Yeah I saw that and had to chuckle. |

...Sign a message with any one of the addresses from which your funds were supposedly stolen.
How does one even do that? I'm not sure that it's possible in blockchain.info, but in the QT client, there's a button that says "sign message" or something like that. I see, thanks. I'd entirely overlooked that, but in retrospect it's always been a feature that one can prove identity via ownership of an address. |

I am not convinced this has anything to do with Android. I've seen some chatter about brute-forcing attacks against blockchain.info wallets. Is it possible some older wallets have passwords that aren't strong enough? The b.i KDF is SHA1 repeated only a handful of times, iirc, because JavaScript is slow.
Is it possible someone found a way to download all wallets from blockchain.info and just started bruting 'em? Maybe someone found a list of identifiers and is just pulling them as they have time. They did have those security issues recently... |

I was asked to run Java last time I logged in to Blockchain.info. Is this supposed to happen? Think I'll transfer my Bitcoins to a paperwallet to be on the safe side...
o_O people still have Java installed? After the latest problems I ditched that sh!t and haven't looked back. How many zero-days is it responsible for now? 105% of them? |

Are BFL and Avalon the only committed companies so far?
How about KNCminer? I suppose it's still a bit early to consider them, no shipping dates other than the vague mention of 'summer.' |

Paying the $2800 up-front only makes sense if you're going to buy the 250gh monster that comes after, for $2k less. So the 6gh/sec is only $800 with that taken into consideration. Not bad really.
That gives them seed money to pay for their process. And if you missed BFL/Avalon, this is the best thing going now.

Do you think "satoshi" will ever just randomly log in one day and post something?
No. He's still here, I suspect, but retaining that identity was unnecessarily dangerous. It seems as if that would be the only way for "satoshi" to ever be proven to be who he is.
Now I very much doubt he intends to do this, but there are certainly other and more reliable ways: signing a message indicating his identity with an address that's provably his (e.g. the genesis block reward address), for one. I agree that he's here and around, he's just abandoned that hot account. No need for it anymore. Secondly, he still has the other private key to put out messages over the bitcoin-client network notification system; only him and Gavin can do that afaik, so he can still prove his identity and get emergency messages out if need be. |

Canadian guy here, just heard about bitcoins a couple months ago, and I live off the grid with no high-speed internet, so can't get in on the action yet.
I stayed up all night reading this forum, some of Morpheus's stuff about Goldcoin and stablecoin, and I am fascinated. I see a day when there will be hundreds of distributed currencies, like Googlecoin, Exxoncoin, IBMcoin, GEcoin, maybe even Labourcoin (tagged to the value of 1 hour of unskilled labor) and so on, and a bunch of exchanges, and people will have highly diversified portfolios of currency, trading globally, without interference. Despite what the Europeans are doing, and the Americans and the British, with their kleptocratic QE schemes and so on, a free market will arise, based on physical wealth. As an anarcho-capitalist, this truly gives me hope.
Eh, I dunno bro. Firstly, there's not much advantage to having a basket of currencies. Ideally in theoretic terms you'd have a single worldwide currency. That wasn't practical with fiat money, but it is with bitcoin. As for "labourcoin," there's no set value to 1 hour of unskilled labor, so it's a useless concept. Also an ancap here. |

Keep it legit. Declare your gains, and remember that if you're making money, then you shouldn't mind paying taxes.
Because taxes are legit? Don't think so. Taxation is at best extortion. Pay your taxes because they have no problem bringing the full weight of the law down on you for not letting them steal the wealth you produce from you. But otherwise don't agree that taxation is legitimate, it's not. |

I'm here to offer my retouching/ photoshop services to the market place, and also to perhaps contribute in other ways to the bitcoin community. I've been lurking for some time and so far I find the community as a whole quite inspiring. There's a couple reddits devoted to that stuff too, /r/bitcoinjobs and the like |

Does anyone still read these? I'm Ben. I develop software and am setting up a 4.5 TH/s mining op with my business partner. Here's a super basic talk I gave a few weeks ago as an intro to Bitcoin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBekhTHZNsU. I'm also just getting into Ripple. I read it Are you guys going to build an ASIC for personal use? |

Anenome5:
Yea, I have a basic idea for a design which should be relatively cheap ($30-40) when mass produced, and offer pretty much the same protection as a paper wallet, but a ton more convenient.
Raspberry pi base? Open source? I know the peeps here will rake your idea over the coals in terms of security model and won't trust anything not opn-src. I think there should be a way to instantly disable it irreversibly, should a thief demand it from you, in a way that is robustly assured. Anyway, that device is sorely needed, so I wish you good luck! Get your account out of newbie and let's see some details Maybe you can get peeps to invest come coin in it. |

I'm Rishodi. I'm a libertarian philosophically and a software engineer by trade, so Bitcoin quickly captivated my interest when I first learned about it ~2 years ago. I've been a long-time lurker on these forums, and I can occasionally be found on /r/bitcoin as well. I figured I should make an effort to get more actively involved, as I strongly want to see Bitcoin succeed.
Ossum. I'm a libertarian as well, and want to build a seastead, ASAP, but rather than software engineering I'm a literary writer type Tho I want to learn programming soon too. |

I had made a decision recently to begin mining. Mining is going to be the cheapest way to obtain bitcoin in the near future as price skyrockets. And the Avalon devices are proven and shipped. So why not.
