all this talk about linking to real identity, why on earth would you want to do that. its essentially just a fancy fidelity bond. the less one party knows about the other party the better it works.

i always had my own horse growing up, its not that great. though in the interest of full disclosure, my mom would ride for like 12 hrs strait and i had to keep up with her and saddles hurt like a motherfucker after sitting in them for 10+ hours. kind of soured my experience a little so i may be biased.

eh, if this thing ever goes mainstream everyone will just say bits anyway. "How much is that apple?", "Two bits please".

its possible that much of the information contained in this document is accurate but it is almost certainly written by a conspiracy theorist not a conspirator. Supposing for the sake of discussion that everything written here is accurate, why would a shadow government archist write it all down in document form? this is the sort of information that would be passed down from father to son by word of mouth in a private place.

They own everything, started way back in london. Where the 1st stock market was created.
The fist stock markets were created in rome. The oldest since the fall of rome comes from amsterdam. So this isn't even close to accurate. |

There could be an economy for blacklists but the possibilities of this overwhelm it. It opens the door to all kinds of possibilities including state recognition of a personally controlled and issued identity opening wide the door for systems like liquid democracy and webs of trust. Identity trading could be risky though and DNA as a private key might raise a few eyebrows.
Hmmm, they can't be absolute identities, as by definition you can obtain more than one (just like actual passports). And an identity based on your DNA has the smallish problem of identical twins. and chimeras  |

Why did I download so much Blick-182 when I can only stand like 5 of their songs?
maybe your subcouscious mind likes it more than your supraconscious mind. |

i dont think its really their fault. they had something like 4 million dollars stolen from them by the us government.

on capitalization, I like this lots: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Introduction#Capitalization_.2F_NomenclatureAccepted practice is to use Bitcoin (singular with an upper case letter B) to label the protocol, software, and community, and bitcoins (with a lower case b) to label units of the currency. but when it comes to the plural, I can't find solid info. Personally I've been using bitcoin as the plural. "I have 5 bitcoin" instead of "I have 5 bitcoins" then it gets hairy with fractions... do you have "0.8234 bitcoin" or "0.8234 bitcoins" when looking at the SwC FAQ we write "Why do bitcoins have value?" should it be "Why do bitcoin have value?" because that sounds fucked when reading it in my head. technically its bitcoinz |

Who cares. Don't break laws when using bitcoin. You should be fine.
i wish it was that simple. unfortunately EVERYONE is a felon. the average normal neighbor joe commits 3 felonies a day. you cant just "not break the law". not even a law professor knows how to do that. |

Am I off topic enough if I take the opportunity to say you rock simply for having Hoppe as your avatar?

I can understand why the creator has not come forward, for obvious reasons, but Bitcoin imo would be taken much more seriously to the majority of big investors if the creator was at least contactable. So I vote, yes!
i disagree. if satoshi came forward than the story about bitcoin would disappear and be replaced by a story about satoshi. just like the media did with the snowden revelations which quickly became a story about snowden, and his girlfriend, and his dog, and his lost sock, anything other than the revelations themselves. |

It's not the general up trend, its the wild peaks and troughs....if I went to a restaurant and ordered dinner, it could be 10% more expensive between the time I order it and the time I've eaten it...who the hell in the real world wants that worry??  ....and yet people wonder why general merchant and consumer adoption is non-existent of cryptos.
I WISH one would stabilize, then we would see a real revolution.
we have firms like bitpay to deal with that problem. for the user, yea it may be a wild ride but the general trend is up, that beats some other currencies i know. Eh it doesn't bother me because i know its more likely that it will be 10% cheaper. Still you make a good point. This problem will correct its self when the market becomes more capitalized. Its still just such a tiny blip at the moment. |

just keep it small and quiet. advertize with word of mouth. we can build a network of ordinary people who just drive to meet customers. Mexicans arn't going to tattle tale on you to the cops.

if you leave the biggest pool alive and pull the plug on three smaller pools at the same time then you pretty much gonna have 51% attack...
thats true but its important to understand the limitations of a temporary 51% attack. You cant just say "mowa ha ha ha" and write yourself 1 trillion bitcoins. Now a sustained 51% attack could be a more serious problem but there is no reason to expect the above outlined situation to lead to a sustained 51% attack. |

I think the greed is destroying the decentralization of Bitcoin with an excessive concentration in the pools.
But that still does not have have a simple solution.
The moment that centralization became an issue people would switch to less populated pools and the network would become less centralized and the problem would self correct. Thats the beauty of the situation. the equipment that is operating these pools is spread all over the world and can firctionlessly move between pools so the appearance of centralization that we see from that pi chart up there is very misleading. |

im more worried about operation involving governmental agencies around the globe shutting down most major pools at once. we need to be more concerned aboud pool safety imho.
it wouldn't be pleasant but it wouldn't be the end of the world ether. most miners would just operate without a pool, even with out expecting to profit monetarily just to spite the ass holes who attacked their pools. i know i surely would and if you took a pole I'm willing to bet it would corroborate my claim. |
