I don't disagree that violence is suboptimal... which is why the optimal use of violence is violence against violence.  But of course violence is poorly defined, private property for instance - is stealing violence?

You could punish stealing only by stealing back more (without real violence).  Debtors prisons are gone for example.  Fraud could be punished by black listing like bad credit is.

But if you have someone that is going to slaughter and eat everyone (which can go on indefinitely, suboptimal or not)... what else are you going to do but violence back.

I think you are looking at this the wrong way.

Your goal is less violence as an end in itself.  When violence is a means towards any given end.  Maximum total material wealth turns out to be produced by using violence only in defense of private property.

Violence is simply a feature of our physical existence and isn't going anywhere.

The ceiling on 'all' is that a government that would tolerate bitcoin would also tolerate gold and silver, much more tried and true currencies that would limit bitcoin's market share.

I think Windows is broken entirely because Microsoft's customers (the average person) doesn't know or care about security.  So Microsoft has no incentive to expend its 1000x resources on security.

The Linux user is more discerning, and so Linux has to do better.

It seems to be more about moderation than scams, the site not having user moderation (vote up, vote down, mark as spam), and instead having to have moderators policing it.  Someone thought newbie restrictions would be a good idea.  Does it work?  I don't think so, the newbie section seems no worse than the main section.

Unless you mean people trusting people based on how many posts they have, if their forum reputation is all they have to offer as collateral against scams, then a better forum reputation (measured in hours required to acquire it) takes on some meaning.

over 9000!?

In theory diversification, but in practice litecoin offers very little of this.

Change password under account settings appears to be broken on long password with symbols.  I'm guessing it's either being truncated or incorrectly encoded/decoded.
