Where is the qr-code scanner? Are these even Bitcoin ATMs?
exactly my thought |

As always there are multi user wallets that could be millions not being accounted for users
You mean exchanges, tumblers, Bitpay? But people who use those probably have at least one private address. So the number of addresses can only be higher than the number of owners. Ask Tony Gallippi if his 30000 customers all have wallets. My bet would be the majority don't. |

Number of bitcoin addresses (excluding dust) is still around 500,000 if reddit is to be believed. This has a long way to run yet.
About 1.34 million unless your definition of "dust" is way different than mine (<1m BTC).
Source. As always there are multi user wallets that could be millions not being accounted for users and there are power users with thousands of addresses. I sent to 300 paperwallets that are mostly unspent. So fid others. These numbers are a very bad estimate for the market. Edit: this forum suuuuxxxx on android |

Please add a chart containing the side by side market cap of several (or all) coins on a log scale. I would so much love to see the "typical" life cycle of these crap coins but in the list as is, it is just a snapshot with little context and when they die, they are way down the list.
I would expect to see some dominant bitcoin of course and many coins coming and going with their all time highs long in the past.

Hi Piuk! I have a feature request. Could you please make these symbols in the second row green?  Edit: blockchain.info still is lightyears ahead of greenaddress.it but with nlock time and multisig they proof they go for a certain direction that could obsolete any existing wallet in the blink of an eye. These are the ingredients of micro transaction channels and I would bet they are sooooo close to publishing a working wallet for that and then it's network effect that will get everybody on board. |

Is this a solved problem or can reported location always be spoofed? I know there's a lot of interest in this topic as it relates to cheating in augmented reality games. There's probably a lot of thought, energy, and maybe even FOSS solutions out there... google for (example) "ingress prevent gps spoofing" canton you could certainly share more insight from your own research At least on indigogo you claim you have it sorted out, albeit I doubt it is physically possible to have some open source solution that can not be spoofed by some fake gps signal. |

Uhm, yeah, great, thanx for making that. Could you please unmake it? Problem is when you follow that link, then delete the ?… part from the url and hit enter, you still have that filter applied and there is no obvious way of seeing all coins … ever again just choose "Select Watchlist" then its deselected. I change that wording so it is more clear. It's not like I wouldn't have found that but I would bet a lot that many users will waste time and give up searching it if they got into this situation via a link like yours. |

Would be useful to include an option for DAC [coins *] =Meta | Protocol 2.0 coins, such as MSC; NXT; XCP; PTS and when they appear ETH; NEM See an example of that selection exists at http://dacindex.com/Hi, please log in and use the watchlist. You can define any coin list you like. I made a sample for the DAC list: http://www.crypto-coins-table.com/?wl=lRYfNYuvregards Uhm, yeah, great, thanx for making that. Could you please unmake it? Problem is when you follow that link, then delete the ?… part from the url and hit enter, you still have that filter applied and there is no obvious way of seeing all coins … ever again |

I had compiled some of hilarious Bitcoin Memes, check this out guys; CLICK HERE Uff, I would have said that "CLICK HERE" was the most certain way to make me not click here but well, I did. Meh. "loading post …" is a bit annoying. I'd rather have a compilation with all the good ones in one pure list of img tags. |

They have a whitelist system that only allows people to edit the wiki if they send a small amount of bitcoins to an address.
Which makes it a censored centralized system. The very opposite of what Bitcoin is supposed to be. gnah. Bitcoin is decentralized. Bitcoin Wikis are not. Deal with it. For me it was also hard to accept that LukJr can promote his Tonal crap there but well, if I don't like it, I can start my own wiki and promise better rules. |

But to be more clear: which one for you is better? I might say "yes" to that perhaps one of them is better. But as you wrote ""better" is a complicated thing here as it is not one-dimensional." The network effect is part of a coin. You can't just take the bare repository and assume it's being applied to a tabula raza. If it were like that, I would prefer a coin with proof of work to bootstrap the distribution and proof of stake to avoid wasting energy later, with a 50% / 4 years bootstrap phase like bitcoin. My only concern with bitcoin apart from the wasteful POW which will get changed if ever a bitcoin is valued at a million dollar again is not with the protocol. It is the doubts about who created it. I know people say it doesn't matter but if whoever created it, did so with the intention to crush every competition, amassing 80% of all bitcoins, then yeah, it matters to me who's master's puppet I am here. |

