you can not block the sending of coin
if you have not put a payment_id?
and enter a default payment_id
in the help of simplewallet just write that unless you have a payment_id
by whom you are sending the coin
Insert type "default"
a thing like that
seeing that simplewallet asks a payment_id
and in the help is written to ask who should receive payment
many ask for information before sending
I think that so many will not go wrong in sending coin
well of course there is always the idiot on duty
but for this
you can not do anything
hrm, that would be a relatively simple line of code to add to simplewallet. Simplewallet checks the transfer string to see if there's a payment ID. If there's not, it displays "You are currently sending this payment without a payment ID. The recipient will not be able to identify that you have sent this payment. Would you like to add a payment ID?"
yes/no
"Would you like to add a random payment ID, or encode a message in hexadecimal? (limited to 32 characters)"
random encode
random -> inserts random payment ID, executes transaction
Encode ->
"Please enter your message. Your message will be clipped at 32 characters or padded with 0's to reach 32 characters"
User enters message, hits return, executes transaction.

in terms of users coming from bitcoin without doing ANY background research into how Monero functions (which, lets be honest, will be a good 80% or more), this seems essential. "Oh goody, another altcoin. All altcoins work like bitcoin. Doop dee doo doo doo. "
Of course, this doesn't fix the mining to a pool problem. I think, honestly, the only way to really stop this from happening is to get people to stop mining directly to pools. One way is to get pool operators to disable this function. In general, this would help things all around.
-primer, if you are willing to continue this crusade, I say we lobby the pool operators. In general, pool mining to exchanges is boinking the whole system, because poloniex can't do transactions with mixin 3 because of all the tiny outputs coming from pool mining deposits.
Furthermore, another way to execute this crusade is via the polo trollbox. Polo is LOVING the volume right now - what percentage do they get on each trade? They are making BANK. If we move our activity from Polo due to their hoarding of unclaimed payments, well they might be convinced.
