Newbie question:
If I made copies of my wallet.dat, cut/paste into a usb, wrote the pass phrase on a piece of paper, and stored both the paper and usb in a safe box, would that be considered 'cold storage'?
Also is using this method safe when wallet versions are updated in the future as I would merely be copy/pasting the wallet'dat and using the passphrase to open my wallet?
How vulnerable electronically speaking is this, aside from physical vulneralbilities?

Yes...you have been slapped a few times now...it shows  From what I can see the only one here thinking they know what others think while they are slapping you around silly for jumping into a conversation clearly unprepared with nothing more than mouth and cheeky attitude.Even this Honeypot guy makes more sense than you and you are just being a nagging effeminate hung over trying to get the last word in lol. Also, don't make obvious attempts at trying to be clever and try to be less obvious about if you are butt hurt from other people's jabs at your soft spots...try to come up with with your own thing for a change.You clearly have no understanding of how other people think, and even less of Americans or anyone else for that matter. Only thing sappier than the 'American Dream' is your idea about what you think you know...which you have little grasp of. Nope. Not unless you think being 'slapped' or winning an argument is by calling someone a 'bitch' 'whiny bitch' or a 'little bitch' several times in one paragraph to any user he disagrees with, but you sound exactly like him now alleging nonsensical stuff you cannot back up and somehow have deluded yourself into thinking you're right. I think the comments you're resorting to now just sound like the deathrattles of someone who knows he's been defeaten or cannot further his argument so he's just trying to attack in whatever childish way he can. And I'm not sure exactly what softspots of mine have been exposed, but we all now know which yours are though. You should probably take your own advice from the parts that I've bolded as they apply to you. You've continually proven my point about the type of American you are just like Honeypot. You take criticism of America personally and it only ever hurts ignorant patriots and nationalists, but maybe we should just leave it there though because this isn't going to go anywhere. We can let others decide who's right and who's wrong here. Are you still thinking I am an American...lol. You've been rambling on for a while now about how you think you defeated anyone when you are the one being called to the stand for not having any coherent arguments other than your attitude. When presented with facts, you are clearly resorting to popularized misconceptions and insistance on politically biased fantasies while always trailing behind to get your last word in, just like you do after every argument that exposes your very transparent feelings. 'Winning' I think we all know who is barely 18 here. Personally, I don't think Honeypot is wrong in marking you as a 'bitch', if he in fact did so. |

Weren't you the one who first opened your mouth when he wasn't even being all that jingoistic? He was speaking in general about developed nations and Carlin's attitude which seem more or less accurate despite being some what extreme. Then you came in with some attitude and start taking about America and now 'team America'.
Did you get slapped by this Honeypot guy or something you sound really butthurt. Not being sarcastic.
Nope, he was 'slapped' by me several times before in a similar fashion to how you have just been and for similar reasons (though you're probably not as horribly racist as he is), and the only butthurt person here is you. He also resorts to childishness when he can't back up his points though, but I'll also give you that you're slightly less childish than him seeing as he generally just resorts to using the word 'bitch' and other schoolyard insults in various ways over and over. He's one of those typical Americans who think their country is the authority of the world and people should be grateful when they have the honour of being 'liberated' by them as if they've been done a great favour that could never be repaid. I don't think anyone said USA was the savior of the world, only doing what its influence and power eventually forces them to act in a way that protects its interests. Not to mention their so called atrocities are nothing but in your imagination, and those receiving them such as saddam or gaddafi and osama are pretty much an undeniable picture of corruption, ignorance, and outright murder. Haha. Shows how delusional you truly are. Protect its interests? Oil and money? That bolded part sounds like the very definition of what America has become and that Iraqi and Afghan body count is atrociously high, but they deserved it and are better off now because of it, right? Tyrants fighting tyrants. The real terrorists are always the ones with the bigger weapons, but keep believing the propaganda and singing the Star Mangled Banner and believing in that sappy American dream. It's clear you are blinded by it. Yes...you have been slapped a few times now...it shows From what I can see the only one here thinking they know what others think while they are slapping you around silly for jumping into a conversation clearly unprepared with nothing more than mouth and cheeky attitude. Even this Honeypot guy makes more sense than you and you are just being a nagging effeminate hung over trying to get the last word in lol.

