Matthew 5:22-24 - From the holy bible
Quote
"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. 23"Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.…


Did I quote the right scripture on this one?

I have been thinking about Bitcoin and talking to my friends about it. One of them has pointed out something that I think might be a giant flaw. If you send money to someone, they don't have to accept it. What if you send some illegal stolen money? Like what if Al Qaelda decided to send you a few bitcents? You could be in jail !

If it is a problem, send the money to the receiver-general or equivalent in your jurisdiction.

As the previous commentors have implied, that would be considered "working as designed."

You can not even reliably return the coins to the apparent "sending" address. You have to ask for a refund address every time.

The Bitcoin design essentially ignores "know your customer" laws. Either those laws will have to be changed, or Bitcoin will be declared illegal. This allows things like Truly Autonomous Software Agents -- simply because they don't have to prove that they are non-terrorist humans in order to participate in the economy.

Receiving funds from terrorists so I can afford guns with which to shoot terrorists? Feature, not bug.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Oh no. There is a major flaw with air travel. Basicially, when you check in your suitcase it goes out of your sight!

Anyone could mess around with it, stuffing it full of drugs, guns, photos of Michael Jackson, and then when you arrive - you could get arrested! No one should catch a flight until this flaw is fixed.

Dude, seriously? Roll Eyes

Like what if Al Qaelda decided to send you a few bitcents? You could be in jail !
If "you" could be in jail, then why couldn't Al Qaeda be in jail for that matter.

Oh, and exactly who is gonna put someone in jail for receiving stolen bitcoins? The Korean goverment has no jurisdiction over me, you know.
