Title: [ANNOUNCEMENT] The Second Bitcoin Whitepaper (Available Friday Jan 6th, 2012) Post by: dacoinminster on January 04, 2012, 08:10:46 PM Update: Here it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56901.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56901.0)
Quote I have spent the last few months writing and editing a document which I am ambitiously calling "The Second Bitcoin Whitepaper". Currently it is 12 pages long, and it is being reviewed by a couple trusted associates.

Once I am reasonably happy with it on Friday, I will publish it and link to it from this thread. I will probably also create a new thread for discussion and feedback. I plan to spend most of Friday recruiting various bitcoin luminaries to take a look, and various bitcoin news sources to link to it. Sorry, I'm not available to discuss the paper or answer questions until then, so please don't be offended if I don't answer questions posted to this thread before Friday. Thanks!

i actually think the USD system can layer on top of Bitcoin, aka, The Bitcoin Standard.

Unless some of the "luminaries" will foot the bill themselves, I assume we are talking about premined coins. Good luck with that.
