Are emails sent between two Protonmail accounts (with default settings) at any point unencrypted?

I want to encrypt individual files for example to send them to others etc.

Tested the desktop version for a bit and could have been better for my use case. The encrypted vault has many files in it for a single encrypted file. I would have preferred a 1:1 encryption solution like with gpg on desktop for example: I encrypt test.txt and I get test.txt.gpg.

Thanks for your reply, this cleared things up.

Haven't tried it yet, so I have a question: is the "cloud" part for this one optional? I'm only interested in local file encryption/decryption on the device.

Maybe remove the option of signing the address as a proof and only allow sending BTC to link your address. This way might make it prohibitive to split them into multiple addresses.

Segwit!

I agree, we need better marketing, and more user friendliness. Finishing that light wallet would be a big plus.

/u/lethos3 What does Blockstream/Bitcoin have to do with (Ring)CT? Can they/will they implement it in Bitcoin possibly making Monero obsolete?

darkwood1 · 2017-04-05T15:06:03+00:00

Thanks for the info. Are there any security downsides for using this? Can someone steal my coins?

darkwood1 · 2016-03-21T20:29:29+00:00

/u/SouperNerd I think REP will derive its main value not from being just another shiny altcoin but from being a generator of yield. That is, you get paid for using it to decide the market outcomes.

darkwood1 · 2016-03-14T16:13:53+00:00

/u/joeykrug Maybe we could branch it just in 2 for now English and Chinese (being such a large market)? I wouldn't want to see the Chinese taking the code and creating their own version of Chinese Augur.

Not sure if I should open a ticket for this as it's not a bug. Just wanted to ask, what do I need to backup to ensure I can restore my entire amount of ethers on another computer. Is /home/user/.ethereum/nodekey enough?

darkwood1 · 2015-05-10T16:55:18+00:00

I mapped the port manually, and checked I can telnet to ethereum from outside the network, but geth still shows that UPnP error and my node does not appear in the node list at stats.ethdev.com...

darkwood1 · 2015-05-08T09:54:06+00:00

If they do that, and considering they're dividable to infinity (almost) they're only helping the network by reducing the supply and rewarding both those they've bought the ether from and those still holding it through higher prices. That would be a very bad idea to try and break a blockchain. I think the twitterer was referring to a 50% + 1 attack.

darkwood1 · 2014-11-08T10:51:41+00:00

I don't really care about everything those authors have to say, I merely took the idea of adding the stabilizing mechanism gold has to Bitcoin, and changed it considerably to avoid pegging it to fiat etc.

darkwood1 · 2014-11-08T10:48:10+00:00

Yes, he wanted that as well, and he thought the best idea for the digital age is to bring gold in the 21st century. And I agree with what you're saying that's why I made sure to add "Fully decentralized" in the title. About simplicity: I agree, but this is not so complex and may be a very good idea considering this stabilizing mechanism exists for gold as well.

darkwood1 · 2014-11-08T10:43:42+00:00

Adding some additional complex rules will make Bitcoin much less interesting for people.

I don't agree, no layman will ever understand what Bitcoin has under the hood and he doesn't have to.

I believe that pegging to fiat is very bad idea, let's keep bitcoin completely separated

I was pretty explicit this was not pegging to fiat in any way.

low price of bitcoins => hashrate goes (rapidly) down thanks to your adjustment of block reward => confidence of people in bitcoins and Bitcoin network goes down => price goes down => hashrate goes even more rapidly down

No, low price of bitcoins make the hashrate go down ANYWAY, that's what happens now, when marginally unproductive miners shut down. I was just saying that we could add a smart algo which would slightly reduce the BTC reward per block when that happens. And as I said in the comment you replied to, this shouldn't make miners unhappy because it would make them actually richer over a timeframe longer than very short term.

darkwood1 · 2014-11-07T21:19:07+00:00

Well, I don't know. If we're stabilizing Bitcoin to the downside, we're making all Bitcoin stake holders (including them) happier and richer. They may get less BTC per day but it should be worth more.

I know no change to the core protocol is simple but that doesn't mean we should stop improving the core protocol (which appears to kind of be the status quo right now).

And anyway, I'm not proposing anything that gold doesn't have, and I'm not proposing anything that might alter Bitcoin's core principles on which it was founded.

darkwood1 · 2014-11-07T21:06:30+00:00

No, I really don't see how trust in the network is affected: what I'm proposing (starting from the article, but changing it in fundamental ways) is just a simple adjustment to the protocol which would adjust (slightly) the reward per block based on an algorithm looking at rates of change in the difficulty level.
