Um, I wouldn't let me kid under the age of 18 use the Internet. You guys are crazy.

Uhm, your parenting ideals are far more stricter than the rest of us. I was using the internet since I was 12. A LARGE majority of the people here are under the age of 21, and I personally think that is a HUGE plus. We have the youngest generation we can get here, and they will carry interest and support for Bitcoin and projects like it for years and years to come. Our generation will also see half of the lifespan for Bitcoin, and we will be able to make sure it works out. Anyone joining in 10 years from now really won't know what they are doing when they suggest changes unless they really look into Bitcoin's history. People joining in 30 years from now may not even care who Satoshi is.

Nice perspective of the future user !  And for kids on the internet, I think it's important that at a young age they learn to use internet.  I'll set up a computer in the living room for my child to access the internet, in this public room.  For sure I'll have a nice linux proxy by wich all internet traffic will go trought, to filter and log.  I'll be able to speak with them about good and bad thing they encounter on the net.

Internet (and Bitcoin) = overall good revolution made worldwide, at a tremendous fast pace !


I would never practice covert surveillance on my child. I think this is unethical.
Also, in any relationship there has to be trust. Those who sow distrust will reap distrust.

The best thing is to talk to the kids and explain why some things in the internet are harmful for them at their age. It may be acceptable to block certain contents for younger children, but never without explaining to them the reasons for doing so.
