The only thing needed is acceptance from the rest of the users in the network.
This is truth. But what about the 99.9999% of humanity that isn't on the network? Bitcoiners are the 0.0001%!  |

And to reject "felons" (under whichever definition), they need to require people to identify themselves. That's already something that I consider that goes against bitcoin principles. I wouldn't expect that of Jon Matonis, for example, who proudly supports financial privacy. And look who's on the board... (PS: I haven't verified yet if they really block anonymous memberships, I'm saying this based on what was said on this topic)
If it's all based on rumors, perhaps we should read about the membership requirement on their page instead. |

Any perceived attempt by people to organize a higher hierarchy in the bitcoin world is seen as threat and "centralization" by bitcoiners even if said schema have no power and doesn't actually centralize anything.

Especially if your enemy can just buy any number of votes (=memberships) he wants.
I suppose microsoft can just buy seats on the linux foundation too.  |

He, and that's precisely a good example of how things may turn out not that good... wikipedia people can get quite censor-prone sometimes. People get in and try to push their agenda. I've seen some biased decisions there, particularly in the Portuguese version of it.
Dude, wikipedia people are not the wikimedia people. I know this because I am a former editor myself. Of course, that doesn't prevent wikipedia from being a great resource to mankind. But wikipedia is not a potential threat to so many people as bitcoin is though (at least I don't think Encyclopedia Britanica and others have the same lobbying power bankers have)
The foundation have no more power other than being a decoy target for governments to target, which is a good thing. |

Getting bitcoin mentioned casually is the best. Breed familiarity, and eventually trust.

Ok. I am officially horrified. The home page is managed by a php file that echo everything. This should just be HTML proper or be done entirely in haml.

The slowness problem is also going to be healed very soon. We have a much faster server which is set up and will hopefully be live shortly. This week, hopefully?
Always underpromise, and over-deliver my friend. |

Also, your code as it exists gets nailed by adblock for Chrome.
Ain't a bug to me. |

I received a folder and the bootstrapped project. I have no access to the server and even no database!
Tomorrow, I'll see the handy work of biomike. I suspected I will be more horrified than happy. PHP have a really bad reputation as a web language and community.

I feel convinced that this was the case. I imagine that fire reminded people of forest fires and destruction, and when someone was found to produce it he was shunned, or even attacked, out of fear from the community. I mean, if we still, to this day, fear new inventions only for their potential for destruction, I'm sure the early humans did too. I don't know where we got it from if not from them.
If he was shunned from his tribe, how will he get a woman? |

The better solution is for Casascius to figure out a solution that doesn't involve trusting him. Or you guys could suggests a solution that Casascius can implement.

do you happen to know what is necessary for a site showing up on the new bidding pages? mine just won't.
btw: tried a couple of other advertising systems, they were no better.
You may not have been approved. PM mc_lovin. In anycase, I am seeing that he's working on improving the site look, but it will be a while until I get handed the source code of the site. Then, I can start making modification to the site in all...sort of ways. |

I think I might made 14 BTC with the site. Nowadays, I make 0.05 bitcent every 5 days like clockwork.

What a lame debate. All we have to do is wait six weeks. If they ship it, apologize. If they don't, you can whine and complain and do whatever you guys do.

There was stuff everywhere about them.
(pictures, videos, blogs)
That would be indeed the world's most elaborate scam. However, we should keep in mind that the CEO of butterfly lab is not anonymous and already been on the feds' radar. So the feds are more likely to chase him like bloodhounds more than they do by chasing international anonymous bitcoin thieves and fraudsters.(which is none at all) |

Meh, I don't think silk road is going to crash us.
