I would like to print up a paper wallet but require entering a pass phrase to decode it.. then I can leave the paper wallet on a desk and be pretty confident if someone took it they wouldn't be able to use it without some brute force cracking.

That topic occurs earlier in this thread, but is not being implemented on BitAddress.org:

And it was suggested by about a half dozen people on the bitcoin banknote thread:

Joe Justice did an AMA on reddit

"I'm Joe Justice, founder of the WIKISPEED. My team invented a carbon-fiber ultra efficient 100mpg car and we've decided to accept Bitcoin. AMA"

 - http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/xig8o/im_joe_justice_founder_of_the_wikispeed_my_team/

I can't find the open source car plans though. Is it downloadable?

That was discussed:

We published a version of our car in Open Source (http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Wikispeed_SGT01) so folks can modify or design their own compatible modules.

As far as delivery, the prototypes that are being offered for sale are already built.

Well, they are building for customer orders, and have a backlog apparently:

Ok, I want to buy some BitCoins, I live in the UK.
Can I buy them using my Online Bank Account?
Or through PayPal?
I am finding very hard looking for ways to buy/get the BitCoins.

You can deposit cash into Mt. Gox's account at any Barclays:
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mtgox#UK_.28GBP.29

You can do a domestic bank transfer with them as well.

Another easy way is probably Intersango but I'm not sure if their current issue with Metrobank has been resolved.

You can also use a credit card to buy SLL (Linden Dollars) at VirWoX and then trade those for bitcoins:
 - http://www.VirWoX.com

You can send cash (GBP) or check to Bitcoin Nordic, by mail, to purchase bitcoins:
 - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Nordic

There is also a site called London Bitcoin Exchange, though there is not much about them yet so if you do trade, perhaps use an escrow.
 - http://londonbitcoinexchange.wordpress.com/

You might find a local trader (or place an buy order and see if anyone is selling):
 - http://www.LocalBitcoins.com

There are a number of methods:

As the bitcoin makes its comeback, it may also provoke renewed attention from law enforcement as an illegal competitor to the U.S. dollar or as a vehicle for money laundering, especially if it continues to be used predominantly on the Internet’s fringes.

  • It would be hard to get 51% of miners on board.
Why or why wouldn't something like this work?

You'ld actually need more than 51% because with 49% continuing work and already 5 ahead, it will take a long time for this 51% to at least even catch up to the 49%.

Also, the miners are going to want money in advance, from coins already sent to them and confirmed before the fork. Or payment some other method.    Even then, if the endeavor fails, who is responsible.  
5116  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do you guys think about this Whole Newbie system? on: August 01, 2012, 07:38:46 PM
Your argument
we have to waste our time on these newbie threads for a while before we can get to the "big boiii" threads.

You can go to the other thread, you just can't post there yet.  There's a difference.

For exceptions, there is a whitelist request thread.  If you can show that you've helped others here, have been constructive in some manner, or have a specific need then often that will help towards gaining post access to the forums.

When Bitcoin is mainly used to by magazine subscriptions and transfer money to places PayPal would never go, it will grow uninhibited -- even if there's a little use for silk road and whatever else happens.

When Bitcoin is the currency mainly used for drugs, guns and ponzi schemes, there will likely be a regulatory response perhaps mandating that no person or business can accept digital currency without full AML/KYC (i.e.., get a copy of the ID from ever customer that pays you, store the info and transaction records for 5 years, etc.)

that future is only a swipe of the pen away.  I'ld like to keep it that way.

If I had a valid eBay account I'ld report it.  Since you must have an active eBay account to report these, I'm unable to do so.

I'm not willing to sign up to eBay just to help prevent some scam from occurring.

I'ld rather not see these though.  It sullies Bitcoin, but what do you do?

Scammers gonna scam.
