So I'm planning to throw 99 times with a dice and punch the number into a metal strip or engrave it into marble to produce some bullet proof single address wallet.

Before I go such lengths I want to make sure this approach works. So I want to test each step and even fill this address with a few satoshis and spend them as well before I fill it with more serious amounts.

Throwing a dice is easy, but converting it into a WIF private key isn't.
The only way I found is through www.bitaddress.org, but I am not able to review the source and I don't want to rely at one source only.

Is there anyone who can give me some other suggestions?

Why can't you compare gold and bitcoin?
I think it's not so difficult to find some points which are comparable.

It's much harder to compare the moon with a flower.

Can you explain me the fallacy which I seem to be missing?

I disagree, just look at gold.
Usage became lower and lower each year last few hundred years.
Price on the other hand...

It's nice to have a more superior form of gold which is actually much easier to spend than physical gold.
Gold became useless as a currency because it had to be broken down into dust to buy a bread.
Bitcoin solves this problem.
Spending 1 bitcoin is as easy as spending 0.00001

Ok, I have to wait until next version then.
I really want to make my installation bullet proof. Checking the signature is one of the steps involved.

Thanks for the answer.

Miners do not determine price or usage, the market does.
The market is everyone.

I'm sure there will be miners who mine on the shorter chain. And you know what? I'll spend on their chain, because I can. And to annoy everyone else.
I hope we can fuck this whole bitcoin system to the max.

Only if it survives all it is worth something.
For everything else there is paypal and friends.

So I followed the tutorial at https://bitcoinarmory.com/download/

I downloaded armory 0.93.2  for ubuntu 32 bit and did what was written.
Everything goes ok, except the last thing

When I do:

I get:

But no result.

What is going on?
I had no errors while doing

Ironically, Litecoin was introduced late 2011 when the price crashed (long before my bitcoin birthday btw.).
It almost synchronizes with the current fork debate relative to price and halving.

You all know what happened afterwards.
It's where I've put almost all my fantasy paper.

moon.

We should price shit in bitcoin to make that happen.
Everywhere I look I see so called experts talking about $14563 worth of bitcoin instead of using bitcoin as denominator.
I really hate to read an article about bitcoin investment or theft denominating everything in FIAT and don't mention the BTC amount at all

START PRICE SHIT IN BTC for god sake.

Let those getting rich quick imbeciles who don't understand BTC go to http://www.preev.com and convert the amount to their beloved fiat counter value.

Nice quote, I fully agree.
Might even put it in my signature.

Why would you install from a USB key to another USB key.
Can't I just download lubuntu for example and burn the ISO to a SD card using Unetbootin?


Why would you care about security updates when this USB booting machine never should hit the internet or any other network?
Couldn't you better just download a pre bitcoin linux distribution (older than 2008) to have even a better chance of no exploits to be hidden in the OS?

Also, what should be done to completely remove (wireless) network support (ethernet, bluetooth) from such an installation?
Something like? sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager-gnome network-manager

Shouldn't it be better to remove all network drivers from the installation as well?

That is impossible because the first coins were mined January 3rd, 2009.

February 2013.
Just for fun bought almost 5 coins for €100,-
After that fun became more serious business.

Every year I celebrate this birthday with or without friends.

But with all due respect.
Bitcoin doesn't give a fuck about your opinion.
It doesn't need your agreement.

It is not a bug, it is a feature.

The benefit is to see if this plane can fly while shooting rockets at it and placing bombs aboard.
Bitcoin only has value if it survives it all.
Personally I can't get enough of those "attacks".

Always keep your last fiat dry to join the pump to 5k
In the meantime BTFD.

I want them to fuck this system to the core.
Hack it, abuse it, fuck it to the max.

This system is only worth something when it survives everything.

For anything else there is paypal and friends.

Just like almost all exchanges are currently doing.
But those exchanges are 100% off chain. Better put it on chain and sync with it every 30 days or so.
Much better to prove solvency and shit.

For a certain amount of time. I believe 30 days or so were proposed.

It's called 'free market'.
You don't have to trade with that particular entity.
If you don't like it, use the main chain and pay a (higher) fee.

Planes and rockets are also complicated.
Whenever there is progress, errors are made in the process. It's called evolution.
Sit still and you die.

This is not a drawback but a feature.
It is offloading the main chain.
There is no advantage to record each throw of a dice on the main chain. Just send the balance at the end of the day. (https://pocketdice.io/ for example)
Let them use the lightning network so we can keep the main chain cheap(er).



I'm very happy to know XT is totally unable to have any exploit at all.
Do you might also know some positive points about lightning?



I'll go and read it.

Yes, but my FLAC collection has already replaced my crappy MP3 collection and fits easily on a <1TB HDD.
Also my gazillion high res photo collection doesn't give a fuck about storage space.
There is no incentive for me to buy larger HDD's because I'm already drowing in free space unlike 10 years ago.

Lossless bitcoin compression (lightning network) is the way forward.
Converting MP3 to WAV is like increasing the blocksize and pretending it's better.

Just like all the chinese exchanges are currently doing...
No way all coins which are traded do actually exist.

Trading will resume in 15 minutes. You are able to cancel any orders that are active, if you so wish.

Back from holiday.
Finally able to catch the knife.
I just did.
We can go up again.
