I don't mind waiting another 3 hours.


I need to get another post in anyway so I'll talk about bitcoin for a bit to prove i'm not just here to coin people.


If you're a casual person in the US, you should be using Coinbase. Your funds are way more secure with them (potential 2 factor authentication, over 80% of funds stored offsite) than having them stole from your computer.

A real prolem with bitcoin is how totally unsecure holding coins on your hard drive is. Your computer could crash and the coins are easily stolen. Bad combination. Not to mention how absurdly slow it is downloading the blockchain. Forget it.

Blockchain.info is good if you want to play satoshi dice. But for some reason I just don't trust it. I've heard some bad rumors about people manipulating it. The software itself works great and is convenient but I don't trust their security. For a newb with under 50 BTC, blockchain.info is fine.
