Saw a 'place holder' product appearing. By the time my deposit made it to WalletBit the checkout isn't working and the 'place holder' disappeared + lost the WalletBit fees.

FML what a mess.

You need to be rated at least once before you rate someone else.

How much security does Yubi key really add if your PC is compromised?

Im not sure I fully understand this; if the attacker has root access to my PC, he can show me whatever he wants, and send something else to Mt Gox. All he would have to do is wait for me to do whatever transaction that requires the yubi key, provide Mt gox with a different transaction instead, show me the challenge for that fraudulent transaction and make me confirm it.

Im no expert, never used mtgox or yubi key,  but what am I missing?
You are right in the case of a sophisticated attacker but most of them are script kiddies who log only username and password. With Yubi key or Google Authenticator you prevent most attack imo.

The ARGUS array is made up of several cameras and other types of imaging systems. The output of the imaging system is used to create extremely large, 1.8GP high-resolution mosaic images and video.

The U.S. Army, along with
Boeing, has developed and is preparing to deploy a new unmanned aircraft
called the “Hummingbird.” It’s is a VTOL-UAS (vertical take-off and

Afghanistan for a full year to survey and spy on Afghanistan from an
altitude of 20,000 feet with the ability to scan 25 square miles of
ground surface.

I mean peer-to-peer system like in BitTorrent and Bitcoin. If we could have an exchange connected to the conventional banking system build on a decentralised infrastructure it would be impossible to shutdown.
I think I'm getting you here - and if I have and this is new might it be more appropriate to have a new thread somewhere like projects to discuss this?

So are we talking about an open source p2p system with something like a distributed blockchain whereby I download the client that uses something like UseMyFunds to log into my bank account.  If I'm selling my fiat the client verifies I have the funds available and places the order on the p2p exchange.  Likewise if selling Bitcoin I give an address that the client verifies with the Bitcoin blockchain.  The client displays the orderbook with everybody's orders as if it were a private central-server-based exchange service and transfers Bitcoin and fiat between accounts and addresses when a transaction is made.  It would require a substantial amount of trust but I sort-of see that as potentially working.
Yes something like this but as you said the main problem is trust. Fiat transaction are reversible.
If it were from the bank's perspective just a personal payment and the bank had no idea what the transaction is about how would the scammer go about telling the bank it ought be reversed?  It's not like a credit card transaction with warranties etc. built in.

p2p exchange that requires no trust, might be possible for BTC/LTC or any other crypto currency

and their is SOME chance of making it work with fiat using the Mint Chip.

but please move this nonsense into another thread, some of us have some serious trolling to do if we are to bring down the price using only words  Grin
Okay

What we need is a reliable peer-to-peer exchange. The problem is to connect this system to the fiat economy...

it already is.  i've got my connection down to 7h via wire exchanges.  and even if gox gets shutdown, the connection will always be there on the streets via person to person exchange.
Gox is not peer-to-peer. What I'm talking about is a completely online peer-to-peer exchange where you could wire money. Maybe in your area you can find other peoples to do in person exchange but in my are there is none.

do you really mean wire?  b/c that would depend on the banks.
