It'll only attract spam, so why would you want to do that?
This is "optional". You can hide your email if you want no one to see it but for those who want to put a public email address, this will be helpful. Sure, but you know how people are. They see a field "email address" and they fill it in. Later, they wonder why they receive tons of spam.  I think 'display email address' option in 'Forum Profile Information' [1] and a line about that option won't make confusion.

Is holding USD a long time, a good way to make money? USD is suffering because of inflation since government is printing money. There is a whole different story with Bitcoin. While it is not a good way to make money holding USD long term, it is certainly a good way to make money holding Bitcoin long term, given that Bitcoin is gonna survive that is... How do you know bitcoin will survive? bitcoin might be deflationary and fiat inflationary but either one of them could become worthless or devalue by a lot. Bitcoin is till very risky in my opinion. Bitcoin is adopted in many places and if this continues, it survives. Most of the times, we don't know whether it will survive or not but we believe it survives. Because Bitcoin has a finite amount and that amount is even too low for mass adoption and to be used by everybody, it might get increased, but certainly government won't print them like USD..  The amount of them that's going to be in circulation might not go up but their demand could go down, especially if something better comes along or it becomes unprofitable for the miners to mine. First one is possible. If something better comes and is adopted, Bitcoin is doomed. Second one is wrong because there will be a second way for confirming transactions at that time and difficulty most probably decreases which will help small scale miners. |

What is your xpub key? This will allow anyone to be able to see any transaction in your particular electrum wallet, however will not have access to any private keys.
+1. Please input your xpub key in an explorer and see if there is any balance. Eg:- https://blockchain.info/xpub/xpub6CUGRUonZSQ4TWtTMmzXdrXDtypWKiKrhko4egpiMZbpiaQL2jkwSB1icqYh2cfDfVxdx4df189oLKnC5fSwqPfgyP3hooxujYzAu3fDVmzi tried but my wallet is nt being sync...but m still trying and will tell u if i am suceeded
Check if your firewall blocks Electrum but it is unlikely as you were using it previously. Please close and re-open it and check if syncing problem persists. Btw, please lock other thread in Technical Support. It is double-posting and is against forum rules. |

The commenters on the MultiBit architecture are correct.
MultiBit HD connects directly to Bitcoin Core/XT nodes to:
+ get transaction data
+ send transactions
So where is this node? It's a server isn't it? I know that the server can't spend the coins but still, he knows all addresses in that wallet, right? Its similar to electrum as long as iam not wrong. So theoretically i see a risk. Nodes are not servers, they are Bitcoin Core/XT clients which opened inbound connections. See https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node. |

ISIS since it declared *itself* a state under strict Islamic law. - True.

It is Iran's law, not Islam's. ...
So now Iran's not Islam? How can Iran be Islam? Iran is following Islam but as it is coutry, it has its own rules which is not told by Islam. There is no country which follows Islam fully. All countries which claims to follow Islam have Islamic, plus their own rules. You should not mix those two and say both are Islamic rules. Sharias are unique but some people tend to create new laws and tell it is Islam's. This is mainly seen in politics to support their actions. Im agree with you @Zakir most of the people and states have their own rules which are not described by Quran and not proved by Sunnah. They follow their own rules and said these are Islamic rules. They don't directly say that. They say "we follow Islam" and then they enforce their own laws. Medias connect these... However, some do say their own rules are Islamic. For example, ISIS. |

This is the reason. You have to wait until your ban time finishes. If you still write in forum other than this thread your ban time will be extended for ban evasion.
Would you mind let me know that how long time will it take to revoke my ban. You are permanently banned. However, try not to post or send any PM in this forum for 1-2 months and appeal again. You might get another chance. |

Does it allow to accept bitcoin without conversion to FIAT ? I used to know bitpay is used to convert a bitcoin payment instantly to FIAT. AFAIK its optional. |

Thanks for the answers. I think bitaddress.org looks fine. I could use https://brainwallet.org/#sign to sign a message. It's using https, so it's a bit safe, though you have to trust the website. But as long as you don't put coins on it... And when you have to protect something more valuable then you should use a more secure address surely. But this sounds like a quick and easy way. -snip- You should not put your private keys in online websites. If you want to use BitAddress.org and/or Brainwallet.org, download and use them locally. I see what you mean.. but don't you think that blockchain.info is more hackersafe than most people's private computers are? If you agree that this is true, then saying "don't use online wallets as a rule is problematic. There is another thread now and the guy stored his BC on his own computer and got hacked. Maybe if we had used an online wallet with better security measures than his own computer he would still have had them? Of course either way he would need good passwords etc. I tend to think that perfectly executed cold storage is the best, next are the best online wallets, and then finally would be downloaded wallets made by the majority of people. Because I just don't think most people are able to keep procedures safe enough to guard from hacking. Blockchain.info is a bad wallet. In general, online wallets are less secure than local wallets. Only wallet I suggest is GreenAddress. Other online wallets are either not secure or does not give partial/full access to users' coins. https://www.google.com/search?q=blockchain.info+hackshttps://www.google.com/search?q=blockchain.info+android+bug |

It is Iran's law, not Islam's. There is no said punishment from humans in this world. They created their own law and don't mix that with Islam. Note that, if any of the persons have at least a reason for not fasting, he may not even get punishment from Allah.

Hello! I don't like to give current email address associated with my account to others but at the same time, I would like others to know an email address of mine so that they can contact me. For this, I think a 'display' email will be helpful. That is, we can add two email addresses, one for forum messages which won't be displayed publicly and one for displaying publicly. Suggestions/opinions are most welcome!

You mean the intermediary addresses only owned by BitPay? I mean, the ones in the invoice forms.
AFAIK, yes. Buddy I just want to ask, is this really true!? Is this up to date information? The reason I ask is that I have already spent a fair bit of time working with it and apart from a couple of exceptions it seems pretty good- I don't really want to have to start from scratch.
Blockchain.info API is not bad but Blockchain.info has a lot of problems which may cause problems when receiving payments and it is not a good idea to depend on a third party because you will have to temporarily (unintentionally) close your service as you can't accept payments. Another reason I want to use the blockchain.info API is that it comes with code which does stuff like automatically detects a payment. I really wouldn't know how to start doing something like that on my own!
If you don't code, then it's better to go with BitPay or Coinkite(recommended). P.S. Before you go with Coinkite or BitPay, please check https://www.blocktrail.com/api/docs and see if you can create a simple pay button with it. |

This website also generate and publish private keys. www.coinfind.cfNew archive with 100,000 priv. keys are published every day. But seems like this is for good reason, creator of that website drop some BTC to 5 addresses for others to find. So when peoples get the Same private key, the one got some free bitcoin. But if I am right that will need so much luck to get the same private key,that it will take most likely many years. And what is the good reason u are saying? Thanks, ClamCoin  definitely free coins for the other owner. but the chance is so small like it is 99.999999999999999% impossible. maybe in our entire lives it wouldn't happen You need many more 9s than that. -snip- The probability of a collision is found by a standard formula: p = 1 - k! / N k-1(N-k)!, where k is the number of hashes generated (100x10 10x10 3) and N is the number of possible hashes (2 160). This is a difficult number to calculate, but there is a good approximation: p = 1 - e -k(k-1)/2NBut even that value is difficult to compute because of the precision needed. Here is another approximation p = k 2/2N. So the answer is that the probability of at least one collision is approximately 7x10 -19 or 0.00000000000000007% See: http://preshing.com/20110504/hash-collision-probabilities -snip- |
