I have written them many times about the $1000 they have owed me for over a month and was getting replies saying they were working on it but these last two weeks no reply.... has anyone opened a ticket in the last two weeks and heard back from them?
Is there any update to this? |

How do I export so I can see the private keys with each of my addresses?
From Bitcoind you can export the keys but if you are using accounts, you will need to do the export for each account. See: - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/4633/153Pywallet is a utility that will export the keys. Just make sure you have closed the client before accessing the database with pywallet. And make sure you make a good backup of your wallet.dat before doing any of this. |

I also offer my help to program something that does not need deep protocol knowledge (maybe frontend code or so) in python.
Armory and Electrum are both written in Python I believe. There are a number of other projects in Python as well. |

Looks like Josh Sankey took a page out of @TheRealPlato's book and is making his way from NYC to LA with no cash, simply bartering something that he feels strongly about. In Plato's case the barter currency was Bitcoin. In Josh's case it is ... bacon! Seriously ... bricks of bacon. Except this Josh dude has thousands of them to trade! Oscar Mayer.has backed his trip. http://www.baconbarter.com/ Though I didn't yet see in his list of requests any Bitcoin, that doesn't mean he's not looking to do a trade! He's almost halfway across the country, but hopefully someone enroute will get a trade in! It won't be the first bitcoin to bacon barter, as that happened previously at least once, at PorcFest a couple months ago:  And this is for real bacon, not the code word <whisper> bacon</whisper> discussed previously. But it would be neat to see a trade like this made. Josh can be reached: - https://twitter.com/baconbarter - https://www.facebook.com/OscarMayerAnyone? |

Will it drop because mining is suddenly not feasible for FPGA and GPU miners? FPGAs have a ton better efficiency for electric consumption than do GPUs. I doubt any FPGAs will be unplugging for a while, and the same with GPUs where the electricity is fee (e.g., included in rent) Mostly what will matter is when the shipments begin to arrive. If they were to ship in quantity at the end of October I doubt the charts would even register a disturbance if half the GPUs start to unplug about a month later. |

We want to hear what you think.
Nice design. But you are escrowing bitcoins, and operating anonymously? |

why does it take so long for bitcoins being received to be Confirmed?
A transaction is confirmed once a miner includes it in a block Most transactions confirm fairly quickly, entering either the next block or the one right after, and then from there confirming within an hour when the six confirming block is hit. Other transactions are not included by miners right away -- perhaps they are low priority because they look like spam, or there was no transaction fee paid, or the coin was new (had been used in a transaction shortly before being sent to you). Adding a fee, just above the minimum even, generally will put your transactions in the front of the line. At any point in time there are hundreds, sometimes thousands, of transactions that have not yet been included in a block: - http://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactionsi have an offline wallet with perfect connection
If you have an offline wallet that means it is kept offline, and thus not connected. Did you mean something else? |

I knew that Burning Man is huge and that there are a lot of people that go, but i had no idea that Burning Man WAS ABSOLUTELY HUGE and that THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE that went.  I didn't go but just saw a link to a video. This video was captured by private drone (ya, ... private drones, .. welcome to 2012!): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftsNhUKAJ-sAn aerial video shows the enormity of the event unlike what any photo slideshow even begins to hint at. Here's satellite photo:  - http://www.flickr.com/photos/thejaymo/7986877363/Here's a video of their Burn Wall Street, in which burned in effigy were bank buildings with the names "Bank of Un-America", "Merrill Lynched", "Goldman Sucks" and "Chaos Manhattan".  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KPrLgWHMF0I got the link for the drone video from the Burn census that counted 744 hexayurts. If there ever are significant dislocations of people, I suspect Bitcoin, Hexayurt, and mesh networking (Free Network Foundation) can help in the resettlement and provide structure going forward more than any other plans that exist would do in an environment of austerity.  - http://www.Hexayurt.com The drone is flown using UHF RC: - http://www.dragonlinkstore.com/v2/Incidentally, there's a bet related to this: Human Injury Due To Drone Within The U.S. In 2012 - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=631[Edited: added links, burn wall street and hexayurt.] |

Also what wallet will be the most secure method of storing such an investment? For a larger amount of funds, you want to give a larger amount of attention to security. Here's a good article on cold storage: - http://codinginmysleep.com/bitcoin-cold-storage-in-plain-english/It is as simply as using a computer where you unplug the network cable, boot to a LiveOS like Ubuntu, load the html from BitAddress.org that you previously saved to a thumb drive, and hit print. Make a few to hold like $1K worth on each. Then store two copies of each in secure locations (a safe, or a hollowed out book, whatever you would use).

