Well, I'm guessing you threw the cash in hand option in there to look more legit but would rather pay +15% with some stolen paypal or moneybookers accounts, otherwise I'd be on my way to the airport without even packing.

I'd also accept a papa john's gift card or a cvs gift card
(You can buy those with a CC on gyft)
And YOU can buy them on Gyft with BTC. |

I deleted the whole blocks folder. I have no blkindex.dat.
I can try getting that snapshot, but I'm not sure it would help since it isn't downloading any more blocks, unless I want to manually download snapshots for the rest of my life..
It got stuck like that on me a few years ago, after I used the snapshot I was able to sync. But I gave up on QT a while ago, blockchain is just too big, using electrum now. Anyway, when you say you redownloaded it, did you also remove all files from the appdata folder when you uninstalled? Wish I could help more but last version I used was .6 or something. |

I need to look up FL law and see how they deal with entrapment.
Even before this case, if someone I sold bitcoin to were to tell me they're going to use them to purchase something illegal, I would have bitched them out for being one of the assholes who make BTC look bad and told them to piss off. Thank god I don't have to deal with that site anymore.

OP, can you provide a hijackthis log? I'm guessing something stole the private keys from a bunch of people.

You know what really chaps my arsehole? Hypocritical grammar Nazis. IF MTGOX DIES, BITCON DIES WITH IT BECAUSE MTGOX HAS 80% OF VOLUME
I hope your joking. Partly since you're saying hodl in another thread but mostly because I can't remember the last time Gox had 80%  Damn you got me...not even gonna go back and fix it.  At least I got it right the second time in the post, quick learning curve I guess. |

lol I started a thread about this too a few months ago. I swear, I see this mistake so often in the Bitcoin community, I'm starting to wonder if the spelling of "lose" has been officially changed since I left school?
Back in my day, lose/loose was essential criteria for passing 2nd grade spelling. They don't even sound the same, which makes the prevalence even more baffling to me.
edit: and you can't blame this on non-native speakers. they seem to get it right, but it's the mouth breathers on here who were born in the US or other English speaking countries that seem to screw it up all the time.
Ha, I would have resurrected that if I found it. I agree that non-native English speakers get it right, they probably double check better. The question is - can you politely correct someone's spelling without being thought of as a troll?
I never do... I don't think that there is a polite way to do it. And if I understood the poster, what does it matter? At least, that's what I think... I don't think there is either, so I haven't and won't call out anyone specifically. Actually, I may have figured out why this particular misspelling peeves me so much. Some ugly tool used "loose" all the time on a local racing forum we all used, but I just thought it was weird back then. he decided to try to steal my girlfriend (didn't happen) by getting close to me and then crying in front of her a lot, and other really lame things like that. I may be projecting my desire to rip the face off this guy (who is the 1st person I ever saw do that) on all subsequent people making this mistake |

Ok, so I'm not the only one who thinks this is funny, cool Anyone using English as a second language gets a pass of course. |

I can't be the only one who knows this right? How do you "LOOSE" bitcoins? Like shake some kind of change purse and watch em jiggle?

My mate and I are going to Portillo's in about an hour. I fire up the APP and place a Bitcoin deposit, an amount I know is more than what I'm going to spend. When I get to the restaurant, I show my receipt via the APP. The confirmations have already been done prior to us getting to the Portillo's therefore, upon paying the tab, change is forward to our Bitcoin address. Even if we carry-out, no need for us to wait for a confirmation, for we know that Portillo's is good for it. The onus was on the customer at the onset of the transaction, thereby protecting the eating establishment.
What app are you talking about? Not sure if you're talking about bitpay or something, or that portillos accepts Bitcoin. I assumed he was talking about a hypothetical way that a restaurant like Portillo's could accept bitcoin for payment and not have to worry about 0-confirmations. I don't think such an app exists yet, and I don't think there are any Portillo's accepting bitcoin yet. Ok, thanks, hypothetical not literal...I was about to head to Portillo's. Yeah. If I thought is was literal, I'd be eating lunch and dinner at Portillo's almost every day just to reward them for making the decision! Same here Next time I go to Moto (or ING next door, same chef/owner) I'm going to pitch them. The owner/chef now cooks at ING and has promoted the Suisse Chef to Executive chef, both of these people in to science and technical things, maybe they would go for it. Hmm, just a little afterthought, maybe some of us Chicago Bitcoiners can go as a group, if they let us pay in bitcoin. For Moto, your looking at about $300/person, maybe 1/2 that at ING, so not for everyone. But they might be more inclined to take BTC for at least one meal if there is a group of us. At least it will get the ball rolling. |

I believe it will be difficult since the government's notice about bitcoin. Too many people are unsure exactly how it applies to them/their business so it would be difficult getting a newbie on board. And what LaudaM said, btcchina.
Where in China are you? My business is in Shenzhen, seems like alot of people heard of bitcoin there.

I was assuming the whole transaction history was stored in the wallet.dat file, since when I manually swap my personal and business wallet.dat files and open the client they show their correct transaction histories.
I'm pretty sure the wallet rescans the entire blockchain for transactions that match the addresses that are contained in the wallet.dat when you swap in a wallet. He's missing something though. OP, you need to fix your client before any of this matters. It will rescan, it will show history. Your wallet file is fine, it's what you're running it with that is messed up. Save your wallet somewhere safe, reinstall bitcoin, and import the original. No reason to move coins, the problem will just repeat itself. After you overcome this issue, you will see all of your transactions. Making that a spreadsheet, though, is not directly possible through the client. Figure out the first part, then make a new thread about how to extract tx logs from the blockchain. |

I'd say that most of the people ranting constantly about crashes and BTC being dead don't even have any BTC.
They talk all this crap because they want it to crash since they feel like they missed the chance of a lifetime. They don't want to buy if it does go way down, they just want to see early adopters lose. They are extremely jealous and can't stand it but somehow manage to spend more time thinking about bitcoin than the bitcoin millionaires.
