1  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: 📖🎂 Cloudbet’s Bitcoin Blogiversary Competition - 0.21 BTC prize pool! 🎂 📖 on: May 04, 2019, 04:47:08 PM
This is my favourite article: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/9846-bitcoin-is-dead because I love the notion that bitcoin cannot be defeated, and that it is a honeybadger, doesn't matter what you throw at it it'll keep coming back. And it's a great infographic as well. Finally, it is a great reminder that 'experts' are frequently wrong.

These are my 3 questions:
1) What proportion of all outstanding bitcoin have an exposed public key (due to a transaction being made from the address) and are therefore, in theory, vulnerable to an attack by a future quantum computer, and is this a problem?
2) If bitcoin becomes a global store of value, is it dangerous to have 1m owned be a single individual (Satoshi)? Consider the power an individual with $1trn would hold today. Should the community move to burn Satoshi's tokens?
3) Is bitcoin's simplicity, its lack of features and its resistance to change, a good thing? Are these features or bugs?
2  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Mistertango - Bitcoin friendly European Bank Account + free MasterCard on: January 09, 2018, 02:23:16 PM
Guys I would like to use mistertango to send EUR to bitstamp. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be anywhere for me to put a reference- bitstamp obviously requires a reference so that they know which account to credit.

There is a 'reason for the payment' field but I can't tell if this is just stored locally or is actually visible to the recipient.

Also someone on another thread said that each transfer made with mistertango includes 'sent from mistertango' which doesn't sound good to me.

TLDR Can I use mistertango to send EUR to bitstamp?
3  Other / Meta / Chances of getting hacked account back when I didn't stake my address? on: December 02, 2017, 02:00:55 PM
The evidence that I am the original owner is pretty strong in that I have access to the original email address that my account was attached to for 3 years until it was hacked last week.
