I understand the concept of opening a payment channel were you commit with a fixed amount of BTC, transfer freely between parties, then broadcast to the network. I also understand there will be a minimum amount to of BTC to open a payment channel.

What happens if you just have enough money in your whole balance to buy a coffee for, let's say, 0.00001 BTC?

If you have to use someones elses payment channel to get through, how is it decided how much fee are you paying the channel owner?

If you can't spend small amounts, then how will it solve micro-transactions, or having unusable wallets with amounts smaller than fees?

Thanks!

I just sent a payment of 0.42280363 and it says I have 3.57719637 unconfirmed BTC  

Why is this happening?

So my Windows HD is not starting and i dont have time to deal with it, I have another HD with hackintosh where I can see all my windows files in the other HD. If I download Armory for MAC, how can import my Armory wallet from windows without opening it?

I have a paper wallet but I'd prefer not to use it.

Thanks!

I open Armory, it synchonizes with network ok, but when it has to start the build databases part, a windows message appears saying it stopped working and i have to close the program.
I updated my Armory version to the last one, also updated bitcoinqt, but nothing happened.

Please any help would be appreciated, I need my wallet!

I know it's possible someone already asked this before, but I would really appreciate a step-by-step guide, since I'm afraid of doing something wrong and losing my bitcoins. Can anyone help me?

I've built a mining rig with my own PC back in 2011, but I'm trying to build more (for litecoin or others) and I'm not sure how to leave the rig without any monitor at all. I know how to put dummy plugs to cheat the PC of the cards being connected, but how do I dummy plug all the cards and take out the monitor to leave the cards working without having to leave the monitor conected to the rig?

Is there any special thing I need to know for this?

Suddenly its stopped changing its value like it has been for long time. Whats happening?

Is it possible to implement this on the pools? I think its strange that none of the pools has this yet. It would be great to have the option to automatically payout the btc every 24 hours, to have an exact and precise view of our daily winning every day.

If I put 2 VGAs in a motherboard that has two PCIe x16 slot (so I dont have to user risers or anything strange) and I put them in corssfire.

Can I disable the crossfire so I can mine with each VGA individually, so I get to mine with 2 VGA's without using any dummy?

Is this possible?

Hola! Bueno viendo tantos threads sobre bitcoins dispersos en tantos foros distintos con cantidades de post exorbitantes donde a veces se hace complicado seguir el hilo o encontrar información mas especifica, se me ocurrio que podriamos tener un espacio mas ordenado donde discutir las diferentes cuestiones sobre bitcoin y todo a su alrededor. Asi que bueno, espero que se copen y entre todos podamos compartir información interesante.

So Im actually mining with a 6850 cyclone in my own PC, with a P8P67 Deluxe wichI think it has like 4 PCI-e. Im getting a new 5830 in 2 weeks, and then a 5850.

I've just made the dummy plug, the resistors are 68 ohms, but I noticed that the wires are thinner than the pictures I saw of other dummys. Is this ok? The blue thing is also much smaller than the ones i saw around on some forums
I've also been told than I NEED to put some thermal insulation (aislante termico in spanish) in the wires cause if they touch themselves I can kill my card. Has anyone done this already?

Here some pics of the dummy i made:

I dont want to buy them and then kill them for not knowing such a stupid thing, sorry for asking this but I have to be sure about it hehe

Im actually just mining with and 6850 Cyclone at 231 Mhash with the core clock at 925, running stable at 63°

I was planning on getting a 5850 to put in the same PC with a VGA dummy to mine, but I was wondering if it would be better for me to just buy another 6850. What do you recommend?

I decided I want to invest in bitcoins so I want to buy some. My idea is to get at least 100 or 200 bitcoins. I can pay with paypal, or maybe credit card. I would with cash also, but Its hard to find someone to buy here in my place. Whats the best place to buy bitcoins for the best value possible? I know right now the value is like 2.80 USD. My idea is to buy maybe at 2 USD or 2.5 USD max value.

Any help would be greatly apprecciated
