If I assume that Satoshi Nakamoto has 1 million bitcoins and he sends them to an address that has no known private key, I think that bitcoin's price in general rises because there is less value of bitcoin in Satoshi Nakamoto's hands so the value of the bitcoin I have is higher and I could ask for a bigger price for it.

I was helping a friend and his wish included a software that was being sold on bitcointalk. So, I registered to buy that software and later I read about bitcoin on this forum and I became interested in it and the discussion where I participated in kept my interest for a long-term relationship

Bitcoin can be and is widely used as money. However, bitcoin is different than physical money in nature. For most people, we have yet to explain what gives bitcoin its value. In addition, we have yet to have them accept bitcoin. Bitcoin is not only money, though. Bitcoin is an investment, too, in itself.

I use bitcoin to put my investment into it and to send anonim transactions.

I spend it on web sites or in private / personal deals.

I do not usually "sell" my bitcoins, but sometimes I exchange it to altcoin.

I do not usually "buy" bitcoins, but earn it from services, but when I do, I buy it from exchanges.

I advise us not to confuse JavaScript with Java, though. Java was removed from browsers a very long time ago while JavaScript is still widely used in stable projects. Unless you know what you are doing, disabling JavaScript is advised, but the nature of the JavaScript that web sites use is that the script runs on client side so it is possible to white-box analyze it in a secure environment and if you find it safe, you may enable JavaScript for that site. Using JavaScript is not a Devil's tool nowadays!

I know people who live from altcoin development, but forking a blockchain may not be enough to attract investors. You have to program some really good features, too. So, you could create a new platform with blockchain technology and live from the development of that platform.

And it is not only about the coin's price, but the blockchain and the technology that you could build with the blockchain. You could build innovative projects that uses blockchain to run innovative features as super computing, P2P lending and extended discussion boards. Since I have never seen the mentioned features in work yet, I think they are kinda risky, but certainly you could be the #1 in them and as #1 in something, earn a great amount of income.

Yes, it is possible to earn a living with bitcoin, but I do not suggest living just from bitcoin. For me, my life is the most important and I would not put it on the price of bitcoin, but I have very good experience with blockchain because I actually manage to earn a living amount of income from bitcoin and more from blockchain technology related development.

I think, if you can download 7 years of chain block, you should do it to support the the decentralized system. Do not fall into the trap of collective irresponsibility! Well, if you cannot download that much data, you still could use the client and do transactions or find an alternative, lightweight client. In the long term, we are advised to find a solution for the big data problem in-before bitcoin network starts a centralization pattern.

"Other" than what? I have not seen any high quality (!) financial platform that, for example, would have a stable feature for P2P lending. I can think of one at the moment, but to be honest, it still is under development so I cannot know how many others will implement the idea. So, P2P lending is a feature I yet want to see in work.

As far as I know, the Bash implementation was not only a working solution, but pretty neat too.

When I write 'pretty neat', I am thinking of speed and stability factors.

According to these factors, the developers have done a very good job.

What is your opinion on this experience? Can you confirm or argue with it?

@digicoinuser, I have just read that Windows 10 integrated Bash that supports every feature that an Ubuntu's Bash supports. I do not wonder this fact much because it integrated Ubuntu, too lol. So, you may find the following discussion helpful WINDOWS 10 HAS NOW BASH. Your script should work fine on Windows 10 without additional dependencies from now on   Also, you may use more advanced features on a Windows server, too, from now on.

I remember that someone asked for this feature some days ( weeks ? ) ago. In that time, I suggested installing a Bash port for Windows as I, too, have done in the past. The problem was that I was not sure whether the Bash port that I suggested had all features that the person whom I helped to needed. So, I could just give a tip at maximum. Now, I know that Windows 10 integrated a full-feature Bash so maybe I will return to update some of my older suggestion. Thank you for informing us about this new possibility!

I know that is it a very active job. As a matter of fact, starting up an exchange necessitates alot of work, especially much test. By time and with the help of scripts, you can automate a lot of jobs and hire more people but further development will take much work too and you cannot just automate the whole development.

I have received my payment, thank you! I received it right in time. I am not very happy because of the recent negative-direction changes in the payment rates, though. But I will be able to deal with it, I guess. Thank you for my first payment! I appreciate it.

You surely will need more than one server if you want to host such an enormous project. Putting aside the hardware power that it would need, you cannot host a financial system from one server for security reasons. You need at least three dedicated servers to do that.

You always should consider the local threats and actual vulnerabilities of the storage material. Hardware may be very vulnerable even to a drop of water while a piece of paper could easily burn or rot. You could look around the collectibles within the forum. Some of them were designed to be very protective like the Keyois Capsule.

There are more than one Bash ports for Windows. I was using win-bash in the past. It is also on SourceForge. You can install it onto Microsoft Windows NT based systems. I have not tested whether it covers everything what you need, but it is the most complete Bash port for Windows that I have used so far and since it has GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2), it should not be too complicated to issue new tickets with your requests.

You do not know beforehand how much money people will invest into the altcoin, do you? Transparency truly is an important feature to determine a coin's reliability, but even when everything seem cool, there is risk so you are still advised to be cautious and keep your eyes on the development progress and check that it actually is progress, not simple forking.

If my news are actual, people at TuxExchange still give coins to newcomers. You can find them on Bitcointalk forum so I am not copying their current offers. This is their forum thread where you could find everything https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1541333.0 Good luck!
