One bit of entropy is not much different from zero bits, unfortunately.

Kill all the keylogger processes? Turn off the keylogger? Really, a keylogger could steal your bank password as well, so turn those things off.

Um, no, you can't ban uses of any term in day-to-day use. That's like saying you aren't allowed to say "Microsoft" or "Wal-mart" because those are trademarked. Let them trademark it, it's just them wasting money.

I think SolidCoin already has built-in encrypted wallets. Maybe accessible deterministic wallets, automatic encrypted backups, modulization, and that kind of stuff.

The issue is that house fires are just as dangerous as hurricanes if you don't protect yourself from either. If you hate crashes and the possibilty of disastors, get something with intrisic value, like water, and use that as a medium of exchange. Impossible? Live with the risk then, there is no practical 100% safe investment.

Then buy now so you can sell these rare relics of digital history for thousands each!

Before anyone chimes in with a "easier to double spend due to lower difficulty" argument, I'd like to restate that the shorter block time disadvantages the attacker. With bitcoin, they have more time to produce their blocks because the rest of the network is also on the higher difficulty. The network latency is the only real issue with this, causing more chain splits (with those come easier double spending, but require precise timing).

So therefore I'm not "most people"? Whenever I see "$", am I wrong to assume CAD or AUD or any of the bajillions of other countries with a dollar? If anything, the $ sign is closest to a universal sign of currency.

This is impossible because of the bitcoin design, as already explained. Each address has its own history of transactions, which are its coins. Transferring coins to a new address rebundles them into a new coin, which will make the transaction visible.

It may be possible to set up a system like this:

Computer A holds the wallet.dat with the address to send from
Computer B is mining bitcoins solo
Create a transaction of 1 SAT to a non-existant address, send the rest as fee without broadcasting to network yet
Configure computer B to add a transaction from the address in computer A, but not broadcast to the network
Once computer B mines a block, withhold the block and broadcast transaction
Release the block and put Computer B back to normal solo mining
The coins are now in a block subsidy

This is, however, extremely cumbersome and has a risk of theft.

Rally failed, huh. Think long-term though: we're still recovering from arguably the biggest drop in modern bitcoin history (price halved in two weeks) just a while ago, and consider that the 20-week moving average has never gone down in bitcoin history. There will be very strong support at $9.90 and might go up a while before two scenarios might happen: a steady dip through autumn in the northern hemisphere, or a strong rally that might last some while.

Moving the decimal point will cause so much confusion it isn't worth it. Using decimal places makes more sense than byte-tesla-columbs, especially if Js/m^2 needs to be multiplied by bytes for some reason. SI prefixes are confusing to the average person. Don't bother doing any units, price things in 0.0003 coins, 0.000004 coins, or even in some other name unlike coins. Just quit the units.

Gambling is not profitable at all. People haven't stopped that, last time I checked.

(Just a minor nitpick: please, please don't use the baht symbol for BTC. It's really not understandable why people detest using 1$ as 1BTC but not detest 1฿)
Site looks really cool right now. I would really like a feature to freeze the scrolling thing: that way I can actually read the text without hacking the page. Like maybe if your mouse is hovering over the marquee it stops.

"Less profitable" does not mean people will stop. Look at the miners, for example.

The weekend dip is back it seems. But this time the bid side is big enough to keep it above $11, maybe. It's easier to get bitcoins in than USD right now, which is why it's going down.

Anyone think fall and winter in the northern hemisphere will cause a rally? I certainly do.

I'm not from England, sorry. I use trillions = 10^12, not 10^18. (and your trillions is incorrect, BTW)

uint64, yes. 2^64-1 to be precise (since it's basically 11111....11111).

21 million = 21 trillion eurocoins since the decimal point is shifted 6 squares, which will be reached in 240 million years, after that when someone can break it if he controls most of the money. Much later, in 2.1 trillion years, the entire system will cease to function.

It's a newer version of bitcoin (0.3.25 rather than .24) that's still under development. So it won't be as stable as bitcoin, but you get wallet encryption.

Not actually true. The code assumes 21 million in many places, not literally that I know of, but this limitation plagued IxCoin in that it would crash in 2015. A second limitation is bitcoin networking can only handle 64-bit integers, so this idea would break in 2.1 trillion years. Wishful thinking, I know .
