Since posting doesn't seem to lift the newbie-flag so that I can post in other sections; is it possible to get whitelisted to be able to contribute to this site?

Re: Cracking the passwords: Don't blame the MtGox, USERS ARE STUPID

Another thread clearly demonstrating the lack of understanding of how to achieve wide adoption.  The attitude of many bitcoin users is another reason to bet against it long term.

You're stating that since someone is calling out names, it will hinder wide adoption?  I find that very hard to believe, and also, after reaching out to enough users, what is said in these forums won't matter to the regular user, as they won't be active on the forums anyway.

So do we need more than 5 posts?  Cause I've already posted 5, and my account is still prohibited from posting in other parts of forum.

It seems like it doesn't matter what the username/password combination is supposed to be protecting, it's the same every time.  A lot of users just use silly passwords because they don't manage to remember something more advanced, and don't give much thought into what would happen if someone can access the data you're sitting on now.

I used to work as a sys.admin at a university with 30k students, and we used to crack passwords every now and then, our average was 500 passwords found by the first day every time.

Re: Preview build of our new client (only for the adventurous!)

The long term goal is to have native clients for all major platforms. We started with Windows as it is the one platform that needed a more secure client the most. Sadly Windows doesn't have the best choice of UI APIs after we elminated Qt for various reasons. A pure win32 interface is being worked on and will yield a much leaner client, though it will take a lot more time.

Care to elaborate on why you ditched Qt?  Also, why did you go with Forms and not WPF when you decided to do .Net, and not use Qt in .Net?
