Read books, not websites.
Seriously? Like the information in "books" is any more "real" than "websites" </rant> Maybe I'm too old, but I don't know many economic websites. |

A failover would be nice. So we can continue talking while the original server is getting its shit together.

Any German speaker here? I figure I might have better response if a German speaker write in German to the organization at vorstand@ccc.de. |

I don't know how Anarchists expect their ideal societies to function without at least a minimal stable governing body enforcing property rights or lack of thereof. I'm a minarchist mainly because I believe liberty has to be enforced.
Yes, it does sound hard to enforce property rights in an anarchy. But, bitcoin is an economy that functions without central banks. So, I have some hope that we can function without a coercive state apparatus. |

So, are people actually serious about this idea?

I chose left-libertarian, but I'm thinking I'm really an anarcho-capitalist in practice. My understanding (incorrect perhaps?) is that they're basically the same thing, except that left-libertarians actively pursue counter-economics as their strategy for achieving anarchism. Am I confusing this with agorism?
Maybe I'll just say I'm a voluntaryist and leave it at that. I don't particularly like the term "anarcho-capitalist" because it emphasizes capitalism, whereas I believe any voluntary interaction is moral, capitalistic or not (although I believe that in voluntaryism, 95% of economic behavior would be anarcho-capitalism, but my point is that it doesn't have to be, so emphasis on "voluntary" as being the overarching guide for society).
Take Linux for example. That's the ultimate example of voluntaryism. It's NOT socialism like what some people claim, because there's no force or violence involved. It's also not typically the type of thing that people think of as capitalism, even though it is strongly related due to its decentralized nature.
Voluntaryist out.
I agreed with this assessment. I think in the end, we're voluntaryists at heart. |

Those who running crying to mama will probably end up getting blacklisted by people in the bitcoin economy, or maybe it will start an evil worse reaction....

To starting an armed struggle against the authorities. In this case, blood is spilled.
The street protests means that.
If you want to die against military trained killers, good luck with that. What you need to do is: 1. Undermine their credibility. 2. Reduce dependence on the state. 3. Increase your credibility. Rebellions will likely be crushed. Even if you succeed, a power-hungry demagogue will rise to power and make your life even worser. Don't count on it. |

I guess the prices (in EUR) can be calculated into BTC by using http://bitcoinwatch.com/ ratio. I would accept the ratio displayed there. While BTC seems to be a variable currency I cannot integrate a fixed BTC pricing plan on the website. Also another problem that I see is that Bitcoin doesn't offer subscription plans, so I guess all services will need to be prepaid for a certain period (perhaps 1 year). Regards, Jan Bitcoin is not a bank or an institution. It's simply cash money. If you want to be paid in subscription, you will have better luck of interfacing with bitcoin banks like mtgox and mybitcoin. |

Someone said, "One charity at a time."
I am perhaps more afraid of promoting bitcoin and looking like a spammer more than you are. But indeed, there's a purpose to my statement "One charity at a time". I want to raise a good amount of money for the charity that the bitcoin community donate to. |

In the absence of the state companies can be pressured by market forces and boycotted / ostracized if necessary. When the profits can be used to lobby politicians however that is what truly distorts the market.
Pretty much every big company that we think of probably distort the market in some way. |

But I see what I did wrong... I was looking so hard for an excuse to stop working that I posted on the wrong topic... I should have started this on the one where porn was bashed, not here.
I didn't bash porn. In fact I love porn. It's just that I am worried about crazy people running after bitcoiners. |

Using the statist court system to enforce contract is a stupid way of doing things.
It's expensive, uncertain, and slow.
Rather, arbitration services should naturally arose over time. That will become the basis of the bitcoin common law system. Its service will actually be subjected to...market process.

Point: It doesn't matter if you're for or against "hyperlocalism"... it IS a hot topic. It's very smart marketing to piggyback on that idea... for the purposes of marketing Bitcoin.
I have friends who are Very hot on that concept. It's a very popular notion in liberal urban New York City. We get all our dairy raw from the cow, delivered, in Midtown Manhattan.
Very well...I just have an allergic reaction to ideas that I considered fallacious notions, especially anything that threaten my material prosperity.(Long term, at least) |
