Hi, I need a loan of 0.03 (more if possible) to purchase some goods. I will be able to return it within 1 week when I get my pay. My address: 192fqgb5aCKrjNkudGqSWR6Nuu4J8tEMB7.

yes, it is posible. But you would have to get a captcha sniper or some other captcha software, I've tried but that involves downloading a few programs that I was just too lazy to do at that time. Cheesy Also, if you pay for captcha sniper, you wouldnt have to download that  other programs, but I didn't want to pay them. But anyhow, yes, it is possible. You can find a bot on the internet, some guy made it and it has a full tutorial on how to do it. Cheers!
Most public bots cannot crack ReCAPTCHA, you need to hire captcha cracking services.

It can't be profitabile if you just collecting the faucet because to collect every faucet you need to solve captcha and you need to pay for solving captcha, but  you can profit with collecting faucet and than gamble it and multiply it enought for cashout.
We are making bot to collect free money around, all you need to do is to turn bot ON and it will make you money. The advantage of this is you dont need to stay all the time near the computer instead of it you can do posts in same time and collect easy money. Smiley If you use iMacro addOn there is no additional instalation you just write the code and paste it in iMacro, completely safe and out of viruses.

Sorry, I don't really get your point.
You first say it is not profitable as you need to pay others to solve the captcha.

But then you say you just need to turn the bot on and it will make you money...
So are you solving the captcha by yourself? And then how is the bot helpful?

I don't think he is making any sense at all.
1) You cannot crack ReCAPTCHA and most other captcha services by bots.
2) You need to crack them by hiring HUMAN captcha solving services
3) The captcha cracking requires money so does your electrical fees

You can try https://cex.io. If you don't have any funds you can try to invite some friends and persuade them to invest in, then you'll get some "free" hash power Smiley

It is not a good idea to buy hashrate on cex as the hashrate is very pricey and the maintenance fee is terrible.
The worst scenario is that the price per GH falls by 1/2, you will lose alot of bitcoin. It is impossible to ROI there.

Well, I kind of wish I had done more faucets back in 2010/11 considering the value now. I guess the only reason I say this is because if you're really sure that the value of bitcoin is going to go up 100x or some similar amount then you can start to possibly justify spending on free time on faucets and saving the results for the future.

If I knew bitcoin will worth $1000 in Dec 2013, I would work overnight and do a few part-time jobs (rather than playing with faucets) in 2010 and put all my money in bitcoin.
Sadly, I didn't know bitcoin until 2013. Sad

Don't worry, you are not alone  Sad

9168  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding Cold Storage on: June 02, 2014, 03:11:42 PM
so what's the main function of having paper wallet then?
is it only shows your public and private key? or what? Huh
Your public key can be scanned by a QR code reader and you can spend it using the private key. It is the most secure way to store large amount of bitcoin.
9169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What kind of cold storage do you use? on: June 02, 2014, 02:41:20 PM
7 paper wallets, encrypted in a 14 Alphanumeric password stored inside a safe at 7 different locations.
9170  Other / Off-topic / Re: Freebitco.in earn bitcoins using Martingale betting system on: June 02, 2014, 02:18:10 PM
Martingale is not a lasting gambling strategy, it is going to fail in a short time, especially when freebitco.in have a very high house edge. Try this with extreme care.
9171  Other / Meta / Re: Should bitcointalk account trading be banned? on: June 02, 2014, 02:16:17 PM
There's people that sells accounts with positive trust, scammers would want to buy them to scam money. People would trust those who have a higher rank, older account age and trust. Selling those accounts can result in higher scam rates. I don't think there is a way to stop account trading, it is difficult to track the owners.

I'm a brand newbie but have been reading up as much as possible across the past week. I plan on having two btc wallets, one for day-to-day use with a low balance that I will send and receive with, and then one savings wallet that I will only use to receive. I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me if there are any problems with my plan below for securing my savings wallet. I run OSX Mavericks.

