Could there be a get out in the fact that it's not sponsorship and not a corporation? Would there be an objection if the shirt said "I use dollars"?

Agreed on all points.
Some slight mitigations...
The cheat can't control or has any knowledge of the thresholds set in the receiving client. A person may chose to only accept risk for micro payments and/or only account for largish transactions in the blockchain from that address. By distributing some of the actual criteria to all the users, the attack becomes less clear to the attacker and raises the bar (in transaction costs over time).
There will always be risk in accepting zero confirms, but I'm trying to get us to think about a system that would let individual users mitigate those risks with their own values. We should discuss all the points you've made, come up with more threats, and try to work some metrics that will help us measure those risks.

Does anyone think it might be useful to discuss a formula that could be used to assess risk of accepting a transaction based on individual green addresses?
The way it would work is a spender would send their bitcoins from their own personal green address. It's nothing special, except that it is just an address they continuously keep funded to make rapid payments.
The idea is that the block chain can see the date of first spend, the number of transactions per day (average), even some kind of frequency analysis like even distributions over time or all bunched up a long time ago, a clean history of no double spends, etc.
On top of that, each receiving client can be programmed with risks associated with different amounts of Bitcoin received... that is, anything under 1 btc, low risk, anything over 50 btc medium risk, etc. Then the client could display some sort of indication of trust for that transaction.
What I would like to discuss, if you guys think this would be useful, is the criteria for the computation of blockchain data, and user configurable datapoints that would make this useful to the community.
Thoughts?

asked/answered somewhere in this thread. He's just doing it as a favor, but at least one of the other 7 guys with him "knows it better". I can't recall what that means. But even if it's very little, the net sum of network effect outweighs the few around him that figured out he's just a shill for us.

Why can't we rely on the reputation of individual green addresses? We can see the age of the key by the first time it was used. We can calculate some good faith on the frequency of use. We can see any prior double spends.
For quick, smallish transactions this seems plausible. You give up some anonymity with this, but there's nothing stopping you from keeping a daily payment address and weekly pot buying address.

LOL... it's been fun watching you talk to yourself, teflone, as I can't see anyone else talking. Funny shit.

What version of Python do you have? I think the dev likes you to have 2.7.

It sure was. I shared it. People saw it. Success!

You're the one that keeps coming back to this thread trying to start something. It must really bother you. I hope you find out why and get it resolved.

Questions: Why are you being such an angry cuntbag? Why does "mis-posting" a photo, ABOUT bitcoin under a forum called Bitcoin, bother you so much? Does this picture threaten you in some way? Are you angry you didn't think of it? This was a simple post and attempt at some basic internet humor. What has your panties in such a bunch that you can't enjoy it for what it is, and keep your big fat negative mouth shut?

Dunno if this is the intended process, but when you can something with zxing, it does copy it to the clipboard. hold press on the input field and select paste.
Also, I've seen some clients fumble with the bitcoin uri - by prepending or removing "bitcoin:" from the qr encoded text makes it work. I know you can't readily change someone else's QR code... just sayin... If that is the case, perhaps pasted it to an editable field, add/remove the protocol reference, and then drop it in your client address field.

please fix the chat scroll back. When I scroll up, it should not jump down for new messages. With 27 people in the channel this is important I guess.
Now that you mention it, perhaps a scrollback on the video would be more "useful" lol |

I wish everyone would shut the fuck up about money laundering. Each and every one of us uses encryption in some way to protect our private information. Why the fuck is financial data any different?
Bad guys: If you're doing "bad things" in the real world, and you're unlucky or a big enough target, you're eventually going to get boned by the cops and a cell mate.
Cops: Stop fucking invading my financial privacy to make your fucking job easier. Don't you already get like unlimited vacation days for shooting innocent civilians?
