Have emailed bidder due to the following statement in my listing:

Quote
Please only bid if you have greater than 20 Feedbacks, with greater than 98% positive feedback, and no recent eBay policy violations. I reserve the right to cancel a bid.

If they have no way to get me to trust them I may offer a second chance.

There's 100,000 whales on Wall Street and it only takes about one percent of them to see the advantage of getting into crypto at this stage.



will someobdy give them a call finally and tell them about this incredible weekend buy opportunity?  Roll Eyes

Re: What is the best way to sercurly store bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies

I can understand the idea of paper wallets but I think they're ridiculous, like fiat money they're easy to tear and you can set them on fire pretty easily, not something I would have a lot of money attached to.

With paper wallet, you can keep (encrypted) ones in you real life wallet and in an emergency use Mycelium's cold spend feature.
You can also keep a backup (or multiple) elsewhere.

I struggle to see the advantage of keeping a cold laptop unless it was to sign transactions then move them on to a live pc.
I think I'm more likely to spill water on a laptop then set fire to my wallet.

Mtgox doesn't exist anymore... are yubikeys still available and useful?

Non gox ones are available, you can use them for a few online services such as blockchain.info and lastpass.
Mt gox ones are as useful as Mt gox.

Seems odd. For years Gavin holds out against all the community's SN questions then "regrettably" tells a reporter everything?

Tin foil hat time: It was planned as a way to bring publicity to bitcoin and distract from the negative news.

Not saying I believe this, just throwing it out there.

Beware of browser extensions, especially bitcoin related ones.  
Don't run java/flash, if necessary use somthing like noscript (browser extension Tongue).


Good post, it's definitely a good time for everyone to audit their own security.

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you!

I personally feel the fees are the killer however it is a viable idea.
Perhaps an alternative model could help, I'll chuck out my top of my head ideas:

  • Sponsored till rolls
  • Higher upfront fee
  • lower fees the more you use (send under £50 pcm fee =3%, spend over £50, fee lowers to 2% etc)
  • Obtain a referral deal with an exchange

Just some ideas, good luck. I would like see this.

Might be worth separating webpage (pro) and forum (brainstorming etc.)

I have setup a basic forum as a start if this helps. https://moot.it/bitcoinuk

If anyone has more knowledge in forum setup,
Feel free to set up a better one, this is just so we have a real starting point.

thats the kind of what idea i had in my head Cheesy just needs a professional look to it but it covers all the basics

I can see lots of big trades in bitstamp and price goin up fast. what is happening? is someone manipulating the price or what is the reason for this fast jump.

I think a lot of people were on the sidelines, just needed a push.
Pushes include its monday (new fiat on exchanges?) UK tax rules and Ukraine issues.
