Me thinks this service is unhackable b/c it simply deposits into an offline wallet. And the backup of those wallets are encrypted with a 1024 bit cipher. Even they can't break through the firewall.

Wow, boyvanlindh did you recover your funds?

^^ OMG How has no one ever thought of that. I will make a shell script for this and become a bitcoin trillionaire.

/sarcasm

Looks like the best anyone can do is be bitcoin millionare since the cap is at 24Million.Looks like "Who wants to be a Millionaire" is going to need to change their name. Maybe in the future it will be. Who wants a Bitcoin!!!!! Lawl

I'm 24 and technical interest/libritarian mindset got me into bitcoin. I'm hoping to have fun using my programming skills to make bitcoin related projets and maybe make a few bitcoins along the way.

Yeah to me FinCEN is in a catch 22. They don't want to say that Bitcoin is "real money" per the original guidelines they released. Stating that virtual currencies were not money. At the same time FinCEN wants to make sure bitcoin is regulated. It seems to me that they can't regulate it without admitting that bitcoin is money.

Sense FinCEN said it was not money that means its a commodity. Which, from my understanding, means that FinCEN doesn't have juristiction over it.

Either way it seems to be a win. If FinCEN admits it's money and regulates it. It will bring legitimacy to bitcoin and people will flock in. If, on the otherhand, FinCEN doesn't admit it's money then things will continue the way they are. Mostly unregulated.

To me it seems inevitable that FinCEN will have to recognice bitcoin as money so they can draft laws for it.

If you think bitcoin is a worthy investment you should just buy in at a comfortable pace. Just like what MrMochi said. you will always feel late the the party.

Obviously if you are going to mine. Have a plan. Difficulty is going to change and your profits will drop. You don't want to get stuck with a whole bunch of GPU's you can't use.
