Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

ya, like is the lack of trust why we have to post in the newbie section before we can reply to the thread that lead us to the sight? Wow, it took me 3 months to figure that one out. But this seems to be that place to be to hook up with fellow bitcoiners!

Bitcoins are too easy to steal. Then when somebody has them, they're gone! Never trust anonymous people on the internet. Even people that you can ID will rip you off sometimes.

I guess the best way for a newbie to start selling is if he/she agrees on the terms of the buyer, let it be escrow, sending the goods first, and so on. Hopefully the "community" eventually indeed lets others use the market here as well, to be able to convert assets to BTC.

For instance, your password clue file might say:
My standard password + My throwaway password (backwards, all caps) + &#$%@ + First two sentences of first paragraph of page 19 of my favorite book (include all capitalization and punctuation) + My wife's mother's middle name + My son's favorite superhero + My favorite number times 8734 + food my wife hates (backwards, all caps) + 9-digit number stored with my paper will + 10-character password stored in my safety deposit box + . . . . My god that is excessive. When I create passwords, I find a quotation or sentence I like (perhaps from a graphic novel). Then I memorize it. Suppose the sentence I memorize is (taken, with slight modification, from _The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia_): "With a single swing of the sword, the goddess Hylia rent the Earth." Then my base password would become: WassotstgHrtE. From here, I might add some other symbols (from a standard set I frequently use). 11WassotstgHrtE11 In any case, you get the idea. Easy to remember. Damn secure. And not some complicated mess of nuthattery. =) Also, get an Iron Key.
