I am still using blockchain.info wallet on android. It is very basic but works. I mainly use it to display an address QR code for bitcoin ATMs.

It did not say much about the bitcoin technology. At least it is not negative, so people who watched it will not be scared away. We need more coverage on bitcoin on CNN and Bloomberg like this one.

Never heard of this! Running a node gets you a lottery ticket to win $10. Not bad.

They do not care what is right or wrong, they kill to get attention. They will take pride when they force a government to comply with their terms but none do.

I want bitcoin to go mainstream to challenge the banking system. We want bitcoin to succeed just to prove we are able to see the potential right from the beginning when the majority is dismissing it. I am not supporting bitcoin for profit, I have too little to matter.

The difficulty is a direct result of network hashing power and a bit of luck. Instead of saying difficulty is way to hard, we should say there are way too much hashing power.

I don't usually sit and wait for confirmations. I will check back an hour later and transactions are always confirmed.

Facebook is dying with or without bitcoin. Facebook is about keeping in touch and communication, and they are failing to do that with their stupid ads and email spam.

I do not watch the price much. I buy a small amount of bitcoin periodically. Bought at dip, bought at bounce, bought at peak. Done all that. Dead cat or not, in a few years I will be glad I bought bitcoin when it is as cheap as now.

I looked at the pi2 specs and the price, I was shocked. Around the same price as pi1 and 6x cpu power. This is a fantastic piece of gear to toy around with.

While the attacking pool trys to mine 6 block to reverse the transaction, the main chain is also mining. The attacking pool needs double the hash rate of the main chain to achieve this attack Or be very lucky. Too risky for any pool to try.

Is Pi2 going to be powerful enough for full Windows 10? I think it is going to be a slim down version of Windows, like RT on surface.

How about the email account with a previous backup of your wallet? If hackers have your old wallet backup, they can extract your private keys.

It is plausible McDonalds' will start to accept bitcoin in selected stores in major countries as a marketing campaign. We know that global sales are dropping and they need a new breed of customers.

Didn't some members here have their blockchain wallet hacked because they were using tor? Other members here said accessing wallet through tor is not safe anymore. Use a paid VPN instead.

I know bitstamp also need to verify your ID before letting you withdraw fiat. You might get away with KYC policy if you withdraw ripple. Split your coins into small piles and use a new account everytime could help.

Central banks have too much too worry about, like latest economic figures, fiat money supply interest rates, exchange rates. They do not care about bitcoin. They may warn people about bitcoin, not attack it.

An old block eruptor will earn you less than 1000 satoshis a day. You will get more from faucets. It belongs in the museum.

Will this relay IP gives some location information of the person who created the transaction? Some users are using tor just to hide that IP, are they wasting their effort?

I will choose 11.
My niece loves everything pokemon, this will make him very happy.
