Just know the basics outside from just creating a bitcoin address. You should also be aware of backing up the balance known as a .dat file depending on what wallet type you choose, incase something does happen you can always restore the original balance.

if you type in wallet.dat in the search area on the top right you`ll get a lot of tutorials that shows you this.

$1,000 can be done next year or maybe this year depending on those bitcoin co.s investments turn out.

More services are being added so we might see a slight increase if its getting very user friendly. Or we find out more bitcoin ATM are available to new users to go buy their 1st bitcoin. Of course, this is all speculation but I figure $400ish then $300.

Wait where did you get your stats? can you screen cap your picture on your prediction.. is it the trendline you are seeing?

I mean it can break at $160 you say but it can also retract back upwards within mins as well back to $200ish.

I would also add on look at the prices of bitcoin 3 years or 2 years ago.

Still in the 200 range, and the only spike where it lifted off like crazy was the obvious mt.gox price manipulation which lead to $1,000.

Some people keep on saying it`ll rise, but I see more less events creating a user base for bitcoin.

Pretty smart.

I think most can learn from this, is that its better to not chase trades that may or may not go up. I tooken a similar approach with bitcoin as well, I earn most of mine and thats obviously with other misc work or signatures like 90% users are on this forum.

But I will never go buy it, and yeah some people call me a fool, but how can you call a fool when someones trying to predict the future?

Does anyone know when they re-stock their physical miners, since everything says sold out.

Like I dont know how long I`ll wait around to get one, but I might just end up going with the cloud service they have if its taking way too long then expected.

or do you just recommend me buying it someone on the forum or ebay?

I`m just looking from a investment stand point. Plus lawyer is going to cost you a retainer or hrly depending the person is, and in california its expensive even small litigation process like this that would fall under small claims court.

I dont know where youre from, but if the lawyers rate is going to add up to another KNC miner like why bother?

Its just being smart and taking the 3 btc offered which is $740 total at current rate. Plus this is going through international areas where it could be a way longer process. Unless you have someone to represent you in Sweden.

I`m not trying to protect them in any form, I just assume whats the best route given the options available.

Damn, that really sucks. But atleast you got options, then BFL crap where you get nothing at all right?

In this option, I would take the option 2, get the 3 btc and call it a day. Then buy a spoondlies hardware to make up for this loss of time, they also offer cloud mining, but seeing you want a physical hardware just get it once they are available.


I mean if you really think about it, its a better version of loss of time then having nothing at all. I still cry when I could of been a BFL victim.

Most will recommend bitmain, but it depends on your budget really. If you use it as a hobby wise instead of always looking for profit, I`d say you can go with the spoondles.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521520.0

Thats the main thread, and they outperform the bitmain products and are more friendly in shelf space. Its price is still around bitmains though so its more of a preference plus having extra margins of difference of performance.

The only reason why I see bitcoin doesnt replace fiat, is because its not known as a official currency that most people trust.

Under the keyword of "trust", is a huge thing but on a global scale that once people know about it. I run into so many faces that still dont know or ever heard of bitcoin and it amazed me that I`m still in front of the early stages.

Being on this forum is like an early stage itself, since most will never know where to go besides the reddit/r/bitcoin

But going back to the fiat issue, its simply competing against the dollar that everyone knows about it thats been around for awhile. Versus trying to do all that in a short span of time in not even possible, and to get users to leave completely away from it is impossible.

I actually have a fair amount of work, but this requires some technical stuff that I can teach.

Outside from that, do you have skills with photoshop like simple stuff at all? also, how much are your rate.

Or do you mind taking a split based on %, and take it as on-going work.

Op, its great you throwing a giveaway with new alt coins you want to eventually pump up the price.

But there are sections of this forum you can do this on, click the edit, then lower left it says advance options to move topic > gambling since this is a giveaway.

Its good to have threads like this, but what I`m amazed is the little to zero reactions.

Has everyone got some bit of bitcoin back or am I just hearing things? It sucks that their site is still up though, so that means every single newbie that hasnt discovered this thread or the past history with them is going to be a new victim.

Similar how BFL stopped shipping miners, and I saw a few who bought it since they saw the monarch being a huge deal to them.

I got mining gear to get rid of like BFL 60gh/s but the cost of shipping is not worth it.

If you were local, maybe you can pick this up and do something as a hobby.

I`m only keeping 1 unit as a historic item, for bitcoin history, but have plenty of these. I might just wrap this as christmas presents and give it to my friends maybe.

I say if the ETF doesnt happen, I would see similar to how facebook went public on got more public funds.

It wouldnt be facebook obviously, but I`m referring to companies such as SF location esp silicon valley raising funds then selling out at IPO is old news.

So companies like Coinbase for example, would effect traditional investors thus having more skin in the game for price movement.

or it may not be so public at 1st, it would be in on sites like this https://sharespost.com/private-market-insights/sharespost-100-list/

I predict 1,000% increase if coinbase goes public.

Taking a private company, and goes public and get a ton of investors who want to be involved but not touch bitcoin directly and still make a profit.

But, who knows it may or may not happen, seeing how facebook did it why not coinbase right?

Some people call it a fools dream, but then again those fools are billionaires today who doubted them.

Not calling on which way it will go, because I dont see the future nor have that ability. I know that it`ll be a potential big movement though in money if you do pass like a traditional type fund for bitcoin like an etf or a stock, eg: coinbase going public or something, then being involved in bitcoin without the crash.

I think if we had a universal huge thread on all the scams, it would be so long like 7 pages deep.

Each one to its own category, like ponzis, from bait and switch buying bitcoin.

Not using escrow, as the first level noobish type scams, to higher level of scams like butterfly labs.

way harder then you think lol.

I mean you do have a right direction I give you credit for that. But, if there is already service out there in the btc community most are using we are pretty much limited on what business we can even start ya know?

Their support sucks, so even if you provided the right info just consider them as another coinbase.

Just like how coinbase offers to give bitcoin, but its to them reject or honor prices for their own "risks". Because even though you fulfill every requirement that they do ask, it all means nothing to them.
