Hi, I used bit2me the otherday during a trip to your country, it was great to see how the fiat came out of the ATM thanks to BTC for the first time, the 0 comission was nice too, please keep it like that, comissions suck

I have not used your service, but it appears that this is yet another new direction for making buying and selling Bitcoin easier.  Bravo!

A nice work-around to make selling BTC for cash (via ATM) is nice!  Now get to work to see if you can create a BUY BTC service via ATM too!

The more ATMs (regular ones, not just "BTC ATMs" which are very scarce now) that will work "both ways" re BTC would be HUGE.  Best of luck!

You're right OROBTC, I've used it twice and have not had any problem, it is reliable, fast and secure 100%. Thank you very much for bit2me servicing and continues well.

They are not very expensive.... but I am against the idea of trusting a less known brand with all your Bitcoins. What will happen if the hardware gets corrupt?

All the hardware wallets typically have some backup measure like HD (BIP 32) , thus are essentially as secure as a paper wallet or your ability to secure that paper backup.

Here is a breakdown of all the ways to secure your bitcoins:

I recently got my self a trezor and i could say it works like a charm, the fact is i could sleep at night with out thinking about my btc wallet key being stolen or getting my pc hacked.
is really nice to see a break down of how can i secure my btc better.

4) Create paper wallets

The only way to keep your bitcoins away from the claws of hackers is removing them from the network.

No.

Before you go creating a paper wallet, note that they are actually less secure than normal encrypted ones, see here:

Cold storage is the way to go i recenly moved to cold storage

Recently I have seen a lot of guys using Trezor, especially here in Bitcointalk. Have to say that it is one of the best options available, for some one with more than BTC10 in his possession.

Thanks dude for this information it helps me alot.

[Hazir]

Thanks for that link, overall good lecture but I find it rather weird that author is recommending this:  "there are services like Coin Base's Vault or Xapo where you can store your bitcoins in offline servers protected with high level security standards." Wouldn't every other online service is screaming at you that they have state of the art security protections? Just to be hacked month or year later. I think that any third party online service is not good for me.

Im gonna try bit2me or btcpoint next time i go to spain it sounds cool.
