i think you guys are missing the point. this is not really for online stuff, although it would be usefull in certain situations like μpayments to avoid a lot of fees, just send in BTC2 and not have to send any more for a month or so.
This idea also would work good in malls. you could go to the malls website and put money in that way, or right at the door. there would be at least 1 block done by the time you wanted to buy something. and really 1 block is good enough for smaller purchases below $500.
in addition, why are you guys so easy to just go to the simple solution of "hey, lets give all our money to this guy over here, we can trust him, right?". not only would you pay more, you are defeating the purpose of bitcoin.
overall i think my idea is both easy to understand and safe. it requires no additional passwords to remember and is as secure as your email account (although some people are stupid so i dont know, maby a text based system, use your phone number instead.).

anyone who thinks a .us domain is better than .de is retarded at best. and 25k for that domain is probably a lie.

the thing with a security hologram is that they are pointless unless you get a custom made one, and hope the same company don't sell them to another entity. otherwise your just wasting your time and the customers money.

Sounds a lot like gift cards.
I buy a gift card from Wal*mart for 5BTC, and it is only usable at Wal*mart.
yep, except more online, instant(kinda), and more secure. and you can take the money out if you want, and its really meant for personal use. |

Just a simple what i think a solution is to the problem of secure, instant and somewhat decentralized transactions. this solution does not give the bs answer, just give all your money to some central authority. This would rely heavily a non existent open source platform that has yet to be made. the system would not be account based, but more email based. it would not require a brand new account name/password. just you supply your real name and email address in the website and everything else works through email where you need verification. example: i want to buy some stuff from walmart i go to walmart.com and put my name "ctoon6" and my email " example@example.com" walmart.com sends an email with a unique public bitcoin address that i send any amount of coins i want. i send BTC5 to the public address walmart sends another email back that is signed and says how many coins i sent along with a random pin number and password. in the same email i get a link to an image to print out a card for use at the store. it would require the pin with the card, vaid for x amount of time i could also get the card printed out at walmart if i wanted also. the card is only required at a storefront. if i type my email address into walmart.com it would send an email of how many coins i have and my account information and such. if i want my coins back i type in my email address at walmart.com and the amount i want back they send an email and i click a link in the email that takes me to a page where i specify the public address. in short, every store or company or site has their own account systems. this is better than a single, and pointless system where you have to trust 1 company with all your money that you want to spend versus a bunch of smaller ones where you would only loose at most like USD100 worth. this does not address the vending machine problem, unless every vending machine company formed a coalition or something. |

im kind of curious as to what libertarianism has to do with this thread, which is about trolling the UABB guy. and as to the people who say this forums is full of trolls, ill tell you why. these forums have almost no rules, as long as you are not breaking/exploiting the forum software and are not EXCESSIVELY spamming, i don't think i have ever seen anyone get banned. oh yeah, porn too and them assassination threads too. thats why there are so many trolls, and why no real thread can exist.

just as a i thought, this is just overall a dumb idea? this is the same as an ewallet almost.

what is the advantage of this over having real keys on paper.
|
|
|
|
|
are private and public keys case sensitive? if they are not then i could probably eventually memorize 1 key pair.
|

don't waste your time, it would be far easier to export signed transactions.

i personally would not take anything made by apple, or Microsoft for that matter as secure. safari is one of the least secure browsers you can get, and lately a lot of exploits have been found on simple things like laptop batteries lawl.

i put the pthreadVC2.lib file in C:\pthreads-win32 from making pthreads the vanitygen make file is the original. i am very confused  Your pthreads dir certainly looks complete. Try renaming c:\pthreads-win32 to c:\pthreads-w32. If you're up for it, send me a /msg on freenode, same nickname. that worked now i get LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\pthreads-w32\pthread.lib' this is probably from me now knowing how to change it to use the other lib file. |

actually
1. use tor
2. bit laundry on tor hidden service
3. everyone sends coins to the laundry
4. laundry sends back 99% of the coins, keeps 1% for fee
5. profit
you only have to trust that the laundry does not keep logs, and does not go out of their way to catch criminals.
You also have to make sure that the funds aren't sent back to you in a predictable manner, either. All they need to do is give everyone the same public key to send the coins to, and tell the laundry service what public key to send them back to. this would obviously be a brand new key. there could also be different levels of security that cost more. level 1 would just dump many people coins in the same address and send them back once enough have been collected. level 2 could collect a bunch together and send them into an exchange for a day or so and get them back. level 3 could send them to and from many services. obviously every time this is done it gets more costly. again, all records would have to be erased after each process. |
