Hi. You should know that OilRigContractors was hacked. We had to change to new server, they tried to hack wallets.We have all the funds, no money lost. If you want your pending withdrawal to work, you have to unfreeze the account.

1) Login to Oilrigcontractors like you do every day
2) Cancel any withdrawal if you made one
3) Unfreeze the cron job wallet (IMPORTANT)
You can unfreeze the wallet by sending 0.02 or more Bitcoins to our Oilrigcontractor wallet:

4) Then try to withdrawl money. When the confirmation goes throgh and the wallet sees your 0.02 bitcoin the cron unfreezes and you can withdraw your money.
5) We will allow all members to withdraw their funds over the next 7 days. You can withdraw up to $500 a day - but have to unlock the wallet first . Step 3 is important. Use Multibit or any bitcoin wallet program.

Re: Better way to do paper wallets?

The easiest way to generate a paper wallet IMO is to use bitaddress in offline mode.
You could completely format your harddisk before and after generating your paper wallet for extra security. Smiley
It would be the safest to boot Linux from LiveCD and generate your wallet there. If possible, an computer that have never and will never access the internet.  Smiley

Err, how can you do this if you need to go online to bitwallet to get the wallet generator? I thought you'd have to go to that website, then unplug the internet and get your bitwallet from a javascript on your computer, right? I'm not very tech savvy. Please explain. Thanks.
You download this script from an online computer https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org then u transfer it to a USB storage device. Next, you find a computer that have never and will never be plugged into the internet and boot linux from live CD and use the script. You can check the script too. Unplugging the computer from internet when the computer have already accessed the internet is not recommended as they can still get your information after you go back on internet.

Re: Like to know about BTC mining

I have also heard that BTC mining has become less profitable.So i am confuse about it. Should i start mining BTC or try in other cryptocoins?
1) Buy (Recommended)
2) Find a high efficiency ASIC from a trusted seller, try not to preorder it. (Guaranteed to make ROI)
3) Find alt coin. I wouldn't recommend this much since there are plenty of pump and dump coins.

Ok,

This is probably wrong but it is how I do paper wallets or cold offline wallets;
1. buy an extra android phone
2. install electrum
3. transfer coins to electrum wallet
4. email the encrypted private keys to myself after writing the password to decrypt down on paper
5. print out on paper the qr codes and letter/number sequence for private codes
6. put this piece of paper in safe place.
7. turn off and pull battery of phone.
What do  you think about doing this blockchain? I think that is much more easier.

Blockchain.info has a pretty easy way of creating paper wallets.
It is online, using Online services to create paper wallets defeats the purpose since people with malware on their computer can get a copy of their paper wallet stolen.

I would go get a really crappy desktop and then purchase USB Scrypt Asic devices and run them off that computer, save your money for a nice gaming computer for you to use and not ruin the graphics cards, due to their lessening efficiency when it comes to hashing power and cost to run.
Crappy desktop is around $100++ And the amount of power used to operate it wouldnt make it even profitable. Buy a raspberry Pi instead, uses less power, less space.

He would still need the power to run the GPU even running on a RasPi, true it would be less power but more of a mess since its not enclosed in a tower.

Unless your'e stating to run the usb miners on a Raspberry then your statement makes sense.
He's talking about USB ASICs isn't it. I am referring on his plan on buying a computer an buy USB ASICs.

Trying to use SSD, it will improve the download speed obviously. Smiley
Verification and write speed, after downloading, your computer need to verify the blocks individually. SSD greatly improves the speed. Download speed is dependent on your internet speed, not on hardware.  Smiley

Consider purchasing gridseeds. They use less power consumption and less price than gpu.
I heard that some of the USB and some other types to ASIC died easily. Not sure about their new product though. Consider about getting knc titan.(scrypt miner)

It seems to be quite hard to bypass Great Firewall of China using VPN. Tried it once and it didn't work.

32% of al chineese bypass the gfw on a daily bases.
So this is no big deal.
If they are clever enough to use Anti DPI. well, thats possible. Tried accessing facebook and twitter using various VPN and none of them worked.  Sad
You are simply not clever It looks! ,  Wise UP or die is the motto Smiley....
34% of the chineese is more clever then YOU are Smiley
For  DPI to work you Need a PATTERN Smiley , if no pattern can be found DPI is USELESS!
You come from a western country so you never needed to protect , thinking gov is friend.
If a connection is random noise no DPI will help.

