Hi Victor,
Thank you for the pm. I do plan to invest in the weeks to come. I, for one, would prefer some sort of public escrow, but PPT bonds wouldn't really be my first choice. (<-- misunderstanding)
Best Regards,
"Bob"

Well, there was that anonymous fellow on reddit AmA awhile back who ran a botnet that mined for bitcoins, among other things. I'll try to find the link. |

I use coins in the same way, and I have been looking for a program that does just this, without downloading a bunch of other software. It sounds like it would be very easy to create, for somebody who were familiar with the ins and outs of the protocol.
I imagine it being very lightweight:
1. Enter value
2. Enter your private key (sha256 brainwallet support a la bitaddress.org would be a plus)
3. Enter the address to send to
The program now creates a signed transaction, offline, ready to send to the network
4. Connect to the internet
5. upload/paste tx to send via a dedicated website (such as the one you mentioned) or a dedicated email address
This seems to me to be the most secure way to handle coins. No .dat file, no keys exposed to the web, etc.
Something simple like this could possibly even make its way into the iOS app store. Or have a clientside javascript web page that is accessible/savable from any device (a la bitaddress.org)

I too am worried about network security once the mining subsidy drops off. Either there will *have* to be mad transaction volume per block (which is a challenge in more than one way), or transaction fees will be really high (which makes bitcoin seem less revolutionary to the untrained eye).

Even though I have yet to use Starfish BCB, it really is one of the most professional and exemplary bitcoin services out there. I'm an unabashed fan.

Everyone who signed on to the Bitcoin protocol did so under full knowledge of the fact that the coins belong to the owner of the private key, forever.
Even if it were remotely probable for this to be implemented (which it is not), any changes in this would completely break the trust of the bitcoin user base.
If you really want money that has an expiration date on it, the code is out there. You can start a new self-destructing currency at any time.
Personally, I hope some idiot loses 10 million or so coins. Every other bitcoin holder, including you, would benefit.
The catch is this: you will never know if coins actually get lost.

I do get an employee discount, but I am not supposed to use it for those outside my household or family and I will honor that. Also, I have driven a forklift daily at my current job and the two before it.
edit: i also have a fair amount of experience with masonry and concrete, all through volunteer work.

here is how to "back" bitcoin: merchants price their goods at a fixed amount in BTC, and vary the USD price accordingly.

I actually did this the other day. Mostly for convenience, but also so I could pat myself on the back for the bitcoimmunity.

I am currently working in the lumberyard at a building supply store while I get my degree. I have also worked in a custom welding shop, in demolitions, and in farm/equine work. About to start a second job laying basketball courts around the state.

Siblings who have been excluded don't get to say whether or not a parent dies intestate. But on your logic, a will won't matter as anyone can take possession and refuse arbitration. A will is a legally binding contract. If you have taken possession, in violation of the will, and are refusing arbitration, you're harming the other siblings. Now they're justified in kicking him off by force. If the market accepts the fact that he is claiming primogeniture after his father died intestate, and continues to provide him services, then that is the market choice for dealing with a parent who dies intestate: primogeniture. If you do not like that, make sure you don't die intestate. Critics love making edge cases, and saying "see, your system is based on who has the most guns", while ignoring the fact that even at the best of times, government is based on who has the most guns. I don't pretend it would be perfect, but the majority of cases will be settled peaceably, between the two parties involved. In a government system, the majority forces the minority in every decision. Again, says who? How is anything legally binding in a world with no laws or rulers? |

FWIW:
I have been mulling over this for a long time. I have bet against pirate on betsofbitco.in, posted my feelings in the forum, and pulled in and out of pass-throughs.
Yesterday, I decided that I do not think this is a Ponzi. I wish I would have come to this conclusion much sooner. I will be back in the game some time soon, and I would encourage others to do the same. If I am right, this is one of those investment opportunites that only comes around once in a lifetime.

If arbiters can't/don't back up their decisions with violence, then they are just a bunch of dickheads with neat opinions.

And I'd like to emphasize again that I believe we live in anarchy on both a global and national scale (assuming you are American).
