So you would advise against jailbreaking your phone if you use 2fa?
I wouldn't advise against it because any discovered backdoors in popular jailbreak software will travel like wildfire. Keep in mind that a backdoor in your phone only breaks half of your 2FA, so it's not enough to gain total control of your account. |

I think that story about a guy who got hacked the day after jailbreak his phone, are not because his phone jailbreak. If he got 2 factor authentication, this shouldn't happen even if he jailbreak.
If a hacker put a trojan on his phone, there is no way he can use the Google authenticator. You can't VNC into an iPhone/iPad. If he didn't use 2FA, then maybe there was a keylogger. But keylogger is useless when it comes to 2FA, the hacker can't enter the same code you typed within 60 seconds.
but he can copy the 2FA token stored on the phone, which he use to generate valid google authenticator codes. Also, there are VNC servers on cydia for iOS. |

- We don't know the exact source code. Even though if it's open source, we don't know for sure whether some codes have been left out on purpose to keep us dump - the hashcode was initially created by the NSA (illuminati).
- I know that one of the illuminati's goal is to create a 1 world orde (incl. 1 world currency and a 1 world satanic religion) but how Bitcoin could fit in this picture is still a puzzle - maybe it's just a first step to make us easily accept cryptocurrency and create a false sense of anonymity (as they always do - same concept as bogus freedom). We know that JP Morgan tried to get a patent for an old an similar concept, and together with the Hashcode it is not farfetched to think that it might evolve to a controlled world wide currency.
not sure if serious... |

IP based coins are retarded because most (both home and business) IP addresses are dynamic. It's very easy for one user to reserve all the coins for his ISP's IP range.

So I can drag and drop wallet data files into and out of the USB drive and have no problems?
Also it's not possible for a virus to sneak in if I don't see the file in the USB?
That is correct. The only exception is if the virus planted an exploit in one of the files and you opened it. (extremely unlikely) |

I'm not sure /b/ is a better name for bitcointalk. Wouldn't that confuse people?  let me clarify: >>>/b/ |

[...]I believe that this will provide many benefits. A minor one will be easier importing of transactions into financial and accounting software.
But metadata can already be recorded clientside. it provides the same benefits, without the blockchain bloat, plus room for additional data. An enormous benefit will be the ability to see at extremely precise detail what is being bought and sold globally, which would give even more information to the market as a whole to make decisions on what production and services to increase, and which to exit.
It's hardly "extremely precise" since anyone can attach any label to any transaction. |

You'll still need access to the blockchain, either directly (to a local node) or using a remote API like blockchain.info etc.
A private key will allow you to sign the tx inputs, but you'll still need to get those specific outputs from the blockchain to use as inputs in the transaction you are planning to create and transmit. This can be done quite quickly (milliseconds): For example even the Blockchain Android/IOS app creates tx's using the remote API to the blockchain very quickly (a few seconds).
actually, if you have private keys to all the inputs you're spending, you can do the signing entirely off line. |

I can't see why all the madness around dogecoin, what does it offer new to the community? If it is just because the meme name I'm thinking to start Derpcoin.
people are hopping on because it offers bitcoin/litecoin latecomers to become early adopters. that, and the le me me[/li][/list] name |

The guy clearly doesn't need qt. He said "How do people normally do bitcoin transactions?"
He just wants to do normal transactions, and you point out yourself so vividly all the stresses qt places on a typical system.
Have you ever tried electrum? It places no strain on your system, and is running in 2 minutes ..... and yes, its stable as well.
We want to get normal people using bitcoin and keep recommending they use qt. What gives?
no, we don't. http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet |

that's not proof of stake. the example you provided merely shows a proof of stake coin with inflation. proof of stake can be implemented without inflation.
Can you name one coin that implements proof-of-stake without any form of inflation? I'd say a coin with both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work and without the inflation, would be a very great coin indeed! I am not aware of one that exists. why don't you make one? |

There maybe some specific implementations that operate the way you suggest. But, proof of stake itself does not needs to be any different, inflation/deflation wise, from proof of work.
What about this: "Peercoin is designed so that it will theoretically experience a steady 1% "decentralized" inflation per year (inflation for each user is proportional to the number of coins they have), yielding an unlimited number of coins. This is a combined result of the proof-of-stake minting process, and scaling of mining difficulty with popularity.[1] Although Peercoin technically has a cap of 2 billion coins, it is only for consistency checking, and the cap is unlikely to be reached for the foreseeable future. If the cap were to be reached, it could easily be raised, hence for all practical purposes Peercoin can be considered to have inflation of 1% per year, with a limitless money supply." - Referenced Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peercoin that's not proof of stake. the example you provided merely shows a proof of stake coin with inflation. proof of stake can be implemented without inflation. |

My question is, is there much point in having multiple computers on the same local network all running a wallet?
with the current size of the bitcoin network, there's no need to specifically run a bitcoin node to maintain the network. |
