But an owner of a forest who preserves a species that might otherwise become extinct, has tremendous opportunities to profit from that in the long-term future.

I would have the decisions made by scientists, sociologists and philosophers
OMG Do you realy believe this? So you'll allow people to use public force at their will, only because those people have a piece of paper called a diploma, saying they are "philosophs" or "scientists"? |

It's basically based upon PHP and MySQL. Good thing about this is that it is open-source, although I had never heard about this license (Open Software License). It might be interesting to modify it and to have it support bitcoin, possibly using the PHP API to mybitcoin.com, for instance. I suck at PHP though, and I hate Apache. But hopefully someone would like to work on this. www.prestashop.com |

Then you sir, have an awesome real name  During my studies the sysadmins had some weird rule to come up with 8 letters-longed usernames. They used to take the first 6 letters of the name, and the 2 first letters of the firstname. With my name, this gave "grondilu" and I thought it sounded pretty cool. So I kept it later on. |

Those debates are useless.
Nobody should decide for me how I should spend or save my money. This is only my decision to make.
People who think that a bit of inflation is good for the economy can just use paper money.
Other people will use precious metals and cryptocurrencies.
Planified economy sucks and has always failed.

As a byproduct, maybe, but using fission to convert heavier elements to lighter ones just because they're precious for this brief time being is an unconscionable waste IMHO.
If it is profitable then it is not, by definition, a waste. |

I insist that it's probably useless to preserve such a huge jungle just for the sake of preserving it. It's pointless. Preserving small parts of it might be interesting, but not all.
I have to agree with caveden, although I'm not that extreme. In any way, what we should do about tropical forests, is not for a bunch of ecolocrats to decide. |

Adding and subtracting electrons is easy, it's the removal/addition of protons and neutrons that's the tricky part It can actually be done, but it requires a particle accelerometer. Also, if you detonate a H bomb next to a kilogram of lead, I guess you might create a few atoms of gold. |

Replacing password with GPG-like system in the bitcoin economy.
I've been thinking about that some time ago, but now it appears to me that GPG is definitely not appropriate for such use. However, normally openssl makes use of key pair cryptography. I can SSH to a distant server without having to enter a password, for instance. Basically I just have to put my ssh public key on the distant server. I don't know why no website is doing anything alike. There is something I must be missing, because as I understand it, HTTPS relies on the same technology. |

What do you mean? Should I remind you that ECDSA doesn't support encryption?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, it seems to me that bitcoin doesn't need much more developpement, does it?

Bitcoins - because you cant send gold by email.
I don't like this one, since you can't really send bitcoins via email, can you? |

I think Bitcoin developpers don't need donations. Supporting bitcoin just consists in contributing to the bitcoin economy. Moreover, developpers can always sollicitate donations by putting ther bitcoin address in their signature.
That's why there is no "donate page" on the bitcoin website.

Instead of stamping onto the banknotes, why not affix a small label, the kind that can easily be peeled off. Then no-one can say that the note has been defaced.
It would much more expensive. |

Ok, I think I'm beginning to see where you getting at, although it's still not quite clear since in your article you actually mention several solutions that are quite close to what you're advocating (such as Diaspora).
I guess I just have to re-read your article.

In your article, you write: "It is not possible anymore to be active on the web without an email address. Most services require that you provide a valid email address." Don't you know about the excellent www.mailinator.com ? |
