Re: [PULL] private key and wallet export/import

I am not sure this a suitable to be on by default. This will cause a great amount of lost bitcoins because unsophisticated users are careless.

This is fine living in a separate branch.

Being able to recompile a branch is a nice
barrier of entry for the tech. clueless.

This SHOULD be included in the default client. Reason being, it is incredibly useful for people who know how to use it, and not all of us know how to use linux or feel like spending hours on Windows attempting to compile the source with all of the dependencies.

Discluding a feature like this from anyone who doesn't know how to compile c code would be a terrible thing.

I'm actively using this feature and I would love to give out qr-codes (sealed) of privkeys to friends. Actually I gave one to a friend, but he's not supposed to open it before 6/17/2012. So I'd really love to have the feature in default client by that time Wink

Otherwise I'd have to compile bitcoin for windows, which I really would like to avoid.

Most "normal" users don't even know they can use RPC commands. I think compiling a branch is too high a barrier.

This is also needed for bitbills, btw, which is a pretty cool project as I think.
