Wrong.

You could have been right though, if you were aware of some mathematical facts:

What we do know is that internet speed is advancing at a rate nowhere close to the rate the Blockchain is growing, I hope people have prepared for themselves some real life hobbies, especially since downloading the Blockchain will become a long process (taking a couple of weeks), andBitcointalk.org will experience more DDoS attacks.

Actually I just changed my mind. I do not intend to punch holes just into the copernican system. I want to put the whole system under pressure so that it would either break or persist. If there are any weak points in our current understanding of the cosmos then I would love to keep punching those weak points until they are no longer weak points or the whole thing falls apart. Copernican system has its flaws.

My personal suspicion is that the Earth is hollow and although the Copernican system is correct we live on the inside surface of that hollow earth rather than on the outside surface. What we see in the sky may or may not be what we have been told. Since moon landing was a hoax and Mars rover is a scam, I don't have enough information to say anything about the nature of things beyond the Van Allen's belt. The Russians who drilled 12 km deep hole discovered that in contrary to their expectations the earth actually became less dense as they drilled deeper. This could mean that they drilled past the centre of gravity and that the Earth's crust is not as thick as we have been told.

Since there is a giant hologram already cast upon our Moon to hide what is really on the Moon it is not far fetched to extrapolate that other astral bodies may also be just holograms. It's pointless to argue with me on that because you cannot prove nor disprove it. Pretty much the only thing we can actually prove in this whole context of conspiracies is the concavity of Earth and entrances/exits at the poles of Earth. Alternatively, it would be great if we got to see video footage of Earth from space (as high as possible) that does not use fish eye camera. If the horizon up there is still on the eye level then it is a definite indicator that the Earth is concave or at least flat.

When I saw this video, it was clear to me that what we are taught in the geography is utter bullshit and should not be taken seriously. It is a known historical fact that no one has ever drilled deeper than 12 km. Thus, how on Earth can a scientist say what is inside Earth. Just because some places put out lava does not mean the whole Earth is filled by it. Those shit scientist really think people are that stupid that they believe just any ridiculous explanation they serve via the public education system.

Have a nice New Year's Eve.

He honestly believes that NASA is telling the truth and hasn't faked anything.

Just because you are an astrophysicist doesn't mean you know anything about the shape of the Earth. You observe the stars, right? Not Earth -- stars. So how can you tell such a story? It's just a bunch of assumptions. If you truly were a proper scientist you would understand that. You don't know how the universe operates, stop making dumb assumptions.

What if the universe is surrounded by Earth and the farther away from earth you go the smaller you shrink? Yeah it may sound weird to us due to our expectation bias brainwashed into us by the public education but it is a possibility. And guess what, ALL THE MATH WOULD STILL WORK OUT. You could still do your astrophysics and you wouldn't see a difference. Come one, did I really have to tell you this? Why is it that you cannot come to the same conclusion on your own? This is how strictly you are thinking INSIDE THE BOX.

Uow, I've never seen this piece. So, is it certainly impossible that a new, disruptive processing technology is invented? I mean, that could process without the limitations we currently know?

Armory is a great option for people who are security experts and understand how to harden a desktop system against malware. A sandboxed, signed-code-only platform like ios is more secure for non security professionals. It uses the trustedBSD managed access control model for app separation.

1) Very good, grasshopper.
2) Where is your proof that I am not Chuck Norris?

Here you go...

Proof that 1 = 2:

Step 1: Let a = b.
Step 2: Then aa = ab.
Step 3: aa + aa = aa + ab.
Step 4: 2(aa) = aa + ab.
Step 5: 2(aa) - 2ab = aa + ab - 2ab.
Step 6: and 2(aa) - 2ab = aa - ab.
Step 7: This can be written as 2(aa - ab) = 1(aa - ab).
Step 8: and cancelling the (aa - ab) from both sides gives 1=2.

daemonfox I think you have missed vhaasteren's point a little bit here:

He is trying to say that your hot, luke warm and simmer down wallets, all exist as wallet files on a networked PC, therefore offering no increased protection for one another if your passwords/computers are compromised, obviously the ways of finding the wallet.dat files etc may differ...

