Hallo zusammen, Edit: mangels Nachfrage geschlossen.für einen Freund biete ich sechs (oder sieben) Gigabyte HD6950 an. (Eine hat einen etwas lauteren Lüfter und wird ggf erst eingeschickt) Alle haben Restgarantie, OVP und Rechnung. http://geizhals.at/eu/gigabyte-radeon-hd-6950-gv-r695oc-1gd-a614466.htmledit: Per Software hochgetaktet, 340 Mh/s über Monate stabil. Keinerlei Hardwareveränderungen, immer ordentlich gekühlt, vom Hersteller als OC-Version freigegeben. Er möchte auf HD7970er aufrüsten. Wer also HD7970er loswerden möchte kann mich auch kontaktieren. Und falls jemand mit dem Kurscrash, abgeschaltetem MtGox und Kursen von unter 25 Eur/BTC nervös wird, er nimmt auch Bitcoins :-) Genauere Details kann ich erfragen. Standort Berlin bzw südöstlich davon. Ente |

I fckn hate it to be all-in in Bitcoin.
I WANT TO BUY MOAR! RAAAAWR!
Well, this is a bit more action now than I wished for.
If this results in the end of MtGox and a single fat centralized exchange, it may have been worth it nevertheless.

Cant someone buy a million 250$+ contracts and than push the prie on mtgox over 250? This seems verry simple to do ?!?
Yes, exciting times ahead. Think 'arms race'. Bitcoinica, back then, seemed to have quite some influence in the charts. This here, nowadays, will be, well, exciting! :-) Ente |

I may start the Portuguese version.
There are severals countries in Africa that currently use Portuguese language (Angola, Mozambique, etc).
Give me some feedback.
Good approach! Like, a whole new portal, or a portuguese translation of bitcoins.co.ke? With the currently little members and activity, I would suggest concentrate all of them in one place (as a neginning at least). Ente |

I suggest Armory.
One "live" computer with armory, with "watching-only" wallets.
Another small computer completely offline, doesn't even need the blockchain. Has the same wallets, but including the privkeys.
Create a tx, move it to your offline computer via usb-key, it signs, you send the tx on your online computer.
This, with several independent wallets (like one small wallet which has the funds directly on the online computer too) is pretty secure.

pssst http://www.qfxsoftware.com/youre welcome!  Nah. Once a malware has root/admin rights on your computer, it's game over. Any software, anything in RAM can be read, written, manipulated, replaced, you name it. Heck, there are malware who run your whole windows in its own virtual machine! You have, at least theoretically, a chance when using a TPM. Then it's "just" the question if there is no bug or backdoor in it. Either way, Linux and common sense goes a long way! I'm note sure I understand exactly how this works and I've never user Armory before but I'll do some testing with it.
There's a tutorial about offline wallets in Armory right here: https://bitcoinarmory.com/using-offline-wallets-in-armory/For now, Armory+Offline is the most secure practical way to handle bitcoins, second only to paperwallets printed from a livecd. Which you can't securely redeem ;-) Ente |

If you must "read up".. remove wallet from computer immediately!!  I guess everything is relative. For me, it was mostly about starting to use a safe VPN (that accepts bitcoins). I think I had most bases covered before that. Checklist: 1. Filesystem encryption. 2. Password management. 3. Individually encrypted wallets. 4. Local firewall. 5. Cron virus scan. 6. Sane file permissions. 7. VPN (with failsafe switch). 8. Encrypted wallets stored on several locations. Todo: 1. Paper backup in safe. The thing I'm concerned about is keyloggers. My password is very long and secure and I have it completely memorised, I only use it for things like Bitcoin and it's never been written down. Due to the price of these coins I'm going to get a separate computer (probably a cheap netbook) to store my Bitcoin client on. I'll use it only for doing transfers, nothing else. Of course I have my wallets backed up in various places as well. I suggest Armory. One "live" computer with armory, with "watching-only" wallets. Another small computer completely offline, doesn't even need the blockchain. Has the same wallets, but including the privkeys. Create a tx, move it to your offline computer via usb-key, it signs, you send the tx on your online computer.

what if some african state would introduce BTC as their national currency. that way it would be harder to ban elsewhere and a recourse to the United Nations would be possible.
Someone actually had talks in several African embassys. Some were not interested, and at least one found the idea interesting. Never heard of it again, though.. This could have been in 2011 maybe, so we are in a quite different position nowadays. Why not? Go for it! Any volunteers? :-) Ente |

