tl;dr -- theymos released PMs related to BFL and that's why, OP created this thread.


Not you again. I am tired of with your trolling. Weren't you already banned for a few times for trolling? -x_x-

Confirmed. My post was pushed even though the page didn't load.

Please sign a message from an address you posted. The post must be unedited.

Your Bitcointalk account doesn't have a value of 0.15BTC. Value of collateral must be at least equal to loan amount but most lenders prefer 110%.

Do you have any other things to offer as collateral?

A signed message isn't necessary and it is duty of the user who stake address to ensure he/she can sign a message from it.

A new thread wasn't necessary, IMHO. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1067985.0;all

Thank you, theymos! Keep up the good work!

Anyone going after the hacker?


2FA will be in the new forum software but now, I think, implementing in current software will be good.

There is a slight numbering mistake in your post.

Multiple threads is allowed if those threads serve different purposes. IMHO second and fourth are valid.

Untrusted feedback score can easily be manipulated. It won't have any "good" use.

Numbers in trust rating increases only if you get positive feedback from default trust list users.

Can you please be more specific on how this service works? I didn't understand you correctly. I might be able to make my answer better if you can give more details.


Why is it "impossible"?


Right.


I don't know why implementing an SPV client is impossible. If that is true, then online wallet is your best choice if you know what you are doing. Else, I suggest you to create a block explorer and allow API requests. Then, you can create a simple app which uses this API. You can do that in four steps:

 • Fetch unspent.
 • Create raw transaction.
 • Sign raw transaction.
 • Push signed raw transaction.


A ledger is important if you are creating an online wallet. You should backup this ledger and all private keys or wallet.dat either twice every 24 hours or when users create x addresses.

I highly recommend you not to keep everything in the hot wallet unless your security is good enough. I would also suggest to enable off-chain transactions but remember, this will make your part more complex.

Last user who donated 10BTC is fluffypony - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=94840. I think he donated it in April as 'Donate' page was last updated in April. The value of Bitcoin was probably between $235 and $250.

I think this is good idea but it will be unfair if someone get 'Donator' status for <10BTC. So this may not work. Anyway, I would like to here others' views on this.

I assume BayAreaCoins is in your trust list and his rating is new. Hence, you will see that rating. FYI he is still green for me.

You can use Electrum merchant feature in the same way use Blockchain.info API but in a more secure way.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117199.0 and https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/.

P.S. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-generated-addresses-are-not-showing-in-electrum to know about gap limits.

There aren't many to start an overview thread.

Who said to you that a Bitcoin wallet *with* many restrictions and which prevent us to access private keys is *more* secure than other wallets?

I don't think that would be a good idea and I don't think it will work. He will hesitate to donate 10BTC although he can spend same amount in dividends. That is a nature of human(exclude people leading luxurious lives).


+1. Forum doesn't need any money more. So I doubt we will see more donator ranks. At the current value of BTC, 10 and/or 50 BTC is very high for a rank but users need some "status". So they are asking for smaller donator ranks. Maybe 5 BTC?

I don't think you are a scammer but (~$100) is ~2x of the bounties you ever paid. So it is better to escrow the funds.

What you said have higher chance but this is not true in all cases. They have pushed a buggy code earlier and their wallet also generated signatures with low randomness. This is very dangerous. Who knows they won't push a buggy code again? However, till now, they are very trustworthy and that is one of the main reasons I suggest Blockchain.info over other online wallets. It is possible they are doing a long con.
