Elwar, Ok, so if I understand correctly, bitcoionqt will send the coins to a new address that I will have immediate access to on the qt app and basically clean out the paper wallet. So basically no coins are lost but the paper wallet address should be discarded Is that correct? Thanks again  . Pablo. Yes, you would have full access to all of your funds in the qt app. If you send all of your funds back to the public address on your paper wallet you can continue to use it (just the same way you would send BTC to any other address). Or you could just use your bitcoinqt. |

1. If I import my private key to bitcoinqt and I have 10 BTC in there and I only spend 3 BTC, will I then permanently loose access to the other 7 BTC?
When you spend that 3 out of 10 BTC from bitcoinqt, bitcoinqt will create a new address in your bitcoinqt wallet and the 7 BTC will be sent to that address. So now your bitcoinqt wallet will have 2 addresses, your original address and a new address with the 7 BTC (actually I think some of the BTC stays in your original address but I will not complicate things). What you can then do is go back into bitcoinqt and send 7 BTC to your original address. You can then delete your wallet file if you want once the transfer goes through. You now have 7 BTC on your original address. 2. Is the only solution to this to spend all my paper wallet coins to another wallet like blockchain.info and get organised from there? It would work the same as using your bitcoinqt. But the point of having a paper wallet is mainly to keep your private key off of your computer and the Internet to avoid someone stealing it. |

When you spend from any address...it sends all of the bitcoins from that address, not just the small amount you want to spend.
It then returns your change to another address.
Sorta like spending $6 but only having a 10 dollar bill. You cannot just spend $6 of that $10. You get 4 new dollars.
I have run across this myself as I tend to keep most of my BTC in a single address. When I spend anything from that address it will return change to the wallet I am using in different addresses.
What I tend to do is then send the contents of my wallet to that address. That way it re-combines all of my BTC to that single address.
This is useful for long term storage of your bitcoins.
Treat your cold storage as you would a savings account or a CD. Keep a small amount of spending money in an online wallet (I usually keep 1 BTC or so in MtGox to spend when I need to).

I have about 20% in bitcoin loans.
I definitely need to start looking into stock investments.
Any suggested sites?

Yes. I was wondering when someone would mention this. As seen on top of this forum for the past few months: News: All users of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind versions 0.7.2 and earlier are required to upgrade to 0.8.1 or apply a manual workaround by May 15. http://bitcoin.org/may15.html15 May 2013 Upgrade Deadline
What is happening
If you are using an old version of Bitcoin-Qt (or bitcoind, the server bitcoin software), you must either upgrade to version 0.8.0 or later before May 15, 2013, upgrade to an up-to-date "backport" release, or modify a file and restart bitcoin to work around a bug with the old software.
This bug does not affect any bitcoins you already have, but if you do nothing you will be out of sync with the rest of the Bitcoin network and will be unable to receive bitcoins (payments sent to you will look like they never get confirmed, or will be confirmed very slowly). You also risk being the victim of a "double-spend" attack, where somebody sends you bitcoins that the rest of the network would reject as invalid.
We recommend that you upgrade to version 0.8.1 before the 15th of May to avoid any issues. If you are a solo miner or mining pool operator, please see the the notes at the end of this page for how to upgrade safely.
If you cannot upgrade to version 0.8.1
If you cannot upgrade to the latest version, backports to older branches are now in final testing. These include not only compatibility for the 15 May changes, but also fixes for known vulnerabilities and bugs, which have already been included and tested in the latest release.
If you cannot upgrade to a backport
If you cannot upgrade to any of the above, you can still avoid the problem. Create a file called DB_CONFIG in the bitcoin data directory, containing this line:
set_lk_max_locks 537000
Look here if you need help finding the bitcoin data directory.
Miners/mining pool operators
If you are creating new blocks (you are a solo miner or mining pool operator), then you should be aware that upgrading from 0.7 to 0.8 requires a lengthy re-indexing operation; you must wait for the reindex to complete before serving work to miners.
And if you are creating blocks and cannot upgrade to version 0.8.1 or a backport for some reason, you should not set_lk_max_locks in a DB_CONFIG file until May 15th; if you increase locks before then you run the risk of creating or building on blocks incompatible with the rest of the network.
Why this is necessary
A bug caused a temporary block chain fork on 11 March, 2013. After investigating that bug, we determined that the bug can happen even if the entire network was still running old versions of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind. Therefore, the only option is to require everybody to either upgrade or workaround the bug.

