How was Trezor (bitcointrezor.com) not mentioned here thousand times already? It's a 100% solution, an offline, standalone signing device. It's open source and it's securing bitcoins by the design of the process alone and not by a smartcard component like ledger wallet.
1) Expensive. 2) Not offline(aka cold storage). Ledger is secure like Trezor. Don't think Trezor > Ledger!  Exactly. Nevertheless, you can find very informative posts (and links) here on how to create your secure cold wallet. Don't forget to store it in (at least) 3 mediums and in 3 different places. This will give you about 98% probability your funds are secure. |

I'm sure you're aware that this amount is something that you may regret a lot more that you didn't withdraw after a year or so (even earlier)... Anyway. We've all something to blame ourselves. I left a few BTCs in my Gox account hoping (!) it will be back in the future. I learned the hard way, I guess.  Yes, I had a good eye-roller when I noticed that. Life has a way of whipping blindingly by, huh? And as for that email to Deep: "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: pool@deepbit.comTechnical details of permanent failure: The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. Learn more at http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=7720[(0) deepbit.com. [162.255.119.129]:25: socket error]" No surprise there. I'll have to investigate further. I have a strong intuition that he isn't really gone at all, and I daresay I know where to start looking. From my heart: Good luck man. They closed the shop months ago. I don't think they will get back to you and frankly that would add many kudos points to their part from me. But it's not that kind of world and we know it. They have probably spent the funds (all of them) by now. |

Good news everyone! I've found a new mascot to replace MoonCat, and it comes bundled with a fantastic charity for the XMR community to adopt. It turns out there is a Monero, New Mexico. It's an old coal mining town, now used mostly by ranchers and wild horses. MoneroMustangs.org is dedicated to preserving these lovely beasts, and has a slogan very appropriate to our cause: Monero Mustangs - Still Wild And Free[/center] You'll have to use XMR.to -> Paypal, but donating $25 for one of these sweet caps is worth it. Awesome. The Monero Mustangs club. We're getting quite the collection of hatwear going. I like the logo and the incentive... even though I'm getting those weird feelings about the red Mustang I had driven once when I was studying in the US  . I'm watching the site now. I love the pics... |

Good morning gents. Are we done dumping yet? Seems an uptrend is evolving and trolls are nowhere to be seen... CCMF imminent?   Is it safe to get back in now?Not sure it is... I also believe that the "news" about evolution theft & dumping are not real, maybe it was just an orchestrated FUD so that people sell and whales buy cheap. No one in his sane mind would have sold stolen coins through the exchanges. But that's just a theory. No one in his sane mind would have stole the coins from such a community, in the first place, either...  |

Bitcoin regulations incoming in the UK. Interesting times: http://www.coindesk.com/breaking-uk-treasury-issues-landmark-digital-currencies-report/The United Kingdom's Treasury has published its report on digital currencies in conjunction with the Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget speech today.
The report recommends that anti-money laundering regulation be applied to digital currency exchanges in the UK and that HM Treasury will consult on the regulatory approach in Parliament. From the report: 3.3 Almost all respondents to the call for information commented that digital currencies can offer a degree of anonymity to users, and that this factor could be a driver of criminal activity. Contributions also noted that the use of specific digital currencies, and anonymising services can increase the degree of user anonymity. However, stakeholders diverged in their assessment of the overall significance of the risks here. Some banks and payment scheme companies characterised digital currencies as anonymous and untraceable, but many of the submissions from users, digital currency firms and consultancies challenged this view and termed the technology ‘pseudonymous’ rather than anonymous. They noted that the publically visible ledger (or blockchain) of historical transactions makes digital currency payments less opaque than traditional payment methods, especially cash. Stakeholders saw that this ledger of historical transactions could potentially prove helpful for regulators and law enforcement. This is great news for BTC (posted it also to Wall observer). But here's some food for thought... Anyone else sees this as "bad news" for XMR due to its anonymity? I mean, if I'd want to be "visible" to the network for regulation reasons, could I persuade the government that I actually am? You could give them your viewkey?  Much like there are plenty of completely legitimate reasons to be private, there are also plenty of completely legitimate reasons to be transparent, be it to anyone or just selected parties. Monero achieves all of this with a mechanism called the view key.
If this doesn't suffice, know that it is completely in a State's reach to kill a crypto (even Bitcoin) if it really wants to. Right now. So, there are two options: to hope no State will care, or to make sure it is not in its best interest. We choose the latter. I love this stuff. I didn't know that there was such a thing as a "view" key... Thanks dEBRUYNE! |

