OP, learn from your mistakes so it never happens again. Think thatyou are still light years beyond all the clueless plebs that haven't heard about Bitcoin. Still plenty of time to get a decent amount before it explodes.

I remember you lol about my Linux, but please considerate it again, with linux you will have your btc safe. I feel really bad about this, 2.5 btc will be hard to recover  Send you XOXO and if you wan to install linux, me and stingleword can help you if you have some questions. I went and got new PC how would i put linux on it? I would recommend just putting Linux on the old machine instead of throwing it away. If you are paranoid, you may want to make it an offline machine with no network access. Agree, Linux in the old machine will fix it and make it faster. By the way, looks like karma is paying you back GS  hugs for you! |

Are you sure you are completely safe from malware with linux?
If you use linux do you need any protection software?
what is the best distro to use? how about mint cinnamon??

how was it? you should have secured it in a trezor...
Trezor for storing BTC2.5? Would you spend BTC1 for storing BTC2.5? If you are having large quantities of BTC, then Trezor is a very good option. But for someone who is having just 2 or 3 coins, it won't be a good idea to spend half his coins to store them securely. Trezor is less than half a bitcoin. I think I'd recommend getting one for storing 2.5btc (and all future btc acquired). The peace of mind is worth it to me. |

call BTC and make a complaint LOL.
Well, you learnt a lesson. Do not store in BTC more than you cannot afford to lose. keep the money in your bank account/card...not in BTC shit
LOL... are you serious? People are holding millions in Bitcoins and you are telling to do not store money in BTC  ... Your bank account can be compromised too I just want to say. If you are following security instructions while storing your coins nothing bad will happen. Chance is as little as that your bank account will be compromised. |

How can you explain all the hacked bitcoin exchanges though? Looks pretty convenient to me. |

There is Mac and even Linux-specific malware out there. The reason most hackers target Windows, however, is simply because it is the most common OS. A hacker would probably rather spend months creating a virus that targets 90% of all PC users. |

If BTC goes 100K you just lost 0.5K in something that could be replaced with a hard disk/usb and common sense. No thanks Jeff. |

What did happen, these coins are still on that address as final balance. Or you've lost access to it?

The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes. This is not paid AD!

If you are following security instructions while storing your coins nothing bad will happen. Chance is as little as that your bank account will be compromised. How can you explain all the hacked bitcoin exchanges though? Looks pretty convenient to me. Have you heard news for example about this one? : Bank Hackers Steal Millions via Malware -- http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/world/bank-hackers-steal-millions-via-malware.html?_r=2If you lie to yourself that bank account is a safe money storage idea you are completely not reading the news about bank hacks which are on the way every year. Yes - I understand that Bitcoin Exchanges are under attacks. You though they will be not? Why? Hackers will walk around without seeing a chance to steal millions? Well some cases proved that hackers are not always needed when we have an inside job. But, thing is there will be always some security issues and same thing is with any digital good made to storage your money. You are the one who can make your money more secure by choosing the best way to storage your coins/money. You are always under some risk of losing it. In all of the cases whatever you will think about. Best regards. |

If BTC goes 100K you just lost 0.5K in something that could be replaced with a hard disk/usb and common sense. No thanks Jeff. I assume you meant $50k? But I would have gained 200k on the rest, and probably rebought the .5btc before then anyway so the total gain is $250k - $120. Not even counting the gains on extra btc i woulda bought because i had no security worries. |

In 2013, I had bought 3 USB sticks for $10 ($3.33 a piece). I think that storing my coins in a USB drive is much better than spending $100 for Trezor. |
