for everybody except hardline libertarians the no-chargeback policy is moronic. It's technically doable to enable chargebacks just the political attitude gets in the way.

Dude you're so long here and know so much about bitcoin history that I can't take you seriously when you advocate introducing chargebacks in bitcoin.


Besides, it's not just political.  IMO, it can't be done without a central authority.

Say I sell for fiat and then price spikes.... Well fuck taking a loss, I'm gonna charge that shit back.

Why? Remember third part signed transactions? Remember the uproar?
The question on chargeback is on which authority they can happen, and if the transacting parties agree on an authority beforehand they should be able to have the chargeback option.

Chargebacks?

That just shifts the scam potential from the receiver to the payer, and makes it more confusing potentially increasing the number of scams. Not to mention the fact that its a lot easier for a receiver to be 'trusted' rather than require the trust of every single sender ever.

Unless of course you're in favor of chargebacks verified by a central authority in which case (1) we can already do that its called an escrow and (2) it can't be built into the Bitcoin protocol itself because it would give one particular escrow an unfair advantage over all others.
