In order to keep from getting campaign funds from foreigners candidates are supposed to get the name and address of every donor. Even when accepting bitcoins as another New Hampshire candidate discovered a few years ago.
I think this is Perry's point. The whole FEC is unconstitutional since a campaign contribution is actually an act of political speech so First Amendment protected. And because he is refusing US dollar donations then he doesn't hit the $5,000 threshold that triggers the bureaucratic machinery now built up around electioneering. He's basically trying to opt-out completely and go full bitcoin, litecoin .... |

Ripple is a system where fiat and btc debts are transferred cryptographically across the network in optimal path routing.
People need to be very clear whether they hold assets or debts or they will get Rippled Off.TM

I was really expecting Elon Musk to get back into payments systems via bitcoin ... that would put the fear into PayPal having their founder breathing down their necks.
Guess revolutionary electric vehicles and rocket ships keeps him occupied these days.

Curious ... Switzerland is not listed as poll option?
Why can't Switzerland be the Switzerland of bitcoin?

You can ;
- play poker for bitcoin
- see if bitcoin poker sites want to take on rookie coder to gain experience (e.g. Seals with Clubs)
- check our "Project Development" section for bitcoin poker projects that might have openings
- just hack some Open Source bitcoins stuff for fun and play poker for bitcoins for a living
- day trade in your pyjamas on Mt. Gox .... <---- NO!

Inflatacoin fork troll thread ... how original  .... must have just had another wave of later adopters arrive |

sounds exactly like how LIBOR works ... from the sworn testimony of the banksters involved, just a little bit here and there, noone will notice and it is only a multi-trillion dollar market.  |

That was a very worthwhile read. I'm liking the deliberate, measured, methodical approach George is taking to bitcoin as he has done this since day 1. His outside observer analysis is second to none at this stage, bitcoiners need to take very seriously his critiques. It is easy to be swept up when you are invested (I don't think George is from reading his stuff) I'm not too concerned about the finer details of why someone first traded bitcoins for USD, or anything else for that matter, that is a point for historians now imo. The fact is they did, and it could easily happen again for any other market based Internet currency that wants to get boot-strapped onto the network. In fact, if a corporate body wanted to do it just using their branding and some kind of promotional "free money" give-away I'm pretty sure any competitive currency could be launched fairly easily. Paradoxically, the very innovations that may eventually doom bitcoin also explain why it deserves to be regarded as one of the most promising developments in the history of money since the invention of ordinary coins. For, as I explain in my paper on "Synthetic Commodity Money," its otherwise modest achievement proves that, with the help of the right software, one might design an "ideal" money commodity, with a supply function guaranteed to achieve whatever criterion of macro-economic stability one likes--be it a constant nominal money stock growth rate, a stable general price level, or a stable level or growth rate of nominal GDP. No muss, no fuss, and, best of all, no FOMC. Admittedly, it's only a possibility. But what a possibility! I liked particularly these points and thoughts on better Internet currencies and bitcoiners need to watch very closely for competitors that WILL arise that can fulfill other macro-economic properties better than bitcoin ... like one with an algorithmically ensured stable value (e.g. against a basket of real world goods, milk, bread, burgers, fuel, etc). This is a difficult problem to do with a decentralised, trust-noone currency since who's commodity ticker would you trust once they know it is being used to set the value of a currency? (take note Fed. Res,, CME, Comex think we haven't noticed?) |

Good stuff guys.
Glad you got Bradley Jansen from freebanking.org ... he very aptly spelled out what is going to be the coal face in the regulatory reaction (via the abominable Bank Secrecy Act). Monetary freedom is not going to be a reality until the laws around money and private banking are changed.

Thanks. I'm now trying this on another box and it's builds but won't seem to connect bitmessagemain.py: cannot connect to X server Bitmessage doesn't use servers except, I suppose, DNS servers in order to help it bootstrap. Perhaps it is referring to the OS's GUI? No, it is trying to connect to the X server .. i.e. it can't open a display. |

What if the whole crash was the mid-May'11 phase of the bubble (for those of you who were there back then)? What if it all ends, not at $266, but at $1000?  I was here for the 2011 bubble, I would enjoy this scenario greatly! Thousands of bitcoiners are going to retire soon! Several hundred already did methinks ... |

The UK banking system is dying. Recently frequent service outages, nationalised Mega banks, actually had the first bank runs in the West for decades in UK. All the money printing, suspension of rule of law for banksters, now over-regulation of the customers not the bankers and you have a recipe for a complete lock-up.
I'm not sympathetic really, since it is the City of London that has housed and fostered the worst of the criminal, crooked, greedy, corrupt and incompetent banking practices that have been exported all over the West, Wall St. is branch of the City of London in many ways. Blowback is a bitch.
Physician heal thyself.

Dancing on the head of a pin is where we eat breakfast! This more than your average waltz ... merry jigs, tangos, booty-shakes, moon-walks and I think I saw one guy doing backflips on the head of pin once. |
