Keep it simple, 100 BTC cold in very well hidden fireproof safe with a backup.

GPS coords of it is PGP protected.

Peace of mind  Grin Priceless.

This sounds like the safekeeping would cost more than the worth of those coins Wink

If its an existing safe for other unimportant stuff and you only have 100 coins fast forward year 2024, well  Grin

Trypolar,

I didn't know of it, I'll check it.

Does it allow for frugal miner fee when sending coins?

Thanks.

If I have it, I'd set up a trust, not any trust a truly bulletproof trust.  Grin

Nothing else.

AKA:

The Pussy Magnet.

Guaranteed to get you laid within 1hr of driving it in public.



Are you sure? hotrod mag made a vid comparison of an old ratrod and the lambo aventador, it all came down to chicks dig the ratrod more than the aventador while random dudes was checking out the lambo, chicks were intrigued by old cars.

As for me, I don't ever need a fancy v12  Grin to impress the ladies, driving a fully restored old car was good enough. In times like these, I'm glad I'm married.

The sound of a biturbo v12 is music to my ears.  Grin

From a budget standpoint, I prefer straight six or good ol american v8, blown, cheap and easy to build. By far, the best bang for the buck.

crashed a jeep, walked away and watched cartoons. badass kid, very funny.

I gotta tell you man, back in the days nothing gets between me and tomnjerry, scoobydoo. My family lived out in the sticks, after a long day at the farm, coop in the summer, me and my siblings watched cartoons over snacks and coke. Ahh those were the days.  Grin

Well some people have access to idled extra rows of cabinets old servers in a noc, free power and hardware equals time to get creative with mining low diff alt coins.

Any 12 cylinder cars.

Well, I'm on a tight budget and got a more realistic project.

Bought it for $500, was a basketcase, it sat for years until I got around to fix it.

1970 240Z Restomodded, homebrewed most of it including homebrew machinining,
I know the Z like the back of my hand. Total out of pocket was only 5k.

apple seems to have a only baseline for btc and some bitcoin ticker but i havent seen any wallet application from them
well hopefully they will update it soon its nice to have an on the go wallet while you are away from your computer and using an apple phone when android is not available


Blockchain wallet app is still up and running for jb'd devices, non jbd though had to get them prior 12/13.

The appstore even had a cpu miner for mining scrypt coins only hashing at a measly 32khs, u had to set up a stratum proxy elsewhere though, perfect for when everyones iphone is mining for your account.  Grin

AAPL should allow Bitcoin wallet apps provided the source is available for peer review.

16  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Next ASIC upgrade? on: May 29, 2014, 08:54:39 PM
Are we done developing better asics? I havent heard any new news of upgrades... Are we about done? Have we decided we cant fit any more hashing power into such as small chip and it be power effective? Or have I just not been paying attention? Also, if there is a new wave coming out, what are the specs going to be (TH/s, Power consumption, etc.)?



nothing to write home about, the next few years should be interesting though.

Functional and it looks good. The hive should be developing for ios as well.
18  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Stealth addresses? on: May 23, 2014, 09:40:35 PM
I just got sending to stealth addresses working on 1.9.8... but to be honest, DW is talking about changing format, and I don't have the time to put in all the checks necessary to make it solid.

Not to mention the current master head on github did a complete overhaul of the Transactions class, which is what I did heavy work on...

My opinion is: wait for it. It'll come eventually once stealth addresses are set in stone (in a BIP)


Good to hear it, Thanks.

20  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Next ASIC upgrade? on: May 23, 2014, 07:57:48 PM
yes. soon knc will be setting up their own mining farm.

knc already has a private mining farm.

As to the ASIC's Spondoolies-Tech has a 5.4 TH machine in the works due to be ready to ship in August of this year. They also have said they are working on their third generation miner that would have so much TH that other miners will be obsolete.

In war it's a fatal mistake to assume that you are a lot smarter than your enemies. History has proven this over and over.

The commercial world is exactly the same, and arrogance usually gets rewarded with failure and defeat. If the Israelis think they're the only people around that can design efficient asics, then they're in for a rather rude awakening.


5.4 T/H at the end of August will not mean sh*t.  It will only generate about 7 bitcoins before becoming obsolete... and how many bitcoins did it take to buy the machine?

most reliable profit calculator I've found https://cex.io/calc

well mining 'legal' under IRS rules last year and this year with deductions of 50% OFF  full equip costs 1st year rest in 5 years this was 2013 (and likely to pass again 2014 in congress i heard on the news today) 2014.....with the equip last year and in the pipe this year...it will work out ..at least for what I've done so far (I like to mine)

with electricity  and depreciation of tax burden by use of equip purchase  up to 100% for 5 years (i assume bitcoin will last that long as well as I hold and hope btc price per coin goes way up!) *heh* * my CPA says "I'm really just a Farmer" lol*

If I can  basically keep 6 coin out of every 10 coin I make. if i can run the equip out to the 100% depreciation still a pretty good deal at 50% off the 1st year
even if i find that ambitious in the long run...mining wise...i pay some to the IRS after equip is deducted but pay 2.3x as much in elec so not a big deal
the taxes paid for equipment  for the depreciation stuff imho

how the guidelines are set up as of last year and this year ...i expect it in USA taxes to change in 2016 but will play this game 'legal' as long as possible

only real regret in my area no one else to bitcoin mine co-op with..this would be a lot more fun with a group of guys in the biz together...would be a hoot!

Searing


there will always be faster hardware, I take the middle road and go from there.
