least 1 confirmation, you can spend it already. I believe your electrum wallet wants at least 6 confirmation to ensure that a double spend will be difficult unless 51% of the mining power is under the attacker. |

Im seeing all these news about China considering banning bitcoin. What the hell are these guys going to do then?
Continue mining. Nothing is going to happen from the PBOC. China's been banning Bitcoin for 4 or 5 years already, if they'd want something completely banned, they'd do it by now, being a Communist country and all. Well but they are hurting BTC trust specially among chinese citizens if they keep putting out all these ban rumors. China has not banned bitcoin at any point of time. It is just restricted and regulated. Individuals can still buy and sell bitcoins or trade with other individuals. There are still some bitcoin companies based in China. AFAIK, the banks will not allow transactions relating to Bitcoin. Bitcoin cannot be banned completely, people will always be able to bypass and use it . |

if you want full anonymity , use an altcoin that is made for that instead , i'd reccomend Darkcoin however there's probably others aswell.
If the altcoin crash, then you would lose your Bitcoins. Alt coins are extremely volatile, they can crash at any given time. For bitcoin anonymity is easy to achieve too. Use a mixer to mix your coins and use the coinchoose function in Bitcoin core to prevent it from being linked to another address. |

electrum all the way, and i don't remember that you can sign offline transaction with blockchain
I still don't understand how in hell you can do "offline transactions". How can that ever happen if we aren't connected to the blockchain? is there any video that answers this in layman's? Electrum on the online computer will sync to the most recent block then you can create a unsigned raw transaction. To validate it, copy it to a usb drive then to the cold storage computer and use the electrum client there to sign it. Next, bring the signed transaction to the online computer and broadcast it from there. |

Is that your own wallet which you control? If you have a client like Bitcoin core, Multibit or online wallets like Blockchain.info or blocktrail, you must have been hacked if you hasn't initiate any transaction. However, if you sent it to a wallet like coinbase.com or exchange like bitstamp, then your coins would be transferred to the hot wallet and you would have been credited on the website. Would you mind to tell us where did you get the address from?

You have done nothing wrong. Cudaminer automatically optimise the settings for your GPU. In this case, it should be the max it can go. Nvidia cards are not optimized for opencl computing. Cudaminer attempts to improve your hashrate by utilizing the cusscores in nvidia GPU. Mobile GPU are never optimized for mining as they need low power usage and low heat output. Mining on it would surely stress thus overheating it and shortening the lifespan.

Bitcoin Core is the most secure wallet, if you need better feature you can try Armory.
And usually hackers hack wallet from virus / malware
Many people can't/don't use them as Blockchain needs to be downloaded and it is over ~30 GB. So SPV clients like Multibit or Electrum or hardware wallets or paper wallets are their choice. -MZ yes, whereas with current connection speeds of DSL/cable/cellular access downloading 30GB shouldn't be such a big effort and can be run as a background task. Even if it takes a week to do, it is worth the effort. You can still sign the spend the funds even if the blockchain isn't downloaded. Wallets like electrum would be much easier since they have a gui. The difference between bitcoin core and other wallets are very small. Bitcoin core just offer the advanced features a technical user needs. Whereas other wallets offer typical user one would use to secure their coins or receive/send bitcoins. Download and upload speed isn't as important as the possible bottleneck in your CPU. Slow CPU takes loads and loads of time to verify all the blocks. Also, if there are no Bitcoin nodes which is near you, the speed would be reduced greatly. |

It is really not much of a big deal when google decide to remove apps. The fact that android allows user to install third party apps already allows android users to install the myceilum again without hassle and you can build it yourself too.

but, i already have 0.015 btc in that itcoin and always give me more btc everyday. i think like greencoincash or like ourbeks i used them for more than 2 months i think but, it already not scam i think because that 3 sites always pay me.
HYIP and ponzis work till they dont, they are more probably to run away when more people invest. Most site would just run away at one point, it can be very long or very short. The fact that you created this account to post this is suspicious, are you associated with them? |
|

Rather expensive lesson but this should have taught you not to trust third party for holding on your coins. Your BTC should preferably be in your control at all times, the risk of you losing BTC due to a online exchange shutdown would be virtually zero.

What about Android?
Most of people who got scammed lost their BTC on shady exchanges, how's OS relevant in this case?
after I use Windows, I have been robbed and now I switched to Android, whether the risk will be higher? Why not buy a hardware wallet ? where can I get it? I do not know about the hardware wallet  Hardware wallets like Trezor are effective in stopping malware since there are currently no designed for it and they have anti keylogger features. IMO it is a good investment for huge amount of BTC. For small amounts go for paper wallets generated on offline computer. |
