Let's put it clear for everyone then:
PIP 11: It's already in the protocol but we need support from everyone (GUIs, webpages) to arbitrary-sized addresses such as this one: 1TM1TTodZRiGNY23hgEW4QLroBW5By2gF1FQBwst7BEGPvS3gVh6PuqF5yNPtLFFFy71NzC2bZEX7mU jMJAb8wh6tPVpQeMCcu68F
PIP 16/17: They're too similar the more I read them. It requires protocol changes but they will allow to have regular-sized addresses which redeems the money with several signatures instead of a single one. It also allows much more complex transactions while the address stays the same size. It allows space savings in the block chain.
We can have escrow right now with PIP 11 (it just needs GUI support), but not secure multisig-by-default wallets, as DeathAndTaxes says.

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

why would i have multisig wallets? more keys to keep secret, is just stupid! the only real world use of multisigs is escrows, for which there is no need for small good looking addresses. this is just plain stupidity! |

The concept is that you have to approve transactions on both your PC and phone, so a virus on one of them doesn't steal your money.

Then don't use it. Nobody is asking you to. Your rant is like saying: Why does google/mtgox/openID use multi-factor authentication? More keys to keep secret is just stupid. Why is it possible to create SSL cert which requires two (or more( signatures? More keys to keep secret is just stupid. Why does launching a US ICBM with nuclear payload require two keys? More keys to keep secret is just stupid. Why does it require my key and bank's key to open my safety deposit box? More keys to keep secret is just stupid. |

Companies with bank accounts where 2 responsibles are required for high volume transactions are stupid. Yeah... Your wallet already stores several keys and generates new ones from time to time, even if you don't see them in your input addresses. The concept is that you have to approve transactions on both your PC and phone, so a virus on one of them doesn't steal your money.
Exactly. Bitcoin will be valuable to everyone only when this is possible. Not everybody can make sure all the time their computers aren't compromised. |

how about you show some respect to the people on this forum, instead of acting arrogant and asking everyone to spoon-feed everything to you. |

Real banks do this. When you try to send funds, your phone gets a text and then you have to validate it from the phone. This isn't stupid at all. It means that an attacker has to control both your computer and phone which is way harder for them to do. |

I have a question for you: Do you want Bitcoin to be successful?
If the answer is yes, we need more people to use it securely. Learn from the problems of the last year, where each security breach meant a drop in the price and the users. You blame people, but people blame Bitcoin itself, making imposible to Bitcoin to ever be popular.

What do you think it's going to break exactly? What is your concern?
protocol upgrade, any old client would do funky stuff, which is not good. |

protocol upgrade, any old client would do funky stuff, which is not good. You are afraid of change? What if a bug is found tomorrow in the old client and we need a change. Maybe our ability to change it what will save the block chain in the future. Practice makes perfect. I'm nervous about change too, but we shouldn't be afraid of it. Test it well, and be prepared for the worst case scenario. im not afraid of change. if it was to fix a bug, it would be understandable. but to introduce more flaws and bugs, to fix a problem that does not exists, is not acceptable |

sigh... There aren't any more entertaining subspecies of Homo Sapiens than the Scandinavian kooks. Kokjo is from Denmark and he advocates starvation for those who can't properly operate the computer. Pentti Linkola is from Finland and he advocates using nuclear weapons to solve the problem of overpopulation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentti_Linkola http://www.counter-currents.com/2011/06/in-praise-of-pentti-linkola/I think we should all welcome our Scandinavian overlords, before it is too late! |
