Title: Bitcoin OS Post by: Anonymous on July 06, 2010, 04:32:19 AM It would be nice to have a custom linux distro that could be installed on a usb key for using such things as freenet, bitcoin and tor.Could you transfer bitcoins by mail on the stick by using private key encryption to ensure the usb key is trusted?Would this be safer than posting money orders,cheques or cash for payment?Could you set your payment to expire after a certain time period so that if the usb key was lost or unclaimed you could have your bitcoins returned ?It seems that since the network knows the history of each bitcoin it would know if they have been redeemed or not.
Does any of this make any sense ??? Title: Re: Bitcon OS Post by: The Madhatter on July 06, 2010, 04:50:01 AM A guy on onionforurms who calls himself "shrew" has an OS called shrew OS. It is almost exactly what you are describing. It is FreeBSD based, rock solid, has I2P/Tor/Freenet on it. Someone needs to convince him to bundle Bitcoin with it and it will really rock.

I'm not too familiar with Tor/I2P and the like yet. Can we reach him on the normal internet?

Hes behind 7 proxies lol Title: Re: Bitcon OS Post by: chaord on July 06, 2010, 08:22:41 AM Yeah, I just went into both the Tor and I2P networks and couldn't find him anywhere. I guess that's the problem with privacy oriented people developing mainstream solutions...you can never find them ;)

Here's his site: http://xqz3u5drneuzhaeo.onion/users/shew/ (Over the regular internet by proxy: https://www.awxcnx.de/cgi-bin/proxy3/nph-proxy.cgi/000000A/http/xqz3u5drneuzhaeo.onion/users/shew/ ) If only he included Bitcoin... :P Perhaps someone can nag him. I'll do my part. :D Title: Re: Bitcon OS Post by: Anonymous on July 06, 2010, 10:24:20 AM Ahh, I was working from memory.. His name is "Shew".

ready to run thru TOR even from a mobile-virtual-box. |
