why used: I found a guy in greece with about 500 new ones he's selling for $40 a piece.

I dont know about namecoin faucets, but you could try earning in one faucet then trading for namecoin on one of the exchanges

It's all in the op. How can anyone tell or verify how many posts you made? When did you actually sign up? You've barely made 50 posts since January, so regardless you haven't lost much.

I try. But not all was clear for me. English not my first language and sometimes having these troubles. 

To apply for a loan without a trusted
account and without collateral, you
must post a Youtube video in your
application.  

Post your video as a response to this
thread.  

1. Introduce yourself to the community
2. Explain how much you need to borrow
3. Explain the purpose of the loan
4. Give a reasonable proposal of interest and duration (suggestion is 20% interest and payback within 7 days)
5. Explain how you will repay the loan.

If you don't have a video camera or webcam
to create your video, then you cannot
use this service.

That's not completely true, if your computer is already compromised, you can even cut off the internet connection, but when you will re-connect the PC, a keylogger will be able to send the infos catched in the offline session to an attacker.

So the best thing that you can do is basically use a live CD to obtain a clear environment

Pick up an R9 270 yo! Coupled with a Sempron 145 you can have a low power single rig pushing 430+ Kh/s and fairly low temps...should be under 175w! Also GOLD rated PSU or better helps a bunch.

Even at a the standard 6 confirmations they aren't irreversible. It just a function of the amount of network power an individual holds and whether its worth their time to reverse a transaction. It gets progressively harder with each block but if someone had 50% they would very easily be able to reverse a single confirmation transaction. That's why the whole notion of a decentralised mining system is so important.

So you create a new private key on your computer, print it onto a piece of paper, and delete it from your computer.  Then when you want to spend those funds, you type the private key from the piece of paper into your computer?  I don't see how that offers much extra security since your private key will then be known if your computer has been compromised.  What am I missing?

And I'm sure your aware the chargebacks on bitcoin related sales are rife on Ebay?

My own speculation would be the bitcoin price would be pretty stable at the current price (~$450) for at least a few weeks, until we have some big news/FUDs.

Try creating a new account and you will see. This is the most frustrating time I ever had with any forum. It took me many failures to find out that as a newbie I could post here but not in the main threads. After each failure I would do something else in disgust and when I came back to this forum my session had expired, I logged in and tried to repost the message I want to send, and it always failed, telling me I had not waited for 360 seconds.  I tried creating another account, but the restrictions are IP locked. It took me a long time to find out it was something to do with being a newbie, and even then I could not find out what exactly the restriction are, only answers to answers to other queries that hinted that after some unknown number of posts that keeps changing, I would be promoted beyond newbie one day.

I provided an email address when I registered, but nothing. Why not send a welcome message explaining the restrictions to first time users?

It sounds like everyone is going to know my balance if I don't use a mixing service and that's OK.  The important thing is that they can't take it.  What is the best way to go about storing the bulk of my BTC offline?  Paper wallets seem to be popular.  How do you transfer BTC from a paper wallet to an online wallet for spending?

Damn localbitcoins i just lose 3.5 btc my account was hacked and can't login to see other transaction.

my money was send from this wallet 1NUi7FYqUfk7Xmx15h7KWZEwfi2hEKpdLn to this one 1Jme6DcnyuRbVKcsDXTsgFbpkUzPtsR7Bc after few mins he send again to this wallet 14hkTLRiar9RXLhWc8sJTohBhG4pbXXG2S. It's any way to block, freze that wallet please let me know.

also i don't have 2 verification on my wallet how he get my password i think is very sick site now is down for 10 hours and they say that localbitcoins had no problem and user are responsible for the lose.

I'm not sure what to do.  There are a lot of posts in this thread saying that if you don't use multiple addresses, anyone you send BTC to will know how much BTC you have.  Now it sounds like if you don't use a mixing service, everyone you send to will know what you have even if you use multiple addresses.

I'm not trying to hide from anyone.  I just want to go about my merry crypto life in a smart way.  If I keep my entire balance in an encrypted wallet on my computer under a single address so I only have to back up that single private key, am I an idiot?  Everyone I send to will know my balance, but in order to steal from me, they would have to hack into my computer and install a keylogger in order to get my password for decryption, right?
