Are paper wallets really secure?
I want to hold some BTC and I want o secure the best way I can.
Besides paper wallets what other options do I have?
I use paper wallet generated automatically by website. Im feeling pretty safe.
Paper wallet advantage is that you can hide it in book and its really hard to find by someone random.

Paper wallets are secure only if you take the proper precautions before printing them, the whole process should be done on an offline computer which stays offline or an air gapped OS.

Other than that you should encrypt them to protect from someone else using them and you also need to make sure you keep the paper safe from any degradation.

Electrum can be used to keep funds in a cold storage too and it is also very safe, and only thing you have to remember is your Seed.

I am sure if you have some money to invest you can probably earn more than 1 BTC in a year by day trading. The price of bitcoin fluctuates numerous times in a day and one can make good money if they're good at speculating the market movement.

Afaik, there are no strategies for it, you just play and hope that the wheel is in favor of you that day. But in my experience I've always had more luck when betting on numbers than say red/black.
445  Economy / Gambling / Re: House edge of slots? on: February 11, 2016, 07:05:00 AM
Most of the fancy slots are not provably fair, maybe its because they have lot of elements/small-games which are part of it and the house edge should be mentioned at the site you're playing at.

Don't know if that is possible or not, move it to meta and a moderator or someone more familiar with the forum software might be able to help you.
447  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future of Bitcoin on: February 11, 2016, 06:08:28 AM
the future of bitcoin is very bright in my opinion, the price of it will rise a lot in my opinion and nothing will stop it, it will even remove the banks from our world if it will be really lucky in my opinion

The future of bitcoin is bright that's for sure, but it cannot make banks disappear from the world, as there are many people who have more faith in traditional banking system and not on any digital currency.

It is bright but only if the world nations accept it, the laws in different part of the world are still unclear and until they make it clear, most of the merchants will stay away from it.

Needs a lot of work IMHO, can't make out the subject of the site as everything looks hotchpotch, you said you wanted to make it a bitcoin reference directory but I don't think its anywhere near that and needs a more modern look, the site looks way old-styled.

how the development of bitcoin in your country?
whether in your country banned the use of bitcoin?

Development is quite slow, there are a few exchanges which allow users to buy/sell bitcoins but the verification process is a pain the ass and it takes a lot of time. Other than that I am not aware of any companies/services directly accepting bitcoin and maybe that is because it is not yet completely legal, sort of in a grey area atm, whatever that means.
451  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex disappeared my history on: February 10, 2016, 07:39:41 AM
it's normally friend, i get it too...
this feature released arround 6month ago, before it i can see any deposit history and trade history from my bittrex account

That's weird. Why would they delete history, I have an account there but haven't logged on in a while since I don't trade alts anymore but will check if they have cleared my history as well. OP have you asked the support about this?
452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin or escrow on: February 10, 2016, 07:31:01 AM
Few weeks ago i made a topic called PayPal or Bitcoin. Now i am asking you which one do you think is more convenient in general. Bitcoin OR escrow.  Smiley Smiley Smiley

Read up on things before asking nonsensical questions like this next time, so you don't end up making a complete fool of yourself.

Today India match was totally fixed because the whole market was on India, so they totally changed on srilanka from starting

It felt like that, didn't it? they were literally throwing their wickets away, when a team is down 2-3 wickets in first few overs, you expect the experience batsmen to play safe and make sure that they play till the end but no one was trying to play ground shots, as if they wanted to give away catches.
454  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Steam accept Bitcoin soon? on: February 09, 2016, 06:55:08 AM
Bitpay is helping a lot of companies accept bitcoin payments who don't wish to accept it directly, Wargaming recently started accepting BTC as well and therefore Steam must be looking to do the same.
455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is scary.. Potentially, could this stop BTC adoption in the long run? on: February 09, 2016, 06:45:44 AM
That's expected from a communist nation, they make their own rules and citizens have to follow them, even if they're right or wrong. I don't think if they decide to do this, it'll affect Bitcoin in any way. The world doesn't have to follow China.
456  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: February 09, 2016, 06:25:55 AM
Afaik, in Switzerland, the use of paper money has been reduced quite significantly cmiiw, I think I saw in news about this and instead of using paper money they do wire/card transactions to cut down on illegal trades and soon other nations will follow this and move to digital currencies.
457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: February 09, 2016, 06:19:27 AM
Today got two good matches to bet and watch.

1st T20 match between India and Sri Lanka - This will be a very good match to watch and for betting purpose India may be a better option - what you think?

3rd one day match between South Africa and England - Both teams are equally strong but from recent history I think England may win this match.

After winning series against Australia, Indian players confidence boosted very high and if they continue like that than they can win this match but some times over confidence may back fire so it is better to wait for the live match to bet.

I too feel England may win this match because SA is not doing that great in this whole series.

That and Kohli afaik is not in the team, so that's one batsman Sri Lankans don't have to worry about and SL didn't perform too well in their last tournament, hence, it should be an easy win for Indians.

On the other match I feel South Africans will fight back today.
458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What makes a new gambling website stand out? on: February 09, 2016, 06:06:36 AM
First of all they need to provide provable fairness in whatever games they're making the site with, secondly a leaner interface which can run almost all the platforms, promotions and advertising is very much necessary for the newer sites for people to leave the site they're use to playing and go to the new one and lastly keep everything transparent. It will take time but if one is really keen on making a place for them then it will happen.
459  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Doubling Bitcoin? on: February 08, 2016, 04:27:02 AM
I'm sort of new to bitcoin, I've made a couple bucks already from visiting ad sites, doing faucets, etc, but is there any other way to earn easy cash? Anyone got any suggestions?

how do you double your FIAT money? well that's your answer.

Fold it up and put it in your pocket?

That's the best you can do OP, just keep working/buying bitcoins and hodl them and when the price doubles you would have doubled your Bitcoins with it.

I for one don't know any trusted BTC investment sites that insures users funds, neither of them are safe enough to use, most of all the investment sites in the past have turned to be Ponzis and ran away with users funds. And lending without collateral is almost same as throwing it away. But this is my understanding, do what you should with your money.
