吴老伯卖了三十年的葱油饼。推车叫卖时,他办足手续,却因”影响市容“被取缔;买来早点车经营时,又被告知需要固定店铺;今年因口味爆红后,却又因为无照经营引来一场风波。三十年里,一个葱油小铺缘何会有如此曲折的经营历程?未来它又将何去何从?-------------想着法子折腾人,变相的收钱。他们总是很有道理,因为他们掌握道理,他们创造道理,他们改变道理,他们粉饰道理,总之他们的道理你不得不听。

    近段时间,有关成都火车站、机场等公共场所使用X射线人体安检仪对旅客实施照射检查的消息,引起市民广泛关注,人们担心该安检仪对人体健康造成伤害。
    成都铁路局发布博文称,前期,鉴于反恐防暴压力和避免旅客排长队进站,成都铁路局租用了安徽启路达光电科技有限公司37台人体安全检查仪,确保广大旅客安全出行。
    近日,公众对人体安全检查仪安全性提出疑虑。为回应社会公众关切,成都铁路局要求该公司尽快邀请权威机构和技术专家就人体安全检查仪的安全性等进行检测、评审,并向社会作出解答。加强改进人体安全检查仪的使用和管理工作,在醒目位置配齐设备微量辐射警示、安检查危“双通道”等标识标记,明确告知旅客人体安全检查仪存在微量辐射及专业机构的检测报告和检验认证,正确引导旅客安检查危。同时,加大安检人员力量投入,充分尊重旅客个人意愿,由旅客自主选择人工安检通道或人体安全仪检查通道。主动引导“老、幼、病、残、孕”等重点旅客,通过人工安检通道进行安检查危。
成都铁路局将按照政府部门的要求和社会公众、专业机构的意见,选择安全、科学、高效的安检查危方式。
方圆两三米之外才没有辐射吧!

I prefer the linear ones because more focus can be put into story and gameplay instead of filling the "sandbox" with sidequests and collectibles.
I say open world. With games like Second Son, exploring the world was beautiful, seeing new stuff, you can go to the main story anytime, and such. Open World games are nice, with different events happening anytime and look at Skyrim, Dying Light, they have more content then any liner game with no limits and most of all day/night cycles are great for these types of game.
Can not handle the confines of a linear game no matter how good the story, if i want an amazing story experience i'll read a book or watch a movie.

Hi! i'm a bitcoin newbie here How can I earn Bitcoins fast and free?? thanks for the help   Cheesy
1. ChangeTip  While Bitcoin costs over $200, it can be divided into really small fractions, one hundredth of a millionth of Bitcoin. They are called satoshis, and every single one of them currently equals less than one millionth of a dollar. Thus, it has been known a perfect solution for micropayments. The idea has been used by a Reddit-based service called ChangeTip (which then migrated to Twitter< YouTube, and Facebook). We have already had a post about this phenomenon in our blog.
Tipping works in a completely different way than other ways of how to get Bitcoins for free. The idea is that you post some content, and the users decide whether they find it useful or appealing to their interests. Then they determine how much they will pay. On Reddit, most tips are very small, usually close to a few cents. However, some generous tippers prefer being courteous enough to send a few dollars.
There is some serious criticism about the tipping system. Many believe that sending someone two cent is impolite, if not offensive. On the other hand, there is always the fun of using ‘monikers’ (names employed instead of particular amounts of coins) when you get tips in ‘donuts’, ‘coffees’, ‘lunches’, or ‘martinis’.
2. Visiting websites or doing small tasks   Another way of receiving small amounts of coins is visiting Bitcoin-related websites or doing small tasks on the web. There are numerous websites which provide this opportunity to earn some free microBitcoins. For example, you can see BitVisitor or FaucetBTC. It can be anything that you get paid for, from just visiting the pages and staying on them during a certain amount of time to playing games and doing surveys. You can do the latter on BitcoinGet and BitcoinReward.
3. How to get free Bitcoins fast with Faucets  A popular word in the Bitcoin community is ‘faucet’. In other words, faucets can be called just giveaways. They work on the principle described above – you earn your free coins with a predetermined regularity, for example, every 5 minutes, or every day. The websites offer absolutely different kinds of activities for which users get paid.
While a few faucets offer fixed amounts of coins, other provide satoshis within a particular range. For example, FreeBitco.in offers payments in between 300-something satoshis to 0.3 BTC, and on Crococoin, you have a chance to win an entire Bitcoin. A majority of websites will offer visiting pages, watching videos, or even playing games.
Faucet is an important part of any respectable dice website in the crypto community. On sites like DiceCoin.io, you receive 0.00001 BTC or 1,000 satoshis every five minutes, but on the condition that your balance is empty. There is a similar condition on PrimeDice, but the amounts are smaller – 0.000002 BTC. Of course, you can multiply your coins by making bets and being lucky.
4. The Risky Way: Gambling  Bitcoin is thought to be perfect for gambling. First of all, it allows making small bets, which is good when you play for fun or as a hobby. As it has been highlighted above, one of Bitcoin’s strong parts is that it is highly divisible. You simply cannot deposit one cent in a real casino and start gambling with it, but you can do that when playing for Bitcoin (or Bitcoin fractions).
One of the most popular gambling websites for Bitcoins is SatoshiDice with Erik Voorhees as its creator. It is unique because you can play even without using their website – you just send the transaction to a particular address, and then you see whether you won anything or not.
Numerous poker sites, casino sites, slots, etc. are also to your service. Many of them offer faucets, but, in general, you have to know how to get free Bitcoins fast on your own. You can apply your own winning strategy or just follow your intuition. While you might be an experienced gambler, you should always be cautious and not bet more than you can allow losing.
5. Getting Bitcoins through Trading  Trading is one of the most popular ways to start earning a crypto-fortune. In some ways, it is similar to gambling, especially in the world of cryptocurrencies where the price of a coin might change in a blink of an eye. However, trading is more like a science with its methods, strategies, and tools. Many people regard trading as their main activity which allows them earn a pretty good living.
If you want to know how to get bitcoins for free with trading, you should keep your nose in the wind and follow the guidelines. A skill that every successful trader should have is the ability to read charts. We have made a compilation of essentials that you might want to read prior to joining traders. Read it here.
20  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet on: June 11, 2016, 02:17:49 AM
-= Small Edit: If you need something which is very secure and grandma-style easy, go vote on this poll and add your thoughts to the discussion. =-

