Thank you for all the help, hard to know who you can trust on the internet sometimes.
Sadly enough scammers and thieves are always going to be around. No matter how perfect the system people will always be the flaw.

No problem, any time.
Just post here in this thread or send me a PM if you need any help.

Cheers!

I do like collecting as well. I may end-up doing the same thing Tongue

There is a lot of cool stuff sold here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0

Always check the sellers trust rating.

I suggest you use escrow until you know some trusted dealers.
Here is the community official escrow list:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/escrow-list-108716

I can personal recommend:
PsychoticBoy
SebastianJu
DannyHamilton
Tomatocage

(there is many other good escrows)

Just send the escrow a PM if you have a pending sale, they will help you.

Also, beware of scammers, unfortunately there is a lot of scammers.
Most popular scam these days is to impersonate a seller or trusted member by slightly change the user name or add "`" before or after the name.
So always double check that you got the right guy.

Look at this guy, a trusted coin trader:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/blazed-134378
This is an impostor:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/blazedout419-335426

But don't get scared away be these lame scammers, If you only send funds to a trusted escrow, then should you be good.
I would not hesitate to send thousands of dollars to any of the escrows I have mentioned, they will not scam you.

I am not well versed in the economics of the bitcoin so currently I don't understand having a day to day wallet. From what I understand is in a way it works like it's own stock exchange.

Well, bitcoins have different use. Some have them purely for investment some use them as a currency.

Personally I use my bit coins for trading, buying/selling collectable coins and precious metals.
I can send funds directly between Europe and U.S. in matter of seconds, and the transaction only cost me a few cents, no other financial system can currently compete with that.

A typical transaction for me is to buy goods from e.g. a U.S. based seller, once he receive payment then will he ship the goods to me (or vice verse).
The bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so if I do not 100% trust the seller, then will I use an escrow for the transaction (that both buyer and seller trust).

I just started looking into "cold storage" I think my preferred method will be this since a majority of the bitcoins I do collect I will be sitting on. At least this is the game plan with my current knowledge.

Personally I have 3 "levels" of wallets:

1. Hot wallet (day-to-day spending, both workstation PC and Smartphone).
2. Cold wallet (dedicated PC only used for bitcoin, only turned on briefly when transaction is needed)
3. Cold storage (paper wallet, never spend)

There are more secure schemes than this, but for my use and amounts, is it sufficient.

Thank you for you advice that is one thing I haven't began to think about yet. I was many focusing on the hardware at first. I think I am just going to purchase a small device to start out with before I take the plunge.

Well, you basically just need a PC to have a bitcoin wallet.
https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Personally I use bitcoin core, mostly because I feel comfortable with this client, and know how it works.

Smartphone will do too, but only for small amounts (day-to-day micro payments), for that I use Mycelium.

If you are planning on holding large sums, then would paper wallets be worth looking into, here can you use e.g. bitaddress.org (but download the page and run offline).

Hello everyone!

I am from Anchorage, Alaska due to the military. I am enlisted in to the United States Air force and work on the f-22 Raptor weapon systems for a living. I just finished my degree in electrical engineering and already hold a degree in aerospace engineering with a minor in astrophysics. I hope to bring some new designs to the commuity after grasping the full concept of bitcoins and such. I am also an avid coder I've been writing c++ c and c# codes since 1997 when Ultima Online was released.

Other then my profesional information I was born and raised in Indiana and moved around many times due to education and work. was born in 1989 and enjoy building and designing things.

I currently do not own any equipment but looking to build my own any advice would be highly accepted. I've done plently of research but you can never do enough.

Thank you for letting me be apart of this commuity

Yeah I've gotten into 3D printing I've been doing it from my house since 2009. During the huge scare of Obama banning ammo and 30 round clips and such I had boom in business because I have many, many files of clips for different guns and had a pretty long life span.

That's very cool. You may provide the service for bitcoin as well now.
