81  Other / Beginners & Help / Coin History? on: May 30, 2013, 09:31:17 AM
I am proud of my 1.7999 BitCoin I have worked up towards.

I do notice that in the block chain 'history' some of MY coins (like 0.09~ or so) beginning with "1dice"? The fuck is this? If you keep clicking the 'from' address it takes you deeper and deeper into history. I bought these coins off eBay while ago. I have NEVER played Satoshi Dice as I am in gambling recovery and all that shit is scams anyway. Is this some kind of gambling coin or scam coin I got? Will having this gambling coin 'history' be bad? The fuk

What if someone purchased or traded coins NOT knowing that were once used on "Silk Road", that place where you can buy nuclear weapons and little African midgets. Isn't have a coin history BAD?

touche

But who actually USES the sites? Anyone?

How is anyone protected if there product or service isn't delivered? Really supposed to 'trust' people?

How many people here actually USE BitCoin and not just as a instrument of investment hoping to 'make it rich'? BitCoin isn't actually USED anywhere, besides a very few sites. Am I wrong? Post at least 10 sites (besides BitCoinStore.com) where you can buy things with BitCoin...

Don't mention that 'one bar in New York', etc. Where do YOU spend your coins?

...or are you, like everyone else, too afraid to use BitCoin due to getting scammed?

These are serious questions.

Sweet! Thx
86  Other / Beginners & Help / Backing Up BitCoin-QT on: May 29, 2013, 11:40:25 PM
Need 2 quick true answers:

1) When backing up BitCoin-QT client, do you have to first decrypt the wallet?
2) Is a 'backup' secure even if hard drive fails and have to redownload BitCoin-QT??

Buying things is fine, the receiver will only see the BitCoin address.

Really though, CoinBase will respect your privacy and will only share information with authorities if they have a reason too....

My sources tell me that other more advanced alien type civilizations have completely ignored us as we still use paper currency.

What does this even mean?

Exactly.
92  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: NO Privacy With CoinBase on: May 29, 2013, 07:42:39 PM
The big question is why is CoinBase just NOW adding "BTC" or "BITCOIN" to the bank statements for when selling BitCoin? I made a sale about a month ago for a few coin and it didn't include this info... Huh

You LINKED your BANK ACCOUNT to Coinbase and expected privacy? Not sure what to tell you. Coinbase is a financial services company providing a legitimate service with no reason to hide what they're providing, and every reason to be above-board. If you're interested in privacy, may I suggest not using a bank...

I don't care about privacy. I am NOT trying to hide anything, I just think that CoinBase adding BitCoin to the bank statement is just too much.

What I meant to do with this post was to warn others who do care about privacy, or do have past unreported income they 'forgot' to report. Just giving a PSA that CoinBase will basically tell your bank the sale was from BitCoins up front.  Wink

Well i agree they need to change that statement - but really bitcoin users shouldn't be made to feel like they are doing something wrong.

It is just 'how it is'. The media has engrained a different negative impression of BitCoin in the minds of millions.

this also makes me nervious

Just talked to a random bank teller at a different branch than I normally go to what they thought of "BitCoin", she is older and says that it is used as a way to "buy drugs, embezzle, laundry, hide money, and a vehicle for scams".

To bankers, BitCoin by itself is a 'red flag'! I wouldn't be surprised of those who sell BitCoins on CoinBase get asked a few more questions by the bank, or gets a larger magnifying glass by the IRS. Seriously.

Let me tell you, I am 52, and I have randomly been audited by the IRS in my days. I have NOTHING to hide, but it is still NOT A FUN TIME being called into an IRS branch and they begin to DRILL YOU about EVERYTHING! Until you PROVE to them you are not hiding income, etc, you are (at least they make you feel) GUILTY and threaten you will JAIL!


....That $200 cash you deposited on your birthday, that is unreported income unless you can PROVE it was a GIFT! (just an example of how they fuck you, bring lube).

It's just that I don't think that is what they are doing with the items.


They are currently mining bitcoins with your rig you purchase, duh!
98  Other / Beginners & Help / NO Privacy With CoinBase on: May 29, 2013, 05:21:15 PM
Coinbase is making many changes. One of which: I recently sold 12 BitCoin and it shows in my bank statement: "COINBASE.COM/BitCoin CREDIT". It used to just say "CoinBase CREDIT".

Even though anyone could have just looked up CoinBase, now it directly says on the bank statement "BitCoin CREDIT".

I didn't make any money on this sale, since I bought when BitCoin was around $200, so I will not be filing it as 'income', but will the bank see it as so?

If you have been infected with this then I would be very wary to access any banking/bitcoin related stuff on that machine until you reformat and reinstall.

shit.  Undecided
