Title: 2013-07-26 Bitcoin activists propose hard fork to Bitcoin to keep it anonymous a Post by: patricktim on July 27, 2013, 05:41:29 AM http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-activists-suggest-hard-fork-to-bitcoin-to-keep-it-anonymous-and-regulation-free/
The paper, entitled Bitcoin 2: Freedom of Transaction, points out several things that it says are problems for Bitcoin, and worries that the protocol could “develop into a system that is a complete perversion of the original vision – a completely transparent payment system with very few points of control which has been totally absorbed by the established financial and regulatory environment.” Title: Re: 2013-07-26 Bitcoin activists propose hard fork to Bitcoin to keep it anonymous a Post by: bitcool on July 27, 2013, 01:54:09 PM To the reformers: Go altcoins To the fundamentalists: We need a Bitcoin Constitution Title: Re: 2013-07-26 Bitcoin activists propose hard fork to Bitcoin to keep it anonymous a Post by: BCB on July 27, 2013, 01:56:16 PM To the reformers: Go altcoins To the fundamentalists: We need a Bitcoin Constitution A bitcoin constitution??

What most miss, is that by 'complying', Bitcoin has gained an entry vector to its host so it may replicate and become even stronger. The end game is Bitcoin wins, and the host dwindles or vanishes completely.

Instead, this protocol would delete the oldest block from the chain when a new one was added, to keep the block chain at a set length. Any money still held from transactions in these blocks would be freed up, and released back to the network in the form of a lottery. Yet another idiotic idea.

When will people get it into their heads? Don't attempt to redistribute my coins. Period. If this is what's in Bitcoin 2, count me out. In fact, count on me to actively discourage it's adoption by anyone else too (not that I'll care that much, as I'll never choose to use it.)

Nothing new :)
Title: Re: 2013-07-26 Bitcoin activists propose hard fork to Bitcoin to keep it anonymous a Post by: marketalchemy on July 30, 2013, 04:02:00 PM I think the Bitcoin currency (or the concept of the Bitcoin currency) will most likely morph as more people become exposed to the idea of using Bitcoins, and Bitcoins become more accepted in commerce. Because Bitcoins are not centralized, however, I wonder what kind of changes that Bitcoin will inevitably go through and how this change will affect current users of Bitcoin.