Housing bubble = get quick rich scheme, fueled by cheap credit, from the idiot savante middle upper class who can't figure out a better way to acquire money. Bitcoin bubble = get quick rich scheme, fueled by an-cap paranoia, from the ibtards who can't figure out a better way to acquire money. Funny how they are but two sides of the same coin. |

I didn't say you were one. I said you sound like one, and it's you who started the petulant knee-jerk reaction of which typical Americans do to criticism of their country. I find your hypocrisy laughable here and that in fact shows more of your insecurities and probable hollow pride in patriotism. You complain that I'm being puerile but then follow it up with the most childish reaction and innacuracy. America hasn't done anything to me personally, but I find it amusing when Americans spring to its defence as if it's the saviour of the world and we should be grateful to it for protecting and serving us all. I personally might not have felt the wrath of Team America but millions in other countries sure have and continue to do so on a daily basis, and your excuse is just, but there are worst countries - look at the Asians and poor countries! but that's always the case from you people. Passing the book and shifting the blame.
And you're still forgetting he's an American comedian commenting on what he sees and knows. Are you going to stop polishing the knob of America and bending over for it or do you have no regard for your own dignity?

Not to mention their so called atrocities are nothing but in your imagination, and those receiving them such as saddam or gaddafi and osama are pretty much an undeniable picture of corruption, ignorance, and outright murder. 'You people'? Every time you hang on to people's words you prove them better by actually thinking you are in the right. You sound really childish right now and I was thinking we are supposed to make this a 18+ site. Did you get slapped by this Honeypot guy or something you sound really butthurt. Not being sarcastic. |

He's a comedian. That's his act. You know what you just sound like? A typical butthurt American who doesn't like anyone criticising their glorious country who thinks everybody in the world should owe it something. America is going down that hell hole of annihilation itself and taking the world with it and has been for quite some time. Carlin's view might be extreme, but he's funnily right if you can look at it objectively, and you're still not willing to accept he's just a comedian commenting on issues as he saw fit. Many intelligent people agreed with him. Many unintelligent ones didn't. I think you get the picture here.
Actually, he's only looking at things from what is called 'useless contrarian' point of view - arguement for the sake of arguement. His arguments could easily apply much better in east asian societies or any nations across the poverty parallel. Yet, for some reason, it's all doom and gloom for people like yourselves when it's about US. I actually happen to think you are just being childishly cheeky about being butthurt because for one thing you automatically assume I am American, and another being you have this petulant knee jerk attitude of spouting insults while clearly not considering it oculd apply just as well else where least of all yourselves. I happen to know many Americans who are some of the most down to earth, solid people with clear view of their goals. People like you on the other hand, try and bitch with some severe sense of insecurity complex and anxiety that is clear as day. Tell us.....where did big bag 'murica touch you to hop and squeal without any regard for your own dignity? |

Hey everyone. In today's developed world where we have glasses that can access the internet and robots that can think on their own, it is a shame that there are still people in parts of the world living under 1$ a day.
What can governments do to end poverty in their countries? Is a solution possible under capitalism? Or did Karl Marx had the right idea with his recommendation of a socialist government?
Well considering these Three Bias 1. Capitalism in modern countries is an imperialist resource acquisition strategy 2. Economic development tends to be motivated by presenting favorable conditions for exploitation in the developing country primarily funded by corporations 3. Geo-strategic interests tend to involve wars in capitalistic countries and why their is no wars among capitalism as they fight for these economic resources, as proven through the USA and its interference in Latin America shown through Pinochet and similar military dictatorships and its recent escapade into the Middle East including creating a civil war by taking Gadaffi out to access water reserves and oil supplies, albeit he did fund terrorist groups but was the Stabilizing force in the country. I come to the conclusion that a Socialist system not a Communist one has potential if done correctly and properly managed the question is can it be done reliably. It does seem to be working far better than Latin American Capitalism did though if we are looking at a testing ground the Left Revolution or the Pink Tide has improved social and economic circumstances far more than the previous 20-30 years of capitalistic dictatorships or neo liberalism has. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2011/09/2011913141540508756.htmlI guess to an extent strong state control transitioning to a more open system once the economic system is developed is a good route although there will be issues through the process. It is human nature to exploit and conquer, in one form or another. Aljazeera as an 'unbiased' source? Only in some naive, easily manipulated leftist wet dream. It's actually a form of bias and manipulation at its worst: By attempting to take advantage of the moral ambiguity of the west, it advances a racial and ethnic ignorance of the arab world as some twisted form of 'enlightenment'. Our world is not rational, and it is certainly not right according to what makes you feel reasonable. By villianizing the west and its core principles while deceving themselves about their own intentions, they conveniently create a situation where they are the heroes (actually rapists and thieves who manipulate people to willingly submit), while others are 'imperialists', 'racists', 'oppressors' etc. It's pretty transparent. |

