Because it is familiar, and thus confusion with it's other contexts cannot be avoided.
What's the confusion exactly? |

uh, forget it -lots of blocks showing up now - maybe a problem with the site...?
Yes, few hours ago when I tried to look up a Bitcoin transaction, blockchain.info lagged while blockexplorer.com was fine. Blockchain now recovered. |

If I manage to generate a Bitcoin address with already containing 100 BTC, I would suppose a broken RNG as the cause, and afterwards panic sweep all my funds off to the cold storage wallet. After emptying out the wallet from the affected wallet software, I would investigate the incident first before taking any actions.

Why not just using "Bitcoin cents" when suitable? The term "cent" should be familiar.
100 Centibitcoin (¢BTC) = 1 Bitcoin
1 000 000 Satoshis = 1 ¢BTC

one of my friends made 2.25 BTC just by gambling. He was just lucky. im thinking of using peer bet. do you think i should do it? No. You should spend your BTC to a good cause instead of inflating the pockets of some rich peoples. do you gamble? No, unless I can figure out a miscalculation on side of the bank. |

I'm using Windows 7 as my main entertainment system because it just works.
But when security becomes a major concern, only Linux based systems are used.

Here are three examples of deep brain wallets: Conclusion: Don't use brain wallets if you don't know about how to choose really secure passwords. |

I'm using: | Bitcoin-QT | for remote JSON API calls
for Bitcoinarmory | | Bitcoinarmory | for organizing wallets which doesn't need instant access (because initializing Armory for online transactions takes long)
for large offline storages | | Electrum | for allday transactions | | blockchain.info | for mobile usage (storing only amounts which I could afford to loose) | | inputs.io | for small dust transactions
for Bitcoin mixing (storing only amounts which I could afford to loose) |
I liked the wallet, but you need more than 2GB of RAM now, so not for low-end computer
Sadly, Amory takes 6 GB RAM for Windows and 4 GB RAM for Linux now. I managed to run Armory with only 4 GB RAM on Windows after ending all unneccessary processes, but using the GUI (and doing transactions) is still a tedious task because of massive RAM page file swapping. |

I have about 2 29 Satoshis  (don't try to PM me a phishing stuff or trojans, I'm using offline wallets!) |

Why is it risky to reject God and the Bible? What if the so called "superstitions" are true? It is risky then because you are rejecting God's offer of eternal life. No. To not believe isn't more riskier because a deity could exists which punishes superstition and irrationalism. He puts evidence of His existence all around us. Doesn't make sense. If there are evidences, why a christian needs to believe? |

Well, every day I'm gladder I don't use Windows.
TPM would work with *nix too (including Apple*OS*) because it's implemented directly in hardware. As long as TPM is enabled, you are giving up the full control of your own computer regardless which OS you use. As soon as TPM sealed&secured devices gets widely adapted (because no one cares as long as it just works), you will be increasely run into compatibility problems if you don't downgrade (for the most peoples, it's a upgrade). Windows 8's TPM feature is just another step to slowly adapt TPM widely on the home PC (as I said, almost nobody cares because many devices like tablets, iOS and Xbox are already sealed). |

As long as you do Windows updates, Microsoft is capable to put a backdoor code in it. It also applies to previous Versions, say Windows 7 and Windows XP.
My concern is TPM (Trusted Computing Module).
As far as I got TPM, it seals the operating system like a tablet, modern TV, Xbox or an iPhone, taking away the control of your own computer. On a future sealed TPM PC, running arbitrary programs likely requires you to jailbreak your own PC!
Because sealed devices like iPhone getting more and more common today, the majority of the citizens increasely accepts the loss of control as long as the App market serves all the needs of the majority population.

My desire to transfer money anonymously brought me to Bitcoin.

Whats the best dependents on the needs. All clients have pros and cons. I'm using Armory because of the great offline wallet feature although the client on the online computer eats up 4+ GB RAM.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure you cannot be jailed for failing to do something you cannot do. Under some circumstances the burden may be on you to show that, on the balance of probabilities, you were unable to comply with their demands. You could claim that the key file you need to decrypt the data is on an USB stick, which renders unreadable. The only thing they could do is to guess if you're lying, and where guessing comes into play (guessing here is an emotional act, not a rational one), you can get into trouble no matter if it's your fault or not. |

How many pages of noob posts can one site maintain?
Depends on the server. |

Why not using the signing function at brainwallet.org? Both the sender and the recipient can create and verify message signatures. |

Do you have taken a look on the source code of at least one random Bitcoin client?
