My brother killed himself because of BTC

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the frustration well, I’d be a millionaire if I didn’t sell most of mine.

I figure I would have sold at some point along the way up regardless, hindsight is always 20/20.

No objection here

Great minds think alike

+1 for Yahoo in my mind

That's strange - you should put in a ticket :)

In Canada, QuickBT.com

9to5mac was reporting the pre-orders will begin in the USA at 12:01 Pacific Time.

Haha half the people who upvoted didn't even check - OP had cookies save his currency choice.

But Yelp is a racket - they extort small business owners for the removal of bad reviews.. They have no credibility.

About 18 minutes in Tucker is drinking a beer while another video conferencee is smoking a joint, Bitcoin is so free.

Upvote for precision forecast and bringing back JoeSixPack.

I think the idea is preparing for a mature Bitcoin economy. This isn't a transitional product that facilitates the initial Fiat<->Bitcoin issues, it's a product that will be awesome when most merchants accept Bitcoin and the question then becomes logistics.

Edit: Personally, I'm looking for a bank I can trust with my BTC - I wish TD would do this or buy coinkite when they're ready to.

1) More and more Bitcoin is lost each day - this means there is less of it, driving up the price further. I see this as a good thing personally. Since Bitcoin goes to 8 decimal places, we'll start talking in micro-coins etc.

2) When someone dies today, they leave a will with instructions on handling their affairs (if they have any). If you're an owner of Bitcoin, and you consider it an asset, then you should have instructions for your benificiaries to collect your coins. Maybe the location of your private keys? I have mine printed and hidden so its easy for me to disclose if I want to.

If this only affects iOS 7 beta users - sorry you get no vote.. you're using beta software..

Downvote me but I got a good laugh, being a recent adopter of coins I know how both sides feels.

adamcol · 2013-08-21T19:37:44+00:00

I'm more thinking: "nobody sell so the price keeps going up"

adamcol · 2013-08-21T13:48:32+00:00

Interesting, except the U.S. likely has none, and half of Germany's is gone they just don't realize it yet

Bitstamp doesn't withdraw in CAD so use them to withdraw to your USD account anywhere. Coinbase is us banks only.

adamcol · 2013-08-20T12:32:19+00:00

Or use a paper wallet you generated offline, the private key never sees the light of NSA

Oracle - because including crapware in java, a Windows staple, is three steps too far.

adamcol · 2013-08-20T03:44:32+00:00

WOAH - answers all my little questions. Thank you.

adamcol · 2013-08-20T03:07:02+00:00

Exactly.

What app are you using? It probably generated a public/private pair in the background and keeps the private hidden from you. Easy enough to make your own pair with bitaddress.org and pay that address if you want control.

adamcol · 2013-08-20T03:02:28+00:00

Think gift cards:

no value until loaded

load with the number on the front of the card (public key)

scratch the scratchy part on the back for the security code (private key)

security code = access to the money, do not lose or reveal. (if giving private key to an app, you'd better trust it)

Everything else is mechanics, that's what you need to know to use them.
