Thanks for linking. The news was really odd, but believable. Unfortunately they haven't provided addresses making it very unlikely to be true, and here we have a confirmation

I agree with the misleading title part. And there are many solutions like so on the market for quite a few time... Why weren't all of them news?

This is basically it

Of course he says so, but probably not because he believes that cryptocurrencies will be the future. One's got to promote their services... ATM cards and especially Apple Pay is what he's talking about, so no difference from current banking services.

I'm impressed, never seen such an ATM I guess you can step on the gas and escape if you're being robbed or something... Anyways, I don't think this would be an advantage. It would only probably be feasible if the fiat there was withdrawn very frequently by the operators.

I'm not even commenting on how this article was wrote... I almost gave up reading it in the first paragraph


The guy who wrote this would definitely prefer to write an article bashing Bitcoin Despite this fact, this is good news It will definitely lead to more people donating more.

If someone says that these guys use Bitcoin, I believe in them... Just like it's a fantastic tool for regular people, it's also a fantastic tool for terrorist groups, unfortunately. But I'd definitely like to see those addresses and proof to who they belong.

Why would they change their stance on Bitcoin after what happened? I see no correlation, even if Bitcoin is indeed used to fund terrorists... Adding VAT won't make a difference in their funding.

Couldn't have said it better... All this money going through is good for some, and others just shut their eyes to what happens.

P2P cash isn't a synonym for anonymous cash. You can remain anonymous or avoid being traced/having your multiple identities connected if you use Bitcoin correctly. I think anonymity is a good feature and the pseudo anonymous nature of Bitcoin is the best of both worlds, in my opinion. Bitcoins has its usefulness in being able to trace funds to known addresses too...

I still have pretty much the same opinion: the best way to please everyone is a dynamic blocksize. Not sure what it should depend on, but it's a more flexible solution that may come across almost every user out there.

I'd also like to add that if you import a private key, you have to have a separate backup for it... It won't be present on your regular Armory backup. Hope you're aware of that. That's why I don't recommend importing anything...

No way. Too expensive, even for a toy


I don't really see a purpose for anyone, unless one wants to have something, different, a novelty

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any subtitles on the cooling system part... But I've seen they got inspired on those "cooling walls" from China

The best and fastest way to migrate is to setup Armory offline and send your coins there. If you want to respect (1) you just have to create the raw transaction offline on Bitcoin Core and then broadcast them on an online computer.

When you "sweep", you are importing the private key + sending the funds elsewhere. When you "import", you are just importing the keys to your wallet software.

You are over complicating things with your approach, in my opinion. I like to keep my online -> offline/cold storage interactions as simple as possible (the simpler, the less mistakes you make).

As for CD's vs USB's, yes, CD's are safer. You can search around this sub-forum, this issues has been discussed quite a lot recently

Dependencies: Armory's offline packages already have them.

Why? If a system runs 0.10, it can also run 0.11. I didn't even understand why was 0.10.3 released when we had 0.11 since July. Devs need to focus on updating the most recent version...

There are obviously no viruses in Electrum... Just make sure you're downloading Electrum from the right place and that it is the correct executable. This has been happening too many times lately. Releases are signed so you can verify them.

People probably insist on this because it's "the easy way" to promote Bitcoin... Sex or sexuality sells and it was predicted all along this would happen. Not trying to defend anything, but at least at first glance there's nothing illegal with this (this is probably jurisdiction dependent, of course)

There will probably be more and more sites like these in the near future especially with the news that this kind of thing has been having

So basically investing in them = buying "cloud mining" shares? Didn't quite get what they're trying to achieve.

The only issue I've really had is lack of acceptance... Other than that I haven't had any hindrance or problem using Bitcoin I don't think volatility is an issue... It's pretty easy when you need to buy something, you just buy it Or if you don't need it immediately you wait for a price move
