You don't.
You also don't have to deal with complete strangers. I don't know if anyone has set this up yet or not, But we should have a database of payment addresses associated with merchants. Since the address is unique, anyone who wants to build up positive rep just keeps using the same acceptor address, anyone with 0 rep is a possible scam artist who just switched addresses.

You misunderstand my meaning, of course you are free to apply market pressures by spending or not spending with various merchants. The thread proposed a system of laws and arbitration. That goes far beyond market pressures, and people who are identifiable in real life will not be able to follow community laws before following local laws that are enforced with physical force. If allegiance to a parallel court system is the price for using bitcoin, it will always remain a rand minority that uses it. If that's what some people want fine, it's not what I want for the future of bitcoin.

I should add that if you simply mean to set up some sort of community standards system in which reputation counts and violation of the "laws" cause a lowering of "credit rating" that's fine... that's totally doable, and in fact is already being done at bitcoin-otc.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. I just want to try to find a way to protect people from false accusations to some extent. Clear contracts would help with that. Arbitration might be useful too. I grow tired of reiterating this in so many ways. Here's a test, let's see who fails English comprehension: I'm talking about trying to improve the trust model we now use. I'm thinking of doing it in three parts: 1: simple contract base people can use if they feel like it, or modify at will. This is just convenience mostly, generally just a simple "I promise not to steal your shit" would suffice. 2. Ways to actually prove whether either party has fulfilled their word or not. This is the biggest one, as if you can prove foul play, you can point to the proof and be justified in denouncing a person publicly. 3. For gray areas, arbitration. Both parties need to agree to it of course. Probably this would not be used very often, but some kind of basic procedure might be nice to have for reference at least. My motivation here is that reputation is so important in anonymous trading, it feels very risky to have no real protection against simple character assassination. I'd feel better if I could take any serious disputes to a trusted third party and provide them with whatever proof I have that I have, indeed done what I said I would. If my hypothetical accuser refused to do this, it would be telling of their claims. |

I suggested a pretty good way to do this over on this thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3920.0I'll tl;dr it here, for those of you who'd rather not go to the other thread: Paypal buyer/seller ratings linked to payment addresses, and rated by escrow service. You are welcome to change payment addresses, but you'll lose all your rep. Arbitration would be the best way to settle disputes. |

OK, criticism withdrawn, I'll wait and see how it turns out and then decide whether to participate.

We have to abide to our respective national laws. Believing that we can make a Bitcoin law and somehow enforce it is nonsense. I.e. an exchange operated in one country would have to follow different laws and regulations than an exchange operated in another country.
Why should bitcoiners care about if you follow national laws or not? Will you provide the goods and services, or will you not? Because if I am e.g. an exchange, and I don't follow my national law, YOU risk loosing everything you've trusted me with if I get caught. I may have the best intentions, but it doesn't help at all if what I do is illegal in my jurisdiction. "Bitcoin common law" isn't worth anything when real life police knocks on the door. |
Sjå https://bitmynt.no for veksling av bitcoin mot norske kroner. Trygt, billig, raskt og enkelt sidan 2010. I buy with EUR and other currencies at a fair market price when you want to sell. See http://bitmynt.no/eurprice.plWarning: "Bitcoin" XT, Classic, Unlimited and the likes are scams. Don't use them, and don't listen to their shills. |

How are we suppose to settle disputes when you're in one country and I am in another? You want me to use the court to sue your ass out of existence? What if some other guy can do but you can't without getting caught? |

One can follow local laws and still settle disputes by Arbitration. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Not to harp on The Icelandic Commonwealth, but they frequently used all available means to come to settlements, legal and extralegal. |

Man anarchy at work so beautiful to watch. This thread is a prime example of individuals throwing out ideas how to do commerce between one another and none of them having the ability to force their idea upon the rest instead it's all on a voluntary bases and people vote for ideas they like with their BitCoins.
I love it.

Is quite unfortunate that we do not have laws or regulations governing bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole as far as investment and transactions are concern. But the suggested laws will not help at all. We need to reflect and come out with a more refined one.

Like seriously. I think we must think outside the box and bring something meaningful that will secure crypto investors and lovers and also catapult bitcoin to a next level. We really need laws governing bitcoin to prevent its abuse.

Anyone who wants to build an active rep will only continue to use the same accepted address. You misunderstand my meaning, of course you are free to apply market pressure by spending or not spending with different merchants. That goes beyond the pressure of the market, and those who can identify in real life will not be able to follow community law before complying with local law enforced with physical force. If that's what some people want, that's not what I want for the future of bitcoin.

To enforce any action against a fraudulent act (scamming etc) you would need to establish the real identity of the scammer and the jurisdiction in which they live-both of which will be incredibly difficult with Bitcoin or any crypto as they are intended to be anonymous. As for bankruptcy people go bankrupt for many reasons, not all of which are down to fraud.
Unless we accept regulation and a central controlling body for Bitcoin etc then there is no realistic chance of redress or retribution.
We all need to be extremely vigilant in our dealings.
