Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?
It's the next step in the evolution of money. Do you still use old technology like telegram or steam engine daily? |

For those who use cloud mining, which do you use?

This obviously goes beyond trolling. Trolling and threatening to do harm to people are two different things. Sadly I think it's become almost the norm for people to be able to get away with doing things online because they're hiding behind a computer. People who make serious threats should be dealt with, but not trolls who just annoy people slightly.
Nothing is hidden and big brother is watching you. They get away with it because the authorities do not use this data or do not have the legal authorities to do so. You have to go past many obstacles to be anonymous and most trolls are most probably not. All over the news today, our Scotland Yard is going to take on the toughest challenge yet of trying to some of you under control Grin
I didn't hear about this. Are you not trolling us?  |

I am currently using blockchain info
I just want to ask, is there any possibility that blockchain will cease its operation? What will happen to my btc with them?
If you have the private key you control the money. Bitcoin does not depend on blockchain.info but to control your money you need the private key. In such situation you could upload your private key into a desktop wallet. |

To ever leave BTC on any exchange is stupid given the recent history.
Newbies might not know about Mt Gox. If you want to trade, there are not much alternatives than exchanges. Nobody needs a trusted authority to control their financial assets. Why do people use Bitstamp? Does it have any advantages? |

Yes, there could be an issue. $address could contain an XSS attack. Validate $address to be greater than the required length.
Another potential attack would be a lot of processing server side. While that is very unlikely it is not unthinkable.

moral of the story: include that miner fee! good luck with your transaction. (you'll be ok)  Without miner fee transactions have a long waiting time. The transaction fee is processed by and received by the bitcoin miner. Some wallet developers might also get some transaction fee, depending on the implementation. Fees are not high, it is better to include them. |

someone have to said to Obama that if he had used bitcoin, he hadn't have this problem ! Anyway, is ridicolous that someone denied a payment to the powerful man of world and president of US !
Bankers are more powerful than our president. |

Because of the usual reason: They are too computer illiterate to run Bitcoin.
I don't know if we can jump to that conclusion. A lot of their donations will be for tax write offs. With using bitcoin i think there is a lot of upfront work they would have to do. Do i think they would be smart to use bitcoin yes. Hopefully in the future we see them and many others adopt bitcoin. The Red Cross may be doing something with Bitcoin. From CNN: "A new bitcoin wallet is collecting donations for the Philippine Red Cross. ... Canadian startup Coinkite, a Bitcoin banking service, is also collecting Bitcoin donations for the Canadian Red Cross for Philippine typhoon victims." |

Faucets give some amount of BTC. Amounts like 0.00000800 BTC, good to try the system but not as a business. |

why he disappear ? is he dead ? i don't find any reason that's why he disappear...if he comes future he will be ask to proof himself it would be awesome if he back to this forum with a topic like "time is over for hiding".
At the time, Wikileaks got into bitcoin and brought mass media attention. Satoshi wanted a quiet life, he did not want people coming for him or his BTC. After all, he is very rich  It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us. |

You don't have to keep your pc on. I received BTC many times while my PC was off.
Tech Explanation: What you store in your wallet are private keys to move the money. Money is not actually stored in the wallet. The transaction gets verified on the blockchain. If you lose all your private keys, you cannot move the money anymore and the money is forever stuck in that account. This has happened to a few users in the past.
Are you a techie? So the private keys are in a dictionary: dictionary <private key, amount in BTC> ? I think so, meaning each private key has a look-up table value (amount in BTC) associated with it. So lose the keys, lose that value of BTC that is forever lost from the total number of bitcoin mined. See also please my latest question. Thanks for educating a noob! We are two young americans, my wife and me. If a key is lost the coins are stuck forever on the block chain (a database in all clients). All owners have a public and private key. If you are unfamiliar with public key cryptography this can get quite confusing, but it's a two key cryptographic system in which you need the private key to encrypt or sign. The private key gives you the power to authorize or authenticate. An electronic coin is a chain of digital signatures which is stored inside the blockchain (the database). An illustration of a bitcoin:  If you press "send" a hash of the previous transaction is signed and the public key of the next owner and adding these to the end of the chain. If you are Owner 2, you'll see the transaction can only occur if it is signed with owner 2's private key (your private key). The public key is commonly known in public key cryptography, but private key not. But let's say you type a legal bitcoin address, then what? I bet the bitcoin just sits there until somebody 'claims' this address? I do not know if this is possible or not. Further, can you 'reverse' or cancel a bitcoin transaction *before* it is received by the receiver? No, you cannot cancel a transaction. The only reason a transaction fails is if the other clients do not accept it. Finally, consider this: can two people have the same public key? Technically this is possible, but it is similar to the chance of winning one hundred lotteries in a row. |

I think you dudes are dreamin a bit too much for those prices man. I mean yeah it'd be wicked but doubt btc would go that high. I think prob like up to $2000/each max, dreaming $5k each max haha. Otherwise prob hover like 500-1500 each for a long time.
Why not $10k or $50k per coin? It could happen between now and 30 years. |
