Hmmm...I click on that "view at blockexplorer.com" button and it says "transaction not found".  I suppose I need to follow up with the guys who tried to send the btc....

I fixed the link and all the info is there now.  Thanks for replying.

I've decided to empty out my Multibit wallet and move everything to the wallet you create at blockchain.info.  It seems to be more secure with 2-factor authentication and stuff like that...so, please discuss:

1 - is blockchain.info a secure place to store my bitcoins?

2 - how come the transaction below is unconfirmed?  How do I fix that?



I'm a noob, sorry.  Thanks for your help.

Ummm...wow.  10 btc/month is like $6k.  I make considerably more than that, but a fraction comes in btc.  Anyways, not sure why some of you think I'm trolling.  I appreciate the advice and will look into the storage suggestions.

I have an email newsletter called "The No Deposit Bonus Newsletter".  I won't post links or anything, but you can google that if you want.  I work with 400+ different casinos.  500k+ people have opted in to get my emails.  Bitstarz is the only btc-focused casino i work with, but more and more of them are adopting btc.  I've only accidentally stumbled into btc, to be honest.  But now I need to learn. Okay, this 5 minutes between posting thing is a pain...

Several of you have suggested charity.  WTF is wrong with you? I'm trying to build a legacy for my kids and their kids and their kids.

Oh, and if anyone knows why I have one transaction that still isn't "spendable", that would be helpful.  I don't know what to do about that.  And thanks for the advice everyone.  I appreciate it.

Guys, let me clarify:  certain customers of mine (Bodog, for example) will now only pay me in BTC, so I had to set up a wallet.  I have about 30 BTC now and roughly 10 coming in each month.  My guy instinct is to hold on to them, since I don't need the cash right now.  Here's a pic for your amusement:

Haha, no, i've just been forced into bitcoin because a few of my clients will only pay me in bitcion now.  It makes sense though as the currency of the future.  None of the Star Wars or Star Trek movies or any sci-fi book have USD in it.  Paper money kinda seems silly now, doesn't it?  FYI i'm totally hammered and playing 3 tournaments on pokerstars...

Hmmm...okay, I make about 100k per month USD with my business.  But now a few of my clients will only pay me in BTC.  I think that's great for BTC, but I just don't know what to do with it.  I mean, eventually, there's only going to be 21M of these things, right?  Should I just hold on to them?   I wish I'd bought a shit-ton of them when they were 10 cents...whatever.

Thanks.  Paper wallet?  There are paper wallets?  I must google. More feedback welcome.  Basically, I have this BTC income stream that I don't know what to do with....

Hi everybody.  I'm a casino affiliate and a few of the programs I work with will only pay commission in BTC now.  I have about 30 BTC in Multibit, and I get about 10 BTC every month.  What should I do with it?  I don't need the money, so I could hold it indefinitely.  Is this the future?  I kinda think it is...should I just hold on to it?

So far, none.  And seeing as how I can't figure out how to create an affiliate account, that doesn't seem likely to change soon.  Weird looking site...

I do a good amount of business with Vista every month.  Good people.  I'm an affiliate.
