Title: trusted address vs anonymous address Post by: coin8091 on September 15, 2011, 08:17:58 PM nothing happens to a thief who steals bitcoin.
excuse my lame question... why we don't have 'trusted' addresses & 'anonymous' ones... so that 'anonymous' thief can never move BTC from 'trusted' addresses to his 'anonymous' address.. -------- when the transactions is between: trusted -> anonymous there can be checks/mechanism for 'trusted' address to revert the transaction... within a day or so... so that the real owner with 'trusted' address can have some reaction time to realize the theft and reverse the tx.

Title: Re: trusted address vs anonymous address Post by: terrytibbs on September 15, 2011, 09:56:01 PM So basically you want to make Bitcoin transactions reversible?
I just think you're mad you got scammed. Title: Re: trusted address vs anonymous address Post by: jduck1987 on September 16, 2011, 02:36:22 AM What we need is a better way the secure our wallet.dat files.
Title: Re: trusted address vs anonymous address Post by: ParrotyBit on September 16, 2011, 11:35:04 AM Because if trusted-to-trusted transactions aren't also reversible, then all the scammers will just become trusted by operating legitimately at first. Sending 0.01 BTC (or .02, .03, maybe even up to .08) to a few people to build up trust, then stealing hundreds. Kind of like they already do!
This would change nothing. Title: Re: trusted address vs anonymous address Post by: coin8091 on September 19, 2011, 05:49:34 AM @nmat
well , i can't think of any 'checks/mechanism' now, so intentionally I leave that term vague as of now :p may be some form of web-of-trust or friend-of-friend concepts... ---- keeping ones wallet safe is simpler and fool proof, asking for reversible tx seems to be lame... ! thanks guys. |
