A successful attack through the host essentially requires human agent interaction, as opposed to the automated process of searching for a wallet.dat file...
i assume an automated attack coming from the host for a wallet.dat would turn up nothing even with the VM open? an even simpler question, encryption doesn't help an open VM, correct? |

that by putting one's wallet inside a VM, it becomes much more secure, if not impossible for a gubmint entering your pc via the VM to get out of it and access your IP address thru the native OS and connected router. is this accurate? If you know exactly what you're doing when you set up the virtualized environment and make no mistakes, and if there are no zero-day exploits in your host OS virtualization software, and if whatever method you use to allow the guest OS to talk to the network at large is perfectly anonymous and private, then maybe that's true. i know you know what you're talking about so please give us recommendations. like the NAT vs bridged? what about Shared Folders? a no no? what do you think about VMWare Fusion? |

Hopefully good news but lets not get ahead of ourselves, that payment address so far has about $23 in it.
Is not about how many bitcoins they have in that account. Is about a big company promoting bitcoin to all the world. no question. |

I Love Vladdy! Who wouldn't trust somebody who looks like this? Just kidding my friend!:  |

Soooooooooooo tired of $150 already.
$140 was torture. Weeks ... and weeks. But it made my financial advisor shut up about volatility. Almost worth the price of admission there.
But yes im ready for $160. lol ..
and now he'll have something to complain about once again! |

If there are no catastrophic events, the "Internet kill switch" will be a moot issue within three years. There may still be the potential for continental separation, but methods exist for communication even at transoceanic distances without relying on cables or satellites. With geographically diversified mining resources, Bitcoin will be effectively unbreakable at that point.
That is when Bitcoin will start truly eroding gold's position as a monetary asset, after fiat currencies have been proven bettered by crypto.
Now you have brought up an interesting problem: can someone(e.g., superpowerful alphabet agencies) actually manage to exert control on the whole network by manipulating what's being sent through the cables? Maybe when we get all super-rich with bitcoins we need to construct our own submarine fiber systems, secured by quantum cryptography which is resistant to both sabotage and quantum computing. Well that's the thing. He's talking about radio waves. Not sure how manipulable those are. You still have limited range and routers/repeaters. That's where the network is vulnerable to manipulation. i guess the thinking goes that if and when the entire internet is down, the gubmint will have it's hands full trying to bring it back up, let alone trying to take meshnets down. I agree there. It would be good if bitcoin natively used secure sockets and random ports. It isn't very susuceptible to manipulating packet contents, but at some point we may want it to be harder to identify bitcoin traffic. let me ask your opinion and that of the other tech experts here on something runeks said over in Reddit. that by putting one's wallet inside a VM, it becomes much more secure, if not impossible for a gubmint entering your pc via the VM to get out of it and access your IP address thru the native OS and connected router. is this accurate? and does it depend on whether one's network adapter uses NAT or bridged? i have been assuming this is the case since day 1. |

lasers + satellites  To the moon. And here I would have linked an article about the experimental 100+mB laser link to the LADEE satellite but the site is down because of the USG partial shutdown. Its amazing how these government computers require constant human intervention whereas my servers run for weeks, even a whole year, without any intervention. I have visions of uniformed employees running in man sized gerbil exercisers powering these devices... zerg, thanx for keeping us updated. how hard would it be to graph the results? we must be close to an all time high? |

Tim,
when do you anticipate the gold and silver coins to be available? hopefully some with this same design pattern which is beautiful.

of course it's not a new argument but then again they've never had such a new tool.

As always, the subject is artificially misleading...
It's not the Baidu itself. Shame on you!
Is Google+ Google? If Google+ accepts bitcoin, is it Google itself accepting bitcoin? Baidu Jiashule is a service provided by Baidu (BIDU): http://jiasule.baidu.com/overview/ (I'm not going to translate for you). Do you think a random service can abuse a NASDAQ listed company name without being sued? the runup in price the other nite on BTCChina strongly implies this is legit. |

you really think they'll have a hard time figuring that one out? |

care to provide some evidence of that other than a 3 Jupiter order i held for 2 wks mid summer which i promptly cancelled once i decided on HF?
Well, seeing as you don't have a KNC order, your reasons for posting here are self-evident. Troll-feeding disengaged. No more cypherdoc quoting or responding from me. Ignored :-) i don't think it's as self evident as you might think. my intent was to just leave that comment i left above and walk away. yet, as i should have expected an over the top KNC Warrior stepped forward with a personal attack, just like he did throughout my endorsement thread. yes i have a HF order, yes i don't have a KNC order. but no, my intent is NOT to promote HF in here one bit. i've made clear i am no longer paid, not a rep, nor an employee of HF. my intent is to highlight tactics of certain individuals throughout this forum who appear to act out of their own self interest by attacking others connected to companies they don't have orders placed with. of course i had self interest in my endorsement which is why i revealed that fact in the very first sentence of my endorsement post. i don't see the Warriors here having done the same. remember i didn't post in this thread until just a few nights ago so you can't accuse me of trying to disrupt KNC pre-orders. what's particularly interesting about this time currently is those who appear to be coming out of this debacle unscathed and their order position/size while at the same time having been the most vicious defenders of KNC over the summer. now they seem to be at it again, vigorously defending the company while many others suffer. i'll leave it at that unless someone else attacks me. |

There was no trolling of your thread, you are as crooked as they come and were called out on that, which just so happened to be in that thread.
care to provide some evidence of that other than a 3 Jupiter order i held for 2 wks mid summer which i promptly cancelled once i decided on HF? as far as crooked, i see you didn't reveal the fact you had 11 Jupiters from a day 1 order while you continuously trolled my thread for no good reason. Cypherdoc, go and start a new thread. Off topic and boring. We went through all of this "getting personal" stuff on a very, very dull Sunday. donch, all i did was make an observation not directed at any particular person. and look how Bargraphics attacked me with "you are as crooked as they come". |

Funny. I continue to notice a direct correlation between who most trolled my endorsement thread and their number of KNC miners they ordered as well as their early position in the order queue.

Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

what ever happened to your Meshnet project?
It's developing rapidly, and will provide Bitcoin services in the near future. One sticking point is wallets - they still need to mature further before mass usage is realistically feasible. Well done. Keep up the good work on a necessary and worthwhile project. |
