However... i read recently lot of blockchain accts got hacked and these ppl had 2fa and other security measures so that has me wondering is it eeven safe.
do you have any links?

every complain about losing BTC on blockchain.info or being hacked that I saw so far was because of the users mistakes and mostly for using Tor and they didn't have 2FA enabled
7782  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: is anybody here using CEX.IO for mining on: December 12, 2014, 06:32:36 AM
No, i think not profitable to mining there, because fees is too much.
for now, only trading GHS is worth.
what fees? do you mean maintenance fee or trading fee?
7783  Other / Beginners & Help / is anybody here using CEX.IO for mining on: December 12, 2014, 05:58:36 AM
i've been using CEX.IO for some time now but all for trading! even trading GHS but i wanted to know if it is profitable to buy GHS and let it mine.
i would be so thankful if you share your own experience with me like how much GHS did you buy and how much did it mine for you
7784  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please help Authorization Required for blockchain on: December 12, 2014, 05:39:28 AM
do you have any backup like paper backup of your private keys? or even the .json file

I have been trying, why doesn't blockchain record my IP?, I always use same computer and ip.
you need to tell them to restrict to your IP in the setting i think
7785  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: buy bitcoins with sms? on: December 12, 2014, 05:36:49 AM

Im still really confused at all this.  I know i need something like blockchain so i could send funds to a sportsbook like heritagesports.  But in the end when i want the funds to my bank account, i have to get coinbase or something similar right and then sell it at 1 percent fee plus 0.15 transaction fee?
coinbase and blockchain and other similar services are like banks with some differences. you can store your bitcoins there.
i don't know about the 1% fee is it from coinbase? anyway to sent BTC transaction fee can be different but it is normaly 0.0001 BTC

Right now i want to get btc so i can send it to heritage sports.  So create blockchain account, then find someone to trade with for my boa transfer correct?
if you just want to put BTC in a site for gambling or whatever they give you an address which you can use that and skip creating an account on Blockchain but i suggest you do for future uses

Whats the multbit for the computer?  Is that another alternative to coinbase?
multibit is a wallet that you can install on your pc and use it yourself for handling sending and receiving bitcoins

I have asked btce they say they cant transfere them ,Every forum and twitter,Facebook etc has said they must have backed up the addresses before changing them all in july so either btce are theives or are theives .The amount is 30 btc quite substantial are theY worse than mtgox .The forums and facebook are saying the same leave btce they are a scam if they wont transfer.
well, first of all i hope you can get your bitcoins back, but you shouldn't have left your money on an exchanger for 4-5 months in the first place as you say they change the address in july.

7790  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is a blockchain.info wallet in Tor browser secure? on: December 06, 2014, 05:26:16 AM
Suppose I create an online wallet with https://blockchain.info/ in Tor browser and keep a small stash of BTC in there. It's an anonymous stash, right? So long as I only access via Tor browser, use change addresses and send BTC wisely.

But I've recently read about people running Tor exit nodes and maliciously sniffing the data through them, so I was wondering if this is a safe way of having an online wallet without anyone gaining access to my password/BTC.

Any thoughts?
i warn you to stay away from using Blockchain.info with Tor. my friend lost his hard earned bitcoins this way.
7791  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: can any one please tell me on: December 06, 2014, 05:19:22 AM
From few days i wanted to ask a question which is constantly and consistently coming in my mind that is ref link are allowed in Gambling and service discussion threads. Few of the member said that it is allowed but you need to post the non ref link also. but some of them said that it is not allowed can any one confirm it  Huh
check the sticky posts at the top of each section for its rules:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408265.0

and i think you can post ref links in game and rounds
7792  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where do I start? on: December 06, 2014, 05:11:24 AM
I'm new to Bitcoin.  I have no idea where to start.  Does anyone know of a site that can tell me what I need to do?  I know I need to get a wallet.  But, not sure where or any of that stuff.

The reason I want to get into Bitcoin is because I saw it at Fiverr.  I saw that I can pay for gigs using it.  I would like to find some kind of online work that I do to earn Bitcoins.  Then use them at Fiverr.  That might not make any sense.  But, I need to buy services online that I can't do myself.  Is it difficult to find grunt type of work online that pays in Bitcoins?  Really I'm just looking to make 50 to a few hundred dollars.  Enough to fund this aspect of the project I'm working on.
the first place you should look into is https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started follow the links to learn and choose wallet. and for earning bitcoin you can take a look into services section for signature campagns and also faucets are there for tiny amount of bitcoins
7793  Other / Meta / Re: Why can't I change my avatar? on: December 05, 2014, 06:37:23 AM
It was disabled because some hacker uploaded malicious code using the avatar upload system a long time ago. I asked the same question when I registered.
there is is always someone who ruins it for everybody. i hope the new forum software has better options like following the posts that i like and gives announces when someone quotes or responds to my posts.

7796  Other / Beginners & Help / help me choose a wallet on: November 02, 2014, 07:04:26 AM
hello everyone.
i want to choose a wallet to start putting my bitcoins there Cheesy
from my last post i started here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
now i want to choose from the list but i am a little confused

Q1: should i choose desktop or web wallet?

Q2: from desktop wallets which one to choose?
i realized bitcoin core uses the full node which needs more than 20 GB and growing so i don't want that. and also armory

then i found out about SPV, and i think both Multibit and Electrum uses that. can anyone tell me how much does each of these two take up space on me hard drive? and also which one do you suggest
7797  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: hello, just found this place on: October 22, 2014, 11:56:50 AM
