Replace-by-fee would make wallet theft unprofitable (self.Bitcoin)
отправлено 13 minutes ago автор unusedredditname

Not a small hot wallet that's not monitored, I mean the high profile, high value thefts from business and individual cold wallets that we've seen lately.

If you were to monitor your cold addresses for memory pool activity, you could get an alert when your hacked cold wallet is being spent, and send a transaction dumping the whole balance to the miner.

Replace-by-fee means miners would process this TX over the thief's, and your cold wallet would not go to the thief, but to a lucky miner.

The so-called "nuclear option" transaction can be built and signed offline, and stored for use online (securely) so you wouldn't need the private key on a hot device.

If you get the alert for a valid spend from your cold wallet, you've basically already lost the BTC unless you can double spend successfully with little notice. The replace-by-fee would NOT save your wallet, but it would make sure there's no profit in stealing it, which will drive down this activity.

"But instant transactions!" Stop. They don't have PoW, they're not secure. Even Bitpay, who wants instant transactions calls them high risk. The blockchain is the power of bitcoin, ignoring it in favor of mathless node consensus is bad bad bad, and WILL make bad things for bitcoin when it gets big enough to make sophisticated miner attacks profitable.



explanatory note for you who don't read bitcoin sourceforge or wherever it was posted: replace-by-fee is the plan to let you replace an unconfirmed transaction with one with a higher fee and that one takes precedence. (it's a great way to make it trivially easy to double-spend, since no coffee shop is going to wait for a confirmation)
this guy's great plan is "instead of letting your money be stolen, give it away to some random"

Janssens: It would be relevant enough if you know that the SPA/PS (Leftist political parties in Belgium) are growing in power because of the muslims, and that the Arab world is helping them accomplish this. Unless his hope is is ‘not being beheaded in 20 years because he is a Christian’.

More like: eliminate all car theft by stealing someone else's car and then mod it so it bursts into flames when the alarm goes off while hoping the guy you steal it from didn't do the same.

The term "expert" certainly gets thrown around easily in the bitcoin community, doesn't it?

If you can found your own company/exchange, you must be an expert right?

This might be a good opportunity for /u/bruce_fenton to show Olivier that Muslims are not all bad. He may have been brought up in a nasty anti-muslim household, or had a bad experience, who knows.

bruce_fenton 2 очка 2 hours ago
It's a hard argument to win. I've had it and tried as many times as anyone.

If given the opportunity I'd love to do so. But it's not that relevant to his Board seat and I do support him in that role. I want to help him and the other board members be a success.

Thanks for tagging my username and noticing that discrimination is an area I work on a lot.

Stronkt 6 очков an hour ago
Please help me understand this a little better. You work on discrimination, I assume that means you work against discrimination. Yet you support someone who openly discriminates and want them to be a success?

aminok -2 очков an hour ago
He didn't openly discriminate though. He expressed prejudicial beliefs. His actual political stance is to support a free market for all. That is what Bitcoin promises to bring about.
