Is a wallet merely a collection of private/public key pairs that can be used to send/receive Bitcoins? Mostly this. Rest is ease of use (compared to working with a command line.) edit: Working with multiple addresses is more a privacy issue, rather than security. |

Best is to spam around low content posts and answer to every topic, even - or better - especially when you don't have a clue about it. You will also make it to my ignore list pretty quick.

I feel that she is a really cool moderator, sure everyone has their own opinions, but there's this little thing called Ignore button, you can Ignore even mods you know. So if you disagree what's stopping you from being a crybaby to deal with the issue the way it's supposed to be dealt with.
Actually, no, you cannot ignore mods LOL ~BCX~ I can, but Lauda is one of the few sig spammers, who actually provides content, so I have unignored him/her/it. edit: grammar |

] I find almost all threads/postings from people with ad campaigns in their signature have such an extremely low content, that I would like to see a button to ignore them all at once. Please ...
Must be leading by example and showing us how to make quality posts. So much better now   Almost all? Least you are not full on biased,way to keep that door open in case you need to back pedal a little bit. I find you to be very low content as well,so it is a mutual feeling right back you!  Sometimes I check back and show ignored postings. Almost all of them are writing senseless stuff, like "Bitcoin will remain an eternal secret and its creator is watching this forum" (add some extreme grammar errors for the real experience). It is obvious, that these comments are posted only for sig spamming and not to contribute something (at least funny) to the topics, like Lauda does. So, thanks again Lauda and Danny. This forum is a better place with the ignore list  |

the ones who control most bitcoins has more to lose.
Miners aren't necessarily the ones who control most bitcoins! The early adopters control a large amount, the future miners have less than one-third of bitcoins left to mine the rest of this century. Early adopters sold at a price of 10$ thinking they reached the moon. |

Craig involved at Silk Road??? Holy Moley! How come, the US has a problem with the extradition? Pretty strange. I would expect them to be able to get PoM in a plane without his permission in form of a signature.
It seems, there are more to the story than our naked eyes meet. Here is the hint of involvement of Dr. Craig Wright in SR saga...  Source: https://twitter.com/BitcoinBelle/status/732039453166931968 |

Theymos is right on this. Let's see how many of you are crying when some bad ass hacker comes along, gains access and dumps 1,000,000 BTC on the market. It will be welcome to December 2011 all over again But Hey I firmly believe in global purification through nuclear annihilation anyway. ~BCX~  Theymos is wrong! Let's see how many of you are crying when Satoshi Nakamoto comes along and dumps 1 Mio Bitcoins on the market. This risk was always present and when asked about Bitcoin security, people tend to post a picture of the sun. You here stuff, like "Laws of Thermodynamics forbid Bitcoin to be hacked" or "Bitcoin is protected by the power of Math" etc pp. If somebody was able to hack Bitcoin now, we are finished with it. Too many people will lose their money and trust. |

With all the drama raging, everyone already at each other's throats, why would someone bring up quantum computers breaking Bitcoin and start talking about destroying Satoshi's coins? Help me out with this  For some reason there is hostility developing towards Satoshi. Which is incredible because without him, there would be no cryptocurrency. Makes you wonder what would happen if Christ returned - I expect he'd be lynched and crucified in a jiffy by all his loyal supporters. And they would take his gold coins to ensure nobody else will steal them. |

Theymos forgot one important thing: IF someone could hack these coins, Bitcoin would be worthless, not because of the inflation, but because somebody was able to hack it.
edit: "Theymos is this you?"

Why would we put respect on him , for what ? Because he's claiming to be something he is not ? What kind of person does that?
I am yet to see signed message you talk about, and when you find it , post it in this format :
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
msg
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
satoshi's known address
signature
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Oh, wait.. you can't..
This, forever and always |

Until there is an alternative to proof-of-work that is proved to be secure enough to power a global, decentralized ledger, it would not be correct to call bitcoin mining useless or wasteful -- unless, of course, you don’t think Bitcoin provides any value to the world.
Transacting via blockchain secured by POW uses too much energy, by design. The cost of mining 1 BTC can not be significantly lower than the price of 1 BTC -- that's how the network is secured. Read the white paper. That's as wasteful as having to spend $90 to print a hundred-dollar bill. With most of that $90 being Chinese, coal-fired electrical cost  Bitcoin is not responsible for how mining energy is produced. Btw the same "coal-fired" energy is used to support fiat. Now you seem to have an exact idea on how much for example a dollar (or a yuan) actually costs to produce, secure, transfer, hold, defend etc. Mind to share the number? Of course bitcoin is not responsible for how mining energy is produced, bitcoin is just a codebase, can't do anything without people. The fact that most of the mining happens i China on government-subsidized, 70% coal-fired power is just a fact. That's how it is, AGD. The revamped $100 bill costs 12.5 cents to produce — a 60% increase over the 7.8 cents it cost to print the older version of the bill. Hope this helps. Production cost is easy to google. How about my question? (remember: produce, secure, transfer, hold, defend - and add recycling cost, salaries, cost for storing, cost of couterfeiting etc etc etc.) The price will be much higher than the actual prodution cost and this is also higher than Bitcoins mining cost. Again, you need to understand, that you are not here to "help", but to discuss. Stop your "hope this helps" bullshit already. It sounds arrogant and also lets you look like an idiot, combined with the lack of actual content, that you provide. If you include the price of your laptop, your internet connection, your iPhone, your "hardware wallet," all the "bitcoin businesses" that get VC funding and piss it away, all the time you waste on the internet getting ripped off & pumping BTC, I'll include the cost of brick & mortar banks. Deal? See what I mean? You can't provide any content to support your statement. You don't know the actual price and energy that is wasted for fiat, though you are stating that Bitcoin mining is "a waste of energy" and definitely higher than fiat. All that yaddayadda about "cost of my laptop" have no relevance for this discussion, because I don't use it only for Bitcoin transactions. How much would it cost for me to send 100000$ USD to China? How much would it cost to send the same amount in Bitcoin? Which transaction would be faster and which would be cheaper? See, Bitcoin has some obvious advantages, which justify a certain amount of energy to be used to secure the system. |
