windows is less secure simply because its the most widely used and so the most targeted.

No, its because the NSA backdoors it.

It's also NOT the most used.

GNU/Linux is the most used OS in the world if I'm not mistaken?

You're grossly mistaken.

I humbly take it back Sad

I was under the impression that billions of servers were all using linux, dwarfing the desktop PCs in numbers. And then there's android which is huge (and also linux)

first one would need to define what it means to be "most used"; one could argue that Windows is the most used, if one defines used as used like the bathroom stalls at old inner city greyhound bus stations

Thanks for this WIKI though, I find it funny that almost ZERO super computers use windows. The idea that one might is pretty funny to me.

A blue screen super computer Cheesy

That's probably because supercomputers don't use intel x64 architecture Sad

Just guessing.

Check edit and buy food from vendors that accept btc directly, those that use payment processors are supporting a competing economy Wink

I have some mixed feelings about these points. I understand the point that you are making and I agree that if you know that the business is holding BTC, then they would be the preferred business to patronize.

However, I tend to believe that anyone taking BTC is a good thing, and surely, we should also be sympathetic to the businesses using payment processors (and really we do NOT have any meaningful way to verify the extent to which the payment processor businesses are directly converting or holding some percentage). We should, if we can, be inclined to replace any BTC that we spend, anyhow.

Another ongoing issue remains the tax treatments to use BTC as a form of currency... which is bullshit to have this accounting disincentive hanging over our heads.... Currently, I am trying to get around this (put this off) by simultaneously (within a week or so) replacing any BTC that I spend, and that way I can claim that there was NO capital gains or loss (makes for easier accounting for me, so far). Now, down the road, if I begin to make some substantial purchases that also include capital gains, then I will NEED to account for such gains in my projected IRS filings for the year.

Maybe consider residence in Germany if you're likely to be badly stung with that one, they stated funds from addresses that haven't moved for more than a year are tax-free. No idea how long that will last, they had the same opening on precious metals but changed it fairly recently.

+1 on the more accepting btc the better and accepting via a payment processor is far better than not accepting, the spending drive gets to me is all, "spend, spend, spend" sounds a lot like the "waste, waste, waste" of perpetual "growth".

Are you from Germany? (I am) Is it confirmed somewhere, that non moved bitcoins on an address are a legitimate proof for the tax free selling of these coins?

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf

looks like we are coming upon another day to scoop up some cheap coins. If we dip under $400, I am pulling out my wallet again and adding more to my holdings. I am actually happy with what I have already, but I don't like to pass on good opportunities when they come around...
