1. Is Multibit as safe as Bitcoin-Core? if not why not.... I heard electrum has its own servers so if they are down your money is locked in there unless you have another wallet to access this wallet right???
Hmm I cannot comment on the difference btween Multibit and Bitcoin-core. It is very important to backup the .wallet files if you use Multitbit. Make several copies of them. 4. This is how I have protected my wallet address>>>>>>>>>> I have Both wallet apps encrypted with a passphrase I also have a paper wallet and A backup on my USB. Anything else?
Your data is worth money, so you want that data to be safe. Several things you could do: - use encryption - make multiple backups - split money across multiple wallets - store the data on different machines |

I can verify payments from these: https://spend-co.in/ http://freebitco.infaucets are waste of time, i think you would gain more looking for lost coins in the streets to find coins on street takes much more time, but it depends in which city you look  |

I have made a dogecoin and a tacocoin faucet, and I'm thinking of making a bitcoin one.
What I am worried about is:
1) Tx Fees making it too expensive,
2) Bitcoin is much bigger, which means I am a much larger target to hackers, and it will cost more to keep funded.
Whats you view? Its difficult to make a faucet profitable. I ran a kind of faucet earlier, were you submit jokes.. daily there were 2 or 3 winning jokes who won 0.0001 BTC. So per month its 0.006 BTC (2.6 usd). The problem was there was not enough traffic - for every 1000 visitors you get about ~ 0.0025 btc trough the ad service im using. Unfortunately, traffic was about 10-20 a day. Im not quite sure why so few people were interested in btc for jokes  Anyway, it depends on these factors: - how much do you give to the users? - how much traffic do you have? - how much do advertisers give you? You'll notice in generally faucets give 0.00000400 BTC or less per day, maybe 0.0001 a week. 2) Bitcoin is much bigger, which means I am a much larger target to hackers, and it will cost more to keep funded.
You could simply put a counter on the site. Say get the value from a MySQL database, increase it. Keep and send the money on another machine (perhaps in another country/location). In that way, no risk for mtgox style hacks. |

I just joined the forum (obviously). I first heard about Bitcoin a few years ago but I was young and stupid (in hindsight!) so I didn't act on it Tongue.
I've been watching Bitcoin again for about 6 months since it's been getting more and more media exposure. Even if a lot of the exposure may seem negative we should keep in mind that even negative attention is still attention and it may help to make Bitcoin better known by the masses in the end. So I'm interested in how this develops and hoping to see Bitcoin becoming bigger. Welcome to the forum  I heard about bitcoin just about 4-5 months ago. Unfortunately there is a lot of censorship, otherwise would have gone in much sooner. I remember seeing a video of a talk between Julian Assange and Eric Schmidt on rt.com way back, they mentioned bitcoin.. and I really had to figure out what this 'bitcoin' was  . Then I got several others into it. Bitcoin has the network effect, they become more useful when others use them. The mass media you can generally ignore.. where were they when bitcoin was rising from 0.10$ to $500.. is that not news? sleezy guys bought btc themselves and did not report. You want to have your bitcoins safe, so make some copies of your wallet on other drives. In addition, avoid browser plugins you never used before - they may contain spyware. You can get btc in various ways like faucets, signature tracks, advertising, selling, services etc |

COINCOLLECTORCLUB.COM an exclusive club? PAYITCRYPTO.COM An online shop, or listing of products you can buy using btc (would require a lot of hacking) XBCWALLET.COM An online wallet, or comparison of wallet software. |

This could get really big. Are there copies of your data distributed inside the network similar to say, HDFS? Would it be possible to interact with the network using bash?
I have some servers, say I would put a server up with 1 TB, can you give an idea (very rough estimate) how much you would earn per month for opening it up? 0.0001 BTC? 0.01 BTC? 1 BTC?

Its an interesting tutorial, when will part 2 come out? How risky is using a Javascript wallet over http instead of https?
Is your private key transmitted over the line?

Which part of the wallet is online, can you elaborate how is it safer?

I thought this could maybe be made cheaply by using a small 10x5 cm LED as a screen, but for the rest, I have no idea... LED could be the output. There is some processing to be done: i.e. it needs to show the actual price. You want a hardware device (computer) that is connected to the internet and displays the price. Computers generally are not so cheap, say an FPGA is 750$. Then again, a simple router is about $50. But I think, given that you want to use LED as output you want a simple device. You could have a hardware device which simply shows whatever it receives trough signal. Perhaps an Arduino board. They cost about $10-$15. You can upload software into it which shows a price over a signal. Your pc would broadcast the bitcoin price (trough cable or wireless), the hardware device would receive it and show. This is the cheapest solution as far as i know. |

Specifically I would like to analyze the structure, topology,.. of the blockchain i.e., holographic principle, evidence for CMB noise similarity. Sounds silly, even more so by the name 'genesis'. Didn't LA Police confirm he was a private contractor for DoD (~DARPA?)? I do not have information about the LA Police nor the DoD. You can see live data at https://blockchain.info/You could get some interesting plots out of it, say the number of transactions per week day, the volume etc. They have all kinds of charts here https://blockchain.info/stats, so you can see the data over time. If you want to get in the tech have a lookat https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/ (java) or https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bitcoinlib/0.2 (python). Also, read the original paper - its more clear than reading code On YouTube are some videos as well, online cryptocurrency course If im not mistaking Anyone else have this entertaining idea, tried it - have suggestions? Currently downloading entire blockchain, yaye for big data visualization! Try to make a fork or something small |

I was thinking about it today, is it not a higher security risk? I mean if someone has a lot of your encrypted messages and finds the key, he/she would also be able to access your money |

Which wallet software you using? To get the pubkey works well: #!/usr/bin/env python import binascii import os import re import sys import requests def search_for_pubkey(address): response = requests.get(' https://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/' + address) pubkey_hex = response.text if len(pubkey_hex) < 16: raise Exception("Pubkey not found") return pubkey_hex |

You want this to stand out, so one way is to use colour. 5 looks best.
Another tricks is darkspace/constrast.
