Actually I never thought about Switzerland they would be a awesome country to start a business up because of their banking advantages.
Yeah it's a good idea, however I noticed that the OP said EU (Switzerland is not fully part of the EU). Additionally things have changed a lot in Switzerland in relation to off-shore bank accounts. It's not as good as it used to be. |

That sort of depends on what the business is.
If its a gambling business then Ireland is a good place, SatoshiDice have a setup there - they are lax on gambling regulations.
If its something privacy focused you may want to go for Belgium for the strong privacy laws. Netherlands also has tax-advantages (lack of capital gains tax).
If you're worried about banking issues, why not go for Slovenia, Bitstamp have no problems operating from there. Or maybe Switzerland although they have complicated relations with the EU.
Talk to a lawyer, they can advise you best.

I will happily take feedback on how this should be adjusted so that we can meet our goals without compromising the privacy of the users.
Here's a suggestion: randomly generate a 32-bit unique identifier, store it in the Armory config files, and report that. It's not perfect, since someone with multiple folders will be counted multiple times, but it's pretty good. Or just don't use an identifier at all and only send the stats once and keep track of whether they have been sent or not somewhere in the data directory. In the case of an update include the last version that it was updated from so that you guys can adjust your stats. There is very little reason to need to have a unique identifer for each install. No other wallet does this that I know of. |

I agree that the altcoin section needs more active modification. And I also agree that BCX could be good at this. But BCX, I hope you realise that if you want to become a mod it should be the end of your controversial actions. Here is you earlier this year threatening to kill redcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=435921.0He should also disclose all of the accounts he uses on this forum too, along with all websites he owns - to make sure he doesn't try to give himself an unfair advantage by (for example) heavily moderating competitors and not himself. |

lol before posting an article here better check its sources first...  where are the links to mentioned wikileaks documents? Those? they are on the official wikileaks website - w1k1-l3aks.freewebs.org.ru (they don't exist. The author of that article is really confused as to how bitcoin works. He will probably fake them, the guy even faked his doctorate.) |

yes but still my question is
if it is a fact that the Government runs the Show with Bitcoin, would you get out of it or not??
The internet was originally developed by the US government for military purposes. Better stop using it. Bitcoin is open source, even if they did create it they wouldn't be able to do anything bad to it. It's a mute point though because there is nothing to suggest that they did. Al Qaeda could've made it, you could've made it ANYONE could've made it, even lizard people who live under the surface of the earth. All are equally as plausible as a government creating it. |

I am also a fed. That guy is wrong. Bitcoin was actually created by lizard people. Once it destroys the worlds economy they will come out from under the surface of the earth and enslave us all. Trust me I know because I work for the CIA, NSA, FBI, mtgox and the Bilderberg Group. Also Zhou Tong knows it too because they are the ones who hacked Bitcoinica, green little leet motherfuckers they are. (Don't believe anything you read on the internet unless they have proof and evidence. Words on a website mean nothing. Snowden didn't have words, he had proof.) |

ibtimes.co.uk is a fake website made by a guy named Sol Adoni who has a ton of fake accounts on this forum that he uses to plug his websites. One of them, ibitunes, is allegedly a scam too. He's trying to sell his ebook about bitcoin being a CIA project. More info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=727145.0That website is fake, everytime you link to it your helping him spread his FUD. He's been banned from warriorforum (a webmaster forum) for doing similar FUD campaigns with fake accounts and websites. |

Any hacker can get access to a proxy on an infected machine in your country.
It won't change anything, they will just change their tactics.

Yes you can post from whatever IP you like, it's the signup IP that matters.

Why exactly would you need to bypass proxies to "measure our userbase"?
You're misunderstanding that. Try to configure Armory to use a proxy: you can't. It isn't that Amory doesn't use the configured proxy rather that Armory doesn't have the ability to configure one as the only connection it makes to the internet are these pings (as far as I know).
Armory uses bitcoind as a backend. Bitcoind connects to the bitcoin network via the proxy it is configured to connect to. This is how people use Tor with Armory, you configure bitcoind (not Armory) to use Tor. Most of the people who do this likely have no idea that Armory is connecting to the internet at all nevermind outside of Tor. I assumed that I had to press "Check for updates" for it to dial home. This is obviously bad for many reasons. A lot of people use bitcoind over Tor to hide the fact they are a bitcoin user from their ISP. The ISP can see these regular pings to bitcoinarmory.com every 30 minutes and figure out they are likely a bitcoin user.
It should be possible to disable the announcement pings in the GUI, maybe have a big scary popup appear when the user tries to disable them that lets the user know that they should manually press "check for updates" and periodically check the website for updates.

You have no feedback and it appears you have conducted no trades here.
do you have any collateral? if not, then why did you think people would loan to you?

I'm really glad this was found and the response from the Armory dev was very reassuring after my inital panic. Thank you for all your hard work etotheipi!

But most problematic though is (as was reported above) that these requests are not going through the configured Proxy. If that is really so, then Armory users are quickly and easily identified by their ISP, which can be very problematic in some countries.

For his behavior, I doubt, he doesn't even check if people paid or not. Also he could charge more for them, like start with 50% bid and end around 30%.
All of that seems to indicate he's getting them for free or extremely cheap. I wonder how... |

I am also interested but I'd need to be sure there is no way you can regain access to the email account before I can place a bid.
Is it registered to your name/details?
Can you change the recovery questions and recovery email addresses?

Hey mate, you need to complete or repeat primary school second grade level. You need to learn that there are many ways to hack a server. Perhaps BCX was asking if OP wanted us to hack the mail daemon, the http server or maybe to look for something like XSS or file inclusion vulns. Or maybe he was asking for the details of the server such as the IP. "Our primary server" doesn't tell us exactly what he wants us to hack. |

Utter nonsense.
If you wanted a unique anonymous ID you would have generated a few random bytes and used that. Instead you used a highly identifying, personal piece of information and sent it to your remote server along with the IP address of the user. There's no way you can pretend that was a mistake from somebody who is writing wallet software.
Why don't you do us a favor and delete all the information you've collected without your users consent.
I agree. On the website, they have a privacy policy that states this: ATI may collect your device’s IP address: when you start the software on your device and the software checks for updates and notifications, unless you opt out of this feature.
ATI does not share this information outside of ATI except that ATI may share information with governmental authorities pursuant to a court order or other lawful order.
However I don't recall being forced to agree to this when I ran the software, though from looking at the source it appears to be in the help menu at least. |

I'd be worried that they might be carded (obtained fraudulently). If they are you'll all have a big problem with steam in about 2-3 months...
BiPolarBob how do you get these credits?
