Wonder what happened to gkelly?
over 7900 BTC remaining at 15Z5YJaaNSxeynvr6uW6jQZLwq3n1Hu6RX
Last active on the forum around April 2010, last activity at the address Oct 2010. Hope they still have the private key, would suck to have lost it because you didn't think they were worth much.
Wow, good catch. $160k worth of bitcoins... EDIT: Looks like he has a twitter that's active: https://twitter.com/gkelly |

The connection between the keys came from bitmarket.eu data which should be sufficiently acceptable as proof before court.
Interesting... So the thief funneled some of the money stolen from mralbi through bitmarket.eu, but didn't count on mralbi buying BitMarket and getting access to the database.  |

Keylogger is single biggest side channel attack hard to totoally avoid, it is time for bitcoin client utilize two factor authentication, and the second factor should be one time password, (based on time like RSA token or Google authenticator.
That won't work. One-time passwords (OTP) are based on a shared secret. (Both the web site you are logging in to and your token uses the same PRNG seed.) If you use it for a Bitcoin wallet, then the secret has to be stored in the wallet itself, which doesn't provide any extra security. |

I agree that names are too political and probably won't be accepted by bitcoiners. Ultimately though, I believe that fractions of bitcoins will have nicknames. Saying "0.0000001 BTC" is not practical.
That would be 10 satoshis. or 0.10 microcoins (µBTC). |

Usually Sunday is counted as the first day of the week, so "the week of the 10th" means the 10th through the 16th. That is pretty standard time measurement.
Monday is the first day of the week in Europe, and also in the ISO standard. You Americans and your weird measurements...  |

The default fee amount should be 0.001 BTC, with a minimum of 0.0001 BTC
You should just be able to change the amount in the text field in Preferences and then press 'Apply changes'.
In English the amount is written, say, "0.001" but if you have your language as, say, French or Spanish it will be "0,001"
I have the decimal separator set to ",", however MultiBit (0.4.15) uses "." everywhere. (Windows XP with a customized en-US locale.) |

Requiring a btc payment would
1. Make this Wiki an unattractive target for spammers,
2. Increase the probability that editor has at least basic understanding of how Bitcoin works, and
3. Provide small but important income stream that can be diverted to raising awareness, for example by donating to btc-accepting nonprofits.
I don't see any problem with this. 4chan implemented an option to bypass captcha by paying an anual fee (bitcoins accepted). It seems to be working fine for them.
Also, who pays the bills for hosting the Wiki?
AFAIK, it's hosted by MagicalTux. Has anyone tried to contact him? |

I have started development of the Texas Holdem software based on HTML5. It will be the first rake-free poker room! Stay tuned!
Uh, no. There have been plenty of rake-free poker rooms. For some reason they all fail to attract customers though. |

What's the Reddit Freeroll???
Just a 2BTC freeroll with a password that we'll give out via reddit. There is a Seals subreddit, http://www.reddit.com/r/sealswithclubs that's where the password will be some time on Tuesday. You should post in /r/poker too. |

Bitcoin is already difficult for non-techies to grasp, let's not add to the confusion by using a word already in very widespread use with very precise meaning (=Internet). Grandmas and grandmas won't get the joke.
I think everyone of us, when writing here or anywhere else, calls 0.5 BTC "0.5 BTC", so therefore it should just say 0.5 BTC on the coin. Simple as that!
I agree, I think the coin should say "0.5 Bitcoin" Coins don't normally have decimals on them. How about "˝ Bitcoin"? |

Hi Phelix,
That is a good question.
Unfortunately the encryption code is not ready for general release yet mainly because the wallet format is still changing. It is improving - there will be a wallet master key that you can print off and use to reset your password if you forget it and I have a set of suggestions to go through from Mike to do. (He reviewed all the encryption code recently).
The wallet master key is Alan Reiner's idea - apparently forgetting your password is not that uncommon - with the current MultiBit encrypted wallets if you forget your password you are stuck trying to brute force it.
It's probably weeks of work to do it all.
The current beta code is ok if you know what you are doing (ie understand private keys and back things up) but it is not ready for the general user yet.
Hm... What's needed right now is a better alternative to Bitcoin-Qt for newbies that don't want to spend several days downloading gigabytes of blockchain. I would recommend MultiBit if it had wallet encryption. The feature you describe above sounds useful, but is it really worth spending time on it now? How about pushing that to 0.6+, and releasing a 0.5 with the same type of wallet encryption that Bitcoin-Qt has? MultiBit has an opportunity to increase its "market share" now while Bitcoin-Qt sucks, that may go away when ultraprune arrives. |

The concept of mining makes the folk suspicious. Creating money out of thin air? Blasphemy!
How about explaining it like this instead: All 21 million bitcoins were instantly created when Satoshi designed the algorithm. They just haven't all been distributed yet. That way the mental image will hopefully be coins being taken out of a vault somewhere and given to the miners, rather than the miners creating coins out of thin air. |

2012-07-12 is July 12, 2012.
perhaps what is meant is 2012-12-07?
Year-Day-Month format. Extremely unusual. This is standardized in ISO-8601. Nobody in his right mind would use YYYY-DD-MM, because it looks like an ISO-8601 date. It is always YYYY-MM-DD. But of course the world is a madhouse, and there are always some idiots around. +1 million |
