Interesting you respond only to say "Okay". I am interested in your thoughts. Why else would I have a conversation with you?

I am happy. That's why I am capable of acting with no remorse.

I am also entitled to the things I desire once I have the strength to attain them.

You're speaking to a solipsist, joint. I am quite aware it's all a matter of perception but I will stand by my preferences. I am not absolutely dependent on them but I do value absolute individual liberty and I will not just simply throw it aside. It costs me nothing for it is who I am.

Is a man not entitled to his desires?

In summary, yes, I can do the same things with a 100-pound bag on my back but is it a sin to want the bag gone nonetheless?

the joint, a cushy bureaucrat job is not my idea of freedom.

I want the ability to build, to think, to speak and to organize as I please with no restriction. That's what brings me pleasure. All the wealth and benefits in the world would bring no such happiness; not if the potentially great minds of this world are reduced to sheep.

To reach retirement, that's easy given enough patience. I am not afraid of not reaching financial stability. I am not even afraid of having a hard life. I like the outdoors. I like hunting.

What I am afraid of is complete bondage in what I wish to do. That's what I value: True freedom.

An easy living with all the amenities? That means nothing to me. Actually, it's easily achievable for somebody not afraid of sweat.

An easy living with no responsibility is only valuable to the people who have had their spirits broken and their bodies poisoned and bloated with garbage.

The world's "poor" and "middle-class" spend their days buying consumerist garbage, drinking, gambling and wasting their time on prolefeed-like media. The high-level corporate, government and banking classes use the power of law to end competition and collect from the working class through tax-hikes, sanctions and ever-increasing inflation. They live lives of unrestricted leisure while most of us work for them through the interest rates on country's debts, the taxes we pay and, again, inflation.

The mass majority voluntarily displays their lives, beliefs and activities on Facebook and "Check-in" location tracking services, which is thereby scrutinized by the powers that be. The NSA collects encrypted and unencrypted web traffic and stores it on their servers indefinitely, to then be cracked and read for potential threats. As we speak, the CIA plans to implant low-power tracking devices in lamps, appliances and other products: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7Ct7QwxP23U .

They don't want anybody threatening their power.

Potential dissidents are tracked, monitored and labeled as terrorists with very broad criteria. Over a million normal people are put on no-fly lists and are subject to restrictions in their daily lives through background checks among other things. What lies ahead could be anything.

Honestly, I feel the totalitarian state is already here. How about you? Do you trust the powers that be?

Welcome to the public sector.

Heh, I just mailed it off with little thought. I'll send you an invoice soon.

I don't care what the means are. They have the direct ability and financial incentive to influence the dev team to their whims -- and vice-versa. The 30%+ hash rate is a dangerous majority and needs to be lowered to less than 10%.

I WILL NOT REST UNTIL DEEPBIT IS A SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF ALL BITCOIN SHAREHOLDERS.

Bitcoin shareholders, your assets are in the hands of this monstrosity. Do you want that to change?

Join me. Join the cause of getting all miners on P2Pool and away from these power-wielding parents we call pools.

I just want to state that, yes, http://bitkoin.su is a proud sponsor of the London Bitcoin Conference.

I'll get to this tonight. I've been busy but now I have a chance.

This auction is closed. I will contact the buyer soon.

Yeah, I now see Luke's intentions are fine. The solution is now to make a Bitcoin client with TOR built-in.

Matthew, you're too good for this. I hate to see you waste your energy on something so minuscule. So what if I am reactionary? Don't you have a girl to fuck and a magazine to print?

That's irrelevant if people don't know what's in the upgrade. That's why I am calling for awareness and NOT trusting people's word. We need to read in between the lines and not just the title.

Sadly, for my sense of empathy, /b/ already does this.

I apologize for my outburst. I now understand.

I cede the remainder of my time to future statements.

It seems I am overreacting. I truly understand what this actually is now but I am still skeptical.

If Luke-Jr could find the pictures of thousands of naked teenagers on Facebook through obscure means, should those be made publicly available and easily viewed?

I see no benefit in making IPs easily accessible. I see it only as a means to instill fear and control.

I have no philosophy. I just want privacy to be inherent in Bitcoin.

Anyways, you're being retarded, so no fucks are given, Matthew.

Being audited by the IRS because your IP was on a compromised node is far more severe than stalking Mr. Luke-Jr's merge requests.

One entails costly paperwork and possibly bankruptcy. The other entails minor social consequences.
