While I agree with 100% of what you are saying I think that the 'throw away' blank back is an opportunity for education.  Assume we had a good repeating pattern with the bitcoin logo and WeUseCoins.com at a diagonal (think the sponsor graphics behind people at press conferences).

You hand a bill to someone and they ask (WTF is bitcoin?) you can flip it over and they have all the info they need.  It is also very easily customized for each person printing but doesn't tie a bill design to any given site.  You could even use a mixture of sites if you wanted.

Another benefit to this approach is that it would be very easy to print if designed to either: 1) fill an entire sheet, or  2) just be bigger than the bills themselves.  Then you just trim the bills as normal and don't have to worry about the background.

In fact there could even be a tiny opportunity to provide pre-printed linen paper for those who want to print there own bills.

Hrm... not sure many people would want to see their interface in pirate as of late.

Especially considering the author is a bitcoiner.

I keep a blank one in my pocket for flipping.  Makes a nice *ting* noise.

That is not very conforming that there has been no news to asset issuers.  I really hope that you don't get a knock on your door one day nasty

Agreeded.  Are you using another wallet? Or perhaps a service like one of the dice?  You normally shouldn't get double spends unless something out of the ordinary is going on.

You didn't lose your coins. Wait until the transaction fall off and you will have them back.

I am in the boat as you... Was right before the drop and I was going to use sell them on GOX.

Any idea when we may see the 0.5.x version?

When you do something about it.

Are there any rules about socks?

Same here

This is a cool idea, especially when combined with the fiat currency.

It could be one of those things that they see it but it doesn't really register until they get a bill in their hands.

Perhaps being 1st wasn't good luck.

Here we go again!

That is at least some good news.  At least we should have a very nice dividend payment when you finally get the info.

I have not gotten anything; however my balance was essentially dust.

I am sure that he will 'give' it back anyway.

Any news from GLBSE on your end Nasty?

Someone posts a pic with that girl and you guys can't stop talking about the guy.....

Invest in jellybeans!

Password re-use is never a good idea.

What 'funny feeling'?  That is a pretty strong accusation coming from a low post forum account against piuk.  Something tells me that there would be many more 'interesting' account for them to 'steal' if he were so inclined.

I am pretty sure that you don't understand how the service works given that this is near impossible (as others have pointed out).

Knowing and communicating the password to the server are two entirely different things (also as others have pointed out).  Why would they risk their reputation to steel random piddly accounts?

I think you need to re-educate yourself with the meaning of irony: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/irony

This is of course a personal decision and there is no right way for 100% of the people.  Personally I have like BCI because an un-encrypted version of my wallet never hits my disk.

Sorry to be so negative, but attacks on long standing services / members irritate the hell out of me, especially when done from sock/low count accounts.
