Yes, I'm holding to any Bitcoin I can hold, and with this recent downtrend pretty much all of the coins I own end up in a "savings" account, waiting for better days to trade and buy goods  |

Define something bad. Bad things may happen, and Bitcoin still be usable and useful...
People would probably turn to Litecoin if Bitcoin stopped being usable

This should probably be on Off-topicThe guy probably got tired of mining  |

How do you know the USB key is safe? Then change "USB key" into "SD card", and make sure it's properly erased before use? Yes, that's better, and putting the SD on read only while on the offline machine is another assurance of safety... Is an SD exploitale through hardware this way? How do you know the USB key is safe? Then change "USB key" into "SD card", and make sure it's properly erased before use? CD ROM is best. Cannot be altered once finalised, so you can use uncompromised systems to check whether the contents of the CD ROM have been burned as per your instructions (and so you can reliably detect whether your Armory dependencies packages are definitely what they purport to be). Also, as the OP states, these instructions will work for Debian 7 "wheezy" and Debian 8 "jessie". Ubuntu is essentially a bloated fork of Debian, targetting the consumer/business market. Not really necessary for offline Armory as such, Debian will do the job just as well. CD is indeed the best, but it will make costs higher. One will probably need an external CD drive and CD's to burn  Cheaper than losing all the coins though, that for sure... |

I hope no country accepts Bitcoin as an official currency. Countries and government better stay put and avoid talking about, having opinions about or even trying to regulate something that can't be regulated... They shouldn't say yes or no to Bitcoin. They should say nothing at all... My prediction: the concept of a "country" will be obsolete by the time bitcoin gains majority acceptance in any of the regions that were once considered as such.
That is a nice theory/concept  Well the truth is that no country needs to accept Bitcoin for Bitcoin to succeed. All that they need to do is not ban it. Bitcoin doesn't need to become national currency, Bitcoin only needs to be a currency on the Internet.
As Andreas Antonopoulos has said, Internet finally has its currency, some 20 years later and together, Internet and Bitcoin are unstoppable. Internet is the only country that Bitcoin needs in my opinion.
Couldn't have said it better |

Definitely not the end. We are just at the beginning... That's why we have discussions on how to improve If we were at the end, most of the rough edges would probably already be treated |

Everyone warned about those kinda of websites... No wonder outsourced creation of vanity addresses handled incorrectly can can issues...
If you have proof that they stole the funds themselves you should post something on scam accusations.

No. I'll just stick it to the majority, either it being Core, XT, or whatever comes (whether I like it or not), under the risk of not being able to send/receive transactions and not being able to buy/sell goods to users of the longest/most accepted chain/chain with most hashrate.
You may get the both, check this guide - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157679.0. is the keyword |

Yes, let's just forget about them, they should have been buried years ago...

After this slight price dump, it can only go up so accumulators and manipulators sell high |

They are probably waiting on nation wide acceptance and regulation of Bitcoin. As for regulation, they can get a chair and wait until infinity |

Good to see your coins are selling fast. Unfortunately having fiat options bumped your sales... in fiat And not in Bitcoin... Can't wait to see your next designs Hope they're also clean and simple. |

How do you know the USB key is safe? I'd gladly blind-trust binaries on the Armory page than any USB key. I've had USB keys being used in a countless amount of computers and caught quite a few viruses (fortunately none contaminated any of my machines. So far). There are also keys rumored to be tampered with from their factories and hardware exploits... I think some questions you've been making on this subforum and the fact you don't trust no one at whatever cost are a good thing, but I had to question this, since you seem to care a lot about security (I do too. But maybe not as much as you, or not as much as I should ) |

Page isn't there anymore. Sorry, I must have messed up when copy/pasting the link. Should work now. Thanks, it works now The work isn't finished. Long story short, the ideal solution is to upgrade the Armory codebase to Python 3, which has much better internationalization/Unicode support. It's far more difficult under Python 2, and prone to weird bugs too. IIRC, we had one translation (Icelandic?) we tried sticking in. We found that it broke a lot of our code and had to abandon it. The aforementioned Python 3 upgrade is something that must come sooner or later. The question is when exactly we will make the jump. It definitely won't be in time for 0.94. Honestly, I'd be surprised if anything is released before the year's out, but that's just a personal opinion, not official policy. I've been surprised before. All right... I'll probably be around when a transition happens I bet that there are many users who would be willing to help on translations for several languages... |

If that person does not own coins on any existing blockchain, he can't send any coins...
Right, but it's not our case. Then excuse me, maybe I did not understood your post. Maybe you meant coins existing on a certain address on only one blockchain/a transaction only mined on one chain? Either way, one blockchain will be dropped... But anyways, my opinion is just that, my opinion, not based on facts. Just an hypothesis, like your first post. Unfortunately crystal balls don't work, at least yet |

Another tale of mainstream media going at bitcoin Financial experts thinking this is their beloved fiat... How wrong can they be... They're going to get hurt if they enter Bitcoin with this attitude. Anyways, he is probably referring to the uncertainty related to a blocksize increase, and not the increase itself. |

Good to see big players voicing their opinions. That being said, it's true, they aren't supporting XT specifically, they're supporting a BIP. What if this BIP reaches Core? Would they still be supporting XT?  |

I wonder if i in the future we will see payments in the actual gas pumps, but the problem is it's known by everyone that carrying a phone number while on a gas pump station is not a good idea because explosions have happened before.
Source? There have been many reports throughout the years about cell phones causing explosions on gas stations, but no science proves it's true, so that gas station concept that emerged on the forums a few months back could perfectly well be used. BillyBobZorton: Either way that's not really an issue, as nowadays you have to go inside gas stations to pay |

I'm not getting this thread... There will be no "coin doubling". This has already been discussed on this sub-forum. 3. After the fork find someone who owns coins not existing on the both blockchains and ask them to send few satoshis to your account, do it for the both blockchains. Those lucky owners of coins that don't exist on the other blockchain will likely be miners or guys who managed to get their transaction not included into the other chain. I expect that the market will react to the fork by selling such special coins slightly more expensive than their face value.
One can't ask someone to do such a thing. If that person does not own coins on any existing blockchain, he can't send any coins... Because he doesn't have them. If I don't own 1 BTC I can't send anyone 1 BTC, like if I don't own 1 USD/EUR/CNY/whatever, I can't send them this money I do not have. if this was even possible, nobody guarantees there would be someone mining a transaction on the "losing" chain. There will be no special coins... 1 BTC = 1 BTC. If coins are "not existing on both blockchains", then they don't exist. There will be no business for the "losing" fork. If one has vested interest and is far deep within Bitcoin he will follow the "winning" chain (whether he likes XT or Core), under the risk of losing everything he has on a fork that will not succeed. |
