Yes and no. For people who are very concerned about their privacy and anonymity, chances are their standard OPSEC process is a lot more involved than this. Look at Anonymous' OPSEC handbook, for example. However, this doesn't do much to help legitimize Bitcoin as a currency. OPSEC like this screams 'shady' to average folks and doesn't shine a particularly favorable light upon Bitcoin. Moreover, average folks aren't going to want to do this just to pay for an ebook or cover their AWS bill for the month, they're going to want to click on a webpage and be done with it. There is room for both ultra-paranoid OPSEC and having all little mad money stashed away in Bitcoins. The two user communities have to grow at roughly the same rate, though. -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "I am everywhere." -- -- Zero State mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/DoctrineZero ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
