Get a 7950, overclock it and mine Litecoins.

I dont know if its going to be a BTC price collapse, lawsuit, some local prosecutor, The Feds, or some batshit crazy preorder holder who cant take it anymore and goes postal at the BFL offices, but something tells me BFL might not be around much longer.
Actually, Im really rooting for them, because it would be terrible for BTC if they went down with 85% preorders unfilled. Disaster.

Screw mining with that thing, I want one for Battlefield 4!  |

Mining is a grinders game, for people who want to mine and hold for years. Mining to sell for fiat makes no sense, just get a job, lol.

I dont think it can catch up unless BTC gets 51%'d, because BTC is so far ahead. But it can play a great role as a #2.
BTC as reserve currency and for major purchases: house, car, property, million dollar international payments. LTC for buying coffee.
LTC/Scrypt is also a hedge against BTC/SHA256 and as such helps to secure the entire cryptocurrency economy.

Cliff notes: no, dont solo mine. For sure, you wont ever find another block now.  Yes, buy a lotto ticket. Also, if you stopped working for Opencoin and promoting Ripple, you might get more respect around here. That shit is wack man. |

What if 1 BTC were worth $1000 instead of $100? Or $10,000?
Dont write off your efforts. Think of all the people who mined hundreds or thousands of coins in the early days, and just wiped the drive containing their wallet or gave their old PC to charity or left it on the curb because they never thought BTC would be worth more than a penny or two each.
Mining is a grinders game, for long term bulls who want to mine and hold. Mining to sell immediately for fiat is silly, in my opinion.

Mike Caldwell’s Casascius Coin (here is a great vid of Mike “pressing” coins).
Id be interested in watching this, but the link doesnt show up for me. Im very interested in seeing BTC bills, and although I understand why llama is trying to corner the market, I dont like this approach at all. Just let free competition happen, and may the best physical bitcoins win. I think physical, multi-denomination BTC is a huge, necessary step forward towards mass adoption. |

Thank you both. I have changed it to '@@@@@applebeesmakesmevomit12345&&&&&' as recommended.
It was pretty obvious from your first post but...  Hey man, Im just trying to do a public service and add something useful to this website. Please feel free to correct me or add some info. Even if my post helps one person save their BTC, it will be worth the time it took me. You can also use Inputs.io which has a an unkeyloggable PIN input pad.
Cool. Thank you for posting TradeFortress. |

How to Avoid Keyloggers[/b]
The easiest way to avoid any type of keylogger is simple: type part of your passphrase into a blank document, and copy and paste it into your wallet. Then type some random gibberish into your open document. Then type another part of your password. Copy & paste. Repeat. Doing this 2 or more times makes it virtually impossible to have your password stolen via hardware or software.
This will only make harder but not impossible to steal password while typing. There are already programs that read your clipboard, if they are used with keylogger and program which is reading in which window you are typing there is no way to securely enter your password because even most complicated system using ctrl+c ctrl+v and parts of passwords can be reverted back. The good thing is that there is not much keyloggers that does all that at once. Yeah, if the NSA or LulzSec wants your BTC, you are pretty much boned. This is more just basic protection against hackers for the general public. However, I believe that the biggest threat for 99% of people is losing their wallet by not creating a backup. |

My wallet password is 'swordfish'. How secure is that? Do you recommend I change it?
Pretty much this:  Blank document trick is old,and keyloggers are too,people mostly use stealers or formgrabber these days and that document method is not effective with formgrabbers.
However using a keyscrambler is better than typing gibberish words on blank document.
I think formgrabber is mostly for online passwords and web browsers, but Im not a security expert, just an enthusiast. Keyscrambler sounds good. |

https://howsecureismypassword.net/https://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspxIf you have more than a few BTC, anything less than "Best" is unacceptable - that should be your starting point. Having a password of "larry123" is like leaving your wallet and banking info laying out in the street. Just. Dont. Do it!Ideally use letters, numbers, and symbols in combination. Something like @@@@@applebeesmakesmevomit12345&&&&& is pretty secure and easy to remember: 5 symbols twice, 5 numbers once, and a phrase you wont forget. But you can do much better: using the maximum amount of variation in the characters and words that arent in the dictionary, upper AND lowercase, and avoiding sequences like 12345 make for even stronger passwords: *@%#!59771bLoRgBrAbBlEfLaPpEr87651*@%#! is virtually uncrackable. Again, all you have to remember here is one series of symbols, two sets of numbers, and one gibberish phrase in alternating upper and lowercase. Also consider using a password manager. Read more here: http://www.trackvia.com/blog/productivity/how-to-make-uncrackable-passwords-you-can-rememberhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/passwords-create.aspxhttp://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/06/the-ultimate-guide-for-creating-strong-passwords/Also, always create multiple backups, usually 2-3 USB flash drives are fine for small amounts, but if you have a lot of BTC or LTC, you will usually want to use more than one wallet to spread it out over, and back up the keys for each wallet multiple times to multiple physical locations. I advise against using online wallets. Use extra hard drives, flash drives, your phone, your girlfriend's laptop, whatever. As long as your password is very secure, you wont ever need to worry. Just back that shit up. Because if the wallet is lost, having an uncrackable password cant help you. If you do this, the chances of your bitcoins being lost or stolen is very low - just dont forget your password!

Well, personally I like keeping my coins high and dry in a cold wallet with a stupid long password. I sleep like a baby.

Anything involving Ripple is pretty much a waste of time at best, or a scam at worst.

Nice! It does affect play a bit, if I know I can win a couple buyins by hitting a Royal, Im probably not gonna shove the flop. But thats OK, cause Im getting called by top pair all day anyway, and always bricking! I havent hit a Royal on Seals yet, so clearly Ive been holding out for this promo |

Humble Bundles are awesome and its for a good cause. Pay in BTC, and its a Win-Win-Win, those are rare. |

More businesses need to accept it. Thats the real driving factor. Products and services.
Ask if you can pay in Bitcoins. Demand that you be able to pay in Bitcoins. This is the only way.
