1  Bitcoin / Project Development / [Pre-Announcement] Divided donations on: April 15, 2013, 01:29:15 AM
EDIT: I am really tired so this might be a really bad explanation, I will add a new one tomorrow.

In the past couple of weeks, I have been working on a service that will enable you to split up your donations to multiply different charities.

This is how it will work: You can select which charities you want to donate to and how many percent of the bitcoins you send (to the bitcoin address that will be generated for you) will be given to each of the charities.
You will both be able to browse a list of organisations to give to and add your own addresses.

I will also add a feature where you can beg for bitcoins like outrageousrequests.com but with bitcoin only and completely free.


So I have 2 questions for you:
1. Do you want this?
2. Can you come up with a name for the it (I am really bad at names)?

I will of course give you my real name and address.

I would like to do it but i am not sure if I am good enough, maybe I can write one for free so you can see if you want me?

It's pretty late here so I just go to this shortly and bluntly.

How do people envision libertarian or anarchist society working? Compared to current situation. There has to be some advantages that scale allow on wide variety of fields.

And if everything is in relatively small scale, how will living standards fare? Would we have such things as top end electronics and highly advanced medicine?

Would the living standards be the same, lower or higher?

I probably will think more later today...

To go Rothbard on you:

We operate in a state of anarchy every day. Any time you're not being supervised or controlled by government, you're operating in a state of anarchy. Anytime you're trading, working, playing, sleeping, or eating in a way which is not being directed by a government official, you're doing so in an anarchic environment; you are embracing spontaneous order and self-governance. You are taking personal responsibility for your actions and their outcomes. That is libertarianism.

When you brush your teeth and take a shower in the morning, that is anarchy. When you make breakfast and kiss your wife or husband goodbye for the day, that is anarchy. When you wash your dishes or clean your house, that is anarchy. When you play video games, that is anarchy. When you drive to the store, that is anarchy. When you dance and sing, that is anarchy. When you go to work, that is anarchy. When you go to sleep at night, that is anarchy. When you dream, that is anarchy. It is never far from us. We are always just seconds away from slipping into anarchy.

Anarchy stops the minute the policeman pulls you over because you were going a little faster than everyone else. When you grit your teeth because you have to send your children off to a public school. When you pay your taxes. When you renew your license. When you get a jury summons in the mail. When you see a doctor to get a prescription. When you walk through the body scanners so you can fly on a plane to visit your relatives. Everything else in between is anarchy.

So you tell me... What would it look like if we laid aside the few vestiges of government that yet remain? What would it look like without all of these unnecessary laws, no taxes, and complete freedom to do business and make personal choices insomuch as you didn't violate common law? What would privately run everything look like?

I don't think there would be prisons in a free society because it is a really bad system and even if there were you cant really say that people would be forced to go there since they would have to had agreed to it beforehand in a contract.
Certainly no prisons we would recognize as such. There would probably need to be some sort of place to keep people you're not sure are going to stick around for their arbitration. The catch is, you need to get them to agree to go there. So they'd likely be much nicer than modern jails. Hotels with locks on the outside of the doors. Most arbitration contracts would probably have a detention clause for certain crimes.

I don't see why cops would still be a pain in the ass, i thinks there will be more like security guards are now.
Yup.

Is it some part of American frontier mentality? Having your own land and getting living of such? With small communities.

i imagine that its a lot like the society we have today except you have choice in your government (dont jump on me ancaps i know it wouldn't actually be a government its just dro doesn't mean anything to most people so its easier to explain this way). If you are subscribed to lg government and they piss you off than you stop paying your monthly bill and switch to sprint government. Just like if lg pisses you off today you can unsubscribe from cell phone service and switch to sprint cell phone service.

I expect that the services provided by these competitive free market governments would be better than the services provided by monopolistic government for reasons very similar to why hondas are better than the cars that were produced by the soviet government.

Over all this would lead to a society that was very similar in most ways except it would be less stratified, more wealthy over all, significantly less poverty, higher employment and a legal regime that would focus on prevention rather than cure.

there would still be cops, they would still be a pain in the ass. You would still get speeding tickets. You might even still be searched at the airport. You would still have to pay taxes or something like taxes, you would just get to decide who to pay them to. There would still be prisons and occasionally innocent people would still be forced to go there. Lots of the crappy things that happen now would still happen. But overall things would be better.
I don't think there would be prisons in a free society because it is a really bad system and even if there were you cant really say that people would be forced to go there sense ther would have to had agreed to it beforehand in a contract.

I don't see why cops would still be a pain in the ass, i thinks there will be more like security guards are now.

Guys but someone will have to give me a chance so that I can build my reputation I can't wiat for a long time to build the reputation. If i will wait then LTC difficulty will skyrocket and I will be left in nowhere.
And Paypal is not the only payment processor in the whole world. there are a lot other ways to convert currencies  and withdraw.

Did you really think there were people out there lending out money to complete strangers over the internet?
I did but I don't recommend it
