Why the hell did you post this?  Isn't it enough that he and his army of sock puppets post the same shit day after day?

Or, are you just yet another one of his socks?

If you are not one of his puppets prove it by deleting your OP.

Now.

This is why I am moving most of my BTC to either cold storage or my Trezor.  Trezor is not affected by key logging.

FYI:  Bitcoin addresses have a built in "checksum" so if you type any digit incorrectly it will not be accepted as a valid Bitcoin address.  You would have to change and swap the letters and digits in a very non trivial way in order to accidently create another valid address - for all practical purposes it is impossible.  If you do manage to be lucky enough to mistype an address in such a way as to create a different valid address then you are so lucky you should be playing the lotto every chance you get.

I use lastpass and change my passwords regularly to new long randomly generated passwords.  I don't have to remember them lastpass does that for me.  So far, so good.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.  You state "replicate mouse clicks and keyboard entries", so is it safe to say your concern generically is keylogging?

I have followed BCX's "career" here on bitcointalk over the years and I also believe he would make an excellent mod for the alt coin section.

Could you be a bit more specific about your concerns?  Here is an example of what I think you may be talking about:  everyone using the bitcoin-qt wallet stores their bitcoins, actually their private keys, in the file named "wallet.dat".  So a thief, upon finding a computer, only needs to scan for the file "wallet.dat" in order to find the private key file.

What you are suggesting is that the average user should be able to rename the file to something like "bitcoins.dat" and this ability of the customers to customize this (and other things) would somehow increase security?

I agree with the previous poster that in this example what we really need to do is to make sure everyone encrypts their wallet.dat file with a strong password and leave the name alone.  Encryption of the file is the correct answer to security, not being able to rename the file.

Forgive me if I did not fully understand your proposal/concern.

They could remain anon and just send it back to his original address - everyone knows his original address from the transaction.  Getting the money back would not prove/disprove it is Bitfury.

If the owner is reading this they might just do that.

I think the sad truth here is that Bitfury probably does own that address but does not want to admit to it.  If your fee had landed in a block mined by a well know above-the-boards pool then you would probably already have it back.  You were unlucky in that your fee happened to land in a block mined by someone who wants to remain anon.

Please listen to this very good advice.

I considered the OP's question to be hypothetical but now, reading it over again, it looks like this is something they might be thinking about actually doing.

DO NOT DO THIS for the reasons stated above.  It can be done but a) you really have to know what you are doing and b) it cannot be done with the bitcoin-qt wallet.

I see you are new here so I will be nice.  The standard way to make a post is:

1) Read the question
2) Answer the question if you know the answer

What you did was:

1) Skip the question
2) Write some random stuff unrelated to the question

Watch this:

Balances are not kept in your wallet.dat.  The wallet balance is actually caclulated from the blockchain.  What is actually in your wallet.dat is just your private keys.  So, to answer your question, if you have multiple wallets that have the same set of private keys (the same wallet.dat file) then the balances in all of those wallets will be the same and will be kept in sync as each wallet calculates the balance from the set of private keys held in the wallet.dat file.

If you have any more questions just let me know.

Some web sites have already started using bits as an option for displaying bitcoin values.

Not quite.

The idea is that when we use bits for prices the prices will have this familiar format:  1,234.56 bits

The partial part of the bits (the 0.56 part) is in satoshis so in the future bits will be analogous to the "dollars" part and the fractional part, the satoshis, will have the value of "cents". 

People would eventually say something like "That will be one thousand two hundred thirty-four bits and fifty-six satoshis."

Obviously, nobody would be excited about this product at all if this was the case.

This may not be the largest fee ever sent but it was $23,638 at the time of the transaction and is $117,712 in today's BTC:

Wow, I find it hard to believe that you have 227 posts and nobody has ever edited your post in order to answer part of it, like this.

You are new so I will tell you this is standard operating proceedure around here - nothing to get upset about.  I almost always cut down the post to just the part I am responding to, like this.

They already do this.

A few years ago I lost over 10000 BTC to a scammer.  If anyone would like to send a few hundred my way I would really appreciate it.  If only 100 people each send me 100 BTC it would be made whole.  Thanks!

Edit: that may be asking for too much, how about 1000 people each send me 10 BTC...

Generally, creating a private key from a passphrase is a very bad idea.  Private keys should be created from a cryptographically secure random number generator.

Most wallets will calculate the proper fee for you.  What wallet are you using that you have to enter it manually?
