Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

People have hedged with Bitcoin Savings and Trust securities along with Matthew's bet.
So being stupid twice calls for being stupid a third time by calling in the State to protect people from themselves?
I prefer lynch mobs and private justice, but if you don't have any effective means of retribution BTC is not going to fly and will remain an insane asylum of jokes, scammers and trolls. We need this yesterday. |

You are doing it wrong. By the terms of the bet, he should be reported to the Bitcoin Police!  Ok, I'll remember: never fuck with the Bitcoin community offering an obviously absurd gamble that might lead someone to make bad decisions on an already losing game, just fuck with it offering an obviously absurd saving program to which everyone will lose big money (even the ones that tried hard not to be involved). Since I do not see a tenth of this rage against Pirate. |

We need this yesterday. A system of retribution is pointless if people refuse to learn basic economics. In essence we would need a system of schools to educate people on correct behaviour, coupled with institutions to enforce said behaviour and a system to dole out reglemented punishment in case of failure to adhere to said behaviour. Also an institution to administrate all that. We could finance it by taking a percentage out of every transaction.  |

Yeah! And then we could elect people to be in charge of doling out said retribution and pay them from the transactions. We can trust them, right? We elected them, after all. What could go wrong? Until people learn to restrain their own greed for three seconds and be able to spot an obvious scammer from the get-go, we'll see another replay of this tragicomedy very soon. |

Otherwise it ends up at gangland warfare. |
