1. My first time with Bitcoin (A Love Story)
Around the beginning of 2013, a short time after finding out about Bitcoin and learning its in's-and-out's, I started a small website where I did tips on getting started with Bitcoin. I set up a sort of Support Desk with "walkthroughs", BTC giveaways, links to faucets, and many other things. After that got going I found this site where I started doing daily raffles and TwitterGames. Giving away BTC to new users in BTC0.1 and BTC0.01 increments with some larger prizes occasionally. Some of that Bitcoin was from the support of this great community by means of donations, which became necessary after the raffles and games got larger. I needed multiple bitcoin address to keep track of various "accounts" for the site and the giveaway games I did on here; donations in, prizes out, main wallet, cold storage, and some wallets for other ventures. It was great and I met some really awesome people who wouldn't have been able to get into bitcoin without the small (then small) raffles and information. I had to stop doing the site when life got in the way; I moved, then school, a job, a girlfriend etc. It was cool that the people on here donated/helped out to keep the raffles going and get newbies up to speed while the site was running at its peak. Unbelievably good times. This forum does some real good and I want to bring my small part of it back to the community. Albeit in much smaller increments now that BTC is worth way more than $45 a coin. Unfortunately, as of this writting I'm not able to contribute as much as I would love to, maybe after I sell a few bitcoin related things I'll be able to reach that goal.
2. Bitcoin and Me (The Next Chapter)
I have since been using bitcoin intermittently in my life; I'll find a cafe here, maybe a store there, that accepts bitcoin. Always makes me smile. More recently I lead a life where I am unable to keep up on the day-day bitcoin scene like I have in the past. My goal of again having the means to introduce people to this form of currency, and the phenomenal community behind it all, drives me back towards this site and its people.
3. The Future (Knowledge)
The Future of Bitcoin lies in the community behind it; the miners, posters, thinkers, believers, gamblers, oldGold, admins, startups, and especially the newbies. The success of any new currency is based inherently on newcomers, the un- or mis- informed, and the success of educating them on how the currency works. How it is backed, how it is distributed, how it is used, and so much more. It is vital to the current community that this task is accomplished; and as the community thrives, bitcoin will continue to thrive.
Thank you for lending an ear,

I had around 11.
I use to run a small website where I did tips on getting started with bitcoin; "walkthroughs", BTC giveaways, links to faucets, and many other things. After that got going I found this site where I started doing daily raffles and TwitterGames. Gave away probably around BTC12 in BTC0.1 and BTC0.01 increments with some larger prizes occasionally. Some of that was from support from this great community by means of donations which became necessary after the raffles and games got larger. I needed those multiple address to keep track of various "accounts" for the site and the games I did on here; donations in, prizes out, main wallet, cold storage, and some wallets for other ventures. It was great and I met some really awesome people who wouldn't have been able to get into bitcoin without the small (then small) raffles and information. I had to stop doing the site when life got in the way; I moved, then school, a job, a girlfriend etc. It was so cool though that people on here donated/helped out to keep the raffles going and get newbies up to speed. Unbelievably good times. This forum does some real good for the community. I want to bring my small part of it back, albeit in much smaller amounts now that BTC is worth way more than $45 a coin. I'm not able to do this right now. Maybe after I sell a few bitcoin related things I'll be able to reach that goal.
Anyway, thats my story, and if tl;dr I needed multiple addresses for organization purposes.

I think it was a DDOS attack but now it's working for me here
Hackers tried to attack the blockchain as they tried before with many banking services online
weird, I reset my router and it still doesn't work. Its not a browser issue either. Oh well, anybody have suggestions for a better wallet? If you're looking offline : multibit will be nice still looking for online : Xapo or coinbase.com How about using VPN when accesing blockchain... IDK but while using 4G the site is fine for me. |

Okay it seems to be my wifi connection that isn't letting me access the site. Should I just reset my router?

Here are some 5BTC -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1268045.0Some collectors really like the redeemed stuff (personally I like loaded coins). It is hard to price these so best to auction them off. If you have the peeled holograms that is a plus for them. Thanks! I'm looking around online and prices are all over the board. The three 1BTC coins have their holograms intact, the 5BTC ones do not. I guess I will be auctioning these off here soon. If anyone wants to buy them feel free to make some reasonable offers by messaging me! |

I have some redeemed Casascius coins and was wondering what they are worth to collectors. They are each in cases and in good shape. I have: (2) 2012 1BTC Casascius (1) 2013 1BTC Casascius (2) 2012 5BTC Casascius Any input would be great. Thank you! **UPDATE**If you were interested in these coins i've started an auction here for one of them:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1269580.msg13102380#msg13102380I am still looking for advice on the coins. Thank you! |