He then mentions your cold storage system. Basically, he is saying that as you must import your private key to a networked computer to spend the funds (current arrangement) that this is only as safe as aforementioned three wallets when you come to spend the funds, although, these should be secure from theft before that happens. He was trying to imply, that in order to spend any funds from this wallet, without importing the priv key to a (potentially compromised) client/computer, you could spend funds by generating raw transactions (req. know-how and is still hard).

I must agree with him, that armoury on a second, 100% offline (never before networked) pc/netbook really looks to be the way forward, until secure bitcoin hardware wallets are sucessfully implemented.

I personally bought the cheapest Asus netbook new off amazon, disabled all network devices in BIOS, formatted to ubuntu 10.04 and loaded armoury onto it. Cost ~£150. Price worth paying for securing my coins? Absolutely.

Hope this helps.

Wow... and what "good firewall" might you be using? Also, just having a router does not make you any safer... it just adds a couple steps to making a connection to networked equipment.

If you are really looking for security, you need to read more and listen to the people here who aren't flaming you, they are giving you good advice.

For starters, I do the following for my BTC use:

HOT WALLET: I have an active wallet on Blockchain.info that is solely used to payout directly to people I exchange with outside of BTC-e or VirCurEx... this is merely a personal choice as it makes it so I can send BTC from anywhere I have internet and everything has an email alert.

SIMMER DOWN WALLET: I have an encrypted wallet that I use to receive coins from others in exchange for services or donations etc. This wallet is located on a VPS that is ALWAYS OFF until I log in to boot it and unlock the wallet... it takes a while to get the blockchain but I only access it about once a month and track it using the blockchain.info to see if there is anything there before i even bother. This is not that secure by itself but keeping my VPS account secure and the VPS offline unless I am using it addes to it... and it is never much BTC anyways.

LUKE WARM WALLET: There is an encrypted wallet on one my HDDs in my file server at home, but it is not in any typical directory, does not have any other files in the same directory, is hidden, and can only be accessed by my administrator login, of which uses a hashed key as a password which is stored on a USB drive on my keyring. This is used as an intermediary before I send BTC to cold storage. I use this wallet to withdraw from exchanges and as my mining wallet. I try to empty it daily. Also, this server DOES NOT actually host the client I use to unlock and transfer BTC... I have to map to it from my laptop with the Administrator hash key and then I can drop a copy into the client directory, restart it, do my business, encrypt it again then overwrite it back to the server before disconnecting the mapped drive.

COLD STORAGE WALLET: I have a wallet address and privkey pair that I generated with vanitygen... at 45 BILLION difficulty... and I have NEVER used it for anything but receiving BTC. I tested another address and privkey pair by importing it into Blockchain.info and once I confirmed it worked, the harder address and privkey were generated (got mad lucky said it would take 2.5 yrs in oclvanitygen but it popped up on day 4) and tested sending it some BTC... walla Blockchain shows it has value but there is no way to get to it until the day I import it somewhere. I pay myself 30% of my mining intake and transfer that here plus any substantial payment/donations.

LONG TERM INVESTMENT WALLET: I also have a wallet I put my first 5+ BTC in... it is encrypted and exists in a handful of formats... keys printed and mailed to my mother who put it in our family safe deposit box, a copy of the encrypted wallet.dat on a USB that is also encrypted and sits in my safe deposit box at the bank, another USB that is encrypted and sits in my son's dresser with his other personal items he keeps, the encryption password for both USBs was printed (again a hash key), sealed in an envelope and given to my mother in law to put in her safe deposit box, and lastly the UNencrypted wallet.dat was burned to 2 DVDs that are locked away somewhere with my grandmother... i have no clue where as she agreed they would be sent to her personal estate storage and could not be retrieved until her estate is passed to me upon her death (dad was furious rofl that's what you get for alienating yourself from the family DAD... GG).

Anybody got any other methods that you use to keep safe? I know it sounds like a lot of work for some BTC... but I know I won't be posting here with a sob story and 100s if not 1,000s of BTC stolen.
