Sorry for the OT but why the online machine need more than 8GB of RAM?
The stable version of Armory loads the entire blockchain into RAM.

The testing version will fix that.

Actually I've been waiting for this. It's really bad for the reputation of the Bitcoin world, especially a lot of newbies using inputs.io wallets.

I would hope that there are NOT a lot of newbies using inputs.io, given that the bitcoin.org "Choose your wallet" page doesn't list it and in fact contains explicit warnings about using web wallets.

It always amazes me that anyone uses these services at all. inputs.io is not the first bank-like operation to get hacked this way.

The whole point of Bitcoin is you can be in control of your own money. Why on earth would someone purchase some coins, and then give them to someone else? Just use MultiBit, or Hive, or MacWallet, or Armory or Bitcoin-Qt. The first three are all really fast and can sync with the block chain in just a few seconds.

I lost some Faucet money in there too.
local wallet is too slow( i means download the chain) . I would slower when bitcoin is used widely.

I thinks the trend will be online wallet (of course we need more secure mechanism)

Just keep bitcoin-qt opened, it will be sync some day, they leave it opened, you'll contribute to the network as a full node, and your wallet will always be ready to use.  Just make backup of the wallet file, and use armory to paper backup your cold storage from an offline computer.


I have bitcoin-QT , inputs.io , blockchain, and coinbase account.
I backup my wallet everyday. I use inputs only because the Faucet.

If bitcoin can be generally accept in the future. You must keep some in your pocket (whether is phone wallet or online wallet) cos U need it for transaction. I think it is inevitable. Thus it will still happen in the future

1st--
who in their right mind would store bitcoins on inputs.io


For small amount it was fine because of free transactions.


2nd--
who actually believes it was "hacked"


Actually I do, it is tough to get secure system

It's not tough to not keep a million dollars worth of bitcoins in a fuckng hot wallet, after claiming to use cold storage. No system is perfectly secure, that's why you don't do that, it's a rookie thing to do and I don't see TF doing that after his security lectures on everyone else.

What fraction is this of their entire cold storage amount, I wonder? What happened to their cold wallet?

This silliness is getting plain funny.

Thankfully I only lost a small amount (.17) that I had received for just having the ad on my page.  Now I am ticked I even advertised at all for them though!   Angry 

Ha, and there was me thinking all the people advertising for them were inputs.io Staff... People with ads in their sigs should be careful! Shocked

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Don't use web wallets.

Seriously - it always ends in tears.

Cute Dog.... What wallets do you recommend? I personally use Coinbase.com and that is because they are licensed and a regulated business in California good old USA. You can actually visit the office.


And for the same exact reason I used InstaWallet, albeit in the good ol' France. Can't wait to get my 1,100+ BTC back. Last time I saw my sweet babies was late March of this year, then April Fools rolled around...

The only web wallet that's worth using is coin base.

coinbase could run like inputs too

I doubt, but I wouldnt trust US based wallet, the coins can be frozen and seized at any time coinbase receive oder from DoJ

Is using two passwords, one to login, one to authorize funds transfers, and 2fa on coinbase.info enough to combat vulnerabilities from both sides?

Perhaps it's a good time to remember people to secure their wallet:
http://bitcoin.org/en/secure-your-wallet

Seriously, these events are extremely disappointing for the whole community.

Maybe TradeFortress should have spent less time scamming ripple newbies and creating ripplesscam websites and more time securing his own website!

Everyone in this thread, look at bitcoin-qt and armory together the safes way to handle bitcoins on your computer. Otherwise the best way would be paper wallets, I have a lot of paper wallets.

bitaddress.org or do u have a quick tutorial for doing such

I actually use armory for my paper wallets, it so easy.