Announcing TorEx "Anonymous Bitcoin Exchange" How TorEx Works? TorEx is a site that allows you to sell USD and BTC anonymously. This is accoumplished by having the seller of USD mail the currency to the buyer using the mail system in all countries around the world. The system allows the seller to specify the country that the currency will be mailed from. The system has a automated reputation system which matches the seller of BTC and USD with the highest reputation scores. This system helps prevent fraud. Using Tor: http://36rt4evqyuwovhgl.onion/Using a Tor Proxy: http://36rt4evqyuwovhgl.tor2web.orgTor.. Bitcoin.. Tor.. Bitcoin.. wait.. Tor.. Bitcoin.. *scratches head* Oh yeah, right, now I remember! Does TorEx have control over the Bitcoins at any time? I guess they are in escrow. Are they in, for example, 2-out-of-3 agreement escrow, or are they in sole control of TorEx? Ente |

Eben, solche Sachen meinte ich damit, das Rohstoffpreise auch an andere politische Prozesse gekoppelt sind, das eine muss das andere jedoch nicht ausschließen.
Im Iran findet aufgrund der Sanktionen derzeit auch eine massive Inflation statt, aber ich glaube gehört zu haben das Bitcoin dort gesperrt ist, ähnlich zur Internetzensur in China.
Hmm? Das Letzte, das ich bezüglich Iran und Bitcoin gehört habe, war, dass ein Kanadischer (?) Student als eine Art Fallstudie gezeigt hat, wie sein Iranischer Kommilitone Geld per Bitcoin in (von?) Iran nach Kanada transferiert. Schnell, günstig, an den Sanktionen vorbei. Wurde, glaube ich, von Blogs etc aufgegriffen, war aber eher ein kleineres Beispiel. Seitdem hab ich nichts gehört bezüglich Iran? Falls da geblockt wird: Schöne Artikel darüber schreiben! Streisand-Effekt! Das könnte eine der richtig großen PR-Aktionen *für* Bitcoin werden! Ente |

..stopped reading once I figured DeanC deletes his old posts.
Too shady behavior to trust any money, for me.
Ente
There's absolutely nothing shady about DeanC's card sales, he's got many happy customers including me. Why post something like that on his thread? If you don't want one - don't buy one. Oh, I never found DeanC's *cards* shady. How could I, I didn't order any from him. It was actually meant as a somewhat drastic put constructive criticism. @PatMan Thank you. Yes it is true. Everyone is satisfied here The old posts were about VISA cards. Now I offer Mastercards: Well, people who want to buy cards from you will probably read the whole thread and figure out the current state of the sale and details of the card(s)? You could just have edited the posts when they weren't up-to-date any more. Or at least "Outdated, read message#123 for news". But completely deleted posts, with people's replies to them left, combined with the non-informing and somewhat shady first post.. Nah. You want to sell a product but ask for private communication right in the first post? I didn't cry out "scam" or anything. But I cry out "awful PR" and "I wouldn't trust in this with my money". You know how it works in PR and customer service? For every (potential) customer complaining, a dozen or a thousand are not buying or even leaving. Still doing constructive criticism here, you see? To be honest: The low total volume limit in ATM withdrawals is a(nother) no-go for me anyway. Ente |

EM, now you went full retard. Sorry, no offence to handycapped people.
You think every single person who lost bitcoins to Trendon is the same?
You think every single of them who lost a lot of coins (worth a fortune now) back then, who isn't invested in Bitcoin any more, value the overall health of Bitcoin higher than his personal loss?
You ignore the repeated statements that the SEC interviewed people and several people contacted *them*?
FUD. /ignore. Your stale, misplaced Litecoin babble was annoying me anyway.

Sorry, didn'r follow up on the last few pages.
I just noticed:
I have an encrypted wallet. I want to add a comment to an address or transaction, I doubleclick it and type away. The comment isn't saved, though. I am not asked to enter my passphrase neither. And I don't see a manual way to unlock the wallet (without creating a tx).
Armory 0.87-beta
Ente
Found it, more-or-less coincidently. I can -of course- edit and create comments, even in encrypted wallets. No password needed. Here, it failed (silently) when adding those weird german umlaute, like ä ö and ü ;-) Cheers! Ente |

Mich würde bei dem Prinzip des Restaurants ein mal interessieren, inwiefern denn die Rechnung dort in BTC beglichen wird? Überweist man das dort dann via Online-Wallet, oder wie darf ich mir das vorstellen?
In den meisten Fällen so: "Bezahlen bitte! In Bitcoin!" Deine freundliche Bedienung berechnet den Euro-Betrag, tippt ihn ins Tablet, dort wird er in bitcoins umgerechnet und ein QR-Code erzeugt. Du zückst dein Handy, startest die Schildbach-Wallet, scannst den QR-Code und drückst auf "senden". Ein paar Sekunden danach macht das Tablet ein erfreuliches "Ka-Tschingg!" Dann drückst du der freundlichen Bedienung noch nen Euro in die Hand, und gut ist. Alternativ: - Web-Wallet, da weiß ich nicht welche QR-Codes einlesen. - Bitcoinadresse abtippen, oder einscannen, oder via bit.ly (oder so) abrufen Wlan ist vorhanden. :-) Ente |

