I realize that, just stating that there are many more periods in this sentence than most. Then again, there are already many more words in it than most: my English teacher would kill me if I handed this in! |

Notice that there are already three periods in the sentence, and after someone adds "Mr." there will be four.

 There are trends. Years just 200-300 numbers before were dominant. |

What is the largest meeting of bitcion users or traders in person?
past, present or future planned
Probably the 2011 NY Bitcoin Conference had the most in a single location ..., there were maybe 50 or so people, I believe? The 2011 Prague one might have been of similar size. The planned 2012 London conference has higher ticket sales . There are online communities with several hundreds online at a time. thanks! So is there bigger sites than this one? there's 500 active at once today it says on here This is the largest community I know of. There is activity 24/7 here, something very rare among community websites that deal primarily with Bitcoin. |

Yes, "War is the health of the State." - Randolph Bourne
Not just the state. The capitalists who subsidize bombing their competition. If it creates wealth, they would be doing it. But they aren't bombing their competition, so it obviously doesn't. You don't hear Wal-Mart bombing the local Target in the news. I hear that ADT/Brinks war is hotting up, though.  Rottweiler is better than both of them combined. Yes, I mean the dog. |

The Weekend Dip Myth My Ass!
The original weekend dip strategy refers to when there is a downtrend is occurring. We are not in a downtrend. The weekend dip strategy said that: "On Wednesday evening (west)/Thursday morning (east) if the 7-day high for the exchange rate is lower then the 7-day high from the previous week, then more likely than not, a weekend dip will result and gains of three to five percent are likely. So the recommended practice was to sell at that time, and buy those bitcoins back over the weekend when the selloff starts to reverse." The weekend dip indicator hasn't flashed green since May. That doesn't mean there haven't been dips during the weekend, it just means they original strategy didn't suggest to sell mid-week and buy back over the weekend. Now there appears to be another pattern where buying on Saturday and selling on Tuesday or so, and do that week after week, seems to be a winning strategy. So there isn't necessarily a dip occurring over the weekend, but that a rally happens early in the week. There is always a battle between greed and fear and the weekend dips were oftentimes where fear had the upper hand. Ever since cash deposit methods have been available even on the weekends now, a weekend decline just doesn't snowball into 10%+ selloffs anymore like they used to. Prices are highest on Fridays, and now the disease is catching on to Saturday. Buy after the weekend dip on Tuesday and sell before it on Friday/Saturday. |

What is the transaction# for the 15k BTC back ? (Zhou ?)
Is anyone following what is happening with the original 40k btc tx ?
For the 19k (and many other network-related hacks), I have a list here. The 19k transaction from Rackspace is: 7a22917744aa9ed740faf3068a2f895424ed816ed1a04012b47df7a493f056e8. |

FirstAscent, the sooner you realize that human beings are part of the ecosystem, like wolves and beavers, and not external to it, the quicker you will become less annoying to the rest of us.
That's exactly why it's in our interest to preserve it. |

I would not purchase a contract that requires me to pay others to arbitrate against thieves.
You don't want your stuff back? Most likely, it won't be stolen in the first place. There are few thieves compared to non-thieves. |

Don't forget the possibility of the use of economic incentives to get the robber to return the stolen goods. If the thief has been positively identified, then you can identify him to the rest of society, and inform them of the crime that was committed, and that he has not made restitution (given the stuff back). The rest of the society, then, could choose whether or not to deal with this person. I predict he would find many doors closed to him. If the choice is between starve or give back your stolen goods, then I know I would choose to return the goods, or their monetary equivalent, if I had sold them.
Consider the hatred here towards "tainted" coins. Not one major theft had the coins returned. Mt. Gox is the only large company that freezes tainted coins. Why would an AnCap society be different? Well, consider that an AnCap society would be a considerably more contractual one than even the one we have going here. The "social contract" would be an actual thing, a "general submission to arbitration" with either an independent arbitration agency, or the one your insurance or defense agency uses. Refusal of arbitration would be a breach of that contract, and you would then probably lose all the contracts that depended on that; the insurance agency, the defense agency, etc. Even at McDonalds, if the owner has seen your face on the nightly news, you may be turned away, because he knows that if you and he have a dispute, you will not arbitrate, and he will be left with no recourse. I would not purchase a contract that requires me to pay others to arbitrate against thieves. That is excessively expensive insurance, and all it will do is make thieves steal from others. A thief will still steal. This is the way society works today: prison's existence hasn't lowered robbery rates, and the threat of shunning probably isn't either. |

We've got a large population of Politics & Society board users very content with anarcho-capitalism, preaching it as the solution to violence. But, after pondering the issue, one can realize that among stateless societies, AnCap might as well be the upper bound for violence.
Imagine a hypothetical scenario as follows. Someone breaks into your house and you catch them stealing your items. What do you do, and what happens after?
In a society with a predominant state, you would call the central police, who would then employ violence to rob them of the items that they stole. This is obviously not optimal; as even when the items are extorted back, the robber is then threatened with further violence to get into a prison cell. All the while, tax collectors threaten violence on taxpayers to pay for the entire process.
AnCap is much, by many orders of magnitude, better than this. Initially, no violence is threatened on the robber; instead, a protection agency attempts to persuade the robber to return the items. But what if the robber refuses? Eventually, the protection agency is forced to use violence once again to reclaim the stolen items. The amount of violence threatened and employed is much lower here, but it is not a violent-free process.
It is difficult to find a society without a predominant state that employs more violence than AnCap, in fact. In true anarchism, where there is a lack of any states (including protection agencies), the robber would simply get away. In a direct democratic anarchist system, violence is only threatened after a vote, which depending on the situation may not pass.
AnCom is in theory even more violent than AnCap, but it isn't a true anarchist system because it is both involuntary and lacking of a central state. It's more like a libertarian socialist society. There are also many issues with it; so many, that it is a leftist's dream that will never work.
As a libertarian myself, I believe AnCap provides an effective way of reducing violence, possibly the most effective way known to mankind at the moment. The free market has demonstrated outstanding ability to regulate and nearly eliminate corruption, as well as boosting charity and total societal wealth. A transition of society to an anarcho-capitalist one is a huge leap forward for all of society, for mankind's future, and even for the planets we may live on. But I remain open to other low-state, multi-state, or anarchist alternatives that may be proposed in the future that enable even further cooperation. Anarcho-capitalism is not yet optimal.
Neither true anarchism (because it would be chaotic and devolve into either a state, AnCap, or AnCom system) nor direct democratic anarchist systems (as it doesn't scale) will work properly in today's society. The sole reason for this post is to affirm the existence of less violent systems, each having their own problems of course. Less violent systems that will still work remain to be invented today. But when they are, they will represent society's next step forward.
