Are people getting infected for reasons they can't help, or are they just being careless?
They don't care, they don't know anything about pc, they don't want to learn.

51% attack do not allow you to steel money from someone else.
Wrong.
It can. It can rewrite the whole blockchain.

Do you even know what a 51% attack is?  Do you know what can be done using it?  Do you know what would happen if a pool tried to do it?

Let's do a mind experiment.  Assume BTC guild, right now, has 60% of all the hashing power.  Now explain to me exactly what they would do in order to pull off a "51% attack", exactly what they would accomplish by doing it and most importantly exactly why they would do it.

A 51% Attack doesn't have to be intentional, does it? If any pool had 60% of the hashing power, an attack would be forthcoming. The pool doesn't have to try to do it, it will, which is why the pools cap themselves. Blocks other miners solve would be orphaned left and right... The longest chain always win the conflict, right? That isn't to say it was done intentionally or with malice. But whoever has the upper hand would benefit from the block rewards and transactions fees of those resolved 'conflicts.'  On the other hand, if a pool wanted to orchestrate an attack... well, I guess that's another topic.
No.

This isn't intentional - As the authority on the network (so to speak), clients will believe the pool's hashed transaction block over any other. That means the pool will win all transaction conflicts, and get the rewards.
Epic confusion.

A 51% attack is then the attacker blockchain voluntarily ignore every other blocks. An honest 51% holder would accept the blocks found by other people.

They would be able to do everything.

why they would do it.
Maybe modify just some transactions... because someone pay them for that... you know, corruption... something wich will pass unnoticed but important...who know... no proof that "they" did it...

Deal with it. You get "offended"?  Roll Eyes QQ more  Roll Eyes

Additionally, when you first sign up there is no mention of this, that I noticed
You are quick to get OFFENDED. But you can't be bothered to actually READ what you SIGNED? Go away please.  Smiley

In my opinion the newbie policy should be more restrictive, look what mess are the newbie creating  Roll Eyes Not even reading what they sign  Roll Eyes

Giusto?
No. Bitcoin-qt crea un nuovo indirizzo dal nulla in quel momento a cui manda il resto, indipendentemente da quanti indirizzi ci sono già. Tale indirizzo ovviamente non può essere su un paperwallet visto che è appena nato.  E qua sta il problema, se uno non lo sa è convinto che i suoi restanti dindi siano ancora sul paperwallet. Così non è, sono andati altrove.

Go up into the jungle of the Congo, where your smartphone battery was mined, and try to buy something with your bitcoins
Your precious gold will be happily stolen from you in Congo, instead a brainwallet cannot be stolen.

Esatto. Il vecchio paperwallet in questo caso diventerebbe inutile.

You can always reformat the computer, right?

Yes. But what if your personal files are seized and you can't use them?
If you are an idiot and not only you caught a virus but also you didn't backup your "epic important personal files" then please stop using a computer because you are clearly unable to use one. You are doing more damage than good.
This said, please arrest who mine iron: it is used to produce guns that kill people.
