Recovering your Armory backup gets all of your coins back. Maybe you had coins on two different wallets? If you want you can dump all private keys, but that will take too much time and do pretty much the same thing...

BTW, this version of Armory can be considered obsolete. Next time create a new thread

This is really great, but I wonder if anyone else got the message... They were probably all sleeping. I doubt he will be fired or replaced, but I don't think the EU Parliament is really keen on having anything to do with Bitcoin at the moment (judging by the lack of regulamentation... which is good )

I'm guessing here, but maybe payments on that hotel are made only when you arrive there and not online (thus, you have 0 to pay and they say they only need your data)

I'm also seeing it. Maybe you can't book some hotels with Bitcoin? Send a message to their support and ask...

This has been pretty much everywhere on the internet... I hope it's true They've been having bitcoin payment requests for quite some time and I'd definitely buy more on their store if they start accepting Bitcoin! And another plus for us, a huge merchant accepting out favorite currency!

If this is true than we just have to nuke this out of the solar system. What the hell is wrong with MIT? Just build your own blockchain and good luck.


I seriously don't know who would fall for this to begin with.


I'm glad he did

Answered Your surveys are always nice and really comprehensive. Good luck everyone for the rewards

There are many points of failure in protecting Bitcoins, even for skilled and knowledgeable people. Many things can go wrong in setting up cold storage or printing paper wallets... Or even backing up your wallet.

You can have malicious binaries, you can have a malicious OS install, you can have the OS access the internet prior to wallet creation and have it somehow hacked, you can have a broken RNG, you can install broken code or with bugs, you can have your printer exploited, you can insert and exploited USB drive in your machine, you can insert an SD card into a laptop reader thinking it is not connected via USB internally... The list is pretty much endless.

You can take many measures of security: verifying binary hashes, using very well audited code, use dummy printers, have your computer always offline, etc, but you never know if you are truly ready for a strong attack or an undiscovered bug This is my view on it. Meanwhile, I employ all I know in protecting my coins. Cold storage is definitely the safest method (for me).

If you believe you were scammed, you should make a thread about it on Scam Accusations.

Swipe to the screen on the right and you'll find it. There's a thread for breadwallet on the forums.

If law enforcement believes money is being used for illegalities they are entitled to do whatever they find useful to find criminals and/or end crimes. As for casinos, it's a time for them to adapt and serve their legit customers better... Nice time to switch to Bitcoin

Hope he has fun watching the halving behind bars, with frozen funds. He could have been a big name in Bitcoin (for the right reasons), but as far as we've seen from the info being released, he literally chose not to.

Write your own suggestion on how to improve this and present it to the devs. This is an issues that needs no fixing: Bitcoin is designed to work this way. Could it improve in being user friendly? Maybe. I don't have better suggestions. If you feel so strongly about this, you must have a way to replace the system currently in practice for something better and more user friendly.

I guess it was very convenient at this time to announce this as an inside job. They had to say something at least, and this is what makes them look better. I hope it is true though, they own the truth to their customers... Still curious on how this will end up.

If this is real... Hahaha, very well played

The usual advice... Buy now while it's cheap

What is there to explain? People want to get Bitcoins... This does not mean anyone's greedy neither that people who use Bitcoin are more greedy than people who use exclusively fiat.

Bitcoin represents many things fiat does not. But neither represent greed in its essence, not even fiat

Never heard of this wallet, but after knightdk's post... Really do not want to try it. If they go open source and stop relying on blockchain.info, I'll think about giving it a shot.

Bitcointalk is a forum, not a workplace. All moderators and staff are volunteers. The future of bitcointalk is the new forum, which is being built with brand new software.

Woah... Now this is really something different. Pretty interesting
