Are you sure?  I can't recall mine ever asking for less than .005 BTC.

I know that it's not easy, I'm concerned that it's possible.  It takes government level cryptologists to reverse a twice used one-time-pad, but it can be done.  And deterministic wallets are not standard at all.  As far as I know, Electrum & Brainwallet are the only two examples of it in use in Bitcoin, and Brainwallet seems to use Electrum code to do it, so the methods are identical.

I have a question concerning the method of deterministic keypair generation that the Electrum client uses.  My understanding is that a 128 bit random number is created for the 'seed', and that all followup keypairs are derived from this number.  The number is represented outside of the client as a set of twelve English words.  While I can see this as pretty slick, I thought of a potential problem.  In cryptography, the Vernam Cipher or the one-time pad is considered an unbreakable code without the key; however it's called a one-time pad because if the key is reused even once, it's possible for a crytographer to derive the original key from the two encrypted codes, so long as he knows that they belong together.  While I would doubt that taking two bitcoin addresses produced by the same Electrum client can be used to reproduce the seed, a large number of them known to come from the same user (and thus the same client) potentially could be used to reproduce the seed of that user, thus laying open that user's entire balance to theft.  What algo does Electrum use to produce the keypairs, specificly?  And is it known to be hardened against this kind of attack?  I don't wish to diparage Electrum, but this potential attack vector with deterministic wallets honestly concerns me, and I don't see this addressed elsewhere.

    def stretch_key(self, seed):
        oldseed = seed
        for i in range(100000):
            seed = hashlib.sha256(seed + oldseed).digest()
        return string_to_number(seed)

Why should it matter? Even if it gets intercepted for having mysterious powder in it I am sure it smells like cleaning detergent when you open it... Not like its going to come in a vacuum sealed smelly proof packaging looking suspicious. I would almost think "DETERGENT" on the bag would make it look sketchier. Just my 2 cents. 

Nope, this is elliott wave theory guys, the price is gonna hit $30, then $100.  Bitcoin is undervalued, now that people understand it, they will hold tight, the market matured significantly since last summer's high of $31.90.  Perhaps, we could see $100 before the end of the year

Really about the 'System D' economy, of which Bitcoin is a small part.

Uh sure if there's 1 node, unfortunately this is a problem that every node has to deal with. I can't possibly imagine how someone who works on bitcoin magazine and has 2,300 posts and I think his own bitcoin message board too would not understand the difference.

This seven minute clip from a recent Stossel episode explains some of the problems with Obamacare pretty well.
