it does smell very fishy this story.
Like someone already pointed out, it's easy to find a transaction with more than 10 BTC and claim the wallet as yours.. adding your BTC address at the end for donation (what donation you want? in case this is real, you should educate yourself while playing with so much money) was the cherry at the top of the cake.
besides that, who would donate just because you lost a fortune? meh, this is weird..

for sure the idea on crypto/blockchain will stand still for long time, maybe somebody will use the blockchain for different stuff, who knows?
For sure we will not survive (at least most of us) for another 100 years to know what will happen

i guess like most of the people the biggest regret is to not have invested money in it.
Nobody can see the future, the practical side of me though it was just a nice (and useless) experiment, combined with the fact i wasn't at home but abroad without a pc i didn't have a chance to invest time in BTC.
don't want to cry over a spilled milk but most of us it went like this.

that actually would destroy the foundation of this philosophy, anonymity then the next step what would be? a centralised bank for the transaction?
That's not a good idea at all.

Still giving out advices, solution and help to couple of members, feel free to send me a PM!

if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here supporting this project but at this time, he's better to stay anonymous like he's doing since the start.
It might even be risky for his life to show his real face.
How much does he hold? it doesn't matter and by the way, as a matter of fact, if you would have created this massive monster called BTC i would have kept loads of coins even though it would not generate any income/value because it's like your baby who wouldn't keep most of it?

Well, we are not even close to have BTC as daily basis currency, it does have an intrinsic value but for the day by day you need money, cash and so far you can use bitcoin for few shops (compared to the totality of the shops around the globe).
For now this is the only way to go in the future maybe this will change, but i doubt we are going to see BTC as a form of payment in the shops like debit card, credit card or cash.

bitcoin itself is not gambling, is the use you do with BTC that can be gambling (pure gambling on websites or market trading), if you put aside the idea of crypto and consider it like a stock option, it's just another investment until you trade by buying low sell high.

it's not just about investing everything in bitcoin, or gold, or anything else, the main issue is indeed investing everything!
That means if that thing fall you lost everything (for example in my home country the value of an apartment or house dropped to the ground due to country issue) and you have no margin to recover, diversification is always the good thing to do, some of your investment (put apart the crypto world) might fall but the rest are keep going.
In this way you can adapt and react by moving some of your finances in the right way.

what do you mean with "registration"?
You just don't register to bitcoin, you register on a forum maybe to support the BTC and the community.
Community has a big impact on the bitcoin life because through our support we keep alive this philosophy, a coin without community support it's just another crap coin created to pump and dump to gain some money; there were tons of altcoin who lasted like 2 months and we all know how it went from the creation to the death of the coin.

you are right, it's a matter of trust in any form of transaction.. i trust too much humans and i hope i'm not the only one because otherwise we'll be screwed.

this would be an amazing way to show that btc community is not only about money, trading and such things, science and healthcare are the two things in life i would support without any problem; with all the money we waste for crap stuff why not?

Hello folks,
have you ever wanted a BTC wallet address with your name in it?
Fear not! I can generate you a new address with your name (or whatever you prefer) in it!

Fee of charge, donation welcome but not needed, send me a pm if with your request!

ye, this is one of the downside of this system, nothing we can do about it.
If the demand is going up, the transaction fee increase accordingly.

free again!

Send me a PM if you need something!

BTC is love, BTC is life, the other coins are just for some short term profit, but still, with the market fluctuation BTC is the way to go.

is this post just to raise your postcount? because i'm asking to the campaign manager and yes, i'm able to read.
And no, that wallet is 4 years old, it has no weird expiration date, it's just kraken who's switching from bitgo to a different one.

I know there is the rule about the BTC address but my old one is expiring in a day:


if there is a possibility to change the address it would be lovely, otherwise the payment will not go through, let me know if you will change the address or not, if not i have to leave the campaign because it's useless to send the payment to an exired wallet.

Thanks and sorry for this issue.

was thinking nearly the same, just add Arrison Ford as Indiana Johnes and the lost wallet (the original Satoshi wallet with millions of BTC) and you got a free plot

just today ihave received a mail from kraken abou tleaving BitGo wallet to a different one, the BTC addresses are set to expire the 30th of October, that's probably the problem.
