Yubikey needs to be physically touched to generate a new password. This helps prevent phishing. I think you should go to their site Its clearnet www.yubico.com and check them out... I think the yubikey is ingenious...

Granted, im not all that technical, so I don't know all the drawbacks, but from what I have read there aren't that many at all..

Just use the yubikey for when you are transferring money.. 65000 xfers is a ton of transfers if your doing that many you can afford to buy another one, lol..

We dont need the yubikey to log in. Just to do important stuff, like money transfers.. Since that is the issue here..

Also, the 65k limit is how many times it inserted. So, if you leave it in your computer all day and use it multiple times, that counts as only 1 out of the 65k.. Still if you use it 10 times a day, that key will work for like 18 years.. So, as long as you keep it plugged into the computer it only counts as one key and that will extend its life..

This is why everyone with a mt. gox account needs to get a Yubikey.. It makes it IMPOSSIBLE to get into an account with out it.. I could post my username and password here and it would be totally safe..

Its the best 29 bucks I've ever spent..It generates a new 44 character password each time. Like Lasagna said, he doesn't know of any program or programmer that could break it...Im not technical at all, but from what Ive read about the yubikey it makes things uber safe..

I understand what you want to do, If it could be done, I think its a good idea. But, there would have to be trusted exchanges here on SR. Or SR could be the exchanger. I mean, If this was plausible, I would love to bring in 30 or 40k (if I had it, lol) worth of btc at the current value (7.0) and immediately get 10 for it. The biggest problem is there would be too much power in the hands of a few, unless SR were to step in and actually do this. but I think SR's answer to all of this is hedging. Also, I never keep any bitcoins in cold storage. When (if) I need btc's I buy it then send it on over. That way I don't get hurt on the btc fluctuation.

I think the best bet is for buyers to open up an account at mt. gox or wherever, and you can put 1k dollars in your account then buy the btc's when you decide you want to purchase. It only takes a couple hours from purchase of btc to purchase of product on Sr. BTC usually doesn't move too much in that time. So, if the items are hedged, and buyers only purchase the btc when they want something will solve most, if not all, the issues..

I like your outside the box thinking though...

Yes, there is a thread somewhere about it. It looks like there have been quite a few members use their service and so far its worked great..

Everyone should be using GPG... Especially when giving up your personal info. That way, you are assured that the person you are buying from is the only one that can read it.. It's not a cure all, but its one more gun in our arsenal that will help protect you...

I know that there have been many posts saying that we shouldn't check the usps web site when checking DCN numbers or tracking numbers. My question is does anyone have concrete evidence that flags are raised by checking DCN, etc numbers through Tor?

I understand that its a good idea not to, but I was wondering if anyone has actually experienced a seizure or whatever due to them checking it through Tor?

I think he is actually selling a poor mans opium. True opium is actually scraped from the pod. I believe he is just boiling down poppy pod tea. Maybe he can come and explain to us exactly what it is and how its made. Poppy tea is actually quite good (not taste, just effects).
