You guys look at the 2TB SSD or HDD, while I can't help but focus on:
I think you overpaid.

128mb
I think you overpaid.
If you ever need a reference for work as a proofreader, I can endorse. 128GB naturlich. At least I didn't show my age by slipping KB.
I suppose if I want to translate the GUI to Chinese, I should show up in #monero-dev, ask about which branch to touch, and make a pull request to it.
Seems really worthwhile to me. They need Monero pretty badly in China.
W0w I did that last year, was at a computer shop and asked a guy for a 2gb. Doh

I have a question. How big is the Monero blockchain? I decided to use the full client and I was wondering if 10gb is enough to sync the blockchain. Also I would like to ask how fast the syncing is.
10 GB is probably barely enough for the file on disk, although the actual blockchain is only about 1/3 of that since (some optimization remains to be done on the efficiency of storage use).
The speed of syncing varies greatly depending on your hardware and bandwidth. I can sync from scratch in 1-2 hours but others report a few days.
You using a SSD? I'm pretty sure my magnetic platter hard drive was the bottle neck for me.
My minimal memory made my HD work even harder during syncing. After syncing NP.

USB thumb drive...cheap...
I just bought a 128mb PNY at Walmart for USD 34, FYI.
2TB SATA-II, $509.
Typo? 2TB spinning disk costs around $100 USD. Although a 2TB SSD around does cost over $600.
1 left...and it's gone.
Spinning disks? Are those still a thing?

Soon, no mixing service will be able to "hide" BTC transactions.
Moreover, all of those past transactions through mixers are going to redflag you. The cows already left the barn. I am hoping you used a non-cooperating, un-penetrated, exchange as a cut-out, because otherwise your coinbase/circle accounts are going to get locked down, and your PII goes on a DHS/DOJ/DOT/JTF/FinCen red letter list. No security clearance for you.
Precisely.

Fortunately the U.S. doesn't usually apply hereditary taint domestically, so your children will be okay. For now. Until the U.S. and Chinese systems converge more fully. They are tending to converge pretty strongly lately, though.
It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you.

Do you guys see this very important information?: BTC under attack by USA gov(XMR more value than ever) (spread this news) : http://www.sandia.gov/news/publications/labnews/articles/2016/19-08/bitcoin.html
Sell my main BTC into XMR i think and not get any BTC anymore

That's not necessarily the govt attacking BTC. Bitcoin has never claimed to be anonymous, only pseudoanonymous. Those companies are trying to de-obfuscate BTC blockchain transactions, and they're not the first:

Soon, no mixing service will be able to "hide" BTC transactions. I do agree that if one wants private transactions, Monero is the way to go. BTC is perfectly fine for transactions for which one doesn't care about privacy. I believe both are needed.

According to someone reddit post (6 months ago) 10 GB can be not enought - https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/45hu6p/blockchain_sizewhich_wallet/
Even if you can get it to 10GB, the blockchain will grow, and your OS files grow as well. Even if you're talking about a USB thumb drive, you can get 32G or 64G fairly cheap, and of course a regular hard drive with more capacity would be better. Those are also fairly cheap. I just checked Amazon for both types of storage and you can get them from $20 to $40 US. It would be better to have a little extra space and not need it than to have not enough space.

The price is bouncing back, nice, maybe the price will keep above 0.006 in the future. Maybe back to 0.003, who knows.