In Vietnam, VPN is used by 38% of the online population and in Brazil and Thailand 36%. Mexico, India and China all reported use by an estimated 34% of the population that has access to the internet, with the UAE and Argentina on 32%.

so only dummy's are stoped by firewals.
Ths also explains why chinese people are more skilled , then western people , in chine they deal with real problems.

You really have to use a printer that doesn't save cache of the printed files. They can be retrieved if you discard it.

Either that, flush the cache  usually there is a way - even with the big office copying machines) or use a paperwallet that requires you to write a small code by hand which makes the rest useless. I dont remember off the top of my head which generator allowed that though.

I'm not as tech savy as you guys. I'm probably just gonna take my printer to the gun club when I'm done with it and shoot it.

Paper wallets. Up until a couple months ago when I first discovered bitcoin, a paper wallet is an origami wallet. Lol.
Exploding it would be a better option.... Wink

Re: Is there a guide to Cold Storing your Bitcoins?

None of the following are "cold wallets":

-snip-
Use wallets like myceilum . . .

At worst, a cold wallet is a wallet that is not and never has been accessible from the internet.

At best, a cold wallet was generated with a source of randomness that is guaranteed to have at least 160 bits of entropy, and the private keys and addresses are calculated on an operating system that itself has never been connected to the internet, and no address that has value associated with it has ever received an output that has been spent.
I'm sorry for my poor phrasing of my word. I was trying to say there is an option to spend from cold storage, making it more convenient.

Re: Which is the most trending and easiest way to grab btc for free, now a days?
by
cahirlet
on 19/05/2014, 10:52:49 UTC
Yes,now a days signature compaign in forum is the best,easiest and instant way to grab btcs.There should be a proper website functioning for signature compaigns.like ads publisher site,advertiser and publishers , by making a proper signature compaign site,people will trust these type of schemes and will be paid to according to rules.
May be someone will take notice on my request about creating a proper website linked with bitcointalk for signature compaign system.
i am also attached signature compaign of PrimeDice.
Website doesn't mean much though... If you are attached to an operator which is untrusted, you should always ask the Signature campaign operator to use escrow. It is much safer..

90% of the alt coins are actually pump and dump coin. It is kind of risky to get into this kind of coins. Their value can suddenly crash. And I thought GPU mining arent suppose to use much of the processsor? Maybe only SHA256..

Why would you buy an extra phone if you just mail the keys around the internet anyway. True they encrypted, but you can generate an offline wallet with any old pc, no need for a new phone.

Id just get a script (preferably from github) that does the key generation for you.
#1 Download script
#2 verify download
#3 copy via (new) usb stick to old PC running a live linux from CD/DVD
#4 generate keys
#5 print
#6 keep printed keys safe
You really have to use a printer that doesn't save cache of the printed files. They can be retrieved if you discard it.

If you are a Hero member, then you can get as much as BTC0.0014 per post. That is equivalent to $0.63 per post. This rate is much higher than what you'll get for normal forum posting jobs ($0.15 to $0.20).
Those signature campaign mostly need constructive post. It can be hard to get constructive posts. Still, a good way for forum user to earn some small amount of bitcoins through posting in the forum.

Edit: How come blockchain isnt a good reliable source for cold storage? for paper wallets, I was actually considering this..

The problem with Blockchain/any online service is that if you somehow get your details stolen (ie from a keylogger/reusing passwords/not having 2FA enabled) they can quite easily log into the wallet there and steal everything. The only way around that would be to create the paper wallet and then delete the private key from the wallet.

I personally don't like paper wallets as a cold storage solution - sure they are pretty safe (please encrypt with BIP38 so if you lose one you don't have your coins stolen) but you can't actually make transactions without having to import the whole address again which is frustrating.
Use wallets like myceilum? They offer a cold storage spending option. Make sure your BIP38 passphrase is long enough and give one to your TRUSTED friend. If you happen to lose it, you can get it from your friend.  Smiley
