The price may suddenly crash, it takes time to confirm the transaction if you are buying from a physical store. -ranochigo

Create a cold and hot wallet, place low amount in hot wallet, only transfer from cold wallet when you need it and put most of the BTC in the cold wallet. -ranochigo

i had the bitcoins in my QT wallet stolen. here is how it happened: it was during the November bubble and some guy posted an altcoin miner (i think YAC) but it was really a virus and it drained my BTC wallet. that was a huge bummer!
Thats why I dont download any alt coin wallets. ? I believe free anti virus would take care of that problem, so you won't miss the Alt coin mining Anti virus cannot cover all of the viruses, some are FUD so they cannot be detected. Free anti virus means that it will cover even less, not such a good idea. -ramochigo

No, if I you have a cold offline wallet then not possible.
HOWEVER, if you do not take sufficient security measure when creating a cold wallet, it is possible to get hacked.

The normal fees range is between the 0.0001-0.0005 area "0.0001 does just fine for regular transaction". If you choose some lower fees you would need to wait more "up to days".
AFAIK, if your transaction is more than 0.01 and old enough, it will be confirmed soon even without a fee. -ranochigo

Generate a paper wallet from a offline linux computer that has never and will never touch the internet. and never use an offchain/third-party wallet, always have full access to your coins. -ranochigo
I do this. I boot up Ubuntu via a USB key using "try it now" instead of a full installation. I have a local copy of bitaddress.org saved. Then I generate some addresses and save to a USB key. Copy public addresses then stash away the USB key. This way, the private addresses never gets online. That works quite well, the whole process doesn't let the computer touch the internet. -snip-
+1 for cold storage (creating and maintaining your wallet in a device with no internet connection). BTW, it is so ironic to see this advice from TF lol. At least he didn't say to put it at third party wallet service..

So can someone break this down for me?
Whats the minimum to not wait so long. 0.01?
For the fee? 0.0001 BTC. The 0.01 BTC note was made for sending a minimum of that much out (as then you don't need ANY fee and it will still go through without issues). It would be slower than those who have fees isn't it? If you want it to confirm within 1-3 blocks, use 0.0001 as transaction fees. -ranochigo

Hello, I am interested in joining this.

Hmm... so the transaction is yet to get confirmed, even after close to 100 hours (more than 4 days). I was told that one of the advantages with Bitcoin was that it could be used for micro-transactions. Seems like that is not the case.
There's alot of transaction volume, most pools would give those who pays fees priority. Also, he transferred 0.0006982 bitcoins which is a dust transaction, most pool would not confirm it. -ranochigo

Can anyone tell me that how I can buy a bitcoins via Credit Card Payment.... ? I have bought small amounts at virwox. However, their fees are high and transactions can be slow as the trade volume is relatively low. Considering it accepts credit card and no verification, it is quite a good choice. -ranochigo

VPS mining is not recommanded since if you use too much resources for long periods of time, the provider can and will kick you out of the VPS. Mining is more for GPU and ASICs if you want profit. You can mine those CPU-only coins but you won't make much profit. -ranochigo

Can you please explain how "has never and will never" is better than just "will never" touch the net I guess what you said is right, but couldn't the one that have touched the internet and infected with virus affect the outcome of the address calculation? -ranochigo

If you are going to run a website, at least 30gb since the blockchain is going to get bigger and bigger. -ramochigo

Thank you for all your response, I have read through the sources and learned more about bitcoin. -ranochigo

Remember, with every purchase there is a risk. Treat the BTC / USD market as the stock market. It can go up and down. There could be a massive sell-off of 1 million coins tomorrow, and quite literally take the market down at least 40-50%.
It's worse than the stock market. This is basically a rogue area still. Anyone can do almost anything. There is no "insider trading." People can openly manipulate the market, etc. It's rewarding, to be sure, but it's also very dangerous. I have saw a few price crashes, it is indeed quite risky. I'm going to use the funds that I don't need to use to buy some bitcoin. I think this is a risk I can take. -ranochigo

Well I dont think that its any secret trick, its very easy to spam in regional boards and be safe, the mods are not so strict over there. Everyone's a hypocrite. What else is new? Are you the real TradeFortress or did he sell you that account?
Well I think he's the real one. Why do you think THE TRADE FORTRESS would sell his account?? VIP status, hero member, negative trust. Perfect for a rich troll. -ranochigo

2 things to note :-
1. Whoever is quoting TradeFortress, please note that u r quoting an image and the image source is controlled by TradeFortress. So, at a time, when u wont look back to the topic, those images may get replaced by something as his will and your quotes will also carry that. If it is replaced by the Silk Road 2.0 URL ...U may be in trouble.
2. There is no point in pointing what Davout is doing in French board. He is the Mod over there. Moreover, Davout does not have a paid sig. He is advertising his own company.
Just so you know, images are now proxied. They appear as if they were from the forums. Your first point is invalid. Do you understand what a proxy means? If TF updates the images, the proxy will update the image as well. Thus your argument is invalid. +1 I just found it interesting... so sharing here. Till now all posted made by TF can be found using the URL http://198.27.102.170/talk/v?i=x where x=1,15 I wonder what is the i/p URL here from where he is entering the text ? I tried to PM TF regarding this, but it seems I'm blocked. Just want to confirm that... 1. is it only me that TF has blocked or 2. I cant PM anyone with -ve feedback or 3. TF has blocked anyone to PM him He have likely blocked everyone since people would be asking him about how is he spending the 4100++ BTC. Does he control the IP address or is it a image hosting? Is there plans to make every image uploaded unchangeable? It seems to be quite dangerous. -ranochigo