BTC price will go up from here.
And why do you believe that to be the case? |
|

If I do 10,000, would they still all show up?
10K transaction is still a trivially small amount of storage. They will still show, but don't expect your client to perform very well when you start to have that many. Ask anyone who has been running a Martingale betting bot. After a while it just bogs. The next version of the Bitcoin.org client (next after v0.7) will likely include a combination of changes that will help with this (LevelDB for performance and ultraprune for reducing disk space requirements). |

Any problems or improvements to this cash transaction protocol? Yes, the max per day is $500. [Update: max per-trx is $1,000 and max per-day is $4,000, or less if using Moneygram.] I'm still remembering the Dwolla limit as $500 for some reason. So you would either need to make multiple transactions (cash deposit at multiple locations, presumably) and fees would be higher then. |

A lot of Bitcoin-based trading was going on in the foyer. People were exchanging bitcoins for cash of course, but they were also buying T-shirts, posters, Bitcoin Magazines, Casascius coins, etc. Also people were sending and receiving BTC to settle up restaurant bills. Some were buying BFL products with Bitcoins.
For many people, it was the first time they had made mobile BTC transactions. People were generating, scanning and photographing QR codes all the time. Plenty of different mobile clients were in use, including blockchain.info and InstaWallet (whose developer, Jan, was at the conference).
Internet access was reported as being crummy, mobile phone data must have been sufficient then. I see this same challange for other mobile payment methods, and for fraud prevention they only work with mobile signal and not Wi-Fi. Bitcoin is one of the few that works with either mobile data or wi-fi. (and doesn't need to be full wi-fi either, it could be locked down to just a few bitcoin wallet sites and the port left open for bitcoin P2P.) |

Either BFL runs Apple or Apple runs BFL, with a business model like that where can it take them...........(to the top?)
Apple or not, there are specific laws regarding pre-payment for orders. I'm not sure of the specific timeframe but if they accept payment and then cannot deliver, they'll be offering to refund the full amount paid. It isn't ten weeks or whatever down the road, it is maybe 14 days, or 30 days, something like that. That's why most merchants in the U.S. only collect your credit card info and don't actually charge it until the order is about ready to be shipping. Also ....  You can be assured that Apple is not using the proceeds from pre-sales as capital to fund their R&D. i.e., your money is not being put at risk. |

Interesting ... it is a bug in Chrome, apparently, fixed in Chrome v19.
Man that looks horrible though. Can anyone else confirm this issue? I wonder if simply removing the blue background from the CSS for now would be better than trying to limp through. It really looks like the site was hacked or something, it just looks bad. |

Just hoping I haven't lost my BTC to the nether...
They've been around for more than a year, and the operator is an active member of the Bitcoin community. On the left hand side of the site is e-mail and phone number. Have you tried either? |

Would it be possible to encrypt some data using a wallet address as the public key, then only the owner of the wallet could decrypt the data?
A public key needs to be communicated but there are no methods where a bitcoin address (just a derivative of the private key) works as the public key for encrypting a message. If Bitcoin had a payment request protocol, the public key could be communicated through that. This is discussed here: 19:31 gavinandresen gmaxwell: I'd like it to be generic enough that lots of interesting applications can be built, like private messages between sender and receiver.
19:31 gavinandresen gmaxwell: ... and I think those interesting applications CAN be built if we can get an immutable hash attached to a transaction, as jgarzik says
19:33 gavinandresen (e.g. private message from receiver back to sender can easily be done if the metadata includes my public gpg key and, maybe, my email address)
19:33 gavinandresen (private message the other way can be done if we've got a payment protocol so I get the recipients public key, etc etc)
19:33 gmaxwell gavinandresen: That doesn't work unless you have a cannel to get the metadata to the other end. If you have that you can just send the same metadata signed with the scriptsig's keys.
19:34 gavinandresen gmaxwell: hmm? gpg key plus email address is enough to send me a private message.
19:34 gavinandresen gmaxwell: encrypt that bit of metadata with the recipient's public key and that opens up secure, private communication
19:35 gmaxwell You don't have the recipents public key, not with any existing address type.
19:35 gavinandresen right, I agree we need a payment protocol.
