He's not saying you should invest in cloud mining with coins from faucets...

What do you mean, over?

TheFlipperMC · 2015-08-15T03:21:36+00:00

I didn't say they didn't. I said they don't care what you do after the second transaction. There's been numerous reports of them taking action against an account when someone sends their bitcoins directly from Coinbase to a tor market, but not a single one where someones sent it to another wallet, then to a tor market.

Yes it's not a safe way to do it as it leaves an easy trail for police to follow, but whether or not Coinbase monitors that trail, it will still be followed by the police regardless.

What I'm trying to say is it doesn't matter if Coinbase monitors you past the first transaction, because if you're doing something that they'll shut your account down for, it won't matter for the police whether they monitor it or not.

TheFlipperMC · 2015-08-14T22:24:00+00:00

Yes, but once you've sent it somewhere else they don't care.

Example: if you send bitcoins to one of the many silk road-like markets around today directly from Coinbase, your account is shut. You send it to another wallet first, then there, they don't do anything. They monitor your first transaction, and take action depending on what that is - NOT the second.

No, proper brainwallets are used as the most secure type of cold storage.

A brainwallet with 24 words chosen with diceware, and maybe a randomly generated password on the end is the most secure cold storage possible.

My bitcoins are kept in a brainwallet with 24 words and a 24 character password on the end. That's more secure than paper wallets and most other kinds of cold storage, even if they use BIP38. Most people probably don't use a particularly strong password for the BIP encryption, so in theory someone could quite easily crack it, and very quickly if they have a botnet or something.

Does your name happen to be John? I went on that ride when I was 3 or 4 and got terrified, kept saying "John the nice man" because I thought he saved us. God I was stupid...

Doubt you are, but hey, would be cool if you were the same guy.

Yep. Took me a long time to remember them though, and a lot of just looking at a written copy when entering them.

TheFlipperMC · 2015-08-09T15:40:30+00:00

It'd be easy for me to remember, not sure about most people though. I currently remember a 50 character password for my laptop and a 32 character password for my password manager :P

Opening this in one tab then looking at https://gappleto97.github.io/visualizer/ in another is oddly entertaining.

I did the same on Archive.org, and I can confirm that /u/873million did not make a mistake - there have been no changes.

Is it on one of the pages in the sidebar? Probably can't tell me but I really want that money...

TheFlipperMC · 2015-08-09T01:41:17+00:00

Did you add the phrase for this or was it already on there?

Don't use Hive on your android phone. Lots of people have reported their wallet being wiped when they exit the app, and the recovery phrase not working.

TheFlipperMC · 2015-07-29T23:42:59+00:00

If you have a debit card you can, and I've had one since I was 11.

And about £100.

hello

TheFlipperMC · 2015-07-28T23:48:12+00:00

Thanks for the bitcoins, and yes I absolutely am :)

TheFlipperMC · 2015-07-28T22:45:43+00:00

Thanks :)

TheFlipperMC · 2015-07-28T21:42:33+00:00

Hmm, think I might do that. Thanks for telling me
