Of course, I still hate brainwallets: I don't like the idea of users taking their Bitcoins to their own grave when they get hit by a bus, but so many people are so passionate about it, it's tough to ignore.
With multi-signature transactions, there's no reason an output need be tied to just one user's brain wallet, yeah? |

I have a server in my house which is connected to the Bitcoin network through a VPN all the time, with an empty wallet. When I start Bitcoin on my desktop, I use the -connect switch to connect only to my server's node. Unfortunately, this means I still need to catch up which can be rather slow. Is there a way I could tell armory on my desktop to connect to the Bitcoin instance running on the server and not use the block index file?

You can connect to the mullvad servers using openVPN or PPTP. PPTP might be useful to use the VPN on your android phone. Their 'custom' client uses openVPN afaik, but you can also use a plain openVPN client. +1 for Mullvad. I connect with OpenVPN through the network manager applet in Ubuntu. Easy like Sunday morning. |

I wonder what producers of hemp fuel do with all the waste product (everything but seeds)... SR?
Similar to how cannabis plants are bred for lots of cannabinoids, hemp plants are bred for attributes suitable to industrial purposes, and have very little cannabinoids. You won't be getting high at all (or at least very much) off of hemp. |

I noticed your soaps (at least ones I looked at) contain palm oil. Do you use ecologically safe and sustainable palm oil (e.g. not that which comes from the destruction of orangutan habitat)?

Just an FYI... I initiated two wire transfers, on 7/27 and 7/28 and they both hit my bank account on 8/2.

LightRider, I agree that the population wouldn't shrink. So let's say humans, due to very efficient production, want for nothing and have much more leisure time. Let's say that in his leisure time, one person creates beautiful artwork that appeals to a huge audience. How does he determine who gets to own his art, and what do they give him in exchange?

But a machine is more than idea. It is a physical manifestation made up of scarce resources.

I think you got the saying wrong.
It is:
THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
Money is just a tool if you use it correctly and for the right purposes.
Herp derp? Or is it the love of money that’s the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love its nature. To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It’s the person who would sell his soul for a bitcent, who is loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money–and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know they are able to deserve it.

Actually, commerce predates money by thousands of years. Money was invented to account for debt, not wealth.
So, from what I understand there are two theories of money. One is that money arose as a medium of exchange (more efficient than barter). The other is that money arose as a way to denominate debts (more accurate than keeping track in your head). Are there any implications if the second is true rather than the first? |

Rather than swapping with only one other person, what if there was a big bowl that everyone put exactly one physical bitcoin into, which was then mixed around, and everyone took exactly one physical bitcoin out?

I hope I'm wrong but somehow if Bitcoin and wikiwikispeed is such a perfect match, why so late?
My understanding is that the OP pitched the idea of Bitcoin funding to the existing Wikispeed people and they said "sure, that sounds like it wouldn't suck, you handle that" or something. Late will be the realm of major car companies, I'd say. |

Is it bad because roads serve to move wares around and capital monies sometimes don't?
Yes, sometimes they don't. Like when people want to save. |

It's like going from city A to city B: you don't want to stop in the middle of the road. And you can harm other drivers by doing it.
Money as a road... I think this metaphor may be worse than the internet as a series of tubes or a bunch of trucks. |

There is no possible way to move funds faster in the fiat banking world.
Oh yeah? What about a private jet stuffed full of cash, mister smarty pants? |

The only thing a cash-money needs that bitcoin doesn't have is a compulsion to circulate.
Why does cash-money require a compulsion to circulate? I'm sure you'll explain this away as saying you didn't really mean this word, but something like "incentive", but I find it interesting nonetheless. compulsion
1. An irrational need to perform some action, often despite negative consequences.
2. The use of authority, influence, or other power to force (compel) a person or persons to act.
3. The lawful use of violence (i.e. by the administration).
Do you understand the concept of time preference? Even if the exchange rate between bitcoins and some good I desire is constantly changing in my favor, I still desire that good and at some point my preference for the good now overrides my preference for a lower cost later. For a real life example, you must look no further than consumer technology like computers and televisions. If I wait a year to buy one, the cost will go down and the quality will go up. Yet, I still buy one today because otherwise I will be forced to go a whole year without. |