Note: I can only post in the newbie forum for now, but if a moderator deems this topic useful, he may move it somewhere else. Right now, I'm too lazy to get 5 posts, just for the sake of it.

Also, there is an excellent article on the Wiki which should give you some ideas about the problem of security. This is meant as a more specific and simple straight-forward guide, i.e I won't spell out where you can find your wallet.dat and so on.


Why?

So, in light of the recent /19BSM]Drama Roll Eyes Kiss and my general feeling that some people are unsure about the security of their wallet (or their PC in general), I've decided to give you an idea how to create a secure savings account for you to deposit your hard-earned coins in.

Clarifications

So, you crazy twat want to invest all your savings in bitcoin, but you're not yet shit-for-brains enough to forget the security aspect of the whole thing? Here's the HowTo for you.

So, the first misconception to clear out, is the concept of the "wallet". The wording in itself is not ideal, since it is more like a key. Cryptographically speaking, it is actually exactly that: your private key.

Now this has the following implication: If someone steals your wallet.dat now, and you deposit coins in it later, the thief will be able to spend/transfer ALL your coins, including those you added _after_ the wallet was stolen! I'm sure a lot of you know this already, I just want to clarify this for everybody.

So, clearly, you have to make it impossible for anybody to _ever_ steal your wallet. Clearly, this is infeasible for your day-to-day transactions account, since encryption will be useless as soon as you want to access your coins (Since the decrypted wallet.dat has to be stored in RAM at some point. There are ways, but for now, consider them a little tedious).

So the solution is the following: you have your spendings-account where you keep only low amounts of coin (much like a real-life wallet), and you have your super-secure savings wallet, which you only access on rare occasions.

How?

I'll try to keep it short: You have to create your savings account under ideal security-conditions. I won't rant about you cunts people using Windows in general, but note that Linux is in no way automagically completely secure. Everything depends a lot on your behaviour.

1. What you'll do is the following: Create a live-CD or a bootable USB with your OS of choice on it. I suggest using the Ubuntu LiveCD.

The reason is simple. When you create your new wallet, you want to make abolutely sure, that your running operating system doesn't in any way log your keys or secretly save your files somewhere.

2. Boot your freshly-created OS, and install the Bitcoin client on it. Yes you can install software inside a liveCD environment. Optionally, also install some encryption software, but we'll leave that for now.

3. Your Bitcoin client will immediately generate 10 addresses for you, and with them, the corresponding wallet.dat.

4. Save your addresses somewhere, if you have to, write them down manually (if you do this, then I bow to your zeal and declare you crazy). I suggest you send them to yourself over email.

