Might be a big cliché, but I think they want everyone to live in harmony and non-violence. Meaning that nobody possesses anything, everybody works for everyone and you have to share whatever you produce.
But there are limited resources, people like cars, computers, hookers. If you have to share everything what dose one have? Nothing? If you are the only one with water, do you have to share it with everyone so everyone dehydrates? In a 'nobody owning anything' society, there is no impulse for anyone to save up for the bad times. As everyone else will attack you for 'hoarding.' To me any non-capitalistic society will be short-lived. Particularly one that runs on anarchy. Economically it is unsustainable, morally it is evil. |

Very true. But I suspect most anarchists (well at least the left-anarchists) don't like this idea, neither do they like cryptography or money in general.
So what do they like? |

There should be two layers of encryption.
The entire wallet should have (optional) AES encryption.
Nested inside this wallet package there should be a PGP private and public key. This private key should be also encrypted with AES (but with a different passphase)
Every Bitcoin private key should be encrypted independently to the public key, so making a new Bitcoin address will not require entering the private key passphase.
When first loading, Bitcoin will ask for the AES wallet key, if there is one. (this step is optional)
Once the wallet is decrypted, the client will ask "How much funds do you want to make available for spending, and for how long?"
If the answer is more than 'none,' the client will ask for the private key passphase, and decrypt the minimum number of bitcoin private keys required to make the funds available and store them only in memory. The passphase and decrypted global private key will automatically be deleted (from memory) after this operation.
If the user wishes to unlock more funds, or wants to send funds after the unlocked time has expired, the Bitcoin client will ask for the private key passphase again.

I want an easy function call(s) that will take PGP keys (PUBLIC AND PRIVATE) and convert them in/out of OpenSSL keys and give me some basic info about the key like size, algorithm, etc
1. Free (BSD like licence)
2. C++ or C
Easy to integrate into existing open source projects.

(Closed) I am looking for somebody who has experience in technical documentation and specification writing. I am particularity interested in somebody who will be able to join an ongoing project for the development of the Open Transactions GUI. This project is not trivial, and will require somebody who is both very intelligent, and hard working, but most importantly creative. For those who have not developed their portfolio yet, this is a perfect opportunity to prove that you not only can produce formal documentation but can do high level system design. Required: Creative and Intelligent Very good grasp of high-level financial systems Experience or Good knowledge of API development System Design Bonus: Can Program I am generality always online IRC (freenode, user:da2ce7).

Getting a loan of something that is worthless, to pay for something that is of worth... Sound like good business, on everyone's behalf other than the banks.  |

Okay, here's a completely random idea for a thread that's already flooded with ideas. What about using the Chinese character 币 or some stylized variant thereof? 币It means "currency", and if you look, the right-hand side looks like a "b", the center part like a "T", and the bottom half like a turned "C". I'm under the impression that a substantial portion of Bitcoin's early adopters are Chinese. (This being said, my first instinct would be to try to get a double-stroked B identical to the logo into Unicode. By typography-geek standards, it's sufficiently distinct from the Baht symbol.) What a great idea I love 币  |

yeah I left it on a few times before (running on CPU) for battle hardening the network. Like seeding torrents to give to charity.
What would be better is to remove mining from the Bitcoin Client, and create a super user friendly mining software that automatically takes advantage of the CPU or GPU (if available). Create a API so that this mining program so users can get statistics about the rate of Bitcoin being generated directly from their favourite pool. |

Right. It doesn't matter what your nonce is. You could start at 1 and increment by 3. You could start at 10000000 and decrement by 17. Every attempted nonce has the same chance of "cracking the block".
Assuming that SHA256 is uniform and well distributed.  That in for our needs it appears to be close enough to. |

So a libertarian/ancap society can have limits on how much property a person can possess?
No, but there are two rules. You must not have acquired the property by force, and must be making use of it. |

I used the bitcoin calculator to find out on average that it will take me 50 days to generate my first block. What I'm wondering is, if I need to shut off my computer for whatever reason, do I have to start the fifty days all over again once I turn my computer back and start mining again?
Nope, it will just take longer... It is like looking in a pond for a lost coin... the longer that you spend drinking tea, the less time you are looking for the coin. Of course, if you wait too long, the mud will go over the coin and make it harder to find. Meaning that the difficulty will go up, so it takes even longer to find the lost coin. The key difference between the analogy above and what is really happening with Bitcoin is that the pond is the sea, and the coins are the sand. There are lots of Gold grains evenly spread out in the sand, and you need only to find one Gold grain to win the 'block,' as the difficulty is increased, the size of the Gold grain that you need to find gets larger, so it take more tries. |

This is a hard project, that will require both technical skill and help from other forum members... The goal is for a simple Chinese TOR website that explains how to set-up and use Bitcoin-OTC Total payment is 60 BTC. including payment for the hosting of the server. etc. Must be both easy to understand and be non-technically threatening. Must also take into account (or work around) the legal and social requirements in China. I hope that this project isn't too hard. Overall it involves: Obtaining and setting up TOR. Using Mybitcoin.com as a wallet. Creating a GMX or GMAIL user account on TOR Setting Up GPG, creating a new Identity. Installing and Setting up Thunderbird with Enigmail, connected to a IMAP server. Registering nickname via PGP email for Freenode Setting up XChat with SASL for Freenode Registering Public Key with #bitcoin-otc Guide to Bitcoin-OTC irc commands This project is not easy, it will require much collaboration and hard work. 10 BTC bonus for a English translation. |

So, Capitalist A has laid claim to a large amount of land (previously recognized by the state, before the revolution, now there's no state). Individualist B comes along and notices that there's this great land just sitting there not being used for anything. Like prime farmland! Oh, 'cept there is a sign that says all the land belongs to Capitalist A.
Individualist B takes down the sign and gets to work creating "wealth", growing vegetables etc.
If Capitalist A comes along and uses violence to get Individualist B off the land, is that aggressive or defensive?
Aggressive of course, you said that 'Capitalist A comes along' and was not 'making productive use.' Capitalist A had no right to claim 'ownership' over something that is not a product of his time and and effort. |
