Agreed. I also think the tipping point has been reached or at least will be reached in the very near future. A lot of people will most certainly call me crazy, but Bitcoin is dead to me.

In diesem Forum wird unglaublich viel Müll geredet von wg "Bitcoin is dead, etc", überwiegend von Trolls mit solchen Seiten: ournem.com

The ATM in Bochum just failed, will go onto the junkpile soon (partially due to their own fault implementing too much surveilance technology into the ATM, which features a fingerprint sensor. This is totally uncommon for each and every other terminal out there. None have that.

Agreed. In anderen EU Ländern gibt es auch ATMs mit eingebautem Fingerprintgedöns (z.b. Robocoin), allerdings ist das Teil meistens abgeschaltet weil es keinen interessiert (außer ein paar Techfreaks). Nur in Deutschland muss man natürlich wieder allen beweisen, dass man mit vorauseilendem Gehorsam, Kontrollsucht und Selbstbeschränkung jede Erfolg versprechende Innovation erfolgreich im Keim ersticken kann.

Giving up fingerprints is a major issue imo though, these cannot easily be changed ever, if you lose your password, fine - then change it - but you cannot easily change your fingerprints. Unless it's completely mandatory, like entering the US on a flight, I see no reason to ever give away your fingerprint. Heck, I don't even understand why people accept to do this on iphones.
