From my logical thought.... Bitcoin isn't considered income until conversion of BTC to USD since BTC is not a recognized currency of the IRS.
Am I correct? I should check out that page you linked up today.
No, you are not correct. Before you start analyzing you need to know the applicable rules. The guide I pointed you towards gives an overview of the landscape with over 100 legal footnotes from statutes, cases, etc. so you can learn the rules along with some brief examples of application of the rules. OP asks for accounting/legal advice, gets referred to 31 page document written by a lawyer that costs less than $5, reveals himself as ungrateful, to say the least. You are calling me ungrateful for asking for information on a PUBLIC FORUM? Well that's nice. I can see where the rest of this thread is going to go. I thought there where good people out there trying to build UP the bitcoin community. Now i see it is all about greed. |

I am really sorry for trolling but here is a site that does dogtags. The problem is they don't allow the equal sign, plus they only allow 15 characters a line and 5 lines per dog tag.
The AES code that is generated is 108 characters, and even if i leave off the trailing equal sign that is still too many.
Thoughts folks? Is there an AES code COMPRESSOR? Like Zip is to files?

I for one think that brain wallets are a recipe for disaster. I still believe AES encrypting a private key and storing the encrypted key in multiple places is far more secure.
I have found a place that charges $15 per line. Depends on the font size and size of the piece of metal that is.
FYI Things Remembered is a fucking rip off, try and find someone local, they all ship it out.
Mike, any thoughts?

Can I have a sample? I want to assure the quality of your product  |

Well for one thing www.bitaddress.org tells me that my passphrase is too short and won't allow a brainwallet to be generated. LETTER LETTER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER LETTER Try again hippie! |

I don't think that is a good idea. One could just brain wallet sequential numbers and check the public key balance against the chain.
BZZZ!!!! Try again!

I will be honest. When I see an affiliate link for a service or product I like I usually wipe my cookies, revisit the site with the plain url and make my purchase.
Yes... I am an asshole. Problem?

What, exactly, are you going to ask him? If he can change the algorithm that assigns firstbits because you're so super special? It's not a big database that he can just overwrite or something, it's an algorithm that finds the first address in the blockchain matching 1gig* - it's published, widely used and there's a fair chance that even IF firstbits.com would change their copy of the algo just for you, the community would abandon it for another site that adhered to the publicly published standard. firstbits 1gig is in use, you're not going to change the algorithm, you're not going to brute force the privkey, just choose a different target and move on with life. It's gone man, it's gone. Where there is a will there is a way and what ever the way is I will find it! |

This is news is not new. I heard about Intel doing something like this a few years back.
Things are about to get really interesting really fast!

I am in the works at giving a lecture at a local hackerspace. Do you all have any suggestions on what I should cover and perhaps HOW? Feel free to message me or leave your thoughts in this tread. Sorry for the trolling |

Prefix '3GiG' not possible
Hint: valid bitcoin addresses begin with "1"
Vanitygen doesn't support 3 addresses AFAIK, because they use a different type of hashing. You're going to have to write your own program to do it. I have said it before and I will say it again! KAKA! |
