It seems to me that your security features don't solve the core problem: bad server scripting.

bitcoind, when configured correctly, is a reasonably secure daemon.  Using the config, you can block all traffic thats not from localhost or 127.0.0.1, and add basic authentication requirements.  The problem, it seems, is in the server script, allowing access to the bitcoin daemon to any random script kiddie that passes by.  Even by using time-release transactions and coldstorage wallets, anyone who knows what they're doing (if your scripts are insecure) can just add their transaction to the stack, to be processed later.


What are your thoughts on this design?

You're done with Bitcoin because Paypal is crap and allows people to rip you off?

That doesn't seem to make much sense.

Wouldn't it make more sense to give up on Paypal?


Paypal is in fact the reason I became interested in bit coin. They charge huge fees and claim they insure transactions, but they charge you the original payment in case of a refund. They keep the fees and falsely claim that they insured the purchase.

I would love to see a trustable version of Paypal for Bitcoin that actually ensures the transactions.

Mainstream adaption can take anywhere between 5-30 years.

Bitcoin isn't very old. It has a ways to go.

Curious where you found / calculated this from?
