That's exactly what I want here - regulations. To stop any idiot coming with VaginaCoin, PenisCoin, BukkakeCoin and similar bullshit.

I have a different idea: We all just use BTC. 

I'd bet bitcoin is already illegal in North Korea, because people cannot freely access the Internet there. In the free world, some government could say that bitcoin is used for terrorism and money laundering (*), but as long as there are regular businesses using it, this will guard any government from trying to make bitcoin illegal.

Actually there is. The US has export laws on encryption past a certain strength.

However, your first thoughts on the subject are more relevant. As has been mentioned before Bitcoin doesn't encrypt any transfer of information. Everything is public and broadcast in the clear. So "bitcoin" as you point out being an arbitrary word is really just information. Indeed, it's possible to use a brain wallet to store your private key and carry an unlimited amount of bitcoins in your head.

So making "bitcoin" illegal is nearly synonymous with making information, or thoughts illegal.

Good luck with that.

Wow. Alreaddy reached page 8. Guys, i think it is time now to turn this in popcornthread.

Merci,

1. When a checkpoint is reached all blocks that do not belong to the best chain are removed forever from the block chain (or from the inventory)

2. All block hashes up to the last checkpoint are stored inside the Satoshi client so that no unknown block can be sent.

Today is day 37 without a cigarette and I feel really good about this.

Please post if you have quit smoking recently.

Does this detail matter in the large picture?

Fact is, Bitcoin is supposed to be an international currency, and we have nearly the whole world population using the metric system.

Cyprus, China, Argentina, all the countries Bitcoiners are so hyped about use the metric system.

USA and UK will have to adapt, not the other way around.

As for celsius, do we really need a whole new system just to make it easier to remember the temperatures at which water boils and freezes? Really? 32, 212, that simple!

Sinon je me demandais un truc...Est ce que si je voulais lancer un "robinet à bitcoin" je devrais moi aussi faire un site au design le plus "retro années 90" possible  ? s'agit il d'une sorte de code au sein de la "communauté des développeurs de faucet" ?
