If someone finds your dollar bill laying around on the ground they can spend it. Dollar bills still work just fine. Dont give your trezor to anyone else, problem solved. If you lose it, oh well you only had 100 bucks on it or w/e is the analogue to what you might keep in your regular fiat holding wallet.
You see, here I disagree. Why would anyone buy a trezor for 120 bucks to only carry an average of 100 bucks around. Doesn't sound too practical tbh. |

Do you want a virus?
Because that is how you get viruses!
In other words it is very much not okay to open a jpg file received from skype from a stranger. Bingo, also, that goes without saying, don't accept any other files  |

That's the power of facebook, even some noobs in facebook that have no idea what stellar was and know nothing about crypto world, were 'forced' to register and sent their coins to someone else Yes but you have to give it to stellar, they probably reached more people in the few days than bitcoin attracted in the last 30 days! |

It would be rare that a virus would be found in a image file.
There are ways to make a .exe appear as a .jpg and there were exploits where skype didn't detect this. Just google: jpg virus skype you will finds million of results. |

How do you handle situations where you can't match all future positions internally? Bucket shop?
Due to the trading backgrounds of key firm shareholders we believe it would be a conflict of interest to take the other side of trades. So put simply, we don't take the other side of trades and this is why our total volume is still zero-- although our verified customer base is growing daily. Go figure. We feel this is the best time to implement these updates before trading starts to pick up where such a large downtime is unacceptable. HEXS.NET is purely focused on providing fast, secure and reliable order matching based on time-price priority. If you are trying to buy and no one is willing to sell to you; you're trade will not execute and will become a limit order instead. (ex. If there are no visible offers (or bids) and you place a market buy order (or sell order); the market order will become a limit order.) We received some feedback from customers and non-customers that we should create a liquidity bot to get trading started.. but we don't feel that would be the right thing to do. We don't believe in the broker-dealer model nor do we engage as broker-dealers. Rather, we are willing to accommodate customers who are interested in providing a two-sided market with fee-waivers and rebates per trade. Let us know if you have any other questions. Very good answer. Will take a closer look into this project if I find some time! |

I asked this question ages ago but i dont think anyone ever responded to it. I think its still a good question so ill ask again.
To make an analogy. If trezor is a male condom, have you guys put any thought into developing a female condom? That is to say, people who use a trezor are completely safe from having their bitcoins stolen, but what about the risk to the merchant when you plug your trezor into his system? Have you put any thought into developing a devise for merchants that would allow customers to plug their trezor into the merchants system with out any risk of a fake trezor compromising the merchant's security?
I don't think trezor is for POS terminals. Atleast that is how I understand it. Well as it is no. That would be way to much risk to the terminals to plug god knows what into their systems. But with such a devise as was described above, they could be. Could be implemented yes, but do you really think TREZOR will reach such an adoption that it will be neccessary? In its current form - no. but 5 years down the road, an RFID version would be entirely acceptable using a slightly different protocol than the in/out of USB Sounds better, but then we will even more need the PIN or PW, because of obvious reasons TREZOR 2.0 would then need some kind of num pad There is no clear reason to need a pin if we are not talking about huge amounts of money. I mean I dont have to enter a pin to hand someone cash. None the less i have never yet had cash stolen from me. That would be true if there was a mechanism that would prevent repeated charges. Afaik there is none at this moment. So if you find a TREZOR you could not steal much money at once, but with many small charges your could empty it pretty fast. Correct me if I am wrong. |

Armory.
Just use Armory? Is there any other component or how do you use Armory? I'm not entirely familiar with using it so maybe I'm missing something obvious. It is very secure and easy to recover with the seed. Also the most powerful wallet there is! |

for each 10 bit coins a separate wallet, each one stored in a separate encrypted partition/USB
Then i would back 1/4 up to MEGA, 1/4 to Google drive 1/4 to Dropbox and the rest in paper wallets.
Why not only paperwallets with BIP0038 backuped in 3 different places and the rest on a mobile TREZOR? Way more practical |

Very cool gadget! Will keep using it in the future.

