Couldn't node operators steal users private keys?

This probably a scam, i remember a presale for the same network a while ago.

I do not recommend investing in this IPO. All they are doing is raising capital and throwing that money to bitcoin miner manufacturers. Can you already see the flaw in this? They are not manufacturing there own miners! If the manufacturers knew that it would be more profitable to mine their own equipment, wouldn't they be doing it? The real winners are not the people who buy the equipment but the people who make them.

I'm talking about Qubes OS. With Qubes, the "appVm's" all have internet access however not the place where you initialize the apps/vm's, in other words the base vm when you start the OS has no internet access. The networking is done on a seperate VM for better security and gives internet access to the app vm's only. So the bitcoin core client is usable as it does have a connection to the internet.

https://www.qubes-os.org/ check out the website and  try out the live usb if your curious how it works. It is truly the best OS i have ever used.

They can be safer if you have a compromised system.

Third party wallets on the desktop are primarily safer than the core wallet if 2FA is enabled via sms. User does not have to risk losing bitcoins if his/her OS is compromised.

So the problem that needs solving is installing bitcoin core on a non compromised system. One way to do this:

Change your OS to Qubes OS, install bitcoin core on one of the Virtual machines without installing anything else on the vm. QUBES OS works in a way that if any of your other VM's are compromised, they can't infect each other, your base vm where all vm's are initialized from has no network access so it can never be compromised.

For mobiles:
The blackphone 2 does have the os setup similar to QUBES so i'm thinking you could create a separate virtual phone that one day houses only the bitcoin core client. Use an SPV client on it for now.

I found this service from reddit, very glad i found out about it.

Post your ideas and projects here.

Some of my ideas.

Joystream like service
Problem: Poor ratio of seeders to leechers.
Solution: Users use the 21 computer to download torrent files at blistering speeds because they pay seeders micro amounts for their bandwidth. Users do not actually spend any money because the bitcoins they are spending are mined on the backend without them even having to do a thing in terms of purchasing bitcoins and making payments.

Bitube
Problem: Youtubes incentive model is broken.
Solution: Youtube with a new incentive model, instead of advertisments, uploaders get paid satoshis for every second a user watches any of their videos. Lets say 1 satoshi per second. Again the ease of use of this service is present because the user never has to deal with purchasing and wasting money on bitcoins when its already integrated in there computer, enough for watching bitube videos.

Competitive and incentivized  Video Games
Problem: Video games have no reward structure which stretch out to the real world.
Solution: Use 21 computer micro payments to reward and allow people to compete with each other. Think agar.io or chopcoin.io with leaderboard awards without having to gamble anything other than a few mined satoshis which are not payed for.

An idea that someone may want to implement.

A site in which you insert bitcoin and the website then sends you neteller dollers which are spendable using the virtual cards. You can't do this directly from the site and a simple service like this could be very popular. At the moment people send neteller USD to something like pokerstars and then gamble a little and withdraw to neteller account in order to make credit card purchases, its inefficient and can be improved with a dedicated service.

Agreed the MENU system is confusing.

I had the same idea as you. Glad someone implemented this. However the lag is unbearable and i still go back to agar,io everytime. You need to add servers around the globe and improve your server side code. What is your back end stack?

21 bitcoin computer disperses satoshis, this would be perfect for this game. Imagine if you could play and win a decent amount of satoshis without even having to "gamble" your money. I know there is a faucet play ground but its not nearly as sustainable as a node contribution model.

Played another game today, it seems that the lag is less noticeable than the other day when i played, possibly from some of the game updates. Still think, continental servers are beneficial when games have money on the line. Hard to justify costs for the lack of player base, but i believe a necessity.

Believe game has a lot of potential and is part of a greater movement of apps which integrate micro payments, rewards and virtual economies. This app is a prime example and could get very popular with constant updates and improvements.

Bitcoin is already killer in so many ways, why does there always have to be some magical future app that makes bitcoin finally "successful"?

Awesome man, looking forward to it.

I'm not trying to actually "privatly converse with him", its a public forum and people like you read this shit as it gets bumped. Maybe it sparks some thought. 7000 views and only ~20 replies; its not about the direct conversation but about the public reading it.

No one needs to OPEN ANY PORTS!!! Thats the benefit. Imagine if everyone could download the bitcoin core and actually contribute to the netowork without having to do anything! Thats how bitcoin should be. If everyone used ipv6, we would have 50x more connections than we do have at the moment.

Port forwarding is a bitch and there are so many variables that can make port forwarding not work.

I know i can retrieve funds without using the service after 90 DAYS.

If someone is logged in elsewhere why is it that there are others in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521988.140 that are experiancing the same issues as me. Are we all being hacked? That is a reason to freak out for me. Maybe he/she will wait until the 90 days expires and take my money.

BUT! If i login, i should be able to click logout of the other session. WHY IS IT THAT IT DOESN'T LOGOUT OF THE OTHER SESSION THEN?

Yeah i don't think its intentional, i didn't claim that. It's definitely a bug that has been experienced by others. Very frustrating, don't want to be waiting 90 days for nlock time expiration.

Yes i have send 2 emails already over the past 24 hours with no response as of yet.

Yeah if you have a lot of coin never rely on third parties, even if they offer a million security and other fancy features. You are still relying on there servers and infrastructure which can be a house of cards.

Lesson learned.
