trusted address vs anonymous address

[coin8091]

nothing happens to a thief who steals bitcoin.

excuse my lame question...

why we don't have 'trusted' addresses & 'anonymous' ones...

so that 'anonymous' thief can never move BTC from 'trusted' addresses
to his 'anonymous' address..

--------
when the transactions is between: trusted -> anonymous

there can be checks/mechanism for 'trusted' address to revert
the transaction... within a day or so...

so that the real owner with 'trusted' address can have
some reaction time to realize the theft and reverse the tx.

What do you mean by checks/mechanisms?

[terrytibbs]

So basically you want to make Bitcoin transactions reversible?

I just think you're mad you got scammed.

What we need is a better way the secure our wallet.dat files.

Because if trusted-to-trusted transactions aren't also reversible, then all the scammers will just become trusted by operating legitimately at first. Sending 0.01 BTC (or .02, .03, maybe even up to .08) to a few people to build up trust, then stealing hundreds. Kind of like they already do!

This would change nothing.

@nmat

well , i can't think of any 'checks/mechanism' now, so intentionally I leave that term vague
as of now :p

may be some form of web-of-trust or friend-of-friend concepts...

keeping ones wallet safe is simpler and fool proof,
asking for reversible tx seems to be lame... !

thanks guys.
