1) Most everyone around us already wears pants. Anyone who doesn't faces social (and probably legal) repercussions. 2) Most everyone has been taught to wear pants from a very young age. It has become habituated. 3) There are advertisements everywhere making most everyone think that they will be sexually desirable if they wear the right pants. 4) Most everyone already has a pretty good idea how to use pants. 1) Some of them will find it in hard way that encryption is a must. Our president's adviser found it in hard way http://www.dzeltenais.lv/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rgle.png and this is he most decent picture that was copied from her hacked e-mail. 2. Let's teach our children how to use encryption from very young age. Let us be the last generation of neanderthals who run around without pants! 3. Let's advertise that 4096-bit RSA keys are more sexy than 2048 ones! 4. Using PGP is not harder than squeezing into pants. At least for person with 130+ IQ Woah woah there mate, we need at least 160+ IQ no?

His statement stands, they can only take paper BTC or BTC converted to fiat (or simply fiat)
True, but all that BTC won't do good if you're stuck in prison. Lol what the hell does that have to do with anything? You could still give it to your children, open a brainwallet that uses a certain hash to generate a private key and just remember the password and repeat it every morning for prayers. You are more than welcome to start a decentralized blockchain of exchanging bungholes in the shower if you want to.....

It's difficult to understand when women are truly not given the same consideration as men. As a young man I had a hard time getting a job, it was hard going on construction sites and having no experience to prove myself. Women face the same problem but throughout their lives, except they are women so they can be stereotyped and written off. a friend of mine told me a story of when she went to a construction site, with little experience but a willingness to work, they pretty much told her not to come back... why? because she was a woman and didn't know what she was doing. At least as a young man, the foreman would tolerate my inexperience as a greenhorn, but as a woman stereotypes of why woman can't do things dominate, making women lose faith in themselves when interacting with men... written off and never given a chance.
Women don't bother because they are not confident because men make them diffident because they don't bother because they are not confident because men make...... If women would truly be equal with men they would stop blaming men for their inadequacy, we are all told we can't do something throughout our lives and the biggest reward is always doing it .

Women are speculators in general from an objective equality standpoint...
What does this mean? Anyway i think this thread is off to a better start than that other thread about women and bitcoins. It means that every brick is there because a man has put it there, almost all inventions have been made by men and all scientists are male, I can't even recall one important person who is a woman at the top of my head without Googling that first. Not trying to be an ass but a part of feminism should be to be equal to men in all aspects, not just receive the same benefits, women ought to seek jobs as janitors, garbage handlers and in construction as well rather than complain about lower pay/employment in CEO positions. This is real equality.

Pretty much why I chose those - they are also in chronological order (at least according to the filenames). I have to say Mircea looks much better now. Stop questioning authority!

Sad to say but most women are more concerned about gossip etc rather than revolutionary ideas, chances are they wouldn't know about Bitcoin to begin with (as they aren't as aware of Bitcoin in developed countries in comparison to their male counterpart).

Sure that would help, but the current generation of brain wallets do not do that.
Bitcoin is great but it's ease of use is poor and it's unforgiving nature... Well.. unforgiving. Recommending Bitcoin to your grandmother would be a truly evil thing, the elderly are already prone to scammers even with the debt system babysitting them.

What if someone used dictionary words in his private key and then generated the public key using that private key? It could become very probable
Very true! In fact this very thing has happened many times: 1) Someone creates a "brain wallet" using a simple password. A brain wallet is defined as Key private = SHA256(password) 2) They send some BTC to their brain wallet 3) The BTC are instantly taken, never to be recovered! What is happening is that someone, in fact multiple people, have done the following: 1) Get a huge dictionary of common passwords, millions of them 2) Create brain wallets for every one of these passwords 3) Set up a script that constantly searches new transactions for any transfers to any of these millions of bitcoin addresses 4) If any transfers happen to any of these millions of addresses then instantly "sweep" the funds to one of the thief's other addresses where they collect all the ill gotten booty. So, the leason here is to only create and use brain wallets if you know exactly what you are doing. If you do not know and fully understand the concept of password entropy then do not create and use a brain wallet. Noobs should never use brain wallets. That is all very interesting and very important to know and I am very glad you brought it up but my statement still stands as that is not a brute force attack on a key pair, it is called a rainbow table attack. Salting the private key could solve the problem though, the salt could then be exposed to the user as an additional layer of security.

I think thats unacceptable, just paying 1 hundred dollars and a hacker gets a them 10s of thousands.. :/
But the point is that he can't spend the whole balance, the whole account is only "worth" a couple hundred bucks, because the max that he can reap from that one account would be to order discounted stuff for other people in exchange for BTC until the owner notices it and closes it off. A bitcoin account with 10,000$ is worth 10,000$. A debt account with 10,000$ is worth crap.

someone on ebay wanted to but bitcoins from me. 4 for 400. He paid with a womans paypal account sending the payment as a gift. His personal email has a name completely different to the woman's pay pal. Is it a scam? I already sent 0.1 BTC then I started thinking... this is too good to be true.
Paypal is far from being secure, plenty of accounts are compromised on a regular basis, the cyber criminals then purchase irreversible goods (e.g. jewelry, Bitcoins) with the reversible goods (USD, Euro etc) using the compromised account. 4 BTC for 400$ isn't even such a good deal at the current rates. Paypal accounts with balances ranging from 10,000$ to 100,000$ typically cost a couple hundred dollars for cyber criminals.

Everything about the OP screams "don't trust me!".
From the username "madmadmax" to the guy fawkes mask avatar to the fact he won't say a single thing about his business (not even "plastics" or whatever).
I think he is just a lonely troll sitting in his mom's basement looking for attention. I wouldn't give him the time of day let alone any of my hard-earn money.
Judging people based on their username and unwillingness to share sensitive information with teenagers, Facebook, Yahoo and the big G in a cryptoanarchistic forum. You're a bright little fella aren't you?

I already asked for at least one investor to show up here. So far none.
They might show up and they might not, if you are interested I can introduce you to the one myself.
|
|
|
Yeah right an investor. That isn't you. I can introduce you to him, have a call for all I care. I do appreciate your paranoia, paranoids survive.

Do you have an adress for the pigeon to fly to or do I need to send in a postcard to Google Inc. to find out?
You need to send a postcard to Apple ONLY from the newest iOS 7.

Bitcoin websites are way too dependent on the internet. Almost all of the major sites are using it:
bitstamp.net btc-e.com blockchain.info blockexplorer.com bitpay.com coinbase.com campbx.com
For a currency that aims to be decentralized this is way too much centralization.
We at mtgox still use the legacy HTML over pigeon protocol, you can ping us if the internet is offline. You release a pigeon and it is back by the next summer (warning, rates may be slightly not up-to-date).

I have an investor who is looking to split the risk with someone else, if anyone is interested contact me.
