Bitcoins - digital currency
I did underestimate the stupidity of people to fall for this **** as well as how big the bubble could grow. Rest assured, I'm playing the long game, and Ethereum will be <1% of Bitcoin's value in 10 years, and 1% is probably a high estimate.
It's 2% now, so a 50% relative loss not a huge deal
If I would have trusted Tom and bought bitcoin instead of trying to mine it I would have about $1,000,000 right now instead of $15,000.
No? If you use Electrum like I do that is required. Also the miners can be considered "hosted servers". What exactly is the difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin with regards to validation?
I am not sure I understand. Bitcoin also requires P=NP right?
Vitalik doesn't decided ethereums fate, it's up to the miners and the users to decide. It is true that he has a lot of influence over both the users and the miners. But that is very different from the kind of control that for example Janet Yellen has. He doesn't decide the fate, but he influences it greatly.
No... In fact, most people don't think P=NP. Bitcoin verification is a simpler set of problems than Ethereum validation.
There is no requirement to use fiat (well, maybe there are in some parts of the world, but not many).

To acquire it was free, it was sent as remittance by a relative in the states. To sell it was a profit for 2% in Asia since there was a demand for them in China.

State changes in EVM gets confirmed by miners like transactions get confirmed in Bitcoin.
Fwiw I trust people like Vitalik. I have known a few people like him and they have all been 100% trustworthy people to me. I might be mistaken, but I would be very surprised if he was anywhere near as evil and wicked as many politicians and other people with political authority.
Any suggestions for best course of action with Coinbase asking me the source of my income there? They asked once before a while back and one of the options was investing so I chose that since it is somewhat true. They are asking me to be more specific now or they will close my account. I have already withdrawn most everything from there but I would like to have them as an option in the future. I'd prefer not to lie. They sent me an email say they suspected online gambling despite my having always used an intermediary wallet. I need to reply soon. Thanks

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you can lie to them and hopefully keep your account going or tell them the truth and 100% get your account closed. The choice is all yours.

What site did you play on?
Did you only use 1 tx between going from gambling site to coinbase?
Did you re-use any addresses, or did you mainly use 1/few as the intermediate step?
Go into bitcoin QT. Change the port number to 9150, and it should start to make connections and update your blockchain. Keep in mind, the updating can take a long time, depending on how far along it is. Hopefiully, it just needs to update since it lost connection, which shouldnt take too terribly long. If that does not work, message again, and I will walk you through more steps.
EDIT: Easy way to fix: To fix the problem, to the menu Settings->Options and click the Network tab, then set the IP to 127.0.0.1 (if it isn't already) and the port to 9150, and make sure the SOCKS Version is still set to 5.

2%? I see just over 10% according to total value. Maybe less if you discount all the premined coins that the ethereum founders gifted themselves.

If you desire a centrally controlled fiat-like currency, then Ethereum may be the project for you. It has no place in Bitcoin, which is trying to be *money* not a "world computer".
This transaction got overruled by miners:

Well, if you want a system built on trust and human fallibility, Ethereum is for you. Most trustworthy people don't scam with a pre-sale and set aside massive profits for themselves, or try to roll back transactions that benefit themselves. I'd trust a politician over him. At least it's obvious they are scammy.

If coinbase starts looking at the previous transactions or doing some sort of taint analysis, you can use shapeshift to send btc->monero->btc to get clean coins. You can also then say you mine or invested early in monero if they ask. Monero is an anonymous coin so they couldn't verify it even if they really wanted to.

That is true for any other currency also.
Sometimes people are lucky and find other people willing to sell/buy without markup. It's not like one person who wants it and one person who wants to get rid of it both have to lose right? They can just agree to exchange at market price.
Also you are very clearly dodging my questions.
I disagree with the term scam. They were very clear with everything from the beginning. If Ethereum had failed they would all have lost a lot of value, thus they took a risk and a reward for the projects current success seems very reasonable. I also took a risk when I crowdfunded Ethereum and the reward I have had so far is in my opinion totally reasonable.
If you prefer to trust a politician over them you are free to do so. As for the other way I am not actually free to do so. The asymmetry is very clear.
As for it being scam or not, can you clarify some terms for how to decide this based on outcome and not semantics? For example how much should the price fall from the presale for it be considered a scam? Or are you saying that if Ethereum increases 5000% 2 years after the pre-sale it was still a scam for everyone who invested?

For the rest of us that do gambling site -> intermediary -> coinbase, can you comment on what your mode of operation was so we can avoid questions from them in the future.
What site did you play on?
Did you only use 1 tx between going from gambling site to coinbase?
Did you re-use any addresses, or did you mainly use 1/few as the intermediate step?

I created a new Blockchain address for each withdrawal.
It's possible that they were curious about my transactions, googled me (I have a unique name), and the first and only professional info that came up was poker stuff.
It's also possible that I just made some kind of airheaded mistake in the process. It wouldnt be the first time. But I have looked over all the transactions and everything seems to be done as stated.
Whats the best replacement for me?
I don't know where you live, but try kraken, poloniex, gemini, etc.
Thanks. Which would be best for US. NC, specifically, if that matters.
I like Kraken. I don't know if they take US / NC customers. Your best bet is to find exchanges that are open to you, and then ask about them.
If you are using your coins for things that may be regulated in the US, you are best using things like Local Bitcoins.

And one currency is more likely to be what people have. Hey, if you happen to have someone sending you Bitcoin, Bitcoin could potentially be better (until transaction fees have to pay for network security, or competition drives down fees of other networks).
If that's the case, I apologize, I'm trying to answer.

You've managed to outwit the stupidity of the crowd, so sell while you are ahead.

Pre-sale coins are scams. Plain and simple.
My question was what your much cheaper alternative was.
If I refuse, they send people to my door. If I refuse them they will use violence. If I try to protect myself they will kill me.
Why? Please define a bit better, is this correct?
Pre-sale = scam
Pre-mine = not scam?
USD = pre-mine?
(most) Stocks = closed pre-sale?
Personally I don't have anything against presales or IPOs. I generally stay away from pre-mines as they often seem to be scams, but I am not saying that all are. And I do have something against fiat currencies not matter if they are premined, presale or not.
