If you have multiple miners, consider running your own p2pool node. It's not that hard to set up, and you pay zero fees, plus you get freshly minted coins with no history. Also, since p2pool is truly distributed, you're immune to DDOS attacks and other such nonsense; you can literally switch to any other p2pool node (or run your own!) and keep all your earned shares, so long as you use the same payout address. Alternately, if you don't want to bother with the setup, you can connect to someone else's p2pool node. There's a few nodes out there with no or low fees.
If your hashrate is not high enough, it will be hard to find a share with p2pool.

can someone tell me a good contract company then?
The most popular ones are PBMining and cex.io. +1. PBmining is a lot cheaper, while you can trade your hashrate on cex at any time.

Why don't you use cpuminer for cpu mining?

Why are people always referring to "only 21 Million coins" there will be one day that Bitcoin is so expensive that people will struggle with getting 0.3BTC let alone 1 BTC
Because being able to only afford 0.3 BTC makes you feel like a loser. At the same time for the same money you could afford to buy 250k Dogecoins and feel rich. I don't think many people want to feel like losers and most people want to feel rich, that's a no-brainer to me. Try to think it like 30000000 satoshi rather than 0.3 btc then

I tried the same thing when I first started. Complete FAIL.
It would have been a huge success if you started in 2009 lol.

I am using multibit but it is not synchronizing. Please suggest fast synchronizing wallet. Is blockchain.info wallet is better.
I am using Electrum, and it is working well for me. If you use blockchain.info, don't forget to enable 2FA and be careful with phishing emails and links.

no,no.and no!
You should have enabled 2FA. Though it won't provide 100% safety, it still provides another safety measure to your bitcoin.

Looks like lots of people don't understand how large the bitcoin key space is...

I am sorry to hear of these transactions that you did not initiate. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen, because your private information was somehow obtained. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as blockchain.info. By design, Blockchain.info never has access to users' accounts or bitcoins. If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your bitcoins are safe with blockchain.info. There is also no way to reverse a bitcoin transaction. In the future, to ensure your account is protected with an extra layer of security, always enable two factor authentication. I would also highly advise against ever using this compromised wallet again, as someone else clearly has the private keys in it. I wish more could be done to get your funds back to you, but the nature of bitcoin makes it nearly impossible.
-----
Have you enabled 2FA? Have you received some phishing emails and clicked the link? Have you download some "strange" programs which may contain keylogger?

I have some ideas as to what the requirements for the next big coin will need to have in it's design but then i'm not a programmer.
You can hire programmers to build the "next big coin", or you can just tell us your idea.

Check out the mining section. Of course there is big demmand for mining and the equipment but it's not really profitable for begginers anymore.
Give me an example of a profitable mining now days with some calculations, thanks. What do you mean? I guess he wanted to say bitcoin mining is not profitable for everyone, not just beginners. 1 Ph/s with no electricity bills - I'd say - it looks profitable. Probably not the case when you include the cost for the ASICs lol

If you use a deterministic wallet such as electrum then you don't need to worry about how many keys you've used. It will keep track of as many as you want using a seed phrase. Just write down that phrase and it's all you need.
Exactly. And just a side note, you could set the keypool size to whatever you want with "-keypool=<n>". So, if you don't want to make backup so "frequently", you could use the argument to set a larger keypool.

This is completely wrong. The ETA for the halving is in August 2016!
+1 With the difficulty (hashrate) continuously rising, we are finding blocks at a faster rate. Instead of 14 days, it usually takes 12-13 days to find 2016 blocks. Instead of 4 years, it takes less than that to find 210000 blocks.

I've been recently playing on some Dicesite gambling.. And started at around 0.0018 in my wallet. After a few days, just have some luck and by doing some investments on other players I made it Bigger it turns to 0.015. But suddenly last night, I want to deposit some btc in my wallet at the site Then I suddenly lost all my coins in my wallet someone send it to an address in which I dont know Those coins were are my hardwork on faucets and risk by gambling but suddenly lost hope someone might help me to recover it.. It just a little amount though But still it was my pure hardwork Sorry to hear your loss, but there is no way you can recover your bitcoin. What you can do now is to scan for malware, use different passwords on different sites, and enable 2FA whenever possible.
