One thing to keep in mind: when enabling Tor and "More Private" sources, syncing the wallet takes a lot longer and consumes quite a bit of data. After playing with it's settings a bit, the one thing I really dislike is asking for my PIN when I open the app. I'd like to only enter the PIN when I make a transaction. I guess I'll go without PIN, I only use shitcoins for very small quick payments.
The other issue with unstoppable is that there are a lot of shit coins that are very popular that it does not (or at least did not) support. How can any multicoin wallet not have doge? Yes it's a joke as a coin, but it's popular and used. It does on the other hand support many centralized coins. There's nothing "unstoppable" about that.

I want to comment on 1miau suggestion of 5 DT1s having the possibility to cancel out certain feedback by effectively moving it to the untrusted category. I think 5 DT1s is a small number. I would support a majority vote in this case. I don't know how many DT1s we have, but I would want at least 80% if not 90% of DT1s voting in favor of removing a certain feedback. There are 100 DT1 members, and I don't think there's ever been a majority vote from them on anything. Why? Because there shouldn't be a possibility that my 5 closest DT1 buddies can collude and remove feedback I don't want to see on my profile. But even if that happens for this DT1 cycle, what's going to happen with next month's change and reorganization of the DT1 list? Will there be new votes or is the decision made final? Maybe the "downvoting" can work both ways: give other DT1-members the power to "upvote" the removed feedback. And while typing this I realize this will just make everything way too complicated.

I had a bunch of old paper receipts that faded in just few years Those are printed on thermal paper, and indeed you have to copy them if you want to be able to claim product warranty 10 years later. But other than Piper Wallet, normal users won't use that for their seed backup.

Here is an idea. What if we completely remove the negative trust (making it neutral) and use only flags for trust issues and trade risk? Flags don't apply to most of the users who I gave negative feedback. Take this guy for example.

I want to develop a mobile application I want to create a team of experienced developers It sounds like you have "an idea", one that many others had before you, and now you're looking for the skills you don't have to start this project. If that's the case, why would those "experienced developers" need you, and what's in it for you? You've made 12 posts, that doesn't sound like you're very dedicated to Bitcointalk.

Is it possible, at some point in the future, for us to respond with posts in threads through this Telegram BOT? This has been asked many times. Even if you'd be willing to give your account credentials to the bot, you still risk posting something that has been said before (like you did in this post!) because you didn't read the other posts in the topic (again: take the hint!). So I guess it would be great for you, but terrible for the rest of the forum.

So many people laminate important documents to preserve it, but it is not really advisable to do so and some institutions that i know of in my country now warn against lamination of important certificates or results. The heat and adhesives used in the process of lamination can destroy what's written on the paper, and i believe that's what happened in your situation. Other than thermal paper, I've laminated many things including toner, ink and drawings made by many kinds of pens, markers and pencils. The only thing that caused problems was if there's wet glue in there, other than that everything is in good condition. I really wonder what conditions you must have to destroy written paper in normal use.

Update:New Trust lists created in the past week:

Which is why i've said many times that we need a reputation trust system and a trade trust system. At least if we had 2 different systems we would have more things to complain about as people would misuse 2 systems instead of 1. You bet! The current trust system already leaves some folks scratching their heads. Can you imagine the chaos if we introduced another layer of complexity with a second one? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) You'll end up with cases where someone gives positive feedback for a successful trade in the trade trust system, and negative feedback in the reputation trust system because he thinks the other guy is an asshole. I'll order the popcorn ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) For instance, in cases like this one, where BenCodie made a somewhat bad judgment call resulting in an undeserved negative rating, DTs should have the power to overvote the OP and change the rating from negative to neutral. No need, BenCodie isn't on DT, and asking attention for this case has only brought him further away from DT: I'd say (at least in this case) the Trust system works just fine.

Cloud storage is the worst option, whatever type of encryption you're trying to do. It depends on how you do it: This guy posted his private key with $1000 and a 6 character password (with hints!) on Bitcointalk, and nobody cracked it in 2 years. I agree that the average user shouldn't do it though, most users won't really know what they're doing. There's no way I can trust a piece of paper. Storing the essentials isn't always a good option where they can easily be damaged by something like water Put it in plastic. or faded if left too long. Show me a piece of paper you own that has faded over time. I don't have any.

So it looks like it is possible to brute-force the order of 12 words of a seed phrase. If it was 24 words, I would've been less sure, since that's even more possible combinations and would take in the magnitude of hundreds of thousands or even millions possibly. Make that half a billion more possibilities.12 words gives 12! = 479001600 possibilities. 24 words gives 24! = 620448401733239439360000 possibilities. Half a billion times 115 minutes is a million years.Not sure where you got half a billion from? You're right. I didn't even have to read further, let's say I'm an idiot before my caffeine sometimes. I was indeed surprised I got to "only" a million years, while it's closer to a few billion years.

The problem is still the same: there will be a 3 in a million chance for someone to find the private key I sent. That's an unacceptable risk. Not just any someone, it would have to be someone who is a MITM. Otherwise, you will know the key was stolen if your friend has not received it. Crosspass will release the shared secret only once, and expire the PIN. That's different than what you said on your website: note that the Lookup ID is not secret, so you can make it public without any loss of privacy. This makes it look like you can post the Lookup ID on social media, while it's something to be kept a secret.
