By the way, I don't know if it matters, but we're donating 5% of all income to the Bitcoin foundation.

here is my logic:
Does it work?
No: then its broken, fix it!
Yes: its not broken, DO NOT FIX IT! it might break!

Most stupid thread title ever.
the survey is not about the definition of morale, it's about the definition of stealing.
if it was about the definition of morale it would have to be the other way around.
1.If you build a road alone, would it be okay to charge people to use it?
2. If you and a group of people build a road, would it be okay to charge others to use them?
3. If you are elected to build a road and secure it with security forces, would it be okay to charge the people who elected you to do so with it's maintenance cost?
4. If you are the representative of a group of elected people in charge of: roadbuiding, infrastructure building, securing your town and the roads, and protecting you from non elected people charging you for services rendered by yourself, would it be okay to charge the people who voted for them for maintenance cost and a fee for future projects?
repeat as you like.
And even that is not your personal definition of morale; morale is what you personally feel is right, and won't burden your conscience.
Cool story bro. And those who do not want to use the road? and what about that sewer? |

Maybe I haven't made my point clear enough. I'm not trying to troll you.
Yes, people are known to say stupid shit about computers, politics, cars and whatever. Also their level of conviction seems to be inversely correlated to the amount of actual knowledge they have on a given subject. If you happen to be knowledgeable in a given subject (say, computers) you can spot this easily. Yet thinking about those people that they are stupid seems a dangerous delusion to me. It ascribes an essence of stupidity to those people and implies it can not be changed. Yet there is no essence of stupidity. There are only people who do stupid things and say stupid things at certain times. And everyone is guilty of this at certain times. Denying this about yourself will only be viewed as a stupid act by me (and I suspect by some others) and you will end up in that same category of "stupid masses" in their view. This way it seems that everybody believes in this entity consisting entirely of stupid people, but nobody puts themselves in it. See the problem with that?
people are stupid on a given subject, and i am too. and that cannot be changed, everyone cannot know everything. Based on your writing style you seem to be a smart fellow. And it seems to be easy for smart people to become cynical and go "I'm smart, people are stupid". Now I'm not hating on you for this. I'm trying to point out that if the situation of "people are stupid" bothers you, you might consider that your attitude does exactly nothing to help the situation. Actually it seems that people will often behave in stupid ways, because they have been imprinted by their parents, peers, culture and teachers that they are stupid. Reinforcing this imprint doesn't seem very helpful to me, do you see what I mean?
i am smart on somethings, and there are alot of shit that im shit at doing. i don't see a problem in that, you do. I'm more interested in creating circumstances in which people can thrive and expand their intelligence. I suppose you can find lots of example from your personal life and the lives of famous people, where some people have acquired excellent levels of intelligence and skill and usually you will find they have been in circumstances supportive of this achievement. Creating positive circumstances can start with something as simple as some words of encouragement and some belief in the potential of people in general.
No, i do not want to have knowlegde about pre-renaissance german poets. I want to keep my stupidity about that subject intact, and let someone interested learn about that. To sort of tie this back to the original debate: This is one potential I see in Bitcoin. It has the potential to be a platform through which people can more effectively increase their skill and intelligence. Just think of an example of a blogger who can now receive small payments from people who find his blogs fun to read. Or a reviewer who can get some income thanks to the usefulness of their reviews. Or a musician uploading her songs on youtube and receiving some mBTC from people who enjoyed her songs. This might provide those people with incentive to further hone their skills. Also it provides more financial possibilities and probably more time to develop their skills, as well. Who knows, maybe the blogger will get so skillful and intelligent by blogging all the time, that he can live entirely from the income this generates?
some people are just not capable of comprehending a thing like bitcoin, some don't have the time, and some don't have the interest, and some have better things to do. these people are what i call stupid, even though its not deserved, its true. They lack knowledge about bitcoin. They will or can never understand bitcoin, and therefor need thrust in authority(or simple empirical evidence, but some people are even incapable of understanding that). |

