Well it's not like they are doing this just to annoy us, the NSA needs to do this for the safety of us. I know this is a big invasion of privacy but would you rather be private and more illegal crime going on?
A victimless "crime", aka exercising liberty, cannot legitimately be called a crime. |

It is not the job of the escrow provider to ensure that they are not guilty by association. It is the job of the government to not hold people guilty by association, and not block factual findings of innocence.
It is the job of the individual to protect themselves from everyone. Bitcoin, as a tool, truly shines at this task, but it's up to the individual to take the appropriate steps. Not sure which steps can truly protect against the totalitarians' boot stamping on the face of the world, forever. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sorry that you said that rather than listing some steps to legally protect against totalitarianism (perhaps because there are none, otherwise there would be no 'total' in the word). |

Well wouldn't the FBI/Government flooding the coins back into the market, admit that they see value in the coin?
They see value in showing innocents that if we even dare to think any association with liberty is free, we are sorely mistaken. |

inb4 escrow.com is shut down and all innocent funds seized because of guilt by association.

Just like you wouldnt say the feds stole cash they found in a drug dealer's house.
Silk road was a marketplace, yes, it was used to sell/buy drugs also. But this doesn't make those who used to sell and buy other legit things criminals. They got their bitcoins stolen. FBI STOLE bitcoins. It was their job as law enforcement agency to investigate and catch the drug dealers, not to behave like gangsters and just grab the whole bunch of coins. In this case, the FBI only took bitcoins from Silk Road and from the individual(s) that were operating the marketplace. It is not the fault of the FBI, that you chose to donate your bitcoins to Silk Road. If you do not have the private key, then you do not have the bitcoins. You donated your bitcoins to Silk Road when you sent them to a Silk Road bitcoin address. You did so in exchange for a promise from Silk Road that they would: give you back the same amount of bitcoins when you request them, or would use them to make payment for something in their market if you ask them to. The FBI did not steal your bitcoins, they confiscated the bitcoins that you foolishly donated to Silk Road. These aren't the coins held in escrow (or not yet withdrawn) for legal things you sold you're looking for... /waveshand |

Japan for sure..  ) I love my native country but still My heart is in japan I'd love to visit Japan! I'm a bit of a technology geek so I think I'd just walk around in awe! Outside of Akihabara, Japan is mostly old-fashioned. |

Copy the secret keys down when they are first shown to you, or login immediately on all sites and get or request the keys from them.

I'd like to know where this utopia is that the second a criminal touches a gun, it vanishes from existence.

Good websites will tell you to save your OTP keys somewhere safe... you'll probably have to go through extra reverification on each site.

You should have put down a "never" option in the poll so you could see what percentage of people in this form actually own a firearm.
I answered never because I can't afford shit. I should have just bought a .22LR pistol so I could actually fucking afford the ammo and to drive out to BLM shooting areas. |

Is "Just implement certs" hard to say, easy to do then? Because it seems as if you're going to be arguing for it until you are blue in the face because you're the last person on earth, after everyone else has died from asphyxia.

Not to mention the downfall of organized religion: How will a person drop bitcoins into the collection plate? And how will the Church know who to shake down?
C
Johnjay Van Es has talked a few times about having recurring electronic donations and feeling awkward when the collection plate is passed around. Maybe churches should just put donation QR codes up on the projector screen, one for bitcoin, one for PP, etc... then everyone scans and donates at once, and have a vacuum tube for cash donations. |

Feature Request: NOT MtGox prices as reference price.
I made a wallet for my parents so they can watch what their current holding is worth, but there's no way they'd ever get that price if they wanted to sell it. Can we change to something more realistic, like Bitstamp prices or so?
https://blockchain.info/address/[address] uses Stamp. Where is it using Gox? |
