useless! trojans cloud scan the whole computer for the wallet.
this is just security through obscurity, and will NOT WORK.

when seeders get profit from sharing files, they will very angry.
seeding should be non-profit. the btc should go to the movie industry as a optional donation.
it is ethical wrong that someone else is gaining profit, for other peoples work.
i have no problem with non-profit file sharing. i seed my self. (not much 70kb/s)

and its the wrong forum, find some pirate forum next time.
It's pointless to try and kill a discussion about something controversial like filesharing. go spread the bitcoin to the pirate forums! im a sharer too:D |

So this is not the right forum to propose software projects relating to bitcoin?
i think it should be in a pirate forum, i does self pirate alot. what you are talking about is using bitcoin as a normal currency, which i am very happy about. but my opinion about what should and should not be on this forum is: things that are bitcoin related: clients, experimental-exchanges, e-wallets, blockexplore, and that kind of stuff. and not what uses bitcoin as a normal currency, you should go out to other forum and bring bitcoin to them. spread the coins, do not keep them in this forum. |

BAD IDEA! file sharing is only ethical as long seeders does not profit from it. /opinion
better idea: make btc donations, to movies you like, and give it to the media industry.
then you can argue that the media industry profit from file sharing, and it is un-ethical of them suing file shares.
and its the wrong forum, find some pirate forum next time.

Thanks for the answers!

bitcoins are not anonymous. sorry. every 'coin' is tracked in the blockchain.
They are a little bit anonymous. Think of the blockchain as like footprints. If I had a way of seeing every footprint on the street, would it matter? No, because I couldn't link any particular footprint with a real person. However, I could follow the footprints... if I then found a shop were those footprints had been, and I had the full power of the law behind me, I could look at the security camera footage and link the footprint to an individual. If the footprint owner had been careful and made sure every time they went anywhere they always walked through a stream on their way to the next place; then I wouldn't learn very much. Bitcoins are the same. They themselves are anonymous; it's all the places that you might use them that aren't. Streams are available in the form of mixing services; and you can use them as you see fit. "Bitcoins are not anonymous" is wrong. There is no place in the bitcoin system or protocol to write my name, address, or social security number. It's not bitcoins that are not anonymous, it's the rest of the world. then its called pseudonymity, instead of anonymity. it requires only one link between the real you and the pseudonym, to say its you. and that link exists, its called mtgox. |

People buy PCs and laptops with Windows preinstalled because almost all PCs and laptops come with Windows preinstalled. It's as simple as that. Most people don't have the technical knowledge to attempt to install a different operating system than what came by default.
I disagree. The problem is not that people don't have the technical knowledge required, but that they THINK they don't have the technical knowledge required. Honestly, installing something like OpenSuSE is just as point-and-click as installing any emoticons-and-cursors malware-ridden toolbar (yes, I'm looking at you, SmileyCentral and CometCursor) you can find for Windows. The issue is that people never do it, and thus assume it must be something complicated, as none of their peers did it either, so it must be something out of their knowledge field. Which is just plain untrue. Most users are simply afraid to do things with a computer, afraid to break it or otherwise mess it up. +1 |

Broken , or "under maintenance" ...I don't like this
bitcoinwatch, does few times a day. mtgox and bitmarket, is likely just getting stormed by their users. |

I hope this is not hijacking this thread. On a related subject matter, after we change address of the wallet, can we still get the btc going to the previous addresses?
NO! they will be gone forever! MUHAHHAHAHAHAH! all the addresses are stored in the wallet, yes you can stil use your bitcoins |

This strikes me as a little FUDdy.
Windows has huge security holes. Being closed source, only MS can vet it. So yes, It's not as safe as Linux.
But a pre-installed trojan? Might be a bit much, don't you think?
a little bit, maybe. but microsoft can control any windows computer. im not saying they do it, but they can. It seems to me that once Microsoft activates their hidden trojans and starts to spy on ordinary users, the financial loss from future windows sales would be a lot more then what they can get out of people. and your point is? they haves no motive. BUT THEY CAN. |

yes im talking about windows, i simply can't understand why sooo many people cares so much about their privacy, and still uses windows.
the windows users have no way of knowing what microsoft does to them. i do not say microsoft does this things, im only saying they can do it!
can anyone please explain this for me? im simply incapable of understanding it.
use open source i say!
Microsoft already pulls in billions of dollars with Windows. What possible motivation would they have to install a trojan? Are they going to steal your bank account infoz too? i did not say that. i just said that they can. and there are no reason to trust them. |

I personally can't be bothered with spending my whole weekend trying to get a webcam, scanner, or mobile broadband modem to work under linux, acquiring lots of technical knowledge that is practically worthless because it will be out of date in a few years. I mean, don't you have better stuff to do in your precious free time?
I know that this is not entirely the fault of linux but of the peripherals manufacturers who don't make drivers for linux, but what can I do about that?
Generally, linux sucks for multimedia stuff.
I like to use linux for coding though. But for that I can run it in a VM.
For secure stuff like online banking, I do use a separate linux netbook anyhow.
Why not benefit from the best of both worlds?
You tried to run Gentoo? its likely. gentoo is a good geek distro. but it absolutely not for noobs, or people who does not want to learn. |

I recognize the sarcastic tone, but I couldn't understand your point. Surely you are not saying a federal reserve note is real money, are you? Ultimately, the only real money is something I can eat.
A number at mybitcoin is not a real Bitcoin. The most important thing about a real Bitcoin is that nobody but you knows the private keys. +1 |

I don't know about pre-installed trojans, but I wonder why people would pay 150€ (+license-software) for what they could get free. You trim linux once in to the shape and it's good for years (albeit updating more often is a good idea  ). With M$ you can hardly go three days without having to update. And funny thing is that on default the system tells you what to do, not the other way around. windows is the pre-installed (possible) trojan. i also update often, there are security holes in linux too. but with windows you need to trust microsoft, you don't have any clue about what happens on your computer, because windows is closed source. |