BTC savings wallet plan:

1. Download the bitcoin-qt package.
2. Disconnect from the internet.
3. Create fresh installation of linux as a VM (still offline).
4. Install bitcoin package in linux VM.
5. Run bitcoin to create my new wallet.
6. Copy receiving address to removable media.
7. Backup wallet.dat to two other removable media.
8. Delete linux VM file with shredding.
9. Secure media with wallet.dat file in two different locations (personal safe and bank deposit box).
10. Use new address to deposit btc from time to time.

Questions:

1. Is there a security risk I'm not seeing with using a new linux VM versus a liveCD on USB?
2. Are there any risks associated with using the same address repeatedly send to my savings wallet from a different wallet of mine?
3. Even though the bitcoin-qt client hasn't ever been connected to the network in this scenario, the blockchain will still accept the transaction as valid when I send to my new savings address, and I will be able to check the balance through something like blockchain.info?
4. Any other problems you see?

Thanks for any advice.


If your removable media ever touches an computer that have or had internet access, your wallet.dat is at risk. Viruses can get information from your removable disk. If you leave them for a long time without checking them regularly, both of your removable disk may get damaged. Paper wallets will never be damaged so its a better idea to try to generate wallets using them
9173  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding Cold Storage on: June 02, 2014, 02:04:00 PM
so do you mean having cold storage for example Bitcoin Core doesn't mean we have encrypted or secure wallet?
No, cold storage means to create a wallet that is offline and the device that generated it have never and will never touch the internet. It is a good way to ensure top security, hackers cannot access your offline device but if they have your encrypted wallet on a computer that is online, it is possible that they can somehow crack it. A good example of cold storage is paper wallet.

If you are new to bitcoin, it is a good choice to go and use those faucet and get some bitcoins. It is a good way to learn about how bitcoin works. After a few months, you can sign up for a signature campaign and earn more bitcoins while contributing your knowledge to the forum.
9175  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ok about activity and time logged in. on: June 02, 2014, 01:55:22 PM
Now, I'm a member and I have over 100+ posts, the time I've spent on this board is like an hour and some change but I know it's been longer. I usually even have this tab open to the main index of the board, so I know I'm spending a longer time than that on this board. How does the activity and the ranks work out in that way? Does the time have to equal the amount of time I've posted? I know there's a simple equation but to me it doesn't make sense since I've been signed in almost constantly for the past couple days, I surely should have way more time logged in then this.

Can I get some help here?
If you create your account a few years back and post a lot, they will only be counted in the two weeks period that you posted. The formula to calculate activity is:
time = number of ACTIVE two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
You wasn't active for a lot of two weeks period so your activity will not increase.
9176  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How Do You Buy BTC? on: June 02, 2014, 01:52:04 PM
I have used virwox a lot since they accept Paypal deposits. They are slow on withdrawals as there is a procedure to hold your first BTC withdrawal for 48 hours and their fees are steep. Try using a BTC Machine which dispense bitcoins, it typically takes a few minutes.
9177  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why does it take so long to confirm? on: June 02, 2014, 01:50:39 PM
Some require a bigger miner fee, if I`m guessing right.


Yes, if your transaction size is smaller than 1,000 bytes, it needs to be sent with fees. If your outputs of your transactions is more than 0.01, you need not include a fee. Look at this page: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees

Enabling 2FA will help in some case (like when your password has been leaked), but not in some case (like when someone has your unencrypted wallet backup).

where can i encrypt my wallet backup?


With that question, I assume you already have an unencrypted backup wallet file.
The easiest way to encrypt it, is to use an archive software such as 7Zip to zip it with a strong password.

lol, you're right  Roll Eyes
thanks anyway  Grin

how about the email wallet backup?
do u think it's good to have wallet backup at your email?
Yes, it is useful to have a encrypted wallet backup at your email, when you lose your computer or other wallet files, you can retrieve your wallet back using that. However, make sure that all your wallet backups that you have are all encrypted with a strong password. If a hacker manage to get your unencrypted wallet backup, all your coins are gone.
