you guys shouldn't add too much incentive to cash out USD though. 

"Deleted." 

ist denn der bereits relevant für DE?

löl, die "Dame" aus dem OP mischt nicht nur dieses Forum ganz schön auf.

this paper is back from 2002:

Anonymous Identity and Trust for Peer-to-Peer Networks

In this paper, we present a new way of establishing independently-verifiable identities, based on the notion of computationally expensive key generation. We then describe a fully decentralized framework where these identities can be used to assign blame and to construct auditable blacklists of cheaters.

yup, definitely can see it that way, I lately also explain it similarly where bitcoins get their damn value from. It's like stocks, but of an open source project, which is quite a novelty, which makes it an entirely new class of asset. It's a fully transparent openly developed and community-driven global value transfer system, where you can just hold some of its units of accounting which are limited in supply.

hazelnut twigs indeed may have a market value if you collect enough of them. 

a tally stick is an instrument, basically a ledger (with only one entry).

so you may try to settle your debt recorded on the tally stick, the time banking or ripple system with gold, silver, bitcoins, or lots and lots of hazelnut twigs.

I liked the movie 

Bitcoins are a hard asset, i.e. debt-free.

The modern version of tally sticks as debt-bearing contractual instruments would be barter networks, time banking, or Ripple.

and what is the max 

can't we do both at once? we need glowing miners. 

Lass mich raten: Zeitgeist?

Nicht der "freie Markt" treibt einen in die Sklaverei, sondern die Menschen.

"Der Markt" ist an sich keine Ideologie, sondern lediglich ein Synonym für "Angebot und Nachfrage". Dies ist wiederum ein präziseres Modell der Wirklichkeit im Gegensatz zur Arbeitswerttheorie, die offensichtlich verkehrt ist. Wenn ich ein Loch buddel und wieder zuschütte, dann hat das der Gesellschaft nichts gebracht. Im Markt wird eine Leistung nur belohnt, wenn sie auch nachgefragt wird.

Der freie Markt ist kein Widerspruch zur ursprünglichen Idee des Sozialismus, der eigentlich nur von den Arbeitern selbstverwaltete Betriebe sehen möchte. Dies dürfte heute eigentlich realisierbar sein, es fehlt an zielgerichteten Initiativen. Die heutigen hierarchischen Strukturen in Unternehmen (also was gemeinhin als "Kapitalismus" bezeichnet wird) sind eigentlich noch im Feudalismus verwurzelt.

Aber auch in einem solchen Sozialismus wird es (positiven) Wettbewerb geben: Wenn Arbeiterkollektiv A halt nur Scheiße an Schuhen produziert, dann wird es von Arbeiterkollektiv B verdrängt werden und sich neue Beschäftigung suchen müssen. Sowas kann man nur verhindern, wenn man die Produktion von Schuhen weltweit gleichschaltet. Und ein solches Bestreben ist planwirtschaftlich und endet mit Sicherheit ebenso hierarchisch.

aber der ist doch foll unsozial du!

yo dawg... 

mein monitor is auch'n großer tv, aber da is richtiger pc dran, so was wie eingebaute browser und solchen müll werd ich wohl nie verwenden.

oha, schade, na denn gute besserung!


wa? grillen? 'nen bär? woher nehmen wenn nich... darf man auch nich so ohne weiteres, sind doch auch eine aussterbende art, oder nich? 

If we need a banking service in the future (aka a service that mediates between lenders and savers), then it must be a fully transparent operation, democratic and community-owned. Blockchain technology could be used for full accountability.

I do like software development, although I could need a change from time to time. I like clean code and making things the correct way. I don't sleep well after dirty hacks. I'd like to have more time to learn Haskell and make a project, because I believe FP languages are the only sensible future for non-hardware related software development.

I also enjoy discussing economics, society and what Bitcoin could mean to the world lately.

I'd also like doing and playing music again. I play bass guitar, and also did some backing vocals and composing/arrangement work in a symphonic rock/metal band. I'd like to improve some of my skills here.


1-2 for a side-job, 1-3 for a full-time job.

If there is a corporation behind it, they might as well release such a currency in a centralized way, with a central transaction database, and do without all that mining overhead.

What Facebook and Google (Plus) today might try though is to popularize a Ripple-like community credit system.

That's right, I don't disagree. What I meant is that I seem to have thoughts, hence I can say that there seems to be a concept existence. They don't have to be necessarily my thoughts either, it can be something that somehow flows through me, and what is this I anyway, I'm far from defining you or me or anything.


At this point I'm far from defining the concept of a proof either.

I think, therefore I am.

All we know is that there is existence.


Which can we ponder against non-existence.


That's like binary. From here comes duality. From duality we get math. It is fundamental. Maybe the impenetrable material world is an expression of how we as endless beings perceive cryptographic hash functions created in the etherial stream by who knows who.
