Yeap, I'm learning and trying. There are clients that other people are developing, hopefully it will force the developer of the mainline bitcoin client to quicken their pace. |

It doesn't mean it's not true. |

It doesn't mean it's not true. Nobody's arguing that. But just posting another thread complaining about the same things over and over is utterly pointless. |

... what else is new? https://www.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin -> fork -> ... -> pull request -> profit! If you want to improve UI https://www.github.com/laanwj/bitcoin-qt -> (same) BTW: wallet encryption is in the latest git version of the core (not yet in -qt, I'm working on that), please help testing if you feel naked |
Bitcoin Core developer [PGP] Warning: For most, coin loss is a larger risk than coin theft. A disk can die any time. Regularly back up your wallet through File → Backup Wallet to an external storage or the (encrypted!) cloud. Use a separate offline wallet for storing larger amounts. |

If you use an application that deals with money, on Windows, expect to get robbed. I think that's what he's getting at, and I agree. |

I think that statement is pretty bold, and partially incorrect. windows is not just some platform you can magically just infect and get someones wallet. using ad block plus and firefox alone will prevent a good 80% of almost all threats from simply browsing the web, ad on top of the myWOT and you have a good free defense, assuming you browse smart and don't click on obvious stupid stuff. 99% of the time the user must click something to compromise their system. linux suffers from similar flaws, except most linux users are smart. and linux does not allow things to run and such, so most exploits cant get in, and the ones that do, will not run because they were made for windows. although windows is by no means as secure as a properly configured linux machine, but not to the extent you describe. |

If you use an application that deals with money, on Windows, expect to get robbed. I think that's what he's getting at, and I agree. You and him are both WRONG. If you're running a genuine version of Windows 7, with all Windows updates installed and current, and a strong user password with some good anti virus (I recommend Norton or Kaspersky) you will be fine. It's not Bitcoins fault that there are people on Windows Xp bundled with Avast thinking that they are safe... |
