I have been thinking about how disputes can been solved on this forum and would like to present the following idea.
We could have a bitcoin court that operates in the same way as in the real world.
For example if two parties decide on using a trusted member of this forum as an escrow and a dispute regarding payment arises.
A court is held by starting a new thread, the judge and jury is selected at random. If either party has good cause, they can reject a particular judge or jury member.
Prosecution and defense can speak for them selves or select someone else to represent them.
Once all the evidence has been heard from both parties. The jury decides by PMing there vote to the judge and the escrow is informed which party is to receive the funds. In the case of a split decision fund can be split 50%.
The court would only work if the admin of BitconTalk were willing to ban members from posting in the thread, if they are found in contempt. The ban would last the duration of the proceedings.
Please discuss.

Bitcoin is vastly more utilizable that other payment methods and I think it could mature to handle many times more transactions that other payment methods such as visa.
Essentially your solutions to scaling involve the centralization of the block-chain.
Or am I wrong?
If I am right then I think all the good things about bitcoin will be gone. I suspect that once bitcoin starts to centralize, people will move to an alternative chain.
There must be a better solution.

You guys worry too much. No, the bitcoin network could not scale to the point that every person on Earth has a full client. Yes, there are known pathways to deal with that, which have been generally known since Satoshi's white paper and are now very well understood. No, they are not yet coded. Yes, there are people who are working on those implementations at this time.
What solution are they using to solve the bandwidth and processing requirements?

Avoidance is interesting because it suggests something deeper, something you don't want me to know.
I don't think google is going to help me understand your personal opinions.

I just want to know your opinion, but its interesting how you avoid the question.

Ok, let me reword the question.
Do you think other religions are as valid as your own, or do you think yours is the one true religion?
|

@ridgemont4
What is you opinion of other religions?
|
|
|
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Recent scientific studies have show that the higher your intelligence the more likely it is that you will be an atheist.
A resent, but less scientific, poll on this forum would suggest that this community has a higher than average intelligence.
So, anyone trying to push a religious argument is probably going to have a hard time.
