Congrats to both JSRAW and d_eddie. Well deserved and welcome to the club.
Toxic on deck.
Lesson 1 on how to become a bitcointalk legendary...
-Hang out in the wob thread.
-don't spam,
-don't commit shitcoinery....
-and don't be a dick.
(I know... I can be a dick, but I was grandfathered in...)
Or
-Indeed hang out at the WALL and be humble
-maybe spam? (
isn't that what I did?)
-Indeed no shitcoinery, or do it off the
books WALL...

-mmm we can't all be dickless I think or is the WALL full of pussy ??
-don't obvious fish for merit. (
Damn guilty again, did I fished or not before)

-Don't be a roach, though he's merited a lot as well

add:
- don't be a roach
- don't be a big blocker
- lose some coins
- make some coins
oh wait, already said, ...
can we expect the BTC protocol to evolve at one point to make private keys more secure ? Like making their size bigger (4096 bits instead of 256) so that instead of making a collision almost impossible, it would become totally impossible ? To fend off advances in computing.
Protocol won't change without a hard fork, and you know hard forks are quite, hard. To deal with. We'll end up with Bitcoin Small Key and Bitcoin Big Key, or something stupid.
