Encrypt the wallet and then encrypt the wallet.dat file itself. Double win.
yes, if you just encrypt the wallet then you can still see what public keys are there and what the balance is. if you encrypt the wallet file itself nobody knows it is a Bitcoin wallet file. Let's explain this. If you encrypt the wallet using bitcoin-qt, then the public keys are left not encrypted If you encrypt it by using another tool like Truecrypt, then everything is encrypted. |

Bitcoin exists exactly to solve the problem they created. Going to speak with them is useless, if it would be useful then we would not need bitcoin, we would just go there and tell them "ehi what about stop printing money like there is no tomorrow, what about the current financial system being totally fucked, what about frozen money, what about trillions and trillions of debts, what about bailing out banks with people money etcetc"

Dunno, especially since it involve that "foundation"...

AMD says 95° is fine for it. These new cards work in a different way than older ones, it is normal for them to be hot when fully used, this allow for more performance for loads that don't get the card so hot (gpu mining is much more intensive than gaming)

No, corruption would totally fuck bitcoin.

The new R9 290X happily works at 95°  55°? Well that is cold. This said, please note that mining bitcoin with a GPU is wasted time, these days not even with an ASIC (wich make tens of thousands of MH/s) it is profitable, let alone with a GPU. If you want to use your gpu to mine, move to litecoin. |

Just run bitcoin qt, clic Receive coins and there you can see your addresses, as you said, clic New Address and a new one will be generated. You seems confused, do you know how addresses are created? They come from private keys, so you can't "choose" your address, the client randomly generate a private key, wich is saved in the wallet.dat file, and tell you the address. If you lose the keys, in this case, the wallet.dat file, you lose your coins. On this website for example you can generate paper wallets, to be printed https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v2.6.0-SHA1-4f1fea4620287f863473193b8d93a8f3877ba972.html Same as before, in case you use that address to receive coins, you need to have the private key to spend them, otherwise they are lost |

My failometer just exploded, fail is over 9000. Now i have to get a new failometer  |

It is funny:
there is a thread about mainstream adoption of bitcoin
and then there is the thread.
It is clear that the mainstream have no hope to adopt bitcoin, since they are even UNABLE to avoid such idiot virus and are UNABLE to properly backup their data. And they should adopt bitcoin? Ahahah nice joke

Definitely not. There isn't even a hardware wallet, someone not exactly good with computer will have tons of troubles and will lose its bitcoins. edit: after reading this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=328757.0 i totally confirm my definitely not. They are unable to avoid an idiot virus like that and are also unable to properly backup their data and we expect them to adopt bitcoin? |

* Ever Growing Block Chain (online wallets may be the solution to different other problems as well) You don't need an online wallet to solve that. Use multibit for example There was 8 digits behind comma, didn't it? So we end up with 0.00000001 being one $ct - that would be ridicolous. Maybe we would not use bitcoins, but use Satoshi instead as Currency - which would be more natural. The bitcoin-qt client already have the option to show you milliBTC instead of BTC, problem solved. Anyone can remember Italian Lire .. 20$USD = 1.000.000 Lire? (something like that) 1 dollar was like 2000 Lire |

Wow, i tought that site was ridicolous after that fail article, but now the failometer is OVER 9000 |

Remove the two partition and reformat it?
That's just it, I don't know how as sad as that sounds. I just would like to know why I ot this drastically reduced size. Not too sure on exactly how the image works and if the new size crap is somethin minepeons imaging does to be funny. It created a partition 90mb big and let the rest unallocated, so of course it is seen as 90mb big only. You have to delete them and reformat it. |

Remove the two partition and reformat it?
Right clic the 90mb, delete, right clic the other one, delete, then format it again and set it to use all the space

Nah, they aren't even understanding how bitcoin work lol. It is like when that politician said "the internet is a serie of tubes" |
|

Support them if they propose something useful. Namecoin, a scrypt coin, a coin based on the prime algorithm, these are interesting. But a bitcoin clone whose difference is only a different name? lol

There is a bit of a built-in conflict in these two requirements. To be useful in the $60 trillion global economy, the quatloo must be issued in size: there must be enough of it around to grease transactions large and small in all sorts of markets. Using the U.S. dollar as a guide (since the USD is the primary reserve currency), we can estimate that a minimum of $1 trillion in quatloos would be needed to become a practical global currency.
To act as a reserve currency, another trillion or two would be needed, as nations would hold these quatloos as reserves. (Nations hold an estimated $7 trillion in USD reserves, about $3 trillion euros and $1 trillion or so in yen, pounds and other currencies.)
But issuing quatloos in these quantities would remove any scarcity value. Thus the issuer of the quatloo would have to carefully issue more quatloos only when demand justified the need for more monetary "grease" for the global economy. They have no idea how bitcoin works. Lol at they thinking that you must "create" new money to have enough of them, their brain still don't know the concept of "more digits after the decimal point". Lol at the fact that an "issuer" must exists |

I can't run it 24 hours a day for several days for fear my ISP will throttle my bandwidth which I think they have already started doing. Is this a joke or what? This said... You only need the blockchain if you want to run bitcoin-qt and you want to act as a full node, it is not required of course. If you only use the client sometimes, i suggest you another client like Multibit. Each block is downloaded in some seconds or even less, please check the number of total blocks when the client is running, it should increase, please remember that number and the next time you start the client check if it decreased or not. |
