Honestly, the best 'ewallet' provider is *you*. I don't understand the urge to push this off to a centralized service. Trusting someone else to secure your funds is full of risk, as recent events have shown.

Nice, makes it harder to 'hijack' an account and push coins willy-nilly to a bazillion addresses. That combined with transfer limits should do the trick. Optional two-factor notifications would be nice, much like credit card companies do - sending an alert if your balance falls from 'x' amount.

I think what we are learning here is "Buyer Beware", and doing your own due diligence. You don't do your homework, you'll fail. That goes for anything, really. It is no more detrimental to bitcoin than you losing a pile of cash out of your pocket as you step out of a cab. Things happen, and mistakes are made.

Don't trust new services blindly, take steps to secure your main savings wallet.

Are you talking about options with strikes and expiration months?

Seems point-to-point VPN would be more lightweight if you needed to communicate.

Shouldn't this be locked since there is a dedicated thread to this whole situation stickied above?

Well, this thread has certainly taken an odd turn.

Most people haven't traded a market ever. You can tell from the posts that are full of wild fantasies including market 'manipulation' and 'big sellers' or 'big buyers' holding the ENTIRE market at their mercy. This unfortunate sensationalism doesn't come close to the truth.

Why do prices go down? More sellers than buyers. You can spin tales about how it is all one person at a desk with a thousand levers controlling price and cackling maniacally, but the humdrum truth is plain old market forces.

Same with when it goes up, more buyers than sellers. It amazes me the effort that goes into producing theories and grand backdrops of what amounts to regular market forces.

Curious to see if the IOS version was released, as well.

Threads that are over a month old should be auto-locked. Some necro-bumping seems to be happening lately.

Be sure to keep different wallets, and don't continue to use a compromised computer. Unless you want to end up like some unprepared forum members. There are plenty of threads on this subject, search away!

I'd be interested in daily tabular data. I can mine for it now, but if it were in a format that was easily imported into spreadsheets and charting programs, that would be very useful.

I think SETI is worthwhile. Any attempt to detect intelligence in the universe is useful. Lord knows we're not stockpiling any here, lol.

Any centralized method will have major flaws. There really is no substitute for distributed transaction ledgers. We're unfortunately seeing the results of bad planning and human error when it comes to how some exchanges function. Can't completely engineer that out.

Like the other posters have said, best thing you can do is keep people informed here. Unless you feel a dedicated site is necessary.

The major flaw in making any of this works assumes the coins will be spent or transferred immediately. They could just as easily be 'parked' for quite some time until things cool down.

I'd be interested to see a functioning "Auto-Bounty" type of service. Keep us posted!

Bernanke must be proud of the post-POMO market rout going on right now. Of course, after everyone opens up their 401k statements and have a collective heart attack, I'm sure QE <insert number> will be back on the table.

Monetary insanity...

I've been waiting for people to 'skywrite' using bitcoinmonitor and some cleverly-timed transactions. Only problem is you have to get above the 'noise floor' of 50 BTC for it to really be visible. Perhaps a 10k BTC smiley-face? Why not, you'd just have to transfer it to another wallet you already control.

If anyone sees something like this, please point it out.

Very nice, certainly useful when it comes to the solo-vs-pooled mining arguments. Good job!
