What can be done to the ransomware problem?
I think Bitcoin is the seed that grown into the ransomware problem. What can be done to protect users?
My tought was some sort of list of "dishonest" adresses, like what have been discussed with stolen money, but that would not work in this case due to the possibility to create one adress per victim, as opposed to bitcoin theft where there is a few adresses involved where the money was stolen from (the victim).
Any ideas how bitcoin could be adapted to make it "toxic" to ransomware authors, while not burning legit users?
My second tought was some "Vote To Refund" scheme, applying to any transaction, but the problem would be that people could spread false screenshots of ransomware just to get free services/products.
Go brainstorm about ideas on how to prevent ransomware on bitcoin's end.
Use any kind of linux distribution, Linux has come to a point where it has become very easy to use unlike the past, if you still need to use some Windows programs you could use Wine or use another partition with Windows installed and keep your programs that you really need to run on Windows there.
