Use a Chromebook. A PC is unsafe. Just kidding a bit, but maybe in the future a new kind of network security is needed.

IPv6 can be spoofed, just the same as IPv4 can be spoofed.  There's nothing stopping anyone with a computer from sending out a packet that says "hi, I'm from IP 123.456.789.123" (I know IPv6 is different format, but you get the point).

The personal ID system would have to be controlled by a centralized authority I guess. Unless someone comes up with a clever solution for decentralizing that! Remember, Bitcoin changed the way people believed what was possible. New information technology inventions can do that again.

Any leader that ignores the majority of voices of the group , will not be leader for long.
This is not said to hurt your feelings, but could be the result of your Future actions.

The "we" in this case is everybody. Since the personal IDs are public for everyone. Not just something the NSA could track.

But how is Bitcoin going to compete with new cryptocurrencies that will use personal IDs? Bitcoin would be relegated a shady underground currency for drug dealers and pimps, ha.

Well that's not exactly how it works, but:

All online systems lack security by the very fact that they are online.
Even a biometric system doesn't solve this, because if
the system is compromised, it can simply be routed around.

That's why cold storage is the critical solution for savings.

Whatever wallet you choose, you should be keeping
your coins offline except what you need for spending
in the short term.

It's a huge problem to solve sure, yet many technologies are progressing exponentially so we may have a solution much sooner than that.

But what about the security? If someone would hack into a smartphone the 12 words could be stolen. Or does the person enter all 12 words for every payment? Imagine paying for a Big Mac and having to manually type in 12 words.

Edit. Also a good idea to have different level of security: 1. Hotwallet (not too secure, only for small amounts, but easy to access). 2. Cold storage on dedicated device (for medium term storage, middle sized amounts). 3. Paper wallets or heavy encrypted private keys (long term storage, your retirement savings).

Biometrics and things like that are probably needed. So I admit that it's a tricky and big problem to solve.

A presumptuous one you are.
When the prior developer handed the community to me I owned a whopping 2 Million Mint from 4 Million that the original developer paid me for my services (of which I donated 2 Million to contests and bounties to keep production going).

Since then I have acquired 10 Million Mint between my mining and personal investments because I believe we have recruited a winning team and this coin will go far.

A major part of Public relations is understanding your audience AND targeted audience.

As of today  I am just shy of 10 Million Mintcoins of which I plan on donating an equal sum of USD for promotions of campaigns we are currently working on.

As I mentioned the first thing I would complete is a business strategy for growing our community.

A business plan (if done properly) requires a SWOT analysis broken down into actionable segmentation. 
SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats.

Every step of the business plan I have opted to engage the entire community and be 100% transparent in my efforts.

This stimulates needed conversation between both investors and community.

I am surveying the targeted audience to determine appropriate direction, perception and voice of the community to create a singular actionable business plan needed to ensure the entire community is on the same page.

There will be negotiations along the way and there will be controversial conversations. I am doing my absolute best to allow all sides of the coin shine through and give the community an opportunity to vote on what they believe in efforts of allowing everyone to have a voice.

If you need to put a "number" on me dumping on the coin... I get paid $22 per hour freelancing via oDesk and donate approximately 20 hours per week as well as hosting and domain names when needed to growing this community.

Why?

Because I want to make this my full time career some day.

I love what I do for this community. I love crypto currency. I love online marketing.

P.S Please...
No more name calling. No more negativity. This is supposed to be a civilized conversation with the common interest of growing a community that supports Mintcoin values of connecting and helping our worldwide friends in preserving the earth.

That's way too old tech for me. I don't even want to back up my computer files locally! I want it all on the cloud. At the same time other people may want to handle their own security and privacy. So both options should be available for Bitcoin.

I don't know if a personal ID could be added to the Bitcoin protocol. It would be powerful if both personal IDs and ordinary Bitcoin addresses could be used. I would then store most if not all of my bitcoins (if I had any) with my personal ID so that they would be secure automatically. Another person may want to do the opposite and store most of his or her bitcoins with Bitcoin addresses and only a few if any bitcoins with the personal ID. That allows maximum personal freedom and flexibility.

i laugh at these idea's

YOU DO HAVE AN ID

its called the private key. keep it safe. and away from a PC or third party until you need it.

any other form of ID can be used or abused the same way a privkey can.

EG if its too short, purely to remember it. then hackers could easily guess it sing rainbow/brute force.
EG if its saved on your computer, a trojan can get to your ID
EG if you entrust it to a online service to make it convenient, you have to trust them
EG if its too long to remember so its stored securely on paper or offline, atleast its not on your PC

so ID or privkey are both the same thing and will both require the same precautions

what i prefer to see is a offline service tool (hardware wallet) that forms the signed transaction. and you via QR code push the transaction to a computer, cashiers desk, online service. thus keeping your private key safe and offline.

One side of Bitcoin is the powerful, decentralized peer-to-peer authority-free part. The other side is the hassle and burden for people to manage the cumbersome storage of their bitcoins or trust some authority to secure their bitcoins. That latter part truly sucks. It's like going back a century when people had to store cash under the mattress or go to a bank with their money.

Something needs to be done to solve this problem. What is needed is for the bitcoins to be automatically secure. For example by introducing a personal ID system so that the bitcoins on the block chain are uniquely identified that way and thereby effortlessly and trustlessly secure.

People want to know what value is in the Mintcoin currently

Currently you have to buy MintCoins to be able to mine more Mintcoins
So when you buy mintcoins you are getting the Miner with it.
A Miner that earns the same Rate all year without increasing costs, can't say that for POW coins.

That is the Value POS coins have over POW Coins, where new hardware decreases the value on the hardware just purchased by a Large factor making it unprofitable to mine within a few months and never getting your investment back.

With the Scrypt Miners the Crypto community is starting to realize that and will be switching to POS in DROVES. When this happens our POS will shoot off like a rocket. But if the Interest is dropped to 1.5% then I can get an investment in the physical world that beats that hands down or go with other Coins like Hyperstake, & Noblecoin.

Be Patient, your rush will cause more harm than good.

 

I think all we bitcoiners must become more aware of the dangers of USB, after reading this article:

Also, price is finally over the 4 satoshi sell wall.
