I would think it's likely the gov there will find ways to get inside to monitor and control, even if it is by counterfiting Bitcoin itself (not bitcoins, i mean the actual Bitcoin project)

People are stupid, no wonder things are way far from perfect when they are the ones making the decisions, on the other hand individuals often also are quite flawed as well...i'm not sure where i'm going with this, TBH i'm not sure where we are going at all...

If people don't like the premining, can't they tweak the client and miner proggies to consider those coins invalid?

That's like saying the world will end after the last minutes of December 31st, that's the end of the calendar...

I was going to PM lolcust about this but I might well ask publicly now that the issue of the pre-coins has come up. I run a wiki about human rejuvenation at http://www.rejuvepedia.org and I am hoping to secure some donations. One of the Rejuvepedia spin-off projects called "Project In-Utero" will soon have a website and forum (hosted at www.in-utero.org) that will hopefully sprawn a collaborative online community around the idea that we can completely rejuvenate a human body over 9 months by using a tissue engineered and wetware controlled placenta and uterus. The person being rejuvenated will effectively be spending 9 months back in the womb and when they come out will still be an adult but have younger looking skin than a teenager as their body will be completely rejuvenated. The placenta will feed the person with stem cells and effectively the person will be in a state of anaerobic respiration. I have a theory that there is something very special about anaerobic respiration that makes cells proliferate as they don't need to repair oxidative damage. Of course this will be tested on mice (and other mammals) long before we start to proceed to work out how we could ethically proceed to do this with humans. I want to put forward some bounties to develop the art-work or animations showing this happening to help inspire people and capture their imaginations. I am hoping to secure some coins towards these bounties but I will contribute to them myself as well. Lolcust: could you possibly contribute some Tenebrix to this project? I have to get ready for work now but my contract is ending in a few days time so I will have a lot more time to work on this then. I know next to nothing about biology, but I might contribute. ... That whole i'll build a bigass womb and unbirth your ass so you can get younger by cutting the oxygen to your brain thing doesn't sound all that scientific...i would hold my money till it undergoes the peer review process and stuff. |

What will be providing oxygen for a whole adult human in your system?
edit:oops, missed the note about going to another thread, sorry
|

Don't fetuses get oxygen from the blood of their mother?
|

Won't there always be at least one or two big exchanges that will still allow such usage?

That interesting attempt at scifi...

In the end, is this of any concern for the general Bitcoin using public or just a technical curiosity?

Edit: The above post shows me logged into irc at the same time as mr_moon but with a different ip. We are clearly different people, this should be enough lay to rest any claims that I am mr_moon.
Based on just that? No, not clearly; it would be easy to run two clients side by side with one of them connecting thru proxy, or two machines and different internet conenctions (there are even cellphones with IRC clients nowadays). I'm not saying anything about the accusations, i'm just saying that different IPs in IRC (or many other systems) doesn't mean much. |

Do you think this is intentional or is it an unexpected sideeffect of the algorithm and the operator is unaware of the connection?

There is no good way out once you're accused of being Satoshi; Satoshi is considered to be such a genius, that it is obvious that if he wanted to participate without revealing himself as being the Satoshi he would create an identity that wouldn't easily be matched to Satoshi; being different from Satoshi is what Satoshi would do. On the other hand, if you have similarities to Satoshi, it could be said Satoshi intentionally lets those similarities be present so people can point out Satoshi wouldn't be dumb enough to be that obvious if he wanted to stay under the radar.

Is it about taxes as a whole or just too much taxes?

I wonder if once the operator notices the bot has been made they will tweak the behavior of the bot to try to make it appear as if the bot isn't there anymore...

Weren't business, the economy, and citizens being hurt way more back when there were no tax and therefore no services (roads, police etc) that taxes pay for?

Basicly i'm trying to understand how much your influence, or lack of, into the environment affects your rights in your land.
|
|
|

If you could, and did, build a sealed box surrounding/within your land, with the contents making you selfsuficient and without producing anything sent to the outside; would that give you any more rights on what you can do inside "your" land?
Are you boxing off right to the center of the earth? Good question...when you "own" land, how deep does your ownership goes? |

My prediction: Bitcoin will flatline until the big event in 2012
No, Bitcoin will be the big even in 2k12. ¬.¬ |
