I am using android.. but actually I am not a trader, I am just a small investor and a market observer. I sometimes trade for fun. But if you a trader you can not spend time seeing all aspects of alt coin, you have to focus in price, that is why I am not a trader and never will

Yes, trading altcoins is a full time job sometimes, and more...

Someone asked me to ask around which mobile platform he should learn first: Android or iOS.

I know people already use phones for 2FA and small widget/apps for price checking, blockchain wallets, SPV wallets, all kinds of things. It would be a good idea to know what client base is the largest, and what client base would pay the most, if different from mainstream population.

Thanks for the votes guys, I see Windows is quite strong these days.

Amazing that so many people unlocked the private key but did not pilfer it immediately, that's very nice of you.

I also created a fun game to raise the money needed to fund some mobile trading app development: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bomba-pumper-101-bittrex-bomb-picks-open-donations-mmog-830859

i tried to import the private key into mycelium. Sadly i think the private key is invalid. I can't import it. But maybe i'm doing something wrong.
Try using this http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chld=|1&chl=6PfTopTWeEGm8MqNAmzVsBjqo4eFCisGyAVco3fhMJSj73WFNTiT6Veiz4 and see if the key is imported. Use the Cold Storage menu link for example.

I'm not heavily into alt trading but usually i check bittrex or any other exchange on my android tablet.
Plus i have my twitter alt account linked to it too. I think you must have an android there too.

I advise NO ONE to import this private key to their bitcoin wallet. OP's private key is likely insecure and will STEAL your bitcoins.
I was going to dl a new wallet and try, no way he could steal my BTC...

We appear to have some conflicting opinions. Let's hope they both determine which one is correct and gain this knowledge for future purposes.

If you know the answer, then you know that the best application on that platform has "cold storage spending", where it signs transactions with a memory-only key which is wiped after the signing and is never saved or added to your wallet.

Here is public key, where the coins are relaxing for over 11 hours: https://blockchain.info/address/1NbGBsTDfbUbFPxjqNgTixjuDk5kHdrbbs

Ok thank you. Why didn't you just put the public key in the OP in the first place, putting the private key there when this was supposed to be a competition raised some alarms.
Public key can be derived from private key, which can be easily obtained by solving a simple puzzle (you only need one of them) Wink

Don't forget to vote before collecting the bribe!

And according to here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key, "In contrast, bitcoind provides a facility to import a private key without creating a sweep transaction. This is considered very dangerous, and not intended to be used even by power users or experts except in very specific cases. Bitcoins can be easily stolen at any time, from a wallet which has imported an untrusted or otherwise insecure private key - this can include private keys generated offline and never seen by someone else."
Your security issue is valid. If you keep this private key that is known to several people (hundreds at the moment) and you accidentally send money to it or use it to receive (which is unusual in regular usage) then you can have your "shared" coins used by someone else.

I edited my post, They could import, just don't do it to a wallet with bitcoins in them, as it's extremely odd they you present a challenge to find out your favorite mobile platform, yet present us with a private key instead of a public key....

Bribe Response: Your favorite platform is Android.
Coins still there, what have times become, I can't even bribe people anymore... #sad-day #too-old #yobo

Yes, but for $10, not $159.99.
Everyone has a price. Technically, prices for the same tech will halve every 18 months. That $160 phone will be 10$ in 6 years.

The problem however is that since the USD is inflationary, even if they make a $10 valued phone in 6 years, that value will be represented by $20 instead.

So you need to wait 8 years. And then everyone will already have iBrain implants and nobody will care about pocket phones...

That's an odd response from you, "Coins still there, what have times become, I can't even bribe people anymore... #sad-day #too-old #yobo"

I(lately) just realize that OP has presented us with his private key instead of public key, which is extremely odd :
What's your current device and how do you use it while trading?

Bribe inside: The first person to discover what is my favorite platform, gets to collect the coins from this private key: 6PfTopTWeEGm8MqNAmzVsBjqo4eFCisGyAVco3fhMJSj73WFNTiT6Veiz4

Thank you for your answers!


I advise NO ONE to import this private key to their bitcoin wallet if you have bitcoins in it(a empty one is fine). OP's private key is likely insecure and will STEAL your bitcoins.
