You must be joking 

Yeah, NIVIDIA's

What you perceive as "the right place" might be perceived differently by other people, so why don't you leave things where they are and save some time for yourself and other?

There are alternatives that are about just as good with games and stuff

Overtax videocards that are fast with the integer ops Bitcoin uses?

this is a forum full of anarchists and hackers; you are moving their posts (infringing on their speech!).  of course they get upset.

the market being boring probably has an effect as well

What if they did somthing that would be more targeted at miners, somthing like adding an extra charge if your electricity bill jumps up and down often (miners starting and stopping their rigs when the difficulty changes)

+1 for mewantsbitcoins if we still had karma, and -1 billion for kiba...

I'm actually getting quite irate about this situation now... I am going to excuse myself from bitcoin.org until tomorrow. 'Night all!

Why don't you simply give it up then?

You have made it quite clear right now that you do not care to keep your position.

1.  BitCoin has nothing to do with a gold standard.  Because there's no gold.  To be more precise, this issue only matters if the entire economy were to become BitCoin, and this isn't going to happen.  BitCoin is a niche--distributed, zero-trust, low-overhead money.  If his argument is true the only consequence is that the whole economy won't become BitCoin because it will be outcompeted in other sectors of money usage:  not that BitCoin will fail.
