If you do, why do you even express your opinions and reveal trading sentiment ? You only make it easier for "the manipulator" to manipulate, also, polls with price (trends) guessing, those are gold mines why not try to say nothing for a full week, just for fun, to see what happens.  |

You should sit down and do the math — the value to you in destroy other people's bitcoin is very small unless you happen to own most of the bitcoin, far less value than stealing it. In fact the attacker is best off living that potential victim alone, because his bitcoins will be worth more if people are not afraid to use bitcoin due to the attacks.
and if motivation is political or psychotic ? simply to destroy or disrupt
Attempts to destroy your bitcoin can also be foiled with a simple offline backup— a $2 usb key or two is cheap insurance. You're a fool if you don't have an offline backup because dataloss happens even when there are no attackers.
'Backing up' to the blockchain is a horrific idea. It would provide no security (what is the point of 'secret' data which is known to everyone) over just using the password alone— and using a password alone is itself a terrible idea because people are bad at producing strong passwords even when they are trying, it would burden the bitcoin network and prematurely degrade our decenteralization.
I suggest writing it somewhere automatically, block chain is a suggestion because it is always there, unlike USB stick in near future 2 passwords will be required to send/steal coins so if there is encrypted wallet online, it could be brute forced once, but that would not be enough, if it requires confirmation via SMS or some other method to send coins thief could find all wallets and look at balances, but not steal if they require additional confirmation |

No one will lose a wallet without a backup twice.
I am just saying that someone could lose it once that would bring bad publicity, slower adoption... uncomfortable and risky use turns people away |

super long bulls are called investors and usually that mean over 10 years
so we wait another 7 years to discover the real bulls |

Copy the wallet.dat to yourself, steal coins available and then erase original wallet.dat from target machine for lulz. Or copy the wallet.dat file, wait when lamer recieves more coins in the wallet and then steal the coins. Some users will send more coins to compromised wallet even after the coins are stolen  on install, encrypted one is created (with 2 factor authentication) only one of those passwords will be used to recover the wallet from the blockchain other password would enable spending and this is protection from destruction, not from (both) passwords being sniffied |

Just use a deterministic wallet.
tell it to my grandma
Anything stored in block chain "seed" or not would obviously need to be encrypted thus you still need a passphrase.
Not sure what storing an encrypted wallet in the blockchain would gain you over simply using a wallet where your passphrase IS your wallet.
It would allow people to act irresponsible (as usual), without being punished for it. Most of the people is mentally stuck in 7th grade, basically kids with mustache or boobs... they often do not have due attention |

If i was a bad guy, and saw that it is almost impossible to steal bitcoin,
I would try to destroy other people's bitcoin
by erasing wallets or uninstalling or whatever.
There will be some people that will not make backups of their wallets.
question is :
are those encrypted wallets too big to be written into a block chain ?
Someone attacked would know approximately when he created his wallet
or would have some other reference
to restore that wallet.
Customized tool would scoop wallets in chosen period of time,
and try user provided password on those wallets...
since sending will require 2 passwords soon, coins would not be stolen,
but wallets could be restored
and maybe wallets could be written into namecoins block chain,
since there is merged mining, to let namecoin return the favor...
Or is it possible to store in block chain only some kind of "seed" of a wallet
to reduce storage size ?

http://www.offshore-professional.com/en/bank-license/bank-license.htmloffshore bank , licence price is within mtgox's reach they incorporate a bank, and do business with other banks, like when teenager starts smoking cigarettes, to look like older guys, then some of them will talk to him... looks like it would solve some account freezings and wire transfers could go smoother, sepa would not cause problems... I do not know, just asking what are your thoughts on this...

I was interested in distribution between 2 higher options.
has anybody actually looked if those polls are self fulfilling ?
In the long run, bulls have been right,
timing can be off, but price direction looks to be up for 3 years...

less than 5 includes 0 USD in case of some bitcoin doomsday event and more than 20 includes hyperinflation od USD I think somewhere before block reward halving we will have some kind of adjustment, probably to the upper side Since I am bullish, I prefer to read what bears have to say to get balance... I voted 5-20 |

If you have namecoind running, you can type "namecoind getinfo"
Is it for windows ? type where ? in command prompt (after installation), or in that namecoind if it has its own "window" ? I am in bitcoin for a few months, but still can't even start with namecoin, it is clearly not for a wide adoption ... there should be some kind of website with simple download link can you just tell me how many are mined yet, 2 milloion 8 million or something like 300 k ? are they being destroyed when domain is registered ? |
|
|
|
please say where can I find namecoin statistics like how many are mined till now and that sort of info, also, is there a GUI wallet for PC (windows or ubuntu) ? and where to download it, simple .exe installation file, I am no techie will it interfere with bitcoin wallet installation ? |

a friend that lives on another continent could actually keep me alive with this
is it enough to use only first 6 or so characters of an address to describe it uniquely and complete the transaction ?
to read a few first letters into friends phone and he than does the rest.

Congrats on dumping at the top, but I do think Gold and Silver will be making a comeback here as people realize Ron Paul won't be winning the presidency, and thus the US gov't is free to print the USD like mad again and start QE3 and QE4.
jim rogers recently said that QE3 has already begun , he referenced to the increase in slope of M2 graph in the last months |

taxi could have its website,
customer sends bitcoin as assurance that he is not prank calling
leaves a message with his address for pickup,
the rest of the fare price can be settled in cash or in bitcoin
taxis can have some prim-dijkstra alg to find the shortest routes
to pickup customers around the city...
also, taxi could send out sms with estimated time of pickup...

what would you buy ?
you should want to buy something that you cant even have invented
here for at least 200 years
(100 years to send money, and another 100 to receive "the goods")
you have no idea what to ask for,
except immortality blueprints or something of similar order of importance,
but I doubt we would have the money to pay for such a "thing"
