Which helps the lender get their funds back how? Without collateral you're not going to get this loan - you're new with no trust.

Good luck. Personally I'm doubtful you will get a refund - DayZ hasn't gone on sale AFAIK so it's impossible to sell it at half price without losing money. In effect he's probably using a stolen CC/PP to buy these and offer low prices so he can convert the stolen funds to BTC. If the payment is chargebacked (happens with stolen accounts) then all gifts associated with the purchase will be removed.

Successfully bought a copy of the Bioshock Triple Pack. Smooth transaction - received the gift immediately after I finished paying. Would recommend.

AFAIK there shouldn't be a difference as long as you are using the same client for both. What client are you using?

Because they think that Bitcoin's existence makes it easier for them to get funding and spend that to buy things to support their terrorist campaign. The problem is that they still and have always been using fiat do that...

Sure it isn't. I was stating that it is extremely unlikely that you'll be punished on here for a violation of rules on Reddit. It makes a lot more sense to ban the user on Reddit itself.

It depends on how often your client rebroadcasts the tx. I'm not familiar with how often Multibit does so but I'll see if I can find it. Your tx should confirm eventually - if it doesn't; just treat it the same as a 0 fee tx and follow this guide (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231309.0). I wouldn't do so immediately as there is a chance it'll go through by itself but if after a week you don't have any confirms you might wan to look into it.

You don't have any feedback as far as I can see.

I doubt it would be reddit mods - it would be unfair for them to flag accounts here that are doing wrong things on there as they cannot prove the person behind it is the same. Even account names don't prove much (many popular names are taken early on all sites).

The size of your inputs were far higher than your fee warranted. You need at least 0.0001 per kB under the prior system (newest implementation has not been fully adopted yet) while you only have 0.0001 for 10kB. Your bitcoins are not lost - they should confirm eventually (may take some days). If not you'll have to wait for the nodes and miners to forget it and rebroadcast a new tx with a bigger fee.

Well it's because of the fact posting equates to money that people have a propensity to spam. It's far easier for people to write short pointless posts rather than actually read a thread and try to post something that adds value. People have come to associate paid signatures with spamming as a result of this and hence it has a stigma attached.

Sorry for your loss. If you want to ensure you're using reputable Bitcoin-related businesses in the future my advice would be to look for ones that have an active representative on this site with their own thread so you can view feedback and ensure that everything is working before you send coins. A lot of sites have been popping up trying to offer fake services that mimic real ones in order to scam.

I doubt my individual opinion would matter much to Amazon - even with their good customer support. I personally believe that if adoption of BTC as a payment method for a goods/services by any of the tech giants becomes a likelihood (rather than just a hope) Amazon will rush to implement it aiming not to be left behind. The problem now is that BTC is really a niche market - there ain't enough people using it to warrant a shift from traditional fiat.

Or you could just use a client that doesn't need you to download the whole blockchain? Honestly, if it's such a pain (ie if you have slow internet) you're really better off unless you're committed to being a full node. Just out of curiosity is international shipping included in that price?

Even if they had been able to achieve those profits consistently - it doesn't make sense that they would share it. If we're assuming their 1% a day you'd already have gotten ~ 3700% in a year. That much should quite easily tell you that it wasn't possible; most scams try to balance you between reality and greed. Too low a profit and no one will try and too high and everyone will not invest because they know its a scam.

I'm sorry but you have no trust, no collateral and a completely new account whose only post has been this. In the balance of probabilities this is simply another scam - so you're not going to be getting this loan. If you truly need a loan fund some collateral - anyone would be happy to work with you then.

Clearly it's either something on your phone/computer - I'd be more inclined to go with your phone. Android isn't exactly the safest system - are you rooted/jail broken? Have you installed any shady apps recently? I would say if you want to generate secure keys to have an offline computer running on a liveCD of your favourite linux distro and run Electrum/bitaddress.

I would advise when running it make sure you do so offline (and make sure get the latest version - older ones had RNG issues). That way if there is anything malicious to steal your keys you should be fine (unless it designed to give you pregenerated keys - but that shouldn't happen with the source being available).

Probably is - was simply using it to emphasise the improbability of an actual collision.

I think I misinterpreted, I thought you were referring to randomly reproducing a private key that would enables coins to be spent from the same address as one already in use. Brain wallets are most certainly not advisable - they are a good theoretical idea but humans are incapable of randomness. Any text from any book/movie is pretty much bruteforced and the coins stolen (there was a guy who chose a few lines from an obscure poem who lost some coins IIRC).

I would think a password of equivalent length to a brain wallet would be more secure as unlike brain wallets where they can generate the combinations offline without havin gto have your wallet - the password you use is individual to your wallet and hence they would need your wallet and then bruteforce it making it far less viable than simply going through a dictionary list.

It's working from my end now. Sorry if I was a little unclear, I realise I screwed up the grammar - meant to say I was getting a 404 being served by Cloudflare.

First off which client are you using? If you're using Qt it will generate new private keys every 100 transactions (as it follows the original suggestion of only using an address once).

As the address is derived from the private key all you need to do is know the private key for a corresponding address. You do not need to back up both - all clients will be able to calulcate it.

A wallet is simply a 'list' of private keys which are used to sign transactions that relate to the movement of Bitcoins from addresses that are 'linked' to the private key.

I personally would not keep many Bitcoins in Blockchain - if you do make sure to use 2FA.

If you have you're keys written down there is always the chance that they get burned down in a fire with your computer. People have as many secured backup as possible to ensure that if anything goes wrong they still have the private keys.

All clients are capable of sending Bitcoins - to check your balance simply open your client, usually the GUI is good enough to show you outright.