The coins in the background look gorgeous! Any plans on selling some of the loaded ones?
I intend to create a 'Permanent Collection' of non-casascius physical coins, to compliment (and aid in the research for) my ebooks (linked in my signature) That said I do have doubles of some coins that I am willing to sell. PM me and I'll see what I can do  Thank you for the offer. At this time I have to decline as most of my money is invested at this moment, but I will buy some in the future! |

What browser has this issue? (and windows version) Promise not to laugh ?? Windows Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7 Home Edition ..  I know .. bear skins and knives  Triff .. Heh, how were you able to install Windows 7 on your atari computer? LOL .. It came 'pre loaded' thank God  Atari ?? Almost .. HP all in one desktop unit bought in 2011 .. I'll buy something new after NXT makes me more prosperous Triff .. You are a good sport! But seriously now, you need to kick IE 9 into the bucket. It is so unsafe and incompatible! I don't even know if it has something like ad-block-plus or greasmonkey ? |

Could it be a virus or malware? Or is it not possible? Ty.
This is very much possible. I would advise against it unless you know and trust the person sending the picture. Even then, ask if the person sent it or a virus that infested his system. I have had multiple friends send me files that they didn't send. |

@bitcoinGirl
I'd bet that your transaction will be included in a block within a week!

I think it is funny that people use highly leveraged positions and let them go near forced liquidation, then due to market movements and illiquidity, get stopped and try to blame all on bitfinex.
Ever wondered why no serious trader using bitfinex ever complained?
Do you really think that? Have a good long read in the service discussion thread. Their market freeze + locking shorts in position during a rally left many traders with a very sour taste in their mouth. Yes I remember that well, but that was a business decision. In no way did the traders implied that Bitfinex was entering positions and being a bucket shop. (That is what most people here accuse BFX of). Their business and success is hugely depended on a healthy swap market and freezing the market in chain-liquidation scenarios is a bad but apparently neccessary step. Saying "it's a business decision" doesn't mean that no serious trader every complained.... plenty of traders had legitimate complaints in that fiasco. I wouldn't make any assumptions about their business model. You are right. Atleast in the bucket shop accusation I am pretty positive that they act honest. I prolly should leave now to not get branded a shill :p |

<snip>. If you had 100 bitcoins and the price is 10,000 USD each that is 1,000,000 USD man. That is more than enough to put into stocks/retirement account and do whatever the hell you want for the rest of your life.
<snip>
Yes, let's lock up your wealth into a retirement plan! God knows when they pull the dollar plug and let it hyperinflate. You would be *crazy* to put 1,000,000 into stocks or any other paper. If you really are scared to hold that much value in bitcoins, transfer it into another tangible asset like gold, farmland, art, tools, cars, etc. If I had 1,000,000USD right now, I would keep 10,000USD for spending, everything else in the above. Stocks are not ultimately dependend on FIAT. Sure they would suffer extremely, but not like FIAT itself. Not having stock in your portfolio would be a huge mistake. I wish I could dump them all but too bad that worthless shit is locked in a mortgage and pension fund. I would love to convert all paper assets to anything else than paper. I don't need/want the paper promises which cannot be fulfilled. I rather invest in knowledge. Knowledge and experience cannot be taken away from you unless you become mentally ill. That is a rather radical point of view. I agree that knowledge and education and experience is the most important thing, but I don't get your hate against companies. Investing directly in companies is no option for you either? I don't hate companies! I hate the empty promises made by stockbrokers. Because you don't own the stocks which you think you own. The day that stock ownership is hard-coded in the bitcoin blockchain I'm all in! (well, not exactly all-in, but you get my point) Oh, well, that is a perfectly fine reason. At this moment you could literally walk into a small business convention and invest into small cap firms directly |

At this moment, no matter how good the news seem the price doesn't move, or atleast not upwards. So amazon news would probably crash the price down to 500 $ :p
