Re: Chain Radio is Bitcoin Radio

Okay, I would have assumed something like that, but never saw the solicitation. Thanks for clearing up that mystery for me!

Re: New York Regulation - What Does it Mean for LTBcoin?

If the proposed regulation aren't trimmed quite a bit (as they may be -- these are just a proposal at this point), the "17 Reasons Bitcoin Startups Should Move To Austin" will be even more powerful. I would assume NY would like to keep businesses from leaving.

Chain Radio is Bitcoin Radio

Out of curiosity, I have to ask… I see "Chain Radio is Bitcoin Radio" as the signature on so many forum accounts! How did this happen? Why do so many users have this in their signature?

Re: https

@Adam @Cryptonaut

I just updated my settings to turn on the new feature, "Receive occasional free tokens to my Counterparty compatible address" (I wonder if this setting should be hyped more to users in a general notice to all? I felt lucky to see the thread that mentioned it). I was asked to enter my password again to checkmark this option, which is a good security feature for changing any user settings. But then I realized the password was sent in the clear. Like others in this thread, I think it makes sense to add HTTPS/SSL to the site. People are getting really involved on the forum, gaining trust/reputation, and doing more trading (sometimes for physical goods, so trust is required). Not to mention, simply changing the LTBc address could cause a problem. Obviously, nothing is perfect, but encrypted communication of our passwords is surely better than sending passwords in the clear.

As another security step (now that I'm thinking about it), notification emails should be sent any time important settings are changed. We get emails saying every time someone liked one of our posts, so seems reasonable to send an email any time user settings have been changed. If it's important enough to require a password to make the change, it's important enough to send us a notification email (sometimes such emails are the way we discover we've been hacked -- had PayPal has a notification feature, Paul Boyer would have realized immediately when someone entered a payout address in his PayPal settings).

And this minor rambling has me thinking, should there be more attention paid to security on the site? With so much crowdsourcing for content, etc., should we be crowdsourcing to make the site and forum as secure as possible? Seeing so many hacks in the crypto-space, seems it would be wise to be as secure as possible, as early as possible.

Re: Counterwallet Asset Drop List Signup

@bitcoinbandit Why does all this seem like a foreign language to me? Assets tokens blah blah.

This whole crypto currency thing needs simplifying!

Whatever though, if its free I'll have some and work out what the hell it is I was given later :/

It will get simple with time and mainstream adoption of crypto technology. But learning the technical concepts and terminology now means we'll be somewhat expert on cryptocurrencies, while everyone else is simply using the technology without a clue. There's value to that!

Re: Bitcoin Keychain (or 1,000 LTBc) Giveaway

And the winner is… @Troy112 ! And I see USPS offers shipping to India, though I have no clue how reliable service is using USPS and your local postal service to deliver the item. So I'l leave it up to you if you'd like me to put a keychain in the mail, or send you 1,000 LTBc. If you'd like LTBc, just reply and confirm your publicly listed address is good. If you want me to send the Keychain, go to contact page on Bkeychain.com and email me your mailing address, along with some random text. Then, as a security step, confirm you've sent the email on this thread, and include the random text you included in the email (to ensure that no one else has emailed me their address -- highly paranoid thinking, but that's just how I am!). If the forum adds a private messaging system, that will make it a bit simpler.

Selection Process

I made a numbered list of all 14 entrants, then used Random.org to randomly reorder the integers 1-14, with the top result being the winner (and then runner-up entrants in order, in case there's any issue with the winner).

Minor LTB Bug?

@cryptonaut Here's something odd. The original post has 14 likes. But the notification list has only 13 people listed as liking "the forum thread." I ended up reviewing all my email notification, and found the 14th person that way. But that person is nowhere on my list of notifications. Let me know if you want any further details. Interestingly, I also discovered if I like then unlike the post, I'm listed in the notifications, w/o any way to see I later unliked the post. I'm not sure of a better way to handle the like and then unlike, but just wanted to mention it.

Thanks all!

Re: Honeybadgerofmoney Magnetic Bumper Slogan = Spread Bitcoin Awareness

@frankenmint You have a lot of nice Bitcoin products! Looks like some are from Eero in Finland?

Re: Bitcoin Keychain (or 1,000 LTBc) Giveaway

Two hours left to enter this giveaway. Looks like 14 people have entered so far.

Thanks all for playing along!

Re: Bitcoin Keychain (or 1,000 LTBc) Giveaway

@andaloons LTBc please!

Even after those great links???

Just kidding, all good with LTBc!

Re: Bitcoin Keychain (or 1,000 LTBc) Giveaway

I just wanted to add that the Bitcoin Keychain being offered is seen constantly to represent Bitcoin. Aside from (finally) seeing my keychain on the latest LTB episode cover art, just today, these keychains were featured on a half dozen websites, including:

I'm curious, does this make the keychains more desirable?
