How about this, applying the same logic as with a partitioned USB to this.

Using mybitcoin.com for day to day transactions and when there's enough coins sending that to your linux wallet address, and backing it up from there.
You have the security of a backed up wallet for significant amounts, and the day to day ease of use of an e-wallet.

It feels like I'm missing some fundamental point on how this logic fails, could this work?

Having discovered bitcoin only a few days ago, I don't have the ability to judge for myself what is more or less secure.
I only go by what seems to be a general consensus among different people/guides that using linux and a bitcoin client is a preferred method security-wise.

I'm definitely open to hear otherwise, it would certainly save me a great deal of headache to simply use an eWallet.

Secure or not, I'm not interested in mining at this point.
More in investement.

That's what I thought, and that's why I'm confused as to why so many people keep getting into mining with it seemingly being a net loss at the moment.
I don't think that many people are as concerned with long term results as with short term profit, and short term profit wise it doesn't seem like the best choice to mine.

Christ, difficulty already at 156 while the price stays the same

Is the system designed to go up in difficulty along with price or with the amount of mining going on?
Because if the amount of miners is what changes difficulty it doesn't seem logical that so many new people get into mining with the difficulty spiraling upwards as it is.
I'd imagine mining right now for any individual is a net-loss, all things considered.

Awesome, thanks!

The partitioned live-usb method looks like the best ratio between security and practicality.
Someone should write a tutorial on it 

Yeah, I already partitioned it using a bootable program.

Now I just need the location/name of the blockchain file/s

Sounds good.

I'll find information on how to partition a flash drive
Could you tell me where the blockchain is located in Ubuntu?
Is it a file or multiple files?

Thanks

Different sources are saying different things.

To my understanding a live-usb version (WITHOUT installation/storage memory) of ubuntu is good for security since it doesn't leave traces of your wallet somewhere.
On the flipside the bitcoin client has to reconstruct the block chain every time, which can take hours for me, seems really impractical.

I'm looking for a good ratio between security and accessibility.

Thoughts?

They can be down for 48 hours for all I care if it'll give them the chance to put the damned instant buy/sell options back up!

Seems a little too easy to be real if you ask me.
5x bitcoins with good odds?
Might be a catch.

Hello friends

I have never used mtgox myself, the only information I have is reading about it.
What I'm wondering is, is it possible to withdraw money in some form if I live in Israel.

The only option I see on the site is withdrawing bitcoins (to a wallet I suppose?), I don't see a bank transfer option for Israel on mtgox or bitcoin7 for withdrawing, but there IS one for adding funds, which just confuses me. 

Anyone share some pro insight on this?

Thanks Jakeyboy, that's one

Hello friends.

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, I'm aware of forbitcoin.com, but it seems to have alot of junk offers and I was hoping to find a site that's more polished, where the offers are a bit more moderated, if one even exists, I have not been able to find one on my own.

The service I want to offer is creating personalized nutritional and training programs for about half the price of any official source (clinical/sports nutritionist, hired personal trainer etc.)
If anyone has an idea where I could post such a service without having to build my own website, I will give you an e-hug.

Thank you!
Dmitri.
