Title: Can SEND BITCOIN commands be created, copied then broadcast via another machine? Post by: Fuzzy on June 29, 2011, 07:29:44 AM Let me see if I can explain this:
- Lets say you have a machine with bitcoin installed, along with the wallet - You go to the GUI and SEND 1 BTC to some address - That computer now sends a packet/signal to the network to make the transaction - However, said computer is vulnerable as it is connected to the internet - Can that packet/signal INSTEAD be created on a machine that holds the wallet, but is NOT connected to any network, and instead be put on a USB - Then the USB is connected to any networked PC, regardless of whether it has bitcoin installed, and the Transaction packet/signal is then broadcast THUS, leaving the machine with the wallet securely disconnected from the net at all times. the USB can now be formatted/discarded/microwaved Title: Re: Can SEND BITCOIN commands be created, copied then broadcast via another machine?
