Cool. I don't have any other smart device other than a computer, so I installed JAuth and set it up so that *everything* requires authentication now. Whew! Glad I found this thread. I feel a lot safer now.
One newbie question left though - how do I backup the "secret sauce" that JAuth requires to do the authentication? I don't want to be locked out of my account if my hard drive crashes.
Ah nevermind, I see that I just need to re-do it, and this time make a backup of the GoogleAuth code ( and GPG that backup as well of course using my master key  ) As a shareholder... I'm breathing a sigh of relief as well.  |

I don't do a lot of trading but when I do it is to increase my bitcoin holdings. I mine within my means so that I don't have to sell bitcoins to pay for power. I could easily afford to lose my investment without much harm or loss but the upside for 5-10 years down the road holds a lot of potential. Some call it hoarding, I call it savings.
I agree, it's totally a "hobby" for me right now. I've spent more on other hobbies. Mind me asking when you started mining? I'm just curious if people are still jumping into the game. I started about June. I see you have 22 posts, so welcome if you are new to it. I encourage you to continue posting! Thanks, I've lurked for a while but just signed up here recently. I started solo mining on my laptop in jan or feb of 2010. People will jump into the game as it suits their own interests. I like the way mining bitcoin at this point does not incentivize huge monopolizing mining farms with the 2.XXXXXXXX price as the most are unlikely to want to speculate with so much equipment and electricity cost, yet it does encourage cooperation of smaller rigs in pools and thus wider distribution for those without time pressures. |

Finally got a chance to listen. Great Job!

There is really little anyone can do to stop bitcoin from being maligned by the ignorant or the financially interested. It already has been and is going to be for a long time. No sense in beating around the bush because in the end there will be as much or more gain in adoption from bad press as good. I guarantee there are more than a few "establishment types" who will publicly discredit but privately use the bitcoin network.
Knock 'em dead Roger!

Pet Rock Anyone? (NMC)
Personally I believe NMC has as much or greater real-world use potential as BTC. I think the idea of a decentralized naming system is revolutionary and amazing, and could enable the concept of smart property. As to the OP, I'm currently betting on $1.65. agreed disagreed, it will Never go below 2$. I should have specified I was agreeing with the view on NMC as an idea, not BTC price. |

Bitcoin isn't gold but it does seem to have more similarities with it than with fiat, especially concerning distribution. Fiat is always loaned into existence at interest, is distributed only through tightly controlled "approved" centralized channels and therefore contains the seeds of its own eventual destruction. Bitcoin, like gold must be mined by someone who has the capital, technical know how, etc to compete and discover some from a finite and ever diminishing quantity. These fundamental changes in distribution are important when considering how it may affect the greater economy in terms of savings, investment and freedom of access to the distributed commodity.
+1 Where gold and bitcoin differ is transactions. Bitcoin can be sent around the world for little or no fee in a very short amount of time. Gold involves customs, shipping insurance, and risk of theft. Yes, that and very high divisibility to allow for precision plus easy quantitative assessment make bitcoin vastly superior to gold as a unit of transaction. |

Bitcoin certainly takes much less technical proficiency to secure and assay than gold even at this early stage in development. I'd say that is a strength as far as properties that create value go.

I guess I am an early adopter as I cpu mined thousands of bitcoin back in early 2010.
I'm jealous. I wish I had heard of bitcoin earlier. There is still plenty of opportunity. Early adoption phase is far from over for those who are looking to innovate and add value. |

I took off in the middle of the night to correct low hashing power. Ended up upgrading the kernel and miner version so along with waiting to see how it turned out I was away for a couple hours. My GF is very understanding |

silverfuture here from Canada. I guess I am an early adopter as I cpu mined thousands of bitcoin back in early 2010. I am still mining, investing, transacting, and speculating for a silver future (no, I am not just interested in being rich from bitcoin as I had encountered bitcoin due to my interest in economics and am really more interested in it's social impact). I guess I finally decided to join the party but have been lurking for a long time.
