My advice for a business would be to transcend the bitcoin aspects of the business. It has to be a fundamentally good idea to do well, not just a weak website that accepts bitcoin for junk you could buy cheaper in dollars.
I would also look into automated systems. Businesses like say a VPN service or cloud hosting require little help from you once set up. Bitcoin lends itself well to automation and you can build a money machine if your lucky.

Don't panic. I have also had this error. As stated above:
STEP 1. BACK UP your wallet.dat file. put it on a USB stick and then begin your recovery efforts. If you are using vista/win7 then you should find it by typing " %apdata% " in the run box near the start button. There you will find the bitcoin folder. (sorry if you already know this).
The tricky part is that this is an issue normally associated with Ubuntu Linux. I don't know as much about windows, but if you are backed up you could just try reinstalling. I am also assuming that your wallet file is not currently encrypted. Encryption complicates things. You might even consider renaming your wallet file instead of encrypting it. Just change the name back when you need it, and don't tell anyone.

The Martingale strategy has worked well for me in blackjack. Though not as profitable as hard work.

I know that the "age" of the coins is a factor. If these coins were just traded or mined it takes longer, I think. Perhaps someone with a larger brain could verify this or debunk it.

My suggestion: It's going to get hot and dry, then we are all going to starve. Enjoy the last days of humanity.  The odds of turning things around must be less than 1 in 10,000? There is not even a theoretical way to address our problems, let alone a solution. |

Thanks for the update Zinoviev. I think your challenging and visionary project will garner a lot of interest. And it is awesome that you accept bitcoin.

According to many earlier sources bitcoin must already be dead. They are sure it will not even last a year. In reality the my guess as to the3 biggest threats would be:
1. SHA encryption is broken. Bitcoin would be the least of our problems then.
2. A concerted, sustained international effort by governments to make bitcoin illegal.
3. A collapse of the Internet infrastructure. No network, no bitcoin.
As far as aliens or secret societies... Get back in your Mom's basement weirdo.
I said I watch them- not believe them...
1. Even if SHA were broken, nobody can spend my coins. They might be able to hash faster, perhaps take over the network for a short while (it would become obvious immediately). My coins are still safe, and the community would transition to a different, unbroken hashing function. A temporary disruption of this kind, while painful in terms of delayed payments, would not be the end of Bitcoin.
2. The more people (including those involved with governments worldwide) have vested interest in Bitcoin, the less likely a concerted attack is. Most vulnerable days are behind us, and it's only getting better. Gaddafi was a gold bug, no one has outlawed gold; they simply killed him and took his gold.
3. Yes, this would be a problem. However, try talking to people who have been through recent conflicts. Communications infrastructure is surprisingly robust, and disruptions are usually short-lived. Where there is a will, there is a way.
@farfiman Oh, that was not at you man. I don't think your concerned about aliens or zombies. But as you point out youtube is full of such nonsense. @niko all good points. The threats I mention are not certain death, but could profoundly hurt confidence and erode price. |

Not having a credit score = a lot less options in common financial markets. Clever???  That is what I was told, but that is not what I see happening. Anyway my banker told me that if you have no score they rate you at about a 660. So I suppose I effectively still have a score. He then went on to say that they know me and would work with me, score or not. One may not be able to get that kind of co-operation from a big national bank, but I choose a small local bank after looking into their lending practices and their risk exposure. I feel like the only money I'm missing out on is the money no one should be offering me in the first place. Besides, I choose not to participate in "common financial markets". I don't think they know what the hell they are doing anymore. As evidence I point to fact that they have broken the whole world. |

Somewhat related= I took a closer look at 80 acers of forest up north. The owner is fine with financing up to 60k as a private investment. That's almost the total price and more than I need. I told him of my opinion of credit scores and he was even more eager to business.  'm thinking about creating a wolf sanctuary with the land. We just got a crazy law to hunt wolves. Sad, as they are about the most non-threatening animal in th forest. |

I just think it is sort of a sucker score.
Therefore a higher credit score just shows that you are losing money to the banks.” Get a credit card. Pay your balances in full, monthly, then there are NO FEES. Free credit score. Free low credit score. Banks do not want you if you pay off with no fees. That's the thing, a high score means you will borrow more than you can pay off and will go into debt. The credit business is about getting you in debt, not lending you money. |

Good God! 168 yards! With a handgun! I'm calling bullsh*t. That's a football field and a half. At that distance it would have been difficult for an adult with 20/20 vision to determine which one was the cop! (excepting, of course, that one assumes that the one next to the cop car is the cop.) That distance is a respectable rifle shot. Wow, I would have moved up on him before shooting even if it were 168 ft. What did he have I wonder. One of those bolt action silhouette target guns? |

This thread is what I'm talking about. Powerful energy interests have joined the "debate" for their own profit. I can't understand why people would listen to the likes of paid oil industry shills and loudmouth idiots like Rush, while ignoring real scientists who actually study this stuff. Why do you think the energy companies pay them? Because they want to build a better future? Please, they never look past the next fiscal quarter?
Real scientists are paid to find the truth. What that truth may be is not important, science is the process. But, for enough money I could find you a "scientist" who believes smoking is good for you.

Haha @Bees Brothers. I guess a bad credit score is your reward for being responsible. This from the same industry that rates junk bonds as AAA.

I want a sig shipped to me instead of a TV. LOL
Of course its the worse possible city in america it could be shipped too.
Its kinda a weird story, I don't think its amazon's fault because I don't think they even sell guns.
It sounds like a screw up at FEDEX or UPS or USPS.
Or the seller. Maybe he sells guns on the side. But what a little baby this guy is. "I called the police, then I called the Brady Campaign and offered my half baked idea on how guns should be shipped to make it easy for criminals to know what's in my box. I'm a good citizen." Anyone else you want to call, Horvitz? Hillary Clinton? PETA? Occupy DC? This should make it much easier for crooks to steal guns from UPS. Maybe we should just stamp the dollar value of each box on the side. On a related note, the recipient has died of heart disease from a life of sitting ass side down in front of a TV. |

i bet if an american muslim bought many guns, fbi/cia would be all over him
It's B.S., but I bet your right. Ignorance, meet the law.  |

Remember when the world was flat because we all "believed" it?  To be honest, we almost never believed the world was flat. During the classical era greeks even managed to more or less measure the circumference of the earth. And even during middle age almost always we believed the world is round (just look at the Divine Comedy, the world there is depicted as a sphere) True. I just used that example because people can relate to it. It's my understanding that even the Egyptians understood the Earth to be a sphere, and calculated it's approximate size. Still, there is a flat Earth society and apparently some think it's a flat disc today. The point is that whatever you or I think may have no relationship to the objective truth. These days it seems like the press and others want to weight all opinions equally. So FOX news says the sky is red, PBS says it's blue, and the big three networks have a special investigation into how purple the sky is. |