Honestly tell me something he did while he was a president??Cant name a damn thing.
How's this? http://whattheheckhasobamadonesofar.comNot all of it is good. Like the slew of regulations. But the student loan thing, the nuclear reduction thing, the pro-gay things and pro-women's rights things, and the pro-science things were good. There are definitely a lot of things that he did. That's likely part of the reason he got reelected. spending, spending, spending, regulation, spending, spending... |

Once the price of ASICs come down, it would be great to have people able to buy a TV box that they plug into their network and to the TV.
You would have a menu of potential TV shows and movies. When you select the show you want to watch, it sends your accumulated bitcoins to the bittorrent user that loaded up the torrent.
As people choose similar shows, the box can just queue up the next show that most people pick after the show you picked. So it would be like watching a full TV channel.
And by sending BTC to the uploaders, people will be encouraged to create their own content in exchange for BTC.
Sure, plenty of people would upload ripped movies and Hollywood TV shows, but Hollywood will become a thing of the past. New, decentralized content will be the wave of the future.

You will likely be able to go into Best Buy in the next few years and buy an ASIC miner, cheap.

What to make of it?
It reads almost like criteria for a new software system presented to various agencies and before going ahead with the system they wanted to make sure they would not run into any legal problems moving forward and in exchange, a few new government positions would be created to be funded along with the new project. Everything CISPA wants to create can sorta be done now. Private companies can spy on you. Google can collect information on you. Facebook can collect information on you. They can sell that information to the government. The government can even tell them specifically what kind of information they are looking for and those companies can focus on those specific sets of criteria. What the government cannot do, currently (sorta), is directly spy on you via those companies. It is one of those... government: "hey google, if you happen to be logging everyone's e-mail and if you were to happen upon someone talking about not paying their taxes...we would be willing to pay for that. but we're not telling you to go search for that information...*wink* *wink*" |

The fact that those same people keep getting elected has changed my mindset from thinking I should be helping Americans to be more free to realizing that they do not want to be free. It was not so much Obama winning as Ron Paul losing, twice...when people actually heard a voice of liberty and turned their back on it, or worse...openly attacked it.
That the best approach is to foster those things which allow the few among us who actually crave freedom to have a vehicle to do so.

Here ya are: http://bitcoin-analytics.com/You can donate to me here (though its not my site, I just spent the time to actually search for it and post it here ...) BTC: 1NWtonHHgXctJ2Vk25L1JvJLjAeWg2ZvhS The prices are also listed on bitcoincharts. I am talking about factoring in the cost of going from bank to actual bitcoin purchase. Their arbitrage page is cool but I am not a day trader. I just want to move my government money to bitcoins in a way that gives me the most bitcoins possible. |

I do not have time to do this but it would be quite helpful.
Basically a website you go to. You choose what bank you use (or manually enter the wire transfer fees, domestic/foreign, of your own bank), your country and choose the amount of money you want to spend on buying bitcoins.
The site would then produce a table sorted by the most bitcoins you can get for that amount of money with some information on how long it will take for the transfer.
It would need to factor in volume based upon the amount you want to spend (a site may have a low sell price of $110 but that is only 1 BTC and the next higher trade price is $120).
You could put up a donation link, but you may actually get some real value by having a chart of people coming to your site letting you know how much they plan on spending on bitcoin in the near future. You can set up a trade bot to react accordingly.

Baby steps. They must have seen how many people were wanting exchanges to be more decentralized so they went after MtGox to help us all move on to many other exchanges.
Thanks DHS.
