Some friends and I are starting a new blog, https://shitcoin.fyi/ - we're looking for contributors, paid (up to $50 per post) or not to write thoughts about altcoins and upcoming ICOs, specifically ones they don't like for some reason. You should be proficient in English, as well as be accurate and possibly funny. We currently use medium.com to host the blog and have not published anything yet. You'll need to provide a sample of your writing, an altcoin you'd like to write about, then we can negotiate price. I'm happy to pay via btc.
What is the point of a QR code rather than an encrypted private key? Less likely for someone to memorize a QR code than a long private key?
The QR code IS the private key, just encoded in a visual format easy to parse by machines. It's also an option to put the 64 hex digits into a slab of metal, but to use it you'd have to type them or use (less reliable) OCR.
I figured it was the key or an encrypted version of the key, but it seemed like typing them in would be less error prone than a camera trying to read the dots on steel. Maybe I'm wrong that it's entirely readable with a camera now.
I'm in Europe, yes. How old are these, do they still have warranty? 75% is way too high unless they are like new and have 1 year+ warranty left that I can exercise internationally.
I bought them in late 2011, though I'm not sure about the warranty. Make an offer; I'm not in a massive hurry, I can bring them back here at Christmas.

75% of new price for both. Where are you based? Shipping the speakers might not be economically viable, unless you're in Europe. The Sonos itself is kinda heavy, but small.

I do and they're still in the UK. I'm in USA now, I'm sure we could arrange collection though.

If MtGox could make it so that you could add your PGP public key and then configure your account such that bitcoin withdrawals require PGP signature of a pre-generated message that contained the destination bitcoin address, MtGox would have undisputable conclusive proof in the event of a disagreement as to whether a withdrawal was authorized.
However: what's the difference of having ones password stolen and having ones pgp key stolen and passphrase key-logged?
The difference is the attacker wouldn't have the PGP private key.
