I have 206000 dollars in my MTGOX account before Feb.7. These money are sleeping in MTGOX for years. I trust MTGOX & Bitcoin foundation very much. I thought Satoshi is behind MTGOX. (I think I am a idiot!!) After a serials of good news and bad news and the market manipulation in these dark days, my balance is slim to 64000 dollars. I finally decide to retrieve the money via Bitcoin builder. I bought 320 btc at 200 in MTGOX. MTGOX suddenly shut down when I am withdrawing the bitcoin! I think all the money are gone. All I want is putting Mark Karpeles to the jail. I do not trust Bitcoin again.  I bolded your mistakes  I'm sorry for your loss, but you also didn't put any effort forward to protect yourself from it either. Would you trust ANYONE to hold $206,000 cash for you? (US banks a bit different with FDIC and assuming that the US doesn't completely collapse short term) |

What is the minimum amount of bitcoins to be considered "a wall". 50? 100? 200? 500? 1k? over 1k?

if electrum private keys can be restored using 12 dictionary words for the seed, isn't that less secure?

That is scary, how do i avoid that?
Edit: Could I use an online brainwallet with the public address to create the json, then on my offline pc input the private address and create the raw transaction?
|
|
|
|
even if it is over 60 alphanumeric + symbols long with none of it being from a dictionary?
A real private key is only 51 characters, just use that. easier for me to remember if i get to make it up  What info do i need though from blockchain? |

You can use the public address on an online computer with blockchain.info/listunspent to get the info you need.
But please I hope you didn't generate your keys using a brainwallet passphrase instead of a randomly generated one. If so, your coins won't stay safe for long.
blockchain.info/listunspent doesnt work. If i choose a random address such as this one...is this what im looking for? and how does this fit into the brainwallet json? http://blockchain.info/unspent?active=19kf1pxJaZqFmFeupSL9WViS6ExsVSKLc3&format=html |

Hello I have an offline pc that i used to generate a private/public BTC address. I then sent myself bitcoins to the offline address and I can confirm it is in there. Now my question is when I want to send a transaction from my offline pc (with brainwallet.org client javascript) how do I actually create the raw transaction data to send the transaction? My plan is to create the raw transaction on the offline pc, put it on a usb text file, then submit it to the block chain via blockchain.org.
My problem is that on the create transaction page from the brainwallet javascript I don't know what i have to do to be able to spend my unspent outputs or something along those lines...basically the client wants to access blockchain.info so it knows what to spend.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If Gox's accounting book included fake coins (goxcoins) then they could potentially continue to see that their amount of bitcoins is continually increasing (via the books and thus look like they are making money) while their actual amount of real bitcoins is declining (but not able to see this via the accounting books so that less people know about gox being a fractional BTC reserve). The whole problem about having to continually having to manually refill the hot wallet from the cold wallet could easily be explained if they actually don't have a cold wallet, rather just a few hot wallets that are all linked and auto-refill the main hot wallet when the hot wallet becomes low.

Karpeles' master plan ... burn all the coinz!?
I have a question if you don't mind answering. What is the strange looking operator in your profile picture? Every time you post I can't stop wondering what it is. Lol, I've always wondered that too. I just crunched the product in Mathematica and it converged to an equation involving Gamma functions. Perhaps Marcus can share its significance. Really? That's cool. Mind if I see the Mathematica output? f(x) = Sqrt[Pi]/(Gamma[(Pi + x)/(2Pi)] Gamma[1 - x/(2Pi)]) wow ... you might have just solved a long standing problem ... I'll let you know. I'm no math expert, but doesn't that equation need to run for n=1 to n=infinity? aka an indefinite calculation? |

Gox website is completely down. There is no way to even transfer gox coins for the time being
So.. how is BB working? Also, Gox still "works", just no home, exchange, login.. lol xD But the site isnt "down" How do you plan to verify that you actually receive(d) the gox bitcoins (in your gox account) when you give BB your btc? I could very well be wrong, but I'm interested in your methodology |

Guys this is pretty bad news about Mt Gox.
Who can really trust any exchange at this point?
It makes me want to pull the bulk of my money which is on CampBX right now after losing money on Mt. Gox.
I can imagine what this will do to other people. They surely will not want to risk much money anymore, especially money needed for bitcoin to go to 10,000 that most of you think it will go there.
I just don't see the price staying as high as it is, which at $500 is still a very high price.
If any of you are still sitting on bitcoins, I would recommend to pull them out ASAP and sit out. It is almost a sure bet to go lower at this point.
You should never keep "the bulk" of your coins on an exchange... |

Account holders won't see their money back. However, mt gox being at $100/coin has spread really bad news about bitcoin, let alone their insolvency. Getting rid of gox all together will at first hurt the price of BTC, but then it will be able to resume growth. I have friends that are completely bitcoin "noobs" and btc being low on mt gox has scared everyone away from it. get rid of mt gox, btc can grow again.
Disclosure: Long term I've very bullish on bitcoin...

The Banksters Ultimate Dream - A Cashless Society, Starting With The
Militaryhttp://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_globalbanking209.htmWhy is a cashless society the holy grail of total tyrannical control for the Banksters?
Because once your entire financial banking life is under the dominion of these criminals in the form of a card or an implanted chip, you will never again be free. They are already tracking you, building a database about you and monitoring your every move.
But once cash transactions are done away with entirely, if the Banksters (or fascist government) don’t like your point of view or politics, they can just turn your chip off.
“And no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast.”
Big Brother Surveillance Society http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/atlantean_conspiracy/atlantean_conspiracy03.htmThe New World Order end goal is chipping every baby at birth and transferring global currency to a cashless credit-based system, managed via microchips. Shortly after 9/11 there was a whole family on “Good Morning America” who all got chipped. They interviewed with CFR member Diane Sawyer saying they were scared of the terrorists and felt safer with implanted identification devices. The government is now pushing legislation to chip animals, children, prisoners, and Alzheimer’s patients.
Andy Rooney even promoted the idea in a 60 Minutes editorial:
“Something has to change, though. They have to find a better way to identify the bad guys, or the rest of us are going to stay home and watch the world go by on television. But we need some system for permanently identifying safe people. Most of us are never going to blow anything up. And there’s got to be something better than one of these photo IDs— a tattoo somewhere maybe.
The Saudis use an American device to scan the eyes of travelers. I wouldn’t mind having something planted permanently in my arm that would identify me. If we don’t do something, people are going to stop flying. If they stop flying, and I don’t go to the Giants games, it means the bastards have won.”
Andy Rooney (For more information regarding the frightening reality of microchips, read Katherine Albright’s “Spy Chips.”) good thing bitcoins can't be turned off by deactivating a chip... |

Isn't stability what we want if we're looking for wide adoption? Normal currencies don't fluctuate insane amounts in a day, and that's what is keeping a lot of people from buying in. Maybe it will get some of the more hesitant people to buy in, which would raise the price People buy bitcoin to profit on speculation, by and large. If it keeps sitting at $800 like it has been for the past few weeks, people will get bored with it and find something else to invest in. Given the low volume on this forum and on the exchanges, I guess this has already happened to a large degree. So I would argue that some volatility is good for bitcoin at this stage. Low volume could just mean that people are holding in speculation of an increase soon. I've recently upp'd my bitcoin investment due to current stability and being able to pick up some bitcoin at a "cheap" price in my book. I see btc hitting $1000 again easily with any bad economic fiat news |