the trolls are back this is a good sign Finally, the trolls awaken from hibernation!  The balance has been restored in the Wall Observer Thread. Been too long since we've seen bears sling their twisted version of wisdom among us. I wouldn't say I missed their presence... At least Adam is here and deletes the most annoying ones... |

4.7 The government recognises that the technology associated with digital currencies offers
considerable promise, making it possible for users to transfer value (or other information)
quickly, efficiently and securely, providing a permanent record of what has taken place, and
without the need for a trusted third party to oversee the process. In response, the government is
launching a new research initiative which will bring together the Research Councils, Alan Turing
Institute and Digital Catapult with industry in order to address the research opportunities and
challenges for digital currency technology, and will increase research funding in this area by £10
million to support this.
4.8 In addition, in February 2015, the Bank of England announced it will undertake research on
central bank-issued digital currencies as part of its new research agenda. This work covers the
potential costs and benefits of doing so as well as the economic impact, technolog Whoah! that's great! Looks like we have been in their scope; what's next? Implementing crypto in their banks? |

Bagley told CoinDesk:
“The only thing that makes that list interesting is the fact that it’s so unremarkable. I guess bitcoiners are regular people.”
That is utterly wrong! No such thing as "regularity" here. The only closer to this is "regulation" which is yet to be seen any time soon... |

Point taken, macsga. Thanks for the feedback. We’ll do what we can to update btctalk, reddit, and other channels, but we’re limited with time due to day jobs and such. The primary way to stay in touch with Maxcoin is still Twitter. I'll take a look at the broken link in github. Thank you.
You're welcome. I'm very sad that this coin is not at its rightful place. If you guys do your part, it still has a chance getting a major role in cryptoworld in the future. Good luck. PS: restarted mining today |

Limbaugh, that necessarily implies that a coin is only legitimate if Keiser is at the helm.
Limbaugh on Maxchat last year: "Someone needs to take this coin over and create a better image."
Exactly. The foundation has taken over and is working on a new image and road map. You know this, which means you're just trolling now.
May I suggest that you're more active in here? Being on a site is one thing but posting in here is what makes this coin "active" within the "future members". Posting news and missives in the website is getting attention only to the members that already care. What about the new ones? XMR is doing this too. Posting missives every week or so HERE as well their website/blog/forum. Like it or not, this is the marketplace you're suppose to be "selling"... Edit: I must add one more thing. Please fix the link for OSX wallet. https://github.com/Max-Coin/maxcoin/releases/download/v0.9.3.1/MaxCoin-QT.dmg pops up an 404 error. |

Dump is over gents. We're going back up. Can one with a good eye, add up how much of the stolen coins went down the drain on market orders...?

I won't sell at this price, I will buy @250 . I hope it will down more. The other thing is I could not sell @295 . I am all in BTC :/
Same here. Since 2012.  Seriously now, if you're investing, this is not the price to sell. Not now, and certainly not until the next halving. Scarcity is your friend. |

This could turn ugly for the guy... Running away with 43K is A LOT of money even at these prices, but not enough to be vanished. Hope he returns the funds... They didn't run away with 43k BTC. That's the total received. You guys are panicking over a dumbasses misinterpretation of the wallet transaction history. FFS. No. He says "eight figure profit". 43k BTC = $12M. So it's at least 36k BTC minimum. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/darknet-market-evolution-unreachable-funds-stolen/If they f up they are going to end up as a smudge somewhere. Most definitely, DarkMarket is not the place to play thug life. Outsmarting some computer geeks like on Gox is another thing and messing around with people there is another. Good luck with the dump money. They're gonna need it. |
