Zero, but I had about a hundred by farming on my old laptop for a little bit when no one took them seriously. I didn't transfer them up to this.
Feels bad man.

Mt. Gox will sell them to you for USD. Use Dwolla to pay.

You could also try selling something for Bitcoins, built up a reputation, become an entrepreneur.

Put a Bitcoin wallet on a flash drive, don't connect the drive to the internet/computer unless you are sending funds.

Keep another wallet on your computer. Whenever youg et funds, send them to your computer, and then forward them to the wallet on the flash drive.

This is what I do. If someone ever hacks me (I don't even use windows, so that trojan won't work) then they will have an empty wallet.

They have instructions on their site. You can use a router number on a check.

Right, spending a few minutes clicking some buttons and typing a number is too much effort.

Better to make the same money by only labouring in whatever job you do for several hours.

So people can get their Bitcoins, and then cancel their payments, and get their money back? Paypal makes it very easy to withdraw your money after an order, but Bitcoin payments are irreversible.

Or so Mt. Gox can have their funds stolen like Minecraft, Cryptome, AnonTalk, WikiLeaks and a million other sites have had happen to them?

Are you new? Paypal closed their account a while back. Ask anyone that's been around long enough.

Whether they should have or shouldn't have, it's still a common policy of Paypal to steal funds.

It's not a difficult concept. Using paypal will mean that anyone can get free bitcoins from Mt.Gox, and the money they do make can be frozen and stolen.

I bought coins from some guy at https://bitmarket.eu/ earlier, paid using Paypal. You need to prove you're trustworthy first by showing them an eBay account you have with positive feedback (there are some other methods of proving your trustworthiness but I forget). They make you send the payment as a gift so it's harder to reverse.

Also, if you're using Mt. Gox right now, there is currently a dump of the DB for sale and a few CSRF exploits were just patched but more exist I'm sure. Simple way of understanding CSRF is you log into Mt. Gox, visit malicious Bitcoin related site that automagically POSTs data to your Mt. Gox session, such as transferring BTC out to another wallet.

Well then, you know that AnonTalk did have their funds taken by Paypal.

So did Minecraft, Wikileaks, cryptome, and many others.

It would be retarded for Mt. Gox to do it.

Wonderful, but even if Mt. Gox is assured they will not have their funds frozen, anyone could buy some Bitcoins, do a chargeback, and Paypal will give them their money back.

Mt. Gox can't get their Bitcoins back, however, and therin lies the problem.

It's so easy to do this, that many people would.

Mt. Gox is already making $40k daily from their small transaction fee, they aren't going to risk losing hundreds of thousands of dollars to appease lazy-asses like you.

Zero, and this doesn't bother me at all, as I still don't know how they work. Even after being told a couple times by a couple people who are seemingly knowledgable about them.

So your mom invested then?

You can send cash to Mt. Gox with your acct # and they will credit your acct.

Even if you don't know how they work, you can sell them for big bucks.
