Once you import an external keypair, you'll need to either 1) backup electrum.dat (or whatever you named the wallet file), or 2) keep the keys handy for reimport when you do a restore.
You're correct that once you import a key and spend all the dough out to another address, you effectively don't need that imported key anymore and all funds will be available when you restore. However, I make it a habit to remember every key that ever goes through my hands. I keep a special wallet for just those imported addresses. you never know when it might receive more or simply need it for a digital signature.

That's all the mojo-fu I have at the moment. But, challenge accepted. I'll give it a go when I have some time.

thanks. there are 6 instances of getpass in the file.
is there a reason why you want to patch only 2 of them?
#1 I barely knew what the hell I was doing. #2 That was the only place I could find that "bothered me" at the moment. #3 I will search for the other 5 and patch those too. #4 Father, I am sorry I dissapoint. lol edit: #5 I can't count. 4 other patches coming. |

I'm always using weighted prices to help with the volatility issue, so yea, I'd use it.
Also, can you tell me what's up with VND? It displays a 0.00 in the drop down and only gives a rate when going from btc.

Again: lots of btc businesses were created last year, and reported profits. This year is the first year governments will be taxing them, and thereby legitimizing btc.
No way the government is close to making this kind of call, specifically about Bitcoin. However, there are already reporting requirement, generally, about capital gains or sales. i.e. you make a cash sale, you better report it. |

Another "Super Bull" checking in... I believe those radical numbers. It's just a matter of time for information to propagate and infrastructure to develop.
Someone at HSBC says 2-3 years for virtual currency to be "mainstream". I'm betting on more like 5.

I did not (but might).. I've just been using the install commandline from the linux download option at ecdsa.org.

Actually, the 2nd amendment only allows the police to have guns. If I may:

Just installed 59b on a new machine. Is the installer still suppose to set up electrum in the fedora/gnome apps menu? Not seeing it.

The teller at my chase bank told me I was the second person that day to make a deposit like that. I live in a quasi rural area, so I was surprised...
Wow. That is awesome... Just the other day I was thinking to myself... If I'm every out and about, and randomly overhear a mention of Bitcoin in some conversation, I think I will figuratively pull down my pants and take a shit in front of everyone right there. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but it made me laugh and hearing "Bitcoin" in a random venue will truly be a memorable day for me. |

A few months ago, I posted some bounties for some sexy Bitcoin videos and tutorials. I was able to collect 15.5 Bitcoins from the community because they were great ideas and everyone knew they would do well for Bitcoin's popularity. Unfortunately, no entertainers submitted any entries to the contest and so the bounties were closed. I returned 1 Bitcoin to one person that asked for it back and promised the remaining funds would go to support my TOR exit project.
After some encouragement from other members in the community and recent "cash flow" problems hightlighted in the adult forums and threads, I, instead, have another plan for those 15.5 Bitcoins...
I would like to announce that LadyBytes and I are teaming up to produce another introductory Bitcoin video that aims to teach new users how to get Bitcoins quick and use them on the various adult oriented sites such as deCrypto, Cam4BTC, and GGB. This project will be kickstarted by those 15.5 Bitcoins I collected earlier.
LadyBytes and I have been hashing out some ideas that should make this a fun video for the whole Bitcoin community and informative for everyone else. Our goal is to show exactly how easy it is to get Bitcoins with a humor laced, sexy, real world walk-thru of the process. Our timeline is to have a finished product released by the end of this month. I would like to invite you to contribute to her efforts and encourage her excitement for this project by contributing to a new bounty address. All proceeds will be going directly to LadyBytes at the completion and release of the video. As expected, she'll be "exposing" a tipping address at some point as well but it would be nice if she could see your excitement about this along the way too.
If you would like to contribute additional funds to the resolution of this project, please send your donation to <bounty address closed>. This is a vanity I generated. When the project is completed, 100% of the funds will be paid to the address LadyBytes reveals in the tutorial.
