We're seeing a lot of articles like this lately.

The best part about them is that banks will read these articles and want to stop Bitcoin, while regular people will read them and want to buy bitcoins. This will make people hate banks even more, accelerating Bitcoin's adoption.

20.32

20.33, because someone else already took 20.32.

And what if a security vulnerability is found in the software? Am I supposed to buy a new one? Shouldn't the sellers bear that cost?

What if there's a bug in the software that manages the breaks of your car? (many newer cars have electronic breaks, remember that Toyota scandal?)
Even if it was possible to update the firmware of such software, most people wouldn't be capable of. A recall would be necessary.

I'd expect the same for Trezor. If a critical bug is found, they should do a recall. So, yeah, they'd better test it a lot, and keep it simple.


A lot of people use analogies that don't apply to what they're arguing for, but I do like this one. Trezor-like devices could be an extremely important part of one's personal finances in the near future.
624  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [ANN] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: January 24, 2013, 01:58:01 AM
Is this going to have a re-writeable firmware? I thought it was going to be fused to allow only a single access to the memory for backup purposes. Maybe I'm thinking of another project.

Yes, devices will have locked firmware for security reasons. We need to freeze feature set for the first release (otherwise we never release any product), but hopefully we will continue in the development, so such extra features will come with next versions.

Just to make sure I'm understanding this right... the firmware will be "locked", but updatable?

I added a thicker border and centered the chest.





(There's a white border around the inverted one, it's just impossible to see with a white background  Wink)

I suppose when it's ready

This seems like the most likely answer.

1000x1000 version

It'd be pretty neat if the winner of the contest got a free Trezor.  Grin

Any idea on what the price for one is looking like at this point?

Interested, but I'm not a licensed ham yet. Maybe this will give me the kick in the ass that I need to buckle down and take the exam.

do it! and if you are in the US and want a tech or general license book let me know. i'll mail it for the cost of postage. it's a test version out of date but about all that has changed is the morse code requirements.


That would be awesome! I'll take you up on it.  Grin

Let me know the postage cost next time you're on IRC.

Dont worry guys. Friedcat didnt show any sign till now that something is fake with the project. So i dont believe that you will lose any money. I think he still is confirming but has more important things to do. So i think he should work on that. You wont have to fear to lose anything if your claims were right.

Even if he doesn't get around to all the shares before the ASICs are up and running, he will know how much BTC to keep for the unconfirmed shares.
633  Economy / Speculation / Re: [POLL] when will 1 BTC be worth 1 oz of silver? on: January 18, 2013, 04:00:26 AM
June 2011

@OP do your homework before asking stupid questions lol  Cheesy

Do YOUR homework

Silver was well over $34/oz in June 2011:

I took some time to create a nice logo
Check it out, hope you like it:


Looks way nicer than the old one! Good job.
636  Economy / Securities / Re: [NastyFans] NASTY MINING on: January 17, 2013, 03:08:08 PM
Thanks to the person that donated 14.8 BTC to nastymining. Cheesy
Does anyone know anything about this?  I am not sure how it would have happened, but looking at the TX https://blockchain.info/tx/934d18c5a8bc2678bc81ffbc891296d2d74dfc1802cd1dc898ded1a382b972d3 I think it is clear that was meant to be change.

If we can find the person who owns the sending address should we send it back?  I would love to get a bigger payout, but I also know that if it were me and i messed up that I wouldn't be changed ~$220 for my stupidity.

I thought it was OgNasty's donation for the SSL cert at first, but it doesn't add up. If someone can provide a signed message with that address stating it was an accident, we should return it. Otherwise... oh well!

If Bitcoin grows too quickly - too many great minds might be idling around on beaches and frolicking with hookers n blow instead of building great things

This is the single most important reason that it should not grow too quickly. This is my theory on where Satoshi went.
638  Economy / Goods / [WTS] (Bitmit) - Information Security College Books on: January 16, 2013, 01:07:27 AM
I'm selling Principles of Information Security and Information Security - Contemporary Cases on Bitmit.

The books are in good condition (used), and both auctions are starting lower than the best prices I could find on Amazon.
639  Economy / Securities / Re: [NastyFans] NASTY MINING on: January 15, 2013, 11:30:25 PM
I can not agree to StartSSL terms.

Do you mind elaborating on this? I was thinking of using them for my own site.
640  Economy / Speculation / Re: in the future: sha256 gets cracked on: January 14, 2013, 04:42:19 AM
... Ok everyone uses it (the exploit) and difficulty rises by 1000x.

That is everyone except the ones with non-programmable asic chips.

True but there will be a very large incentive for an ASIC developer to release a chip which takes the crytographic flaw into effect.  Until that happens you could see (hypothetically) a period of time where the average GPU can out hash a high end ASIC. 

I'm doubtful that an ASIC developer would release a chip that makes use of a broken hash function. The chance would be too high that Bitcoin would switch to a new algorithm, rendering their new (and old) chips worthless.
