That having a domain name would help a hypothetical illicit online business?

That Bitcoin being interwoven with said illicit hypothetical online business by virtue of being its DNS provider is a bad thing?

Define an "illict" business.

Look, all I am saying that if somebody is doing something bad, it would better if we know about it, rather than remaining underground.

If he protocol will not get minced by "exceptions"...well all know how well that road turn out.[edit]

Why would the Bitcoin community want to have a distributed DNS system piggybacked on its chain? Yea, you could do that with the old client releases, but the new official client release does not support BitDNS/DomainChain. (I am upgrading, and won't support BitDNS/DomainChain).

Who say that I actually support BitDNS/DomainChain piggyback on the bitcoin chain?

Nanaimogold seem to have gone irrational.

Im aware that saying "its against the protocol" disallows anyone from taking a domain, but that is the point. Why would Bitcoin want to be a part of a DNS system anyway?

That's a rather strange conception. DomainChain/BitDNS are available to anybody who wishes to use it.

1) I understand that taking a domain name doesn't shut down the operation, but having a domain name at least makes it easier for the content to be accessed, and easier for it to be profitable for the wrongdoer, who can change hosts, etc, and just update the IP behind the domain.

It also make them easier to track down. The authorities would ban/censor such site instead of actually solving problems.

http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/53 0.10 BTC

Decided to switch back to bitcoinservice.co.uk because they have preview displayed.

So what I did in this artwork? More shading and more redrawing the lines. It's rather slow work sometime.

Not to mention that a decentralized DNS system, which I am not against, will have a tendency to skew towards the illegal/fringe uses where avoidance of the law is paramount.

With all due respect, taking the site's domain name down won't do anything against criminal activity. It just make it harder to track.

Also, it was human elements that force domain name to be taken off the net.

If you have to say "Sorry, we can't do anything about it. It's against the protocol", than you can't take down the domain name or interfere with its operation.

Blah, those aren't likely to be original. They can go to 4chan and download wallpapers for free.

I believe the problem with the generalized BitX is that the more that one adds to the chain, the higher the payload and overhead.

The solution to this is to use the Bitcoin chain, and use transaction fees to add additional content, the market will decide what is worth including in the chain or not, based solely on the cost/benefit of doing so.


Bigger stuff mean higher priority. Bitcoin users who didn't load the bitcoin chain data with lards are left with lower priority.

Btw what up with the bitcoin logo and its messed up boxes on it. When you scan do you do digital touch ups or not really?

Coloring process = digital touchup then actual coloring.

If you download the latest artwork, you would already know that yes, of course, I do touchup.
4432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitDNS and Generalizing Bitcoin on: December 09, 2010, 12:59:20 AM
Others elsewhere or previously have suggested we build a chain dependent on the bitcoin chain. Some way to hash the data against a block.

That way, miners would still be strengthening the bitcoin network.

Miners are rejecting the [edit]isStandard.

Hmm, I think it might be cost-effective to distribute flyers around college campus and get people to come to a room or some location on campus so that you could fully explain bitcoin and answer questions that they might have.

Shouldn't this be in the bitcoin discussion forum.

+1 I love this idea.  Kickstarter for bitcoin with the possibility of payback.

Bitcoin stock markets and bitcoin corporation that are not officially listed in any government registary. Based entirely on the reputation of the corporation.

Shareholders can be completely anonymous.
4438  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Austrian Economic Study Group on: December 08, 2010, 08:13:16 PM
Huh

A you asking for recommendations on study resources, or something else?

No, it's a study group comprised of bitcoiners.
4439  Economy / Economics / Bitcoin Austrian Economic Study Group on: December 08, 2010, 08:08:28 PM
Hmm...since bitcoin needs economists who can think accurately about problem, how about we set up a study group to motivate each other and learn.
