I think a large number of people use VPN to access services blocked by the country they live in.

I keep my 'firewall' with me at all times.   Lolz, are you in a war country or something? I am sure you are in Iraq or Afghanistan and third country is USA  really who wants a monitor that big? and come on is that Windows XP? |

I think your logic is generally correct. That's why a lot of people will suggest keeping larger value wallets off-line.
I don't fully understand the Bitcoin network, but wouldn't running QT leave you vulnerable to the below scenario?
Step 1: I decide to become an evil hacker, so I learn how to hack.
Step 2: I run a modified version of the QT client, which prints out a list of all the other nodes on the bitcoin network that are visible to me.
Step 3: I take my big list of IP addresses, and using my logical skills I deduce that a lot of those IPs correspond to machines with bitcoin wallets on them.
Step 4: I try to penetrate as many of the machines with those IPs as possible, install keyloggers on any that I can break into, and grab any wallets that I can find.
Step 5: Profit?
What's the flaw in my plan? Is step 4 just extremely hard?

nice video, nice idea. I'm going to try and explore some details.

there are a few of us  But I'm actually wanting to go to NH for the FSP. |

how did it go? is there a video recording by chance?

good job! I could really see bitcoin being good for the youth. I remember when I was a young teen, I would have loved to find a way to get paid online, but it was so hard without a credit card or bank account.

I don't know how to help you here, but I've quit using paypal awhile ago because they were always locking my account.

pretty funny and well done. I'm guessing he making fun of the women driving ban in Syria or wherever they have that sort of thing.

Maybe the best solution would be to have another coin just for Mars, then there could be a rather slow trade market.

of course mining for heat isn't going to be an efficient way of heating, but maybe you could make a sound proofish box for the GPU miner?

Yeah I will for sure, if I end up doing something with it. I'm an IT project manager, I've have various technical jobs in the past, but even still this raspberry pi stuff is a nice challenge. You can see some of the other projects I'm working on or thinking about working on here. ecurb.info

thats nice, have you thought about showing the price in USD or CHF?
|

mostly PPC, LTC and TRC
have a few others which are pretty much not worth anything at all.

Do we really think that taking the 26k BTC out really changed the market price?

Also looks like your code is way different than mine, I'm also new to development so I'm going to check out the code closer tomorrow when I get a chance.
Hey, I replied to you on Youtube. Your idea is pretty cool. It's definitely nothing that I imagined in implementation, but as far as what our ideas do, things seem pretty similar. I actually don't have the code for the tip jar uploaded yet. What is on Github is the code for the notifications Chrome extension, which is a totally unrelated project (though works similarly). Ah yeah I see now. But when you get a chance I'd like to see the code. While I was driving to work today I was thinking about making a fully contained wallet, meaning with the full blockchain on it. It would be like a physical hardware wallet. I could see it being able to send a receive coins. |

I'd suggest avoiding Bitcoin as a gift unless they are already into it or are very curious. Considering the difficulty in finding somewhere to spend it or to convert it to fiat, it will most likely become lost coins and not really be appreciated.
I don't think so, I think it's easy to spend BTC, really there are sites everywhere taking BTC, it's just too hard to get bitcoin. |

This is a cool idea I might think about doing it too. But I think a nicely made paper wallet with instructions would be really cool.

I could see this being a fiction book.