He just doesn't like anyone saying anything bad about the greatest country in the world and his American dream.
Actually , we haven't seen George Carlin doing anything useful other than pretending he's the only sane man in the room. I have to agree to some extent with Honeypot, even if my sentiment isn't that extreme. If you look at it objectively, America has much above others. Are you American? Carlin probably was one of the only sane men in the room, and yes, America does have much above others: http://youtu.be/1zqOYBabXmA (from 5:18 onwards). And you're forgetting one thing: he's a comedian. Carlin was certainly not alone in thinking there are two sides to the same coin. What's funny and pathetic is that he seems convinced he alone was the only sane one, and supported by ignorant people who praised him, most thinking they are also themselves the smartest in the room. I think you get the picture here. Why forget US is basically providing a great deal you take for granted? Should the dollar and most other US based structures collapse, do you have any idea how fast the world will go down the hell hole with annihilation of anything resembling stability? And no, he is not being a comedian. That's a pretty weak cop out for wanting to rant like George Carlin. |

According to willy report and other sources......it is highly likely that mt.gox either 1) suffered a greater setback through hack attempts than they let on, 2) willingly manipulated their own markets and orders with bots to steal customer funds 3) both.
I have been doing extensive research on these matters and reading up on several well investigated articles. Karpales, or whatever the fatass's name, is truly fucked.

If you look at it objectively, America has much above others, and George Carlin's opinions for the sake of self-gratification makes it difficult to take him seriously. Or any of his fans for that matter. He's talking hard shit, bit he has nothing to back it up with. He certainly has little courage to criticize really jacked up people around the world, but is overly comfortable in criticizing at people he thinks can take pot shots at. Since when was he, a child born and raised in a comfort of 1st world nation, such an expert in moral dilemmas of the world  If nothing else, I think George Carlin is pretty much spot on........about himself |

The basic premise of this thread and it's questions are shallow and misleading.
Poverty is also a state of mind and a symptom of a larger issue. Key solution to poverty is not a political ideology, but progress in national and individual character, in addition to economic policies. Framing poverty as a root cause rather than a symptom that it is can whitewash the problem.
Problem and its root cause are always the ones you have most trouble accepting, or even contemplating that it exists. Some of the 'poor' in US, for example, get a rude awakening when they go abroad and try to lecture real poverty stricken people with their sob stories of 'discrimination', 'oppression', or better yet, 'unfathomable poverty'.
Socialism and pure capitalism are two side of the same rotten coin - but i'd say properly implemented capitalism at least gives people a chance, while socialism is even a bigger fairy tail of failure and denial while giving people the illusion of equality.
Differences in talents, circumstances of birth, or economic background, unless strictly caste based, are natural character of a society no matter when and where you are. Key problem is whether they are surmountable or actively and willfully suppressed by the state.
Relative disparity is not poverty.
Socialism is a childish fairy tail, and capitalism is a merciless and cold reality. But only one of them deals with reality of human nature, and that is certainly not socialism.
Nicely put. There will always be haves and have nots. No system will provide equal results but we should strive for equal chance and let everyone compete according to their talents and work ethic. Equal chance on the most basic of things - not whatever you feel is your due. It's a slippery slope. |

QE is a weapon wielded against those who use manipulation and such methods to unbalance their trade advantages against US.
First major economy to be hit by inflation was china, but people forget this fact.

It's easy to try and criticize capitalism. People thrive on lapping up scraps while calling themselves 'determined' or 'enlightened'
People of such color are always ready to spread their legs for whatever will help them feel better.

I think many are aware there are big players manipulating the prices. Each time, they have enough capital to will the market one way or another.
They can't have it rising up forever and ever. Dips will shake out weaker hands, and allow consolidation while allowing more and more control to the few rich.

Too far off to care. We will have something very close to quantum computing by then, unless circumstances force us otherwise. Technological progress has been rather tough to beat over time.
