not possible with current forum owner and staff. Stop asking for more security if it is obvious, theymos does not want more security, be clever to understand the reason/s.

There are simple and complex solutions for your request, in your words, it is very easy. But theymos denied any suggestion or help, make your own conclusions, if you would understand me, you would lock your own thread.

A lot of users have been hacked this past few days, weeks or months. I'm not sure. I'm one of those who have been recently hacked.
And thanks to Cyrus and Theymos i managed to get my account back. The things is i don't want this kind of thing to keep on happening!
I don't want this to happen to other users and i think my idea would be a great leap to our forum's security.

So here's how it's going to work. Most of us that we're hacked weren't able to regain access on our account because our email was changed.
What if every time a user wants to change his email he needs to authenticate that request using the current email address registered to his account.
And after authenticating the request there will be a 24 hour process. The user can still cancel it within 24 hours if he change his mind.

I also think that it would be great if we add the service like Cloudflare to completely secure our forum. Of course all of us should be a part of this.
We should all contribute on this. We should build a donation address for this plan.

Getting hacked feels really bad. And i don't want that to happen to any of you.

So what do you guys think?

I really want this post to be noticed by our mods, staff and admins! So if you agree with me reply to this post saying that you want to make this forum secure as well.
Or if you have other ideas put it here as well

Let this post serve as a petition to make our forum more secure and greater than before!

This forum is owned by humans. Humans have points of view. Sticking to Core is their point of view. Nothing's neutral.

Hmmm, nice definition. I will rephrase:

1. Private forum without any rules
2. Person who does not wish to be publicly know, but he is
3. Person who controls bitcoin community is the same as in point 2.
4. Same person tried everything to discredit mentioned projects and to harm them.
5. Community is very centralized
6. Bitcoin community is very centralized, especially after cases like bitcoin classic.
7. Oh yes, this forum would like to centralize bitcoin, community should help.
8. Outside of dev threads on this forum, it is junk

No, humans have wishes and goals. Having point of view would mean they would share theirs and listen to other humans. This is not happening. I guess, greedy humans without any moral would be more appropriate.

Re: If I use my pre 0.13.0 wallet.dat on 0.13.0, does it mean my wallet is not HD?

some use old wallet version (not sure, I think pre 0.0.9) for scripts like pywallet.py to import mass keys directly into wallet without harassing with api calls/connection/protection issues.

Everything centralized becomes later decentralized repeating the cycle. Often centralization is solution for decentralized schemes and decentralization is often solution for centralisation, in this article borderline is not defined at all. None of them will ever work perfectly without each other. How about internet as one big network? Is the internet centralized or decentralized? It really depends on the view or specific definition/meassure, you could prove both. The same is for bitcoin. Everybody can explain why bitcoin is technically decentralized but few would discuss about social aspect of centralization of ressources and how decentralized bitcoin could (or already is) become centralized.

This is good link (Chapter 2. Decentralization and environmental issues)
