Thanks. I've had some SD card issues in the past with Pi. Although I'm sure it was (partially) user error. Good luck on your project. I see the turn-key natural being appealing.

I'm writing this exact tutorial at the moment, you could use Win32 Disk Imager (also available for linux). And that other device also has to be offline to have true cold storage?

I checked, my blockchain does not behave how you are describing by default. It seems you can have addresses sent from without them being empty afterwards. The original program seems more intuitive to me in this regard. What you reference about sending the balance in an address to a new address is safer I believe: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=334399.0 -- due to the fact that you have never used the new addresses private key. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=334399.0

Does your new address show up under "my addresses" with that balance? (Down arrow icon)

Quote from: 7Priest7 on December 17, 2013, 02:05:38 AM The Forbes author is a idiot. Quote from: Page 2 of Forbes article in OP An example, Bob starts with 1 bitcoin and makes a million day trades in 2013. Bob is a bitcoin stud and turns 1 bitcoin into 1,000 bitcoins. Bob earned 999 bitcoins or $999,000 dollars (assuming each bitcoin is worth $1,000 dollars). Bob owes $381.314 dollars in federal income taxes, not including state and local taxes. Thus, Bob needs to cash out enough bitcoins (about 381 bitcoins) to pay his taxes. According to the idiot bob needs $381,000USD worth of BTC to pay $381.314 in taxes. Either the author used a period where he intended a comma or his math is awful. This author clearly is a inept fool and should not be taken seriously. Yeah those are kind of important details when dealing with things, such as, money...

Quote from: bitcoinrocks on December 17, 2013, 01:04:03 AM "Bitcoins are everywhere and possibly nowhere. This was something I've been thinking a lot about. Is the value with the private key or in the block chain? Is the block chain simply the ledger? Or is it more akin to the The Island Of Stone Money (Yap).

I think mid 50K by this time next year. this reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania I see what you mean on a speculation caused bubble, but what would you do with tulips in the 1600's? Grow them into flowers or trade them in the future (for more money hopefully). Take away the speculation use and a flower doesn't have tremendous value to me (not at the cost of a hard year's work as a craftsman). Now when I compare that to Bitcoin, I can think of thousands of uses for it other than future trading at an increased value. Anyone else feel the same? What excites me about Bitcoin is not the speculation part at all.
