I just generally support modularity. Trezor should have its own host program to connect it to bitcoin qt instead of bitcoin qt directly including the Trezor specific logic in its own code.

+1

I also believe Bitcoin should remain vendor-neutral, are the devs in any way affiliated with Trezor?

What happens when other companies start offering similar products, are the bitcoin devs also going to include support for them in the official bitcoin client?

What happens when by a string of back luck some design flaw in Trezor causes or contributes to the loss of someone's bitcoins?

If think there should at least be a Bitcoin-Qt client to download without Trezor-related or other products' code, or if the extra Trezor-supporting code was released as a separate plugin/add-on/whatever.

im not going to spam everyone with PM's

I just think "there's approximately 3BTC in value on the account" should be enough for prospective buyers and the very specific amount of 3.xxxxxxxx (I intentionally wrote it this way in case you decide to edit your post) is something that may help bitstamp employees identify your account should they stumble upon this thread.

But do as you wish, I won't spam here anymore Wink

It's sad to see more exchanges getting bureaucratized...

Even Mt.Gox lets people deposit and withdraw bitcoins without supplying any personal information.

420, I think you shouldn't be telling us how many BTC exactly you have got deposited on bitstamp, if they find this thread they may be able to identify your account (your offer is against their ToS).

out of curiosity, how exactly did he come up with the number 6.23? Seems super random.

No idea. You may try sending him a letter once he's in prison.  Tongue
3027  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How did SilkRoad actually work? on: October 07, 2013, 08:02:39 PM
Sellers had to pay a 6.23% commission on every sale but this was later changed:
http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1i0r8l/dead_pirate_roberts_addresses_commission_increases/

I know they charged for Seller accounts, about $100 I think (may have varied), as a way to filter for serious sellers.

$500 at least IIRC

They used to be free before though.

Also, a variety of studies say that up to 70 percent of all child abuse and neglect cases are caused by parents who are involved with drugs.

Which studies? How were they conducted?

"up to 70 percent" leaves a lot of room of manipulation

Haha. Well shipping to Europe would only double the price.  Roll Eyes

Yeah... unfortunately no one's selling any bikes for BTC where I live   Sad

What bike do you currently have?
(That's the kind of driving a normally do, about 20 miles each way on the highway to and from work. Then on good weekends, when I'm not busy, I can hit some of the twisty country roads a little further northwest of me)

You mean you've taken this opportunity to force ads on all of us(which are disabled by the actual SMF default theme) by defaulting to your custom theme.

Once you become a Hero Member in two weeks max, you'll be able to disable the ads in the profile settings.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=23737;sa=forumProfile
and scroll down to "Disable ads".

I personally have them enabled, compared with other websites' solutions the ones here are rather unintrusive.

By keeping them disabled you also miss some of the interesting quotes:

I would consider buying it if you were located in Central Europe Wink

Got one bike already but need something that's more suitable for normal roads/highways.

Anyway, if you actually do this, you're ruining your life. You're wasting a chance to get 100x what you want right now for your head space, because many people would pay good money to LOL at you tattooing a dick on your forehead...not a bitcoin symbol.

If greyhawk and Vantixis are long on BTC it is in their best interests to promote Bitcoin. IMHO a dick tattoo on a forehead would work better for someone in the porn industry.

I think it's too early to speculate but a lot more was at stake. If the blackmailer had released compromising information about SR users this could result in a lot more broken families.
It seems to me that as a libertarian, DPR was acting within the non-agression principle.

No way. Seriously, that should be a no brainer. Blackmailing isn't an aggression, so no use of force against a blackmailer is acceptable. Just study ethics before saying such things. Here, start with Walter Block: https://mises.org/daily/4576

If after the revelation of such secrets, bad things happen, that's not the direct action of the blackmailer, but of those who took the bad actions (the government, in this case). The blackmailer isn't violating anybody's rights. You have no "right to keep secrets". Having a "right to keep secrets" implies in having the "right to censor", by the way.

Thanks, you may have a point, I'll have a read of that link.

3034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SilkRoad domain Seized? on: October 02, 2013, 08:22:12 PM
wow.. he's against hitmen?  What a hypocrite piece of shit..
Indeed.
That's assuming the government's story is on the up and up, an assumption that can no longer be made from the outset.
No I was agreeing with calling those that are against using the hitman a hypocrite. I would if someone blackmailed me and I thought I would get away with it. You guys would not? Seriously Huh
The blackmail was about nothing more than MONEY.  Once you hire a hitman, it's about someone's LIFE, and is considered a whole new level.  It's hard not to sympathize with a man with 3 kids, do you think they deserve to see their daddy murdered just because he tried to blackmail someone?

3035  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your biggest bitcoin related regrets/mistakes? on: October 01, 2013, 10:02:42 PM
Regrets:
Selling most of the BTC that I mined in 2011 and 2012.
Trusting Andrew "shakaru" Nollan too much (he still owes me $200).
Some BTC<->fiat trading decisions.

With all the other scams and hacks I was actually quite lucky, I don't trust others easily and I often wait some time (days, weeks or months) before trying new services or otherwise parting with my BTC. And very often just when I am almost ready to send some money a service/exchange/security turns out to be a fraud/gets hacked/aliens attack/whatever.

EDIT:

My reply in a similar thread:

Selling and buying Bitcoins too often at the wrong price.

Buying a 6 month mining contract from a guy who ran away with the money (didn't recover everything).

Trusting Mt.Gox is a reliable company.

The article had nothing to do with bitcoin billionaires.

In fact, with a market cap of 1.5 billion, does such a thing even exist yet?

Maybe what they meant was...

1 billion INR = 16 million USD

3040  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Someone hacked my wallet. on: September 28, 2013, 04:01:46 PM
Like you should lock your car when leave it to go for shopping you should also secure your wallet. You're used to having to lock your car and not complain that you have to "accommodate the system" or are you leaving the windows open and expecting the car to think for you?  
Start a new wallet on a different and secure computer and have 2FA enabled (Google authenticator if you have a smartphone, a Yubikey or via SMS codes). You haven't mentioned it anywhere so I am assuming you weren't using it. Big mistake, especially when you are using an insecure, malware-riddled machine for your financial-related stuff.
Ya like I said it is my fault
Fucking tech guy
I have been buying and selling bitcoin for a year now I still have no idea what a Yubikey is and it took me about 8 months before I knew what was meant by 2FA I love how you guys run around saying that shit it means nothing!
I am a master auto tech. It is like me saying oh your car is messed up and it is your fault you were running an inefficient stoichiometric ratio and now your values are burnt and your catalyst system is destroyed. You should of checked that BIG MISTAKE!
Do you see my point with the tech community it is always you need to alter your behavior not that we have made something that is unacceptable, you are the unacceptable one.

Altering one's own behaviour or way of thinking is necessary in all fields, it's part of the learning process. No one seems to complain (too much) when they are learning to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission and are having problems with driving smoothly. They have to . People who move abroad are not surprised if they have to learn the foreign language if they want to have more opportunities.

You can spend some time to learn about the *basics* of IT security and about keeping your bitcoin money secure or you can keep getting hacked.

You don't have to use a Yubikey — I myself am not using one. You can use your phone and receive SMS messages as an additional measure of authentication while logging in. If for some reason your number/network/country doesn't work with blockchain.info, use google authenticator (your phone must be a smartphone for that though).
