This is the worst thing Gox has done so far i think, i seriously hope this completely kills the exchange in the near future. They don't deserve to be an exchange for a free-market currency.

Butthurt much?
master of the obvious much? Bitcoin was just as unstable when it was sky-rocketing as it is when it's diving. And just as useful as currency.
We don't have any sort of stability and it's still pretty much a work in progress.
This changes absolutely nothing in this respect.
Hopefully we will lose some weaklings who will run away in tears.
If by losing weaklings you mean the general public (that needs to have trust and faith in a "currency") then that is a serious flaw in how a fiat replacement should work. This crash just proves that cash is king and as far as the general public, and those who have now dumped btc for fiat, is concerned: In God We Trust. By weaklings i see people jumping the bandwagon without having the slightest clue what bitcoin is all about, how it works and so on, they are only jumping in because they want to get rich quick (like the litecoiners and co). A lot of precisely those bought into bitcoin last week and probably sold at huge losses the past 48 hrs (tnx for cheap coins btw, can i get some more when gox opens pls?). I think it will take a few more years before the general public really starts using bitcoin on any noticeable scale. |

It'll fall pretty sharp as more people panic sell, then begin its treacherous climb back up to $250.
It will drop like a rock, i'm sure about that, but i don't see it climbing back to 250 any time soon, maybe back up to 50 in a few weeks, slowly.. Which is only good for price stability. |

My question is why someone who doesn't believe in Bitcoin spends so much time in this forum?
because troll? |

*signed*
For both performance reasons and to make a stance and show the bullshit scam alt-chains aren't worthy of attention.

Is there an updated version of this or will there be one available soon?
Current version is based on v2.2, official bitaddress version on github is v2.5.
I compared them quickly and there seem to be a lot of differences.
Also noticed the original development topic hasn't been touched since 03 feb. did it fail testing or what happened?
Encrypted paper wallets are pretty important i think, specially now that bitcoin is getting spread wider.
As for recovery safety, are both versions equal? Can i be 100% sure that the keypairs generated by the script are valid and that i can import them when needed? Don't feel like dumping my btc in a black hole...

Worst mistake was trusting MtGox with my bitcoins. Lost pretty much all i had back then due to this lame vulnerability on their site.

Gaat dit zo'n clubje van rijke eliten worden binnenkort? xD

netjes, mooie designs goed om te zien dat er steeds meer mensen btc accepteren |

Geenstijl was jaren geleden een leuke site kritische site die bizarre dingen aan het licht bracht.
Dit bitcoin artikel laat goed zien waar ze naar zijn afgedaald en waar de belangen liggen.
Ook de comments spreken boekdelen over de 'reaguurders', sadly.

again, why would anyone need to or want to switch? just to get an "early advantage" since coming in to bitcoins at low cost is not possible anymore?
In case you didn't figure this out, that's the whole point of pretty much all of these alt chains  |

What happened? He scammed 500k btc and lives happily ever after.
End of story.

Don't you know ppcoin is the successor of bitcoin? bitcoin is unsustainable and will crash soon!
There's a reason the ppcoin price is skyrocketing pump'n'dump! Better buy in now while they are still cheap!

dit kan beter  what to do next? Wat Euro waarde betreft mine ik net zo veel BTC als LTC. Maar, LTC is DE SHIT zoals je op het altcoin forum kan lezen, de toekomst, volledig revolutionair. Vergeet alle bugs, de stilstaande development, de botnets, feit dat er ook asics voor gemaakt kunnen worden etc etc , en dat het eigenlijk niets nieuws toevoegt, gewoon minen en snel verkopen voor dat andere mensen door hebben dat LTC een p&d is. |

Litecoin is broken, time to sell? There was never a time to buy unless you wanted to participate in the pump-n-dump. Better to put your coins in other alternatives that bring something new to the table imho. |

I don't see how Scrypt is going to keep Litecoin safe from the move towards ASIC's if it ever gains serious attention (although i can see no reason why that would happen).
Scrypt requires lots of memory! That's the argument for Scrypt.
If you're somewhat aware about hardware you should know that memory is extremely cheap nowadays compared to raw processing units.
Litecoin will make the same move CPU->GPU->FPGA/ASIC
It's just lagging behind because it started later and doesn't bring anything new to the table.
I'm all for competing (virtual) currencies, and i'm sure the market will sort it all out over time. But all these people trying to hype it and come up with bogus arguments seems really like p&d.
Also i'm a little worried about not seeing any commits in a while, some serious issues in bitcoin have been addressed in the mean time, were they all fixed in litecoin already?

Misschien is het mogelijk 538 te contacteren over het idee, bitcoin in het kort uit te leggen en dat ze dan elke dag even dat adres checken en vermelden wat er op gedoneerd is?
Ze hoeven niet perse de bitcoin-qt client te gebruiken, blockchain.info heeft een hele eenvoudige online wallet.
Ze maken regelmatig reclame over de IT-department van 538, wat er allemaal nodig is om alles te laten draaien etc, dus er is ook vast iemand die in staat is een blockchain.info wallet aan te maken in less-than-a-minute.

De indruk die ik krijg is dat mensen wel nieuwsgierig zijn maar erzelf liever geen 'risico' mee nemen. Op IRC lijkt het er op dat er een handje vol hele grote spelers in NL zit.
