Or they could just turn up and shoot em dead. Then a year later botch a raid on a church to distract media attention.

But guns would be better created with relatively cheap machine tools.

Of course, the assumption is that 3D printing will become ubiquitous.

Print the wallet on a t-shirt and stand in the background at a famous event so you can be the basis for a blockbuster movie-from-a-book a couple of centuries from now.

Seriously though, make sure to have offsite backups. That is, in multiple places. That likely multiplies the risk of attack so encryption is no doubt essential. As to archiving, paper is good but has issues. Anybody offering laser-punched titanium foil sheets?

That depends on other factors though. Bitcoin was only a small part of buying my GPU so ROI should be relatively quick (especially if I remember to get that rebate form in).

I'm fairly new to this, admittedly but it seems like buying specialized hardware for mining may be marginal at best at this point. Unless you're just doing it for altruistic reasons, you might be better off investing your money in Bitcoins up front and waiting for the value to go up (or not).

As to this company in particular, the fact that they have a convicted scammer in there (allegedly) is a big, big red flag to me. Even if I was optimistic about the technology, I'd probably be looking for it elsewhere.

I've started closing down SSH as much as possible. The one time I got hacked, it was via a temporary account with a stupidly simple password and a privilege escalation. Fortunately, as far as I can tell, nothing substantial happened but with the world as it is at the moment, leaving the port open to the world when I only ever occasionally need to access it from the internet and then for only short periods of time seems unwise.

The way to do it would be to have risk pools. High risk pools = high interest rate (essentially those shitty payday loan places). As you prove your reliability and trustworthiness, you move to lower risk and lower interest.

Of course, there will be deadbeats and scammers, possibly some playing the long game. But as long as enough people pay back to cover losses plus a profit, you could still make bank. Not something I would want to put my money in though.

Might be nice to have a bit of intelligence on that. Rather than every time, just when first started and when new keys are added.

If I paid 20BTC. Could I have my friend and nemesis get into a fight? Who would get the television rights?

Maybe the difference between carrying your wealth home on a thumbdrive or in a wheelbarrow. Bitcoin has its issues but the other options aren't looking so hot themselves. That's largely why it's interesting to me.

Enemy is OK but a little weaksauce. How much for a nemesis?

Thank you.

We are just getting into the bitcoin thing and I'm trying to explain to her what they are and where the value comes from (They're educational for sure ). I told her about this thread and she said "I can do those in 30 minutes" so I'm sure commissions are available too.

Woot, not a newb anymore.

My daughter drew these for this thread.

Larger versions with transparent background also available.

Command line options might be a good way to go too. I haven't looked into those too much yet. Maybe have a special user which runs a very restricted shell, with multiple levels of escalation, one-time pass-codes etc and throw putty on a thumb-drive (though it's a very simple/small download in any case).

Oh, it was still plugged. It had just worked out far enough to break contact I think. It's been running all day so far but there's no reason it should have worked its way out. Thermal expansion contraction and/or spring loading maybe.

I was more thinking of this site. But it might work well as an either/or proposition on other sites. Of course, before long, it wouldn't be bitcoins just for registration but bitcoins for everything.

Though for some sites, that wouldn't be so bad.

VNC and VPN might go a long way

There's an article very much worth reading here http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/2010/06/money_supply_th.html

You can add alternate power. There are supplementary PSUs for such things (without the mainboard connector) or you could just use another PSU (I have done that before when adding hard-drives caused my main PSU to shut down due to drawing too much power to tide me over until I got a more capable main PSU). I have also used a 12V supply for a IDE/SATA to USB adapter to power an internal hard-drive in a pinch.

This is slightly risky in that if your voltages are slightly off, you could theoretically end up having too much current flow where it should not but that has never been an issue for me.

Here is one pulled at random from google. Not recommending, no association, etc.

Would it not be a good idea to replace Captchas with small Bitcoin payments? Less annoying and actually gets the spammers to hand over some money. Possibly make it an alternative and see which people choose.

The problem comes with what to do with what you can't afford to lose. It has to go somewhere (though at this stage, new Bitcoin institutions are particularly risky).
