Why are people so obsessed with dictionary attacks. It's so easy add something into the passphrase which is not in a dictionary. Just missspell a word. If you speak a local dialect, use some words from that. I doubt it is easy to run a dictionary attack on a passphrase containing bits of Bavarian, Southern Thai or Islay Gaelic.

Establish a resource based economy that provides all people with their basic needs, allows for a safe and high standard of living and encourages all people to meet their highest potential. No longer need to protect or hide irrelevant money.
If my basic needs are met, I'm not going to be meeting my highest potential, I'm going to be fulfilling my basest desires. What are your basest desires and are you doing them now? If not, why not? |

I'm more concerned about Devil's Breath (scopolamine) that cause you to willingly give up your brain wallet. There must be a way to defeat the state of mind it puts you in with a brain wallet device you won't recall while drugged. |

Bitcoin is going to be worth a lot. That is a certainty. There will be bubbles, but only relative to s short time frame. It is just silly that everyone that has extra cash laying around is not buying or mining Bitcoin. Silly indeed.

I could see a physical bitcoin kinda like MintChip using this type of tech. It would be good for small amounts using Electrum or Stratum purchases.
From what I have heard. MintChip sucks. Yeah, but not because of the tech. It's the central control that sucks. Physical bitcoins are cool. We need more tech ideas like NFC to expand the usefulness of BTC. |

Any news?

We all know that eventually all other money systems will fail leaving only one form of money. Let's just call it what it is destined to be. MONEY. "Everyone likes money, that's why they call it money!"

Nowhere in the protocol does it require you to use the term "Bitcoin." Change the name before compiling the souce of your client to whatever you want. Print physical bills and just call them "money." Everybody likes money.

Everyone is forgetting that this is Matthew making an announcement.
I fully expect a follow up post explaining how he is refusing to release a substandard product, forcing him to delay the broadcast of his death indefinitely.

It seems we are all in agreement that Bitcoin is not about Ayn Rand style capitalism. Bitcoin is about privacy and security in financial matters. Ayn Rand style business is about spoiled children not getting their way.

I just find Rand's characters so endearing. It is so easy to feel their emotional journeys. We are so lucky to have had a writer with such a boundless understanding of the human condition. Such thoughtful lovers reveal what a romantic woman Rand must have been. The way she nurtures children to grow up to become people we can admire barely gives you a glimpse at her depth. Her love of animals will just make you weep with joy. Who has dry eyes at the end of her stories? And funny? Her timeless wit will have you rolling with laughter. I highly recommend an Ayn Rand film for a first date.

Cool. But what does this have to do with the OP? |

btw, bitcoin is unbridled capitalism, that's why I'm here... why are you lefties here?
To show that unbridled capitalism in world of 7 million is the fastrack to picking the lowest hanging fruit until there are no more fruit to pick. The free market is the sum of all market participants, each with their own agendas, many, if not most, completely ignorant of what they're doing. Bitcoin is not unbridled capitalism. Try running Bitcoin without the internet. |

Apple offers education discounts. Is that subsidized?
I've never heard of that. Do you have a link? |

You can say that communism was implemented imperfectly, and I say that capitilism now is implemented imperfectly (the imperfection is central banking, minimum wage, and unions), but look at the result of an imperfect communism vs an imperfect capitalism - I'd rather be poor in South Korea than North Korea (where I may actually starve to death!).
If you want to compare communism and capitalism, North Korea would be best compared to many African nations. Rand uses many fallacious arguments to make her points. That's fine for a fiction writer, but just don't take her seriously. Like I said, the magic motor she uses to drive her point is a gimmick like every other fantasy writer uses. In real life, amazingly incredible machines are built by huge government run or at least subsidized enterprises. I didn't see any government try to take Steve Jobs' work away from him because it wasn't that amazing. OTOH, I don't see individuals building space telescopes or super-colliders either and those are pretty amazing. |

Bitcoin has nothing to do with Randian philosphy. It takes a globally funded internet to even begin to develop something like Bitcoin. You can't control your own money and control the network it runs on. It takes a collective agreement to allow the internet to exist. Rand didn't understand that the people that took her father's wealth were desperate and got that way because of unbridled capitalism. It doesn't justify their actions, but for some reason Rand used her spite to justify her own equally unreasonable worldview.