5. This is the important step. Copy your wallet.dat somewhere. Burn then on a CD or another medium. I for instance love those little 64MB SD-cards you sometimes get with a new camera. They rock. You might want to make multiple copies (on multiple cards/CDs, not multiple copies of the same file on the same disk you tart).

6. Now, eject whatever you just copied on, and guard it like your life depends on it. Not really, but here is the important step: If you encrypted your wallet.dat with an encryption algorithm you feel safe about, just keep it around your house.

7. Shut down. There will be no trace of your walled.dat on your harddisk, since it never actually resided there.

Important: You will want to keep another copy somewhere else, in a safe physical location, or at least one that is safe while your house burns down. You might already know it, but losing your wallet.dat is worse than someone stealing it. It'll be gone forever.

If you didn't encrypt the file (which I prefer), put the SDcards, CDs, whatever in a safe. That's right: a real-world safe, like banks have, who also happen to lock their doors and are in general very anal about their security and all that jazz. You can rent small safety-deposit boxes in exchange for money. As a bonus, it'll be fire-proof as well.

8. In case it's not yet obvious: You will now only make day-to-day transactions like you used to do it, on your computer (are you _still_ using windows?) and every now and then, you will put some coins into your savings-account. Using the addresses from step 4). How much you want to keep in your wallet is up to you.

But how can I haz my money back?

Okay, for those of you who didn't guess it yet: Whenever you want to make a transaction from your savings-account to someplace else, get your wallet.dat out of the safe, boot up your liveCD (don't you dare using your regular OS after all this work, or I'll come beat you up personally) and do the reverse: Install bitcoin again, install the encryption-software if necessary and copy your wallet.dat where it belongs.

Congratulations: you can now access your 25'000 bitcoins and nobody will have messed with them while you were asleep.

Possible attacks

So now, the _only_ way for someone to steal your coin, will be to steal your physical copy of the wallet. That's why you might want to encrypt it, although if you do, don't forget the passphrase. Also, if you die, your family can still get your bank-safe opened, but they won't be able to pick through your brain and get the passphrase out of it. That's why I prefer to not encrypt it.

There is one more possibility: a physical keylogger: It will be able to intercept the password you use to encrypt your wallet.dat, which, if you keep a copy at home, can then be stolen and used. Another reason, why a regular safe is the best option in my humble opinion.

What else?

EDIT: A little protip for those who don't know: You can of course use blockexplorer.com to keep track of your account while it's safely hidden away. Doing this will simply allow you to see how many coins are associated with a given address.

I suggest you also create new day-to-day wallets (even having a few coins stolen can be frustrating), as your current ones might already have been stolen. Of course, this requires a secure OS, so you better ditch that infected piece of shit fine gear of yours. DON'T just create new wallets on the system you're using right now, since it won't solve anything in case you're already infected.

In addition, it doesn't hurt to read up on some technical details. Use the Wiki. Learn the difference between the amount in your wallet, and the amount on the different block-addresses. If you handle a lot of money, ACT ACCORDINGLY. Don't get all crazy-enthusiastic-venture-capitalist and invest all your savings in bitcoin. Also, don't speculate too much on the price development, you'll make more money if you use that time to work at a regular job.

Now, if you happen to make/have made a significant amount of coins, don't run around telling everybody like the self-satisfied vagina that you are. You wouldn't do that with real money either. At least I hope so.

Also, someone will probably make a bitcoin-specific liveCD, which should save some hassle in the steps above.
Also, take it easy and be a cool guy woh doesn't afraid of anything.
Also, pick up a book every now and then.


Yes, there are other ways to do this, and yes, some might be more practical and maybe just as secure. Write a comment about it.

If anyone has any clarifications, questions, suggestions, or wants to call me a moron, please feel free to do so, and I'll see if there is anything to be improved about it. Also, spelling mistaeks.

Also, in case anybody got all excited by this guide and/or seen the light of Jesus-Christ the saviour AND wants to thank me with coins (why on earth would you do that?), here's my address: 16VD78R8nxqJGesE7E9KS6A8TikQQpKNm5

Have fun. Cool

EDIT: Corrections and added a few insults just for you, dear anonymous reader.
USB wallets are pretty popular and more affordable devices. These devices protect your data and use similar micro-processor chips that credit cards use. These typically allow you to go between a variety of computers and your device will establish a secure connection.
