Never heard of that site. Maybe you'll have better luck on Service Discussions

If having money becomes a crime, then unfortunately there won't be enough prisons for everyone guilty of committing such a crime.

Well, I guess we've got a pretty interesting topic going on here. To start off my post I'd like to say I don't consider myself an expert user. I'd also like to say that I'm using Armory as my offline/cold storage, after a period of testing with very small quantities of Bitcoin and getting used to different wallets in offline mode, I found Armory very useful and it's the one I feel better with.

That being said, back on topic. This has actually made me see the USB issue in a different way. For example, I wasn't aware of the illusion created by USB SD card readers As I wasn't aware of the fact that some laptop readers are connected via USB too.

I know there is a high improbability of me or anyone else (especially people with low amounts of Bitcoin) to be targeted by such hardware attacks. But I do not use USB in my offline machine (Raspberry Pi) just in case. I now also realize my system may be compromised, as I flashed Raspbian on my SD using my laptop's SD reader.

Here's a suggestion to the OP: drop the SD's and the USB's on your offline system and use a webcam (easy way) or the audio interface (hard way). I use a webcam in my Raspberry setup to send transactions to the online computer. For your offline linux machine, I'd recommend qtQR, easy to use and powerful. I've tried the audio interface previously with another Bitcoin client, but I failed to set it up and eventually gave up on the idea.

My system may have flaws, but I think the ease of use of what I have is pretty well balanced with the security of the system (which I think it is secure enough)


As far as I understood SD's are more secure, as they do not rely on the HID class (correct me if I'm wrong), which is a vector used for attacks. And no, SD connecting through the USB only gives and illusion of safety.

No. It's not a goal of the dev to have a mobile client that can do such.

If you really need the private key you have to import your breadwallet seed on MultiBit HD and then dump the key. Keep in mind that after importing the seed elsewhere you should consider it compromised and create a new one on breadwallet. Don't forget to send your funds elsewhere before creating a new seed.

Also, there's an official topic for breadwallet, you'd probably want to go there if you want an answer from the dev, he's probably paying attention to that thread mostly

qtQR is a nice option if it works on openSUSE At least it seems to be avaliable

Same old story of if you can't beat them, join them. The governments obviously have to profit with cryptocurrencies somehow (they have to profit with everything that exists on the face of the earth...).

The US government has auctioned seized coins. One way to profit As for what you say, who knows? Might be true.

The biggest problem is we still don't have many merchants accepting it Other than that, it's going pretty good.

It's questionable to consider XT a new currency. It's exactly the same Bitcoin, but with another set of rules. It's just a proposal for what people think that might improve the network. It uses the same blockchain, the same algo, the same everything we all know from Bitcoin. So I don't think it fits a new currency.

To consider XT a new currency, we would have to consider Bitcoin as a "new Bitcoin" each time a BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) was introduced.

It doesn't. The coins you have there will remain after the fork, if there is one. They will also "survive" any fork, obviously, as the blockchain is still the same.

The issue is the questionability of claiming that XT is an altcoin, as running XT gives access to exactly the same network as using Core (the fork cannot be triggered right now even if it had 100% network support). The blockchain is the same, the difference is a set of rules that are triggered in certain conditions.

In its own turn, the fork code on XT can (questionably) be an improvement (or not) to Bitcoin, and not a spinoff/fork by itself.

The reason is theymos considers XT to departure from the original ideals of the Bitcoin project, thus being an altcoin. This has already been discussed. Here's a statement from theymos regarding the issue.

First and foremost if your phone fell in the water, clean it, dry it, and put in rice for a few hours before attempting anything. And then you can follow what other users have very well written: ADB via Download Mode

Maybe a guide like this?

But using an external API raises a new set of problems: the addresses aren't in your control, they're from a Coinbase wallet. On the upside it's probably easier to implement (? not sure, I never really used such a thing).

The usual. Another cloud mining service acting shady...

Exactly, not to mention the fact that two Bitcoins would be the worse outcome, confusing users and making people escape from Bitcoin because it would be confusing.

There would be two "Bitcoins" serving the same purpose which would be redundant and a complete chaos/mess/deorganization. People could end up paying others accepting the "Core" chain with "XT" coins.

Because of that, the probability of the smaller fork surviving is really low. It's like someone disconnecting their internet because they don't agree where the line was placed on the street.

Only now noticed... Two more blocks were mined with big block support. Were they from Slush too or do we have a new miner?

Also curious about this. Probably some by mathing balances and trasnactions? or maybe this information became public with the Mt Gox investigation?

Are you trying to run a website for selling goods or similar? Electrum can integrate with a website to do such a thing: generate an address for each payment. There are also wordpress plugins that work the same way, but you have to give those plugins your xpub key.

Otherwise I'm not sure how to handle what you want automatically. As far as I've read, Bitcoin Core is not a good start for a service like this.

Hope this can guide you further in your research...

To start off my post, if you don't have the private key, the keys aren't yours.

That being said, the security issue lies in the fact that you don't truly know if an exchange has your coins offline. As we saw from the Mt Gox incident, coins were all online at some point, prone to be stolen by a hacker (which apparently did happen, at some time in Mt Gox's history), so there's your risk. As we know, someone with resources and time can do pretty much anything on the internet.

Even if your coins are offline, you have to trust someone from the exchange isn't simply going to run off with them.

I'd say the risk of a Mt Gox-like event isn't high, but it's not impossible and there doesn't need to be another Mt Gox-like fiasco for your coins to be stolen.

The system will never evolve in the direction of banks. The objective of the system is the exact opposite, and a bank is definitely not safe or "bulletproof".

I hope my post is clear and a valid answer to your question, at at least to part of your question.

Another offer to buy the forums! At least this buyer has a pretty nice budget I bet theymos will entertain your offers
