So how hard is it to verify the transactions from your wallet against the block chain?
Or not notice that you have lot less balance than you should have?

He asked *why*.
Rephrasing: Why do you think slavery is good for you?
Provide some good reasons to be a slave to your master.
Because he is better than some asshole I would have without him... I have no desire to go back to serfdom... |

Suddenly I got huge urge to slap around these people... Or maybe this is satire... I kinda like this as the best cop out...  |

Social liberal...
I'm rather liberal, everything goes in reason and reasonable framework...
On other hand I believe state should provide basic needs of citizens...

as the title suggests.. they seem made for each other...
so why don't we see much news about the two getting together?
Doesn't occupy want more control of financial institutions and not less? They aren't really mainly libertarian group from what I have heard... |

I consider stealing to be wrong, as a matter of principle, regardless of one's geographic location. I wouldn't mind seeing income taxes done away with everywhere, not just the USA. I'd agree. Income tax is not much different from a high-tech bank robbery. People should earn their livelihood. Out tax money is not meant to feed the losers. And I with many others believe that it's impossible for everyone to earn their livelihood. That is with current level of population with current level of technology... |

Have all the conservatives moved to libertarianism or do they just not like bitcoin that much?
I'd argue that "hardcore" conservatives just tend to refuse to explore anything until it's already become mainstream. No currency can't be better than good old hard dollar bills! |

I guess we need to keep our offline computers enclosed within a copper wire mesh.
Make sure the whole room is a Faraday cage. I think sound proofing and no windows(physical ones that is) is also in order... |

So sticking radio transmiter in computers allows you to communicate with it... So anything new?

Dotcom is very great man  Or atleast big... There is interesting sides of him... Not all of it is positive what I have heard... |

Hahahahha.
I'd really love it if some of these anti-government people could offer a working solution. I'd love to try it. I don't think they think things though half of the time.
I wouldn't. Taxes are needed because we live in partly capitalist society. It's not all bad, but it's not all good either. I know that it's very likely that I won't be at the top. So I don't want to end up like those outsourced workers... Many forms of taxation are needed to provide the services. So, I'm selfish and believe income tax is better for me and majority than no tax... Because, it's clear what real options of people has historically been. |

And if you are willing to pay for these services then you just essentially want to call taxes by something else or the government by something else. And what do you suggest as an alternative plan? Tell me how you would make this work? Why do people assume that just passing on the responsibility to someone else will solve all the problems as long as these people do not call themselves politicians or the government?
The plan is to pass the responsibility onto me. And you. Everyone. First we get a money system that doesn't rip us off all day until we die (bitcoin, CHECK) Then we've got more time on our hands to organise locally. We take a stake in our communities by making the decisions ourselves, not voting for someone who does that for us. We organise all the local services we need ourselves. Contract a company to collect waste (like your local government do now). Contract a company to maintain the local roads. Contract a company to look after water and sewage. Get all people in the area to pay into a fund to get it done (easier when the value of money is no longer evaporating into bankers pockets on a daily basis). Use a bitcoin wallet with multi-signature, where it only gets spent when a minimum number of people will sign it off. Choose staff for the local schools, police and hospitals yourself. Even if you're only choosing the managerial staff, at least then you've got more oversight and more input than you do now. And all the people that are doing all this organising will get to know each other. They'll get to know strengths and weaknesses, biases and  . Then you'll know what's going on in your community, and where all the money went. You have no hope of anything like that from your local government now. And even the local government people get paid a tidy salary, this is such a waste when the only reason to have them there is that the sconomic system is tilted to keep everyone else too busy with their own day job. And think about that, these people are professionals, literally dedicated to looking after running local amenities, and this is the best they can do? On their more than decent salaries? Come on. I think we (literally, WE) can do better. Wouldn't that be just another form of government with direct democracy? And would everyone really have the time to go in-depth to all forms of services they need? And isn't getting people to pay in fund still taxation? |

Income tax should go as the government doesn't need to know how much you're making, but I understand property tax to maintain roads and organize basic emergency services. If income tax pays for schools, that's another reason for it to go. Public schools have failed everywhere.
Public schools have failed everywhere? Really... |

Because if you support the threat of violence against other human beings then that just makes you an asshole.
Now if people just were ethical... |

Social liberal is probably closest in traditional terminology.