Your software is the best and safest by far without any real competition. You are the main expert. When Bitcoin becomes sufficiently mainstream you will be approached for: 1) Creating customizations (either open source or proprietary) 2) Performing other services (such as coaching and setting up the software) 3) You will likely be offered rather lucrative contracts by business wishing to enter this market (the equivalent of a buy out if Armory was proprietary) Of course I hope you will not take option 3 and will have time to keep working on Armory (out of my own interest)  . But if you monetize on this it is truly deserved as this is a magnificent piece of work. Thanks! +10000000 Thank you for your incredible work, Alan Thanks so much guys. I really appreciate the encouragement. It's awesome to see so many people so excited about my work. I am working on some ideas to generate some revenue, and I think I can do so without harming the user experience (hopefully enhance it!). I'll discuss that more later. Just know that I'm planning to keep Armory 100% free. Or at least 98% of it -- I might try to develop some kind super-advanced features, or maybe a corporate add-on that could be sold. But for everyone else, I want there to be no reason not to use Armory. Instead, find ways to leverage a wide userbase. And if Armory makes an impact in the Bitcoin world, it will help me out by fattening my offline wallet (both in donations and price).
Finally figured out the code signing problem. Check out this bling!  Now that looks sweet! Congrats! :-) You do a great job with Armory. A very much needed job too, we desperately need more independent Bitcoinclients! My random thoughts: Think about approaching the Bitcoin Foundation. You are a lead core developer yourself, not? ;-) Seriously, I am sure that the satoshi-client devteam very much appreciates and encourages alternative clients too. I have no insight in their books, but I guess they have pretty large wallets.. with as many corporate and private members they have. How about selling an Armory-Offline-Wallet-Hardware? It could/should be a different approach to the small keychain-hardware wallets currently in the making. Targeted at companies (too). With tight integration in Armory, obviously. Hell, a whole Banking/Accounting/Security/Authorization-Ecosystem for companies might evolve around Armory! The marked right now isn't huge, but you would be the first (and only?) one ready when it's starting. You see I follow the other thread about secure Armory offline wallets closely ;-) Ente |

I enjoy this discussion a lot. Both because I want to secure my bitcoins, like to feed my playful paranoia, and would like to experiment with a small secure computer. My idea, so far: - Use a Raspberry Pi for the offline computer - Tiny LCD and keypad, something like: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l114/TexyUK/DSC_5572_zps91532411.jpghttp://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR_fJdo6VoL2kY6jW-60kqh17KlO8YM016KhYpGaymMneHp1V--  - Use a "USB sharing switch": https://geizhals.at/p/303918.jpgThis guy connects two computers to one [or two] USB devices. Switch between them with a button - Use a USB key to transfer the data. I like the idea of "raw formatted" keys from post #90 Now comes the candy: - I have two USB device ports on the switch: one for the key, the other one has a USB-to-I/O adapter - the I/O adapter can push the button to switch the USB-switch to the other computer --> online-computer sees the USB key and the I/O. Writes the TX to the key and "pushes the button" via I/O --> the USB switch does its thing, now the key and I/O is disconnected from the online computer, the offline computer sees it --> offline computer verifies, asks user via LCD, signs, and "pushes the button" via I/O, etc etc There is no direct connection between both computers. Just a USB storage, which should be possible to secure on the offline-computer side. The whole process only needs the user to use armory on the online computer and press "accept" on the offline computer once. What else? Everything is USB-powered. We might even power the whole setup via the one USB connector from the online computer. This would then be the only wire to the offline computer. The offline computer would only be running when the online computer runs. It would be a neat, tiny solution. We might fit everything into such a "money box", and securely fix it to the wall: http://www.colourbox.de/preview/1632272-905639-rot-metall-box-zur-aufbewahrung-von-geld-isoliert-auf-weis.jpgWith the buttons and LCD visible from outside. At least noone will just grab it.. What do you guys think? Ente |

I'd like to use a 3D printer to print QR codes for private/public keys in the center of some opaque solid plastic object that would have to be broken/cut in half to reveal the codes.
More durable than a paper wallet and could be hidden in all manner of innocent-looking 3D structures. . . .
I like that idea! How about some fugly chinese "may wealth be upon your path" statue? With the current exchangerate-action there is no excuse to not have a 3D printer by now ;-) Ente |
