+ If you can prove they sell illegal goods in all jurisdictions
It is illegal in several jurisdictions. Even having sex with children recording it and selling the video would be legal in some countries.... |

I'm glad the new board members are having an impact. Not particularly professional how things have been handled, imho, but the fact is that things are being discussed openly, and that's a good thing. The foundation is what the members make of it. I think lack of funds will make it easier to set priorities...
The impact of someone bitching about BF management on reddit for easy karma? I'm waiting for them to actually get things done before I'm praising them... |

Every year * only in Turkey there are more than 1 million accidents in traffic. Let's ban (remove) all cars from traffic then. Are you really comparing people knowingly selling illegal goods to accidents in traffic? If 1 million people sold stolen cars in Turkey should that be tolerated? |

Almost NO ONE can withstand torture. If giving away the decoy BTC wallets does not stop .gov, then nothing will. Once the torture starts for real, you would give them the others.
But, it is worth a try to let them have the decoys first.
If I was working in law enforcement I guess I would tell my co-workers to increase the use of torture against Bitcoin users who are under investigation for serious crimes after reading your post. |

Privacy is key for bitcoin so disclosing stuff should not be mandatory ESPECIALLY address and phone number since that can lead to a lot more serious bad things. This is a forum not a bank with bank security so leaving very private information like that on a
Your experience with Bitcoin is going to be more disappointing if you're sending money that can't be claimed back to people you don't know. Privacy for buyers works in most cases unless you're trading BTC. |

And also, how do we know things they provide are legit? How can we know that staffs aren't whitelisting their acquaintances? How can we know the staff itself is selling such keys? etc...
How about only allowing software sales for people who are wiling to disclose their full name, address and phone number - so if it's not legit you can report them to the police. |

I recently (April 4) received many negative ratings from new accounts - that guy copied my own comments --> 0/10 for effort.
I didn't give a bad rating to symantec, but maybe he maintains more than one bitcointalk account

Xapo, do you think that all people are idiots unable to administer their own belongings? And your mission is to help poor, undecided people and store their private keys in your online vault? Because there - in you hands people's keys are forever safe. And no hackers, nor any other calamity could ever take out these keys... Right...
Maybe you can do it, but the vast majority (99%+) of the world population has no idea how to protect their computers - even people who worked as "IT security experts" for years occasionally fail to keep Bitcoins secure (e.g. Antonopolous). |
