The site has slides and transcription too. I'm only 1/4 in, but so far it has been very, very good. If you still have some questions about how Bitcoin works, I highly recommend this video.

well now that was interesting and yet intense.

sounds like it would be a great idea if it wasn't so resource intensive.  i guess the devs have already decided it's too confusing for the community. 

too bad.  they may be right.

OT sounds to me like a more realistic idea for anonymity.

I think it's a great concept one which I hope to someday see.

However knowing the mindset of our developers, anything that requires inserting itself into the protocol just won't happen for fear of making a mistake.

That's understandable.

I think for now OT's place is being an anonymous and untraceble bitcoin exchanging platform, there will be people who need it, and this can be platform independent.
