No reason they couldn't be chocolate.. just keep the qr inside. The foil is totally tamper-proof.

Anyhow, when you find a technique that works, you'll want to set up script of some sort to automate it. At that point I'll concede that my knowledge of batch processing exceeds my experience with bitcoin clients by 1000:1, so I can't be much direct help there.

PM'd you as well.. would be glad to help..

or if you want to have a go, i'd suggest running a search of the whole machine for wallet.dat and hope that one turns up with a pre-re-install modified date, copy that for backup, and attempt to recover by loading it into the new install and re-scanning

All this can be done without exposing the private keys.

If you're pretty sure the .old copy was overwritten somehow, copy it elsewhere for backup anyways, right-click the original for Properties, and see if you have "Previous Versions" you can restore. This feature may or may not have been set up automatically..

I've had good experiences with selling BTC for paypal with escrow.. you could always clarify in a trade that BTC won't be released until you can clear paypal funds FROM paypal (by withdrawl or purchase)..

It's not as pretty, but this might do the same job:

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like Google's a lot more selective than they used to be. I was thinking of the "Realtime" results thing they had going for a while.

Yep, that's my point. The OP's company computer was probably running something that works indiscriminately, as I've seen done. That said, WOT does now make the distinction, and dot.tk itself checks out as "Trustworthy."

The other possibility is that you are running malware that is hosts-redirecting your attempt to access dot.tk, redirecting to a spoof server that does have malware on it... do you get 77.243.130.175 when you ping dot.tk?

.tk is a bit different than other TLDs in that the one registrar has a lock on the market, and gives out domains without strong traceability. Try getting a .ca anonymously, then tell me which TLD a script kiddie would try first.

It's a legit registrar, but it's subdomains are frequently abused for spyware. WOT and the likes have cordoned off the whole .tk domain as an elevated risk of a threat, which seems more lazy than fair.

One might:
- religiously commit their passphrases to memory,
- religiously practice downloading abstinence in their stand against crypto-stealing-spyware, and
- religiously proselytize the "outsiders" to accept their faith in Bitcoin...

For those of you just realizing you're in a cult... you're not alone.

And no less, either...

America also wasn't overthrown by an army of treaty-breaking caravan-raiders based on the personal vendetta of a leader who had been rejected from it...

Even after that, the Islamic Constitution simply instituted Dhimmitude. Non-muslim subjects and slaves were forced to pay the Jizya, a humiliating protection tax. They were decidedly second-class citizens, a bit like how the MB would have it in Egypt.

Freedom was hardly the point of it, it was about keeping their ill-gotten control.

The only reason I lambaste it now is that hardly any modern Muslim would oppose the idea of instituting such a tax globally, given the chance. Stop me if I'm wrong...

That's so humanitarian. How did Medina get a Muslim state? Anything to do with mass murder of Jews?

Classic god-of-the-gaps argument. For me, the very existence of the book of Isaiah, for instance, results in a number of serious gaps, which IMHO demonstrate the equation to be more like 2+2x=4y. When God is not making a point, all things work to the tune of 'x=2y-1', everything works predictably. Why would you pay any attention to 'y'? It's when it doesn't add up that you start to question, am I missing something? Is there a more intricate equation? Unfortunately you're also past that, to shrugging your shoulders. Also a terrible analogy.

Since you're in that field, can you recommend a few popular ones to start with? Perhaps someone could post a bounty or two.

Rassah, thanks for sharing.. I don't have long, but I want you to know that the New testament's position on homosexuality is far more sensitive than most realize, and it has 2 major implications:

1. anyone that fails to love their neighbor, gay or straight, is seriously on the hook for it, as it's the one interhuman law he left us with, and as he is just, he will repay. "offenses must come, but woe to him by whom they come"

2. the fact that some are given over to that which is "inconvenient" for them looks bad from here, but has a merciful purpose in light of eternity, and really, how else could God see it, if mortal suffering is not the worst thing.

No offense, but I always thought having imaginary friends was kinda silly. I can't say I've had that experience, however real it may have been to you.

EDIT: It's different. I've seen God regularly answer prayers in ways that I could not remotely influence on my own let alone concoct.

I think the young man was rather hasty on both counts. He was also seriously outgunned. Had he known how perverted some of the Hadith are, he might have had some ammo.

That's an assumption. I was raised Pentecostal. I had experiences that could be rationalized in that way. Eventually, in learning how cults operate, I became highly suspect of Christianity as well. I am all too familiar with that sheer sense of dread that such a huge percentage of the planet's population could be devoted to such self-perpetuating deceptions. But there was still a drive to find out more.

Eventually I wanted to test and see whether there is anything more than meets the eye. I sought out the most seemingly secular advancements in the use of what they called "psy" phenomenon, incredulously, to see if I applied rigorous testing criteria, could I come up with something compelling, something besides rhetoric, hearsay, and tingly things. I bit off more than I could chew. To my utter shock, it worked.

Long story short, it was all downhill from there. Ten years later I was finding that everything mysticism has to offer is just a carrot before the horse. It does function, impossible things happen, but not to the end that it promises (which is why it's frequently debunked, why divination is practically useless). I was a slave to the darkness and depravity that came with it all, until the day Jesus broke through and changed everything.

He leaves the 99 sheep to find the one that is lost, that I can attest to.

Walking with him since then has been a learning experience. He teaches me that I can trust him, and he proves faithful every time, always above my expectations. It's a relationship now, not a belief, not dependent on anyone else's opinion. It's not something I can un-realize.

I think so. If you buy BTC with USD (a hundred ways), then use that to buy Euros on BTC-e exchange, you can withdraw them to Perfect Money, OKPay, or Paypal. Each has their minimums and fees, BTC-e included, but I think Paypal will let you hold a foreign balance - I'd read up to make sure. If you want physical euros, just find an IRL exchange, I guess.

1. My mistake, it was the two-horned one. Should have googled it first. Mohammed was telling the story.

Apparently there are a number of efforts to reinterpret this passage. Your meeting-place version is new to me.

Sahih Intl (with context):
Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.
So he followed a way
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."

Muhsin Khan:
Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water. And he found near it a people. We (Allah) said (by inspiration): "O Dhul-Qarnain! Either you punish them, or treat them with kindness."

Pickthall:
Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.

Yusuf Ali:
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness."

If you meet at sunset, and report that the sun went down, that makes sense. If you meet at sunset and report that you found it in a pool of mud or water surrounded by people, that is a little bit more difficult to understand. Perhaps the "report" was figurative?

The Bible's got a few tricky ones too, I'll admit, virgin birth, healings, resurrection, and all. They're all unlikely bad science as far as a godless world is concerned.

The important thing I want to convey is that Jesus' message throughout the gospels is NOT the message that Islam says it is, and his glorification is not polytheism as the Quran insists. His claims to be the son of God (yet one with God) were consistent throughout the gospels. If there's anything in the Islam that I would have you question, that is it. You'd have to discard more than half of what he said, in statements echoed through many writers in the early church.

Not to be antagonistic, but I am confused how such subtleties offend you, when you hold human life no more sacred than a slo-mo youtube video or a plant...

In fact, what I wrote reflects the position of a Christian woman I know and love, who is not ignorant of such hardships. If it didn't, I wouldn't have been so presumptuous as to say it.

Paul Williams suggests that Jesus was only a prophet with a messianic message. Wrongly.

His message was unmistakably, "I AM the way the truth and the life."

The quran also un-deifies Christ, repeatedly smearing believers as polytheists (which perpetuates a fundamental misunderstanding of the trinity). It offers Christians NOTHING but incoherent lip service to the gospel. http://quran.com/search?q=polytheists
