This is why everyone who uses Bitcoin should immediately set up an offline private key for just such an event.

I use Keepass in conjunction with my wallet's password (a cipher generated by Keepass, brute force password cracker will never break it), I know the master password of my encrypted password database that has all of my other passwords for encrypted things. Both my wallet.dats and Keepass databases are auto-uploaded to my FTP every night. My wallet's themselves live on a RAID-5 array. I'll be setting up a DropBox as well for a tertiary backup. A 4th backup will be coming soon in form of a USB backup drive for my file server.

With crypto currencies you can never have enough backups and methods to ensure your money stays where you can access it. Key phrase: your money

It is more true than any other banking system ever now.  Your funds are entirely in your care and trust until you specifically tell it to do otherwise (a transaction is a transfer of ownership in Bitcoin).

Encrypt and backup you're wallets to multiple locations with automation, create backdoors with private key paper wallets for your main savings address(s), maintain you're computer, anti-malware systems, and firewalls.

Once Bitcoin was a novelty, and now it is quickly becoming a hot topic and a power player in the shape of things to come. Imagine your grief when that lost .dat file, a measly amount of information, is worth 1000x what it is right now, or in a more distant future a lot of Bitcoins still worth a lot in the neo-economy. Makes a backup drive and a few cloud accounts look pretty attractive in comparison to screwing yourself out of several thousands or millions because "you''ll do it tomorrow"

I just started a new minting blog that will be at http://www.blockburner.net as soon as the DNS catches up, otherwise at http://blockburner.nailedmedia.com/

I'll be focusing on the mining element, but also plan on renting out the rig as contracts for several cryptocurrencies, with ASICs on the way for Bitcoin.

I also made up a bunch of vinyl Bitcoin logos at work today to fill in the gaps of the piece I was working on, and plan to sell them for Bitcoins or Litecoins, with some of the proceeds going to the foundation and the artist who created the vector I used.

Once I had "found Jesus" in Bitcoin I knew I had to be one of the first businesses solely based on cryptocurrencies, and it plays to my technical and geek backgrounds well. My ultimate business goal was to break away from mainstream, and this is the perfect answer. I'm fully onboard to take down the status quo and rebuild it ourselves from the ground up.

That's the problem, it has  no feature that is different because it is exactly the same.

Don't worry, this is still the beginning. Bitcoin has to become about 1000x larger to reach the market cap of the Dollar, that 100 could be 1000's someday as Bitcoin consumes broken local economy's. Im just getting in now, and seems like the perfect time to, and be a part of driving the system forward.

Bytecoin is vaporware, pay it no mind, this is a critical time for cryptocurrency, we should use our resources to help Bitcoin and Litecoin.

If you're going to introduce a new currency, at least make it something unique. If Bitcoin is gold, and Litecoin is silver, would be best to start one that is more like Rhodium (most expensive metal on Earth) by having there be less total coins making them more rare and difficult to generate.

New currencies are a good thing, overall they all take away from the eroding status quo, but they have have a purpose and there be a real reason for a divergence of Bitcoin. You can't just copy and paste Bitcoin's success by running a paralleled network.

Assuming that is this is actually real, which I don't think it is. Don't post below me and help Bytecoin go away.

There are Wordpress plugins available on Github as well - https://github.com/fanquake/WordPress-Bitcoin-Widget/blob/master/Widget.php

There is a Litecoin version too - https://github.com/live627/Litecoin-WP-Widget/blob/master/readme.txt

Think I'll keep my miner cracking code for Litecoin and Bitcoin, have fun with that though