Police are paid by property taxes. There are examples of privatized police doing much better than public police.
cool, anecdotal evidence ftw!!! |

no, i understand why bitcoin works, and therefor i thrust in it. PEOPLE are stupid and are currently not studying CS, and therefor have limits abilities to understand and thrust bitcoin based on knowledge, they therefor need an authority they thrust to vouch for bitcoin(ie. government/regulations).
so it's I AM SMART and PEOPLE ARE STUPID? Sort of makes me think of this: "I'm not like most girls" - most girls on this topic i am not like most girls, yes i said that. I AM smarter the most people, most people even have a hard time turning on a fucking computer. on other topics, i am just like most girls(or worse): I don't know shit about it.  Please realize that this faceless entity you seem to think of as the "uneducated stupid masses" includes YOU from the viewpoint of almost anyone else thinking the same way. There is no such thing as "the public" or "the masses". There are just people. Individual people, stupid, smart and in between but every single one of them capable of improvement. By saying that they need authority and regulation you are denying their ability to improve and learn from their mistakes. Not only that, you're actively promoting taking this ability away from them. Pfui! Bad Kokjo! edit: maybe you actually want to be able to think of other people as "stupid uneducated masses" in order to prop up your ego and feel better about yourself? Certainly understandable, though not worthy of praise in my eyes  But if you actually care about those people, please reconsider if what they really need is more authority and regulation and not freedom to choose and learn from the consequences of their actions. How do you expect anyone to get less stupid/to learn if you deny him the option to do so? you should hear some of the shit people(99%), who don't understand how computers works, say. many/most people do not understand the technically side of bitcoin. if you don't trust me, go ask the cashier in your local supermarket, if they can explain bitcoin to you or if they even know what it is. I acknowledge my strengths and limitations. please fuck off troll. |

i don't need regulations directly, PEOPLE need regulations to thrust bitcoin. and if i want bitcoin to succeed i indirectly need regulation too because people need them.
Oh yes, YOU wise sir are above the need for regulation, you can take care of yourself, thank you very much. On the other hand, those OTHER stupid people, they need regulation, otherwise they would just die from exhaustion while trying to exit their own flat because they are that stupid. Of course. no, i understand why bitcoin works, and therefor i thrust in it. PEOPLE are stupid and are currently not studying CS, and therefor have limits abilities to understand and thrust bitcoin based on knowledge, they therefor need an authority they thrust to vouch for bitcoin(ie. government/regulations). also i want regulation to have clarity about the legal aspects of bitcoin |

Regulations! Read about what happened when banks got centralized.
im not saying that bitcoin should get centralized. im just saying that it would help bitcoin, if governments came out and said that bitcoin legal. and you should pay tax of them, just like any other traditional currency. |

However, there could be a RIPEMD-160 hash collision of two different ECDSA pubkey point. That would have two different privkeys with one pubkey.
their would be 2 keypairs, where the hash of the public keys would be equal. keypair A: (Apub, Apriv) keypair B: (Bpub, Bpriv) Apub != Bpub and Apriv != Bpriv BUT!!!!! hash(Apub) == hash(Bpub) |

Let me check with my psychiatrist.
Oh, you have a psychiatrist! When did they let you out? ...and why would i care about the media? I don't live in the US, and the rest of the world is laughing at you who do. If you want regulation and closed source crypto cash out your BTC and buy Ripple.
regulation and closed source are not equivalent. I want regulation, because it gives people more thrust in bitcoin, and therefor a bigger adoption of it, and more widespread use instead of just drugs and speculative trading. I want regulation because it brings the time for when i can buy a coke in my local 7/11 with bitcoin, down from 20-30 years to 5-7 years. |

28.5% are for regulation? Are you fucking mad?

Laptop with arch linux and i3 as window manager and chromium as browser.
(you poll sucks.)
Why do you use chromium instead of chrome (i do too on one of my boxen, can't tell the dif. other than the logo  ) (and his polls do suck) its opensource, chrome is not. but chrome is built upon chromium. and i like opensource because it gives me the ability to know what(and especially what not) my computer runs. |

question is topic.
and what are the legal implications?

*anarchistic libertard rant*
slikroad is the reason for bitcoin to hit 260/lack of regulations is why its down under 100 again. i don't need regulations directly, PEOPLE need regulations to thrust bitcoin. and if i want bitcoin to succeed i indirectly need regulation too because people need them. |