Amazing, how many coins come to life.
is it amazing? this is annoying  Too many coins! New coins most of them 1satoshi this is not worth developing Bitcoin was a prototype and I'm sure one of the alt-coins is better [1] than Bitcoin but to overcome the massive network effect of Bitcoin it would have to be 10 times better, not just some 2 times. And with every shop that accepts bitcoin the required improvement has to be even bigger to overtake Bitcoin. That is why for now I have only Bitcoin. [1] "better" is a complicated thing here as it is not one-dimensional. |

This thread should be unpinned if it cannot be maintained adequately.
Asked that in Meta. A pinned post is an "official" one and as it is just one among many such lists now, it doesn't deserve to judge which coins are major or minor imho. |

If you put an unencrypted bitcoin wallet on a VPS you are begging for an employee or exploit of the hosting company to fleece you. Learn from Linode.
I'm not worried about my unencrypted wallets on their server. I'm worried about my encrypted wallets on my client. With this Java applet to access the management console they have read access to the file system the browser runs on and that is why I made sure to let that be a virtual machine. (I'm not sure how security models changed but like 15 years ago I made a java applet and was *shocked* that all it took was a self-signed applet to access the full disk of whoever used my applet. Flash asks for permissions. Java apparently not. How can that be?) I don't use their java ssh console to access my machine. With DO here's the steps i take 1) login to their website (with ssl of course) 2) create virtual machine 3) Password and IP is emailed to me, i then login with SSH 4) update your OS, enable firewall, change ssh port, disable password logins, and then do whatever it is you need to do. As others mention, any VPS or shared hosting environment is no good from a security standpoint. I just use OSX's built in terminal to ssh to my VPS's though, I don't -ever- use their java ssh console. This only works as long as the machine boots and starts sshd but what if not? This "what if not" happened 4 times in the first week I was with them. On my other servers I go to the web console and click on recovery boot and can ssh into the recovery console but with them this is only possible with a java applet. |

I was at a similar spot as OP once. At times I was 110% in bitcoin. That doesn't mean I (or he) didn't have cash in these moments. It means having fiat debts exeeding the cash in the pocket while having btc.

I see no issue in using the signed version from github. If you don't trust your pc, boot from a live-linux that is not made for bitcoiners. If somebody tries to push you to run his software to do your bitcoin thing, it is a red flag no matter if you are god himself (on the internet we can't know).
As always, you can't be paranoid enough and noobs will get burned with this and the CDs and basically with anything bitcoin if not guided by some bitcoin savvy person.

hmmm,
So if one doesn't want to drink their koolaid then what are the alternatives?
1. Use/promote an altcoin. Nxt? Etherium? or 1000 other alts?
2. Create a non bitcoin foundation client and convince the majority of miners to accept. (take back bitcoin movement)
Can bitcoin be saved? or has the brand bitcoin been forever tainted and coerced? Has Gavin accepted the decentralized bitcoin jesus spirit into his heart?
I think personally that the wink twins are right about the $400 billion ish crypto market cap but I'm feeling that that number will be a total of all of the different crypto coins. One of them will eventually overtake bitcoin by offering such revolutionary ideas as decentralized, no transaction fees, and gasp, anonymousness.
The relation between the Bitcoin scamfoundation and Bitcoin is roughly the relation between the Westboro Baptist Church and email. Bitcoin is and will continue to be fine. Alt coins are and will remain a play thing. These are decided by the people who matter, and the people who matter aren't either the derps vying for the spotlight "doing" altcoins nor the derps vying for the spotlight "doing" foundations, conferences, articles and assorted bullshit. Get your hierarchy straight. Ok, just so I can understand your points. You are saying the bitcoin foundation is a scam and bitcoin will have no problem thriving without them. However, it seems to me we are stuck with them and their decisions at this point. Do we as a community not need gavin? If the bitcoin foundation is scammy then are they already to powerful? What if anything can be done? Is there any course of action or should we just file this info as interesting and go about our business and check back in a few years. Just curious? The so called Bitcoin Foundation gives Gavin money but I doubt he would destroy bitcoin for money. For me the most important thing here is that people stop giving the Bitcoin Foundation more money. There is absolutely no need for a good Bitcoin Foundation to hoard the money "for us". If they do the right thing, we will give them our money at the right time, not upfront. If you hate the foundation you shouldn't want Winklevii etc. on the board but the foundation thrown into the dustbin of history.  If they are scammers: To the dustbin of history with them but not with the money they scammed out of people. |
