I know what escrow is,but how would you use escrow on paypal for bitcoin since the buyer could charge back
Since you can chargeback for 180 days with PayPal, it is not feasible to use escrow, unless the escrow is assumed to release the funds after 180 days. That's why you'll see many unentertained/failed offers on this forum to buy BTC with PayPal. Nobody wants to use PayPal. |

hello,
I like to know where I can create a secure bitcoin wallet where I can keep my bitcoins for years, when I see websites that offer bitcoin wallet, I fear that one day the site no longer exists, and I lose all my bitcoins.
thanks.
Have you explored and cosidered the paper wallets? (or cold storage?) - Encrypt your wallets with STRONG password - Keep the 'savings' wallet always offline - Put encrypted wallet inside password-protected ZIP, put it on multiple USB drives and put them at multiple secure locations like your bank locker - Export the private keys and store them on offline device - Print private keys on paper and put it in your bank locker |

Can anyone tell me why they are not looking into my request or they don't want to or any other reason or this is what admin usually does he does not give a shit about users and busy making money.
Normally they do recover the account if you have proven the ownership by signing a message. It might just that theymos might be busy with somehting esle, especially when there have been forum hacks and several accounts are vulnerable and possibly hacked. Take a look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0If you use any sort of Google email service, then the password recovery email will go to your spam folder. If you want me to recover a hacked/lost account, you need to prove that you own it. Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile. I very rarely recover accounts if you can't prove ownership as described above. There are alternative ways of proving ownership, but they take too much time. If I point you to this thread, you can't prove ownership properly, and then I ignore your future PMs, this means that I'm not going to recover your account. Create a new one. When sending me a PM, use a template like this: Quote -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>. -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- <insert address here> <insert signature here> -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ... OR I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#... All required info must be in one PM. Do not create your temporary account using the same email address you want for the hacked/lost account. No two accounts can have the same email address.I know you have already signed a message. You might want to draft a PM EXACTLY as described above and send it to theymos just to be double-sure. Make sure to notice the bold part. You cannot recover the account using same email address. |

I went through the article and here's the funny part: ....if the potential harm from a marketplace seems limited to you, consider what could happen from the combination of this type of technology with Artificial Intelligence. As AI evolves, even tech visionaries like Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Tesla chief Elon Musk have expressed concern over the ability of humans to control the outcome, especially if machines are eventually able to ‘think’ autonomously. Now apply OpenBazaar’s decentralized and police-resistant model to this and you have a recipe for disaster: machines with free will and the ability to communicate with each other under the human radar. Maybe an Isaac Asimov-inspired fantasy at one time, this is hardly an impossible scenario anymore given the rapid pace of technological development..... So now they have all the imagination to link decentralized systems to Artificial Intelligence, and make it easy for people to make it look like a threat to humanity. Great! And as if that was not already ridiculous, they have quoted Bill Gates and Tesla's opinions about A.I. Now what does that have to do with Open Bazaar? |

Do you still have a backup copy of the wallet from before you upgraded?
I'm guessing you don't have the private keys extracted somewhere?

If there was a coin that could seeriously make you rich it was MINT coin.
This is my sad story: I sold all my MINT coin some months ago when there was not much activity going on with it. Nobody wanted to buy it and the price was 1 satoshi. I saw no real future for it and so I decided to sell all my MINT for 1 satoshi per coin and investmented in some other. Currently it is being traded at 16 satoshi. And if you consider the pump just a couple days ago, it reached a peak price of 39 satoshi!
1 satoshi <<<< 39 satoshi
Only if I knew.
The reason I leave all my coins in my wallets rather than making a few mBTC if a price of a coin crashes. Although the waiting only worth it like 1 in a hundred coins. But there's a difference between already owned coins and investing into dieing new coins.I like the bold part (emphasis added by me). I still have some coins that seem to have died out - or dying. But I'll never make the mistake I made with MINT. Selling them for pennies doesn't get me anything anyway. So better HODL them, just in case. |

Is it actually feasible to mine scrypt on CPU? I just calculated: Even if you use high-end Xeon CPU and you have FREE electricity, it gives you 9783 DOGED MONTHLY. That is $0.01 MONTHLY. Or maybe I'm missing something here. |

Here are the scopes of how much we obtain transferring the amount X (from A to B) and permanently replicating it through a chargeback (from B to A):
0.0001 BTC gives from 0.000001 to 0.000013 BTC of the revenue
0.001 BTC gives from 0.00001 to 0.00015 BTC of the revenue
0.01 BTC gives from 0.0002 to 0.0019 BTC of the revenue
0.1 BTC gives from 0.003 to 0.02 BTC of the revenue
1 BTC gives from 0.05 to 0.21 BTC of the revenue
10 BTC gives from 0.3 to 2.5 BTC of the revenue
Probably (not calculated yet):
100 BTC gives from 5 to 27 BTC of the revenue
1000 BTC gives from 70 to 320 BTC of the revenue
The amount of BTC in a particular scope (from to) depends on a particular wallet address and some aspects of its synchronization with the BTC network.
This is hilarious, especially the above quoted part. He claims he doesn't have enough BTC to actually carry out these tests (and so he is asking for donations so that he can test it out), he has already 'researched' how much exact amount you can yield using this method! This is good, I want more of these coming!  |

Wow.. this is just amazing. And good to know he was able to recover all his lost coins via community contribution. We can't imagine this happening anywhere else in crypto space. We are a small but one of the best communities around! |

There are 4 outgoing transactions from your old address just a few hours before you posted this topic. - And that address received more than 10 BTC, so you're not just a beginner I assume. Are you sure you don't know how this works? Or you're just trollling ? |

Is it really necessary to MOVE to China in order to run a mining farm there?
Can't you just rent some space and hire some local labour to look after it?

He could still have plenty of BTC in his savings.
He spent almost everything, apart from single-digit change. So NO, he doesn't have 'plenty of BTC' in his savings. Source:-snip- Other than a little bit of single digit change, I spent everything I mined. -snip-

@BadBear Slightly off-topic, but since you're here I thought I would take my chances to draw your attention. Here's a fellow that might need your help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085850.0His account is stolen by someone and he has verified the ownership by signing a message. Maybe you can recover it for him? |

So the best OP can do now is wait until theymos gets time to recover his account, and hope the account remains banned until then.  Theymos or BadBear, but yes, all he can do right now is wait. The account has been banned for at least 14 days (as that is the lowest punishment for constant referral spam, if I remember correctly), so there is no need to worry. so even if the account is recovered it will remain banned fopr 14 days or ban will be removed after it is recovered and also i got negative trust due to this hack, will that be removed afterwards or not, since i didn't spam i already proved to you my account is hacked and there is no reason for me to spam. Since this was not done intentionally and not done by me it should be removed? Most likely your account will be un-banned because it is proven that it was not you who was spamming. Regarding negative trust: only the people who gave you negative trust can remove it. So you should show them this thread and request to remove the -ve trust. Most people will do that after being convinced that the account was hacked. |

Adin/Mod,
My sign is verified by one of the trusted user, can you please make sure my hacked account is not misused/sold. I don't understand why there is delay, i mean what could be more important than a user account is hacked. i mean delaying processing my request is really not professional even when i provided everything you guys requested.
You can PM BadBear or other staff members if theymos takes long time to respond. You can search for admin/staff members here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sa=search(Just put "admin" or "staff" in the search field and tick 'search by position') You can even see their online status in the search results, so you can easily decide who to contact for fast action. |
