You are. And with great wealthy eliteness comes great responsibility. Use your powers wisely.
Huh. I was planning on blowing it all on whiskey and whores. |

Just be sure aware that the seed only covers the private keys it generated itself. If you imported keys into your wallet those are not backed up by the seed!

Sure. Blockchain.info has an API you can use to look up each BTC address as you generate it.

Simple. - Bitcoin is not yet ready for Granny Smith.
- Granny Smith doesn't know how to figure out an appropriate fee.
- Granny Smith doesn't know the consequences of a fee that's too low.

The only two from the list I use are Xapo and Blockchain.info.
Both of them provide 2FA verification without the need of an app increasing somehow the security provided by those wallets.
The app increases security because you hold the private keys, not some web site. A web site can use 2FA which is great but you still have to trust them to not lose/steal your private keys. Yes, it does happen. Bitcointalk is full of threads from people singing the blues about getting ripped off by online wallets. |

I got the prediction that electrum will get a lot of votes here.
It have been all over the forum and is being widely use here.
I dont why it is really popular or how it gained fame.
It is really just because of it being lighter or something is behind it?
But i really like the way they work and they are flexible with any devices, including android now.
That is somehow new specially for a wallet which most dont have one.
I used to run a full node but the hassle of upgrading the HDD to keep up with blockchain size was ridiculous. I adopted Electrum early on because it's the best of both worlds: no huge blockchain download, but I still have full control of my private keys. In addition it's open source Python and I can run the client on any device I want. |

I mainly use electrum but there is always possibility to get hacked on desktop wallets. Best way to secure your coins is switching to Linux FTFY |

This doesn't solve your current problem but next time use 2-factor authentication so it doesn't happen again.

My 884 bitcoins are in limbo and I'm scared
You effing idiot. What are you doing putting so much BTC into a wallet you don't have full control over. |

Hi, I am looking for a way to earn some money without invest(because I am broke), I can dedicate 2 hours a day in that. what can I do to make a bitcoin per month without any investment?
- Get a job
- Work for 1 month for $2800
- Get paid
- Buy BTC

Here's something to consider. If you mined 10 BTC with a GPU 5 years ago you literally have nothing to lose except the cost of electricity. Why not hold onto it long term like a lottery ticket? If something disastrous happens like some kind of fatal algorithmic bug, etc that kills BTC you'd be sad but you really didn't "lose" anything.

Young people should go all in and get a job.

There ya go! "Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Wow. I posted this just over 3 years ago. Seems like a lifetime. |

Simple. First create the account from a public, anonymous internet connection like a public library or a Starbucks. Then only use Tor for accessing the account in the future. Also, make sure you wear your Guy Fawkes mask at the library or Starbucks so you can't be identified on surveillance cameras. This is probably the best idea And I'm not worried about surveillance cameras watching my Bitcointalk account because they're looking out for property theft and I'd appear to just be a regular user Of course it's the best idea but not because I said it. In spite of all the FUD flying around about Tor sucking, being cracked by the NSA, etc., Tor is still the single best tool for online anonymity. |
