I need this thing for my parents as soon as possible, cause I clean out viruses from their system pretty much every other month!

Solved, as in your private key worked? Tell us you got your money back, and make all of us happier. There are too many stories out there of people losing their keys or passwords, and it all ending in nothing but tears.

Right now it's basically doiing what it did all summer, when it was around $100 and boring. Good time to go out, advertise, and get your friends into it, before it starts going up again in a month or two.

You know your IP address is visible to the mods, right? Just a heads up.

Just remember, the worse things get, the more incentive there is for alternatives. Really hoping for mesh networks to become mainstream.

Why would it want to invade?

Physical goods maybe not, but we are in a service and knowledge economy. We would be able to export software, science, entertainment, and other similar stuff.

That's just the lesson being taught by Bitcoin mining (and is the meaning on the quote in my signature)

Maybe the context had something to do with being loose, waiting for motivation, and then getting literal shit done...

I shall forward your request to our official Bitcoin100 discussion thread. Right here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52543.msg4547466#msg4547466

Also this

I am guessing this one is already pre-approved?

In my first example, probably, but I doubt they would mind much. I wouldn't mind living in a "country" where I am free to do whatever I believe is right, even if it makes me isolated from other countries. Also, don't forget, much of that isolation was in the form of financial sanctions, and those are quickly becoming impossible to enforce. Living in that country, I would still be able to anonymously buy things from hostile countries, or sell things to them, using our decentralized international currency. Heck, I could even sneak past a border and live off Bitcoin and LocalBitcoins cash if I wanted to visit some place.

If my second example, non-anarchist countries will be the exception, since no country would be able to afford to maintain their status quo.

Are you sure? Because government has been the worst polluter in the world, is the main cause of pollution in our national parks and forests, constantly interferes with scientific progress, blocks space exploration, and has been screwing up healthcare and education. And I mean REALLY badly!

Perhaps I can finally offload my coffee table...

Let me whip out my own shiny pair of crystal balls 

Anarchy will happen in one of two ways.

It can happen peacefuly, where anarchists buy or get a piece of land from a country, or set up seasteading ships, and just migrate to the new place. There likely won't be much of a reason to bother or disturb them, since, being uniinhibited by regulations, they may end up having the fastest advancing economy, technology, etc. And they may have enormous wealth and defensive weapons to boot. It would be like countries hating on Google, while all their citizens use it daily. As for how it will be represented in the international community, it will simply be "that place over there. Anarchists don't need representation. If some country wants to enter into deals with anarchists, it would do it on an individual level, such as "this person in particular will provide us with X in exchange for Y."

OR

It can happen violently, where the advent of cryptocurrencies and totally anonymous transactions and business interraction makes collecting taxes and tracking exchanges impossible. Governments will become more violent as they attampt to catch tax dodgers, but will have less and less tax revenues to pay for that violence. Eventually, they will simply collapse from lack of funds. In the mean time, all the austerity measures will make everyone who was depending on governments for medical services, retirement pensions, and wheveter else, will become rather angry at "the system" that has taken their comfortable lives away, and will likely lash out at anyone they percieve to be responsible. This could be wealthy people and businesses, who have money but are not sharing it "fairly" by avoiding taxes, or cryptocurrency and anonymity system developers who are making such a system possible in the first place. In the end, with violence and war simply being too costly, we will end up with regions that don't have government because it would have to be entirely voluntary and without power, and people would just form social and business groups with common interests and goals, but no actual ruling leaders. Whichever states manage to survive will likely only be able to do it through extreme totalitarian powers, such as North Korea or extremely religious violent countries of the Middle East. Some anarchist groups will deal with them, others won't, but there won't be a need for representation, because likely the anarchist group will, again, have way more to offer to those entrenched countries, than they will have to offer to the anarchists.

Find and read The Diamond Age, and maybe Snowcrash, by Neil Stephenson. That's more or less the world that is being build here, right in front of your eyes.

Instead of taking 20% of my income and giving it to people who are doing wasteful fictional work, wouldn't it have been much more efficient to just take my 20% and give it to those people directly? I mean, if it's unproductive work, anyway...

And who will pay to enforce that law?

And who will pay to enforce that law?

Why do we want fictional and unproductive jobs? We all have to pay for them. Wouldn't we rather spend that same money to pay for real productive jobs?
