We have just started.
CFB is so much more talkative than Satoshi was.
Haha, finally after weeks of debating...
Love you guys.

So u r against unique people-readable names but not against machine-readable ones. Got it, now ur idea looks less utopian.
Yes - I am looking for "practical solutions" that support "decentralisation" rather than ideas that support "name squatting and scamming".
And I think .onion paved the way.

I just tried QR code generation, everything under 600 chars seems fine, everything higher will probably be a mess with displays below 1k*X resolution.
I think 600 characters is probably plenty for doing what I suggested.
Nice! It's fascinating how there are so elegant solutions for everything, truely amazing.
In retrospect I shouldn't have made a master in finance but in computer science..

I think 600 characters is probably plenty for doing what I suggested (so we can start to see how "easy this vision" of the future can be).
Rather than worrying about phishing you meet a guy who you decide you think you can trust - exchange QR codes and now you can "check out his shop".
If you find his service to be reputable then you might pass on your "approval signature" to other people you know (who make their own decisions about the *weight* of your sig).
Ok, but a PGP key is roughly about 450 chars right? Wouldn't that be bigger than the recommended 300, for not so high resolution devices/cameras?
A PGP/GPG public key is much bigger than that (as it normally uses RSA style public keys) but if we use the EC that Nxt uses then the public key itself would be just 256 bits (so I am not saying that we need to use PGP/GPG but that we should consider the way it does things in terms of creating your own trust network).
Signed messages will be bigger than the public key of course but I think would still be small enough to be handled by most smart phones these days (and we are planning here for the future so I don't think it is a huge concern if we are aiming at the next generation of such devices).

Hmm, that could work. Everything that a computer illiterate can do is perfect for adpotion of the broad mass.
I can assure you that a PGP/GPG public key (without things like a photo included) can fit into a single QR code as the CIYAM Safe uses this already.

Hi Guys,
Newbie problem/question so please bear with me
I installed the windows version of the NXT client yesterday from http://nxtra.org/nxt-wallet/ and funded it with a small amount of NXT. I now can't find it on my PC. There's no reference to it in the programs folder where I would have expected to find it and no link on the desktop or in the tray at the bottom of the screen. When I do a search of my PC all I can find is the NXTWallet-Win Zip folder. My OS is Windows XP.
Where's the client gone?
TIA for any help.

Do you still have the password? then your funds are safe!
Your program is wherever you unpacked the zip file. It does not install itself in program files or add shortcuts.
So basically if he ran it directly out of the zip, then it is/was only stored in the %TEMP% folder. Just reinstall it then and save it this time, then you should be fine!

Yes, but we are talking about a broader audience. Can't imagine, that this will work for them.
The main problem with PGP/GPG currently is a UI problem (most people find it a bit intimidating to use).
There are simple ways that we could *fix* that - imagine you meet someone and exchange QR codes with your smartphones as a way of "exchanging business cards".

You don't need to see "nasty long unreadable ids" and nor does your friend - you just exchange QR codes and verify some small hashes and let the software do the rest for you.

One problem i see with this is phishing. We would need a WOT for that, or smthg like that
And PGP/GPG has already showed us how to that also.

IMO if we "look at what has worked" and "what is working" and then try and "join the pieces" we'll be able to provide the *solutions* much faster than if we go around just re-inventing the wheel.
Yet ppl were trying to generate "vanity" ids...
True (and I have one myself) - interestingly "firstbits" is no longer supported by blockchain.info (nor anyone else I think).
This is perhaps a "good sign" that we are "fighting our own tendencies" in trying to *not do that*.
