761  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's Be Honest. We Are Waiting for $100/BTC to buy on: March 25, 2015, 04:59:08 AM
Let's cut the crap. Most of us are just waiting for Bitcoin to finally hit $100 to buy a huge quantity. Am I right or talking out my ass?

There is no guarantee it will go down to $100.
I am waiting for $200 to buy some. If it goes to $100, I will buy even more. I will keep buying low until I reach my minimum goal amount of BTC.

Once I collect my target amount, I'll just HODL and keep trading smaller amounts for profit.

+1 You see less MAC viruses because there are less MAC users around Wink
On mobile side, Android is the most targeted OS. Nobody is 100% safe.

The safest computer is the one that doesn't exist

Safest computer is human itself. Highly customizable features ever found. Best antivirus ever built. No known attacks by humans till now. Wink

Use a brain wallet. That's it.

That's good. But there's a risk associated with brain wallets: You can forget!

The whole article hangs on a single assumption:

"Did he keep the private keys to every single one of those 20,000? Unlikely. Why go to the trouble for something that was worthless?"

Wow..   so Satoshi was intelligent enough to have invented Bitcoin, but was dumb enough to not save his private keys.

Really should be in OffTopic, but Mac is the safest to use with BTC applications on it. I use linux sometimes though.

that's a myth, mac is not less secure at all, they are all about the same, the secuirty of a desktop depend mostly on the person using it

True.
Many people tend to believe that Mac OS is more secure than Windows because you hardly see any viruses for Mac.

The truth is malware developers want to target the largest user base to make their 'hard work' worthwhile, so they target the Windows ecosystem.
You hardly see viruses for Mac, because bad guys target it less than they target Windows.

767  Local / Marketplace (India) / Re: Best Bitcoin Exchange that love Indian's - not like igot fools. on: March 24, 2015, 11:27:53 AM
Update: i tried all the exchanges above mentioned.

I feel Unocoin is better than igot & coinsecure.

Unocoin prices are better than all other Indian exchanges.

Coinsecure price is very lowest & volume also very low.

will see how this thing will go in future?

Unocoin and Coinsecure both are good.

As you can see, Coinsecure is direct user-to-user trading platform (unlike Unocoin). Traders decide what price they want to buy/sell for. That's why price keeps swinging. If you want stable price and higher volume, go for Unocoin.

@ndnhc:

I can't find my name in the latest spreadsheet. I enrolled on 13th March and was also paid for one week.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=973949.msg10757966#msg10757966

I was out of station last week, so haven't posted much.
Can you confirm I'm still part of the campaign?

Thanks.

I removed you yesterday, since you were inactive for 5 to 6 days.

Do you want me to add you again? I am asking since you might need to meet the minimum requirement to get paid.

Please next time, if you are going to be inactive for more than 3 days, please inform me, so that I won't remove you unnecessarily.

Edit: Adding you back.

Edit2: lol, this is the only post you made this week.  Wink

Yep, thanks for adding me back. I'm planning to start posting again.
I'm OK with no payment if minimum posts aren't made.

Just a suggestion:
I'd request we don't remove members if possible, unless all slots are full and more members are waiting to join. In that case we can free some space by removing inactive members.

If they're sold on open market, I wonder if it would have any impact on the price on exchanges.
24,500 is a large sum, but then again the BearWhale sold 30,000 BTC without bringing the price down much.

What are the popular exchanges operating in Australia?
We will see sell walls on them if the gov decides to use Australian exchanges with good reputation.

So you're planning to buy Bitcoin using cash? Then you're already buying it anonymously in the first place, right? No KYC, nothing.
Why do you want to go those extra miles to buy-trade-sell highway if you're buying it anonymously in the first place?

772  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Multiple wallets on: March 16, 2015, 09:46:50 AM
Is it standard for one person to have several bitcoin wallets?

It is not standard, but it is very common.
Most wallet programs generate multiple addresses to manage funds. For example the Bitcoin-QT core wallet creates a change address every time a transaction results in some change BTC.

Also multiple wallet addresses are good from privacy point of view.

But it is not mandatory and you can continue using same address for multiple transactions.

I didn't understand the "wallet.dat file is still there" part.

Where did you first generate it? Where are you copying it everytime you try to use it?

Even if you delete, the file is easily recoverable from the HDD.

I have an old PC that's running on Windows XP.

--> I created a live Ubuntu CD
--> Booted computer from live Ubuntu CD
--> Installed MultiBit's linux version
--> Created a wallet with some addresses
--> Copied the wallet file to an external USB flash drive
--> Shut down the computer, removed the live Ubuntu CD
--> Booted the computer in Windows

Does this leave my wallet file anywhere on my HDD when I run it on Windows?
I copied the

It creates that file. Once you have copied and deleted the data is still on the HDD and may be recoverable. jlga's option is safer but it is still brute forceable.

It is easiest to get an old PC and make it a cold storage one, or buy a small HDD and swap it with the regular one.

I have my fair share of doubt about this.

Even the Bitcoin Wiki recommends this method for creating a cold storage:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_savings_wallet

I have followed the same method step-by-step and I'm fairly certain this does not make the wallet file recoverable after the computer is shut down.

But I'd like to have opinions from other experienced users who might have better understanding of the whole process.

I got my payment (generated with the bot) from FreeBitco.in  : 0.81$

I made the best deal : 500$ investment - 0.81$ win  !

LOL...  At first I read 0.81 BTC and thought "Not too bad!"  But then I noticed it was $0.81 and not BTC.  Cheesy

If you had just bought Bitcoin directly using those $500, you would have got around 1.8 BTC at current prices.
775  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My way of preventing someone from reversing a PayPal payment on: March 16, 2015, 07:43:16 AM

- You have account "A" and a dummy account "B", and trader have account "S".


Doesn't PayPal require some kind of documentation/authentication to record detect accounts from same person?
I mean, you must be having to provide some kind of KYC on both accounts?

That way PayPal can always link both accounts to same person; and if one of them is tainted, they can freeze them both.

(I don't know, I'm asking.)

If the old drive was running Windows 7 or 8, the wallet file should be in:

D:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Multibit\wallet.dat
(Where *username* is your own username)

Note that the path usually starts with C:\  but since your drive is now mounted as secondary drive, it should start with D:\  in your case.

You're not wrong in saying Hindi is the most spoken language in India.

But most internet users in India are well versed in English and they use English as the main communication language on internet, regardless of their native tongue (unlike China, where most users use Chinese). Hindi is a pain in the butt to type on keyboard, too.

And especially the ones interested in Bitcoins - and part of this forum - come from well educated background and English is their main communication language on internet.

I'm not saying this to include the India forum in post count; if other local boards are excluded, India should be excluded too. I just wanted everyone to know the facts about Hindi and English in India when it comes to internet.
