Hiya Steve, I've been doing that too. This seems like a friendly forum though ;-)

Hi,
I've been following bitcoin for about a year and a half now, and I'm happy to see all the attention it's been getting lately. I've been stuck for months on a problem related to my poor choice to encrypt a wallet that I believe was created from a 0.4.x client using a more recent version. Attempting to send the coin that's in the wallet results in the error, "Transaction creation failed." The bitcoin that is stuck in this wallet is now worth a non-trivial amount, so I intend on getting some posting done here and seeing if anyone can help in the tech support forum.

Hi all,
Hansen my name, Im interested in everything about bitcoins. Had a bunch a while ago, when they were around 10 dollars, saw them dropping to three and wasnt so mad when my wallet got lost because of a windows crash. No I AM mad, because the wallet now would be worth a couple hundred dollar. Shit happens. :-)

You want less fees? - You want a stable currency? - You want a fair distribution of raised funds? - You want anonymous transactions and communication? - You want so much more that doesn't fit in this line and will look crappy when writing it down because it will just be so much? - JOIN RADIX!

I took the Unlock() method of wallet.cpp and built a branch of bitcoin which allows for rapid password entry against this algorithm. I'm not a cryptography expert, so I didn't tinker with the algorithm although it's possible to make the check even faster, since we don't actually need to unlock the wallet. If anyone's interested, I can't post a link right now because I'm a forum newb ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) but I'm trying to get past that stage ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Greetings and salutations, I am spork. I mine for coins, which I then use to buy more hardware to mine more coins.
I might have a wee bit of a problem...

It used to be so much easier to mine bitcoins... I should have dropped out of school and put everything I had into it. Sigh. And I still don't even have my degree, either. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

My Bitcoin History:
@$10 USD/BTC: I was told about bitcoin about a year ago, but not as an investment, but as a payment system for business. I'm ADD, so I didn't get around to it until about a month ago...
@$40 USD/BTC: I began to research bitcoin
@$50 USD/BTC: I bought my first lot of bitcoin
@$60 USD/BTC: I had 1/3 of my liquid into bitcoin...
@$70 USD/BTC: I was up late one night and able to sell at $70 and buy back at $60 during the dip
@$80 USD/BTC: I got cocky about the last day of trading and had 2 days where I lost about 30% of my BTC
@$90 USD/BTC: I sat tight and held on for $100
@$100 USD/BTC: Yesterday, I moved my BTC from Gox into BTC-E to spread my risk and accrue more BTC via alternate currencies
@$1 USD/LTC: Today, I spent half my bitcoins on LTC last night... I sold off NMC before going to sleep, it tripled by morning. DOH!
@$4 USD/LTC: I sold half my LTC for BTC @ 400% profit in under 12 hours!
---
Purpose
I'm a 27 yr old working in the legal field, doing well for myself and would like to make some high risk investments
I'm here to learn, contribute, and be apart of something that is more then just an investment bubble, but a revolution into a new category of money systems
I'm enticed by the positive attitude of the community, and believe that this will gain power through the people, despite inevitable resistance from governments and old timers.
The idealist in me wants to believe BTC will be successful and even co-exist with fiat, but the realist in me see's great risk in getting to greedy...
1. Government & Legal trouble that will arise if BTC gains enough power. It's a threat to the banking institution and very powerful people. It's also a threat as a means to buy drugs, sex, and even use it for international terrorism. Even if the government loses this battle, the resulting psychological effects of bad press could cause a panic and lead to a crash or at least a great reduction in price.
2. Easy manipulation @ low volume (relative to the entire market) ...@ only 1 billion it's very easy for big owners to manipulate the numbers and set traps
3. Competing alternate crypto currencies. Can BTC monopolize the market, or will it be necessary for others to compete. Do they offer some feature that bitcoin can't? Can they co-exist?
----
Anyway, glad to be here. I spend most of my time in the speculation forum on the wall observer thread
-Kyle
