This sounds great, but a hard fork requires critical mass to succeed. What's to stop large pool operators from not upgrading?

Seems legit. I think most people had assumed that DRP's stash would remain under his control, looks like that isn't the case. What do we think, newbies?

I read about a user who created an offline wallet using a list of 10 questions, the answers to which made up the passphrase. This is interesting because he doesn't have to remember the passphrase itself, but it can be recreated by him or potentially anyone who gets access to the paper, but only if they know him well enough. Anyone else have opinions or interesting takes on cold storage?
