Glad to hear people are using it other than to just trade for cash or on gambling and SR.
don't forget porn. after all that's what the internet was made for. |

so really the whole thread is pointless? the government can just take you and make up shit and just detain you forever?

You keep coming up with hare-brained schemes that are very, very poorly though out. The BitPeace thing was a big example of this. You proposed selling self-defense weapons online without even bothering to research the legality of selling those items through the Internet. It's increasingly more obvious that you're a child with either a) a limited knowledge of how the real world works , b) subpar intelligence, or c) an inability to follow through with anything you do.
You can sell anything you want to on the internet, just make sure you wrap it up real good in a lead box or other container able to prevent xrays. |

never click links in emails you don't except. 100% of phishing resolved thank you have a nice day  |

This makes me want to go sell some stuff on public property, and secretly record it, and show what happens, but i am a pussy and will do no such thing  |

how can they prove that you are even able to decrypt it, or that you are the one to even encrypt it in the first place.

How long does it take and how much does it cost to download 3 TB over sub Atlantic cable? Now compare it with shipping via fedex a 3TB HDD. This is what I mean.
18 to 24 days, thats about how long it would take to go from US to europe but if i was going to transfer that much id upgrade to 60megabit consumer grade and it would only take 8 to 14 days, business around here can get a full 100megabit, both are unlimited. however upload would take weeks, in that case you would rent a box with 100mbit each way, with the box it would transfer way more data and be a lot easier. it would likely cost more but not much. and after shipping them HDs could only be used at most 5 times reliably. edit: only at most 24 seconds assuming they are gigabit optic. |

well i was thinking of more than just blocks, more like general raw data like secret leaked papers over 10k pages long and such.

In a scenario where the USA puts up a national firewall preventing miners/clients in the USA connecting with miners/clients elsewhere, would the blockchain fork into a USA chain and a rest of the world chain? And if so, would my current bitcoins be spendable independently on both chains? And then what would happen when the firewall came down again?
A great firewall of EU is also currently being discussed. We can use an updated version of RFC 1149 "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers". Have pigeons carry the encrypted and signed block chains on USB memory sticks to miners over seas. US air force fighter jets must be avoided at all costs for reliable operation. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149latency would kill us and bandwidth would cost a buttload of BC. |

You could get a new "identity" by dumping all your coins in a laundering service...
That's not entirely true, right? If you have a large sum of money you could overwhelm the launderer and end up receiving some of your own coins back. Even ONE would be enough to trip you up. |

You should be more worried about someone gaining over 50% of the network, that is much more likely than the US just deciding to attempt such a thing, and near impossible for them to achieve this goal.
If this became an issue, the bitcoin devs could just build gpu mining in the client. this should be set to turn on automatically, opt out only. then we would have a huge amount of people mining now, it would be far more power than any government could get. id estimate even all the cpu power would be enough. I am busy hedging against exactly this possibility LOL. Bitcoin is hardly being tapped as it is now. if BC does become global or even used in only a few countries, i really doubt you could own even 30%. everyone who has a hacked console will eventually get ports of bitcoin, a ps3 alone would have at least 100mh/s of hashing power per unit, assuming it can use its gpu power. assume on average 10mh per computer. http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/p23-207.pdf says 44m has computers with internet assume only 20m want money. 200000000mh/s is what you get with only 20m, thats just half of what the census says at only 10mh per computer. thats around 150-200 terahashes/s, if i calculate right. i would like to see you have anything close to 3 terahashes/s if you even tried to buy that much power you would inflate the prices of gpus so high you simply would not be able to afford it. this all assumes that bitcoin becomes mainstream and people are willing and do install the mainline software and don't disable the miner. and this does invade ethics, but it would be required to prevent a single entity from abusing power. |

I'm not sure I understand the article completely.
Dont people tend to use multiple addys? I know it seems to be a noob mistake to think that your old addys are no good as it changes right after you receive some coin.
and how can you link someones receive addresses with their send ones?
or is he just saying, if you collect your poker winnings with one address dont use that same address in your forum sigs?
if people only used one address for their questionable activity and then one for everything else, what else would the authories know besides money is traveling between a known illegal addy like silk road and and an address that a user only uses for that purpose?
I guess their are links between addies and IPs?
You could get a new "identity" by dumping all your coins in a laundering service and killing all your old addresses. if you needed you could use tor for all BC related stuffs. |

If it were an attack blocks would still be generated wouldn't they? unless a different attack was being done that i have not herd of yet.

Perhaps i should start selling carbon credits (in BTC of course) for not mining...
that only works if you are required to pay silly... |

how can you be sure that your browser was not involved in a man in the middle attack and that its certs were not tampered with. the only way you can know 100% sure the person you talk with on the internet is if you exchange keys in person.

you would be better off requesting that previous contacts post good references in addition to this.

How about just via email or twitter (splitting the blocks down to fit) or msn or heck like the joke RFC TCP over Social Network using Facebook  that's not nearly as cool as setting up massive mesh networks. |

I think the client needs to have a separate file for private keys and transaction data, if the wallet file does contain transaction data. a consolidate button would be nice too. that way, once or twice a month we could do that and have the coins in 1 neat and tidy address, so overall we would use less space in the blocks. sometimes i look in the explorer and see like 10 addresses give me like 1BC combined,kind of wasteful.
