Most religions believes that it is the one true faith, that is the way it is.   I believe mine is, and no, I will not tell you what it is.  I do not believe in pushing my religious views on others, religion is a private thing and in my opinion is that it should remain as such.

Does it really matter if he or anyone else inserts something in his headers?  Only if he is inserting illegal content, which I would have a legal obligation* to report, otherwise it does not affect me.  It is as if I am told that someone is sprinkling magic pixie dust on his servers to make them have good luck, it affects me in no way, but if it makes him feel better, more power to him.


These are all my opinions, and opinions are like assholes every has got one.


*I term illegal content as either Child Porn or plans to harm others.

Well, I've been mining on Eligius for the best PPS price around and never bothered about the founder's religious beliefs.

What Luke-Jr or anybody believes about other religions does not change my religious views, or others' for that sake. I'm free to think as I wish, he's free too. Anybody claiming that I am a heretic because I don't believe in [fill in your God's version] does not make me one.

<joking>

BTW, now I realize why I have a higher number of stales on Eligius with my Christian Orthodox GPU's. It's the "Filioque" addition to the Creed  that's making me waste a few more KH/s instead of calculating solutions. Maybe mining software developers should take this into account.

</joking>

<not joking>

WHOAAAH, my miners were just disconnected from Eligius as I was writing this !!!! Holy shit, this thing is giving me the creeps !!!

Connected again after 1 min.

</not joking>

Fiat no more.

Let religious types worry about religious content, legal types worry about illegal content, and copyright types worry about infringing content.  It is possible but you would be doing well indeed to construct a sequence of 0's and 1's that would phase me.

Although I would personally make a special effort to avoid people like luke-jr, there are far worse people in the world.

luke-jr   :   (23:59)       MSSmallBiz: heretics


I personally do believe in the freedom of religion but this is kind of over the limit. Like where religious fanatics start to bomb/harm people when they do not share the same faith.

edit: IMO this would start to be a header war if bitcoin gets bigger

Say you have a hindu and a muslim in the same restaurant.
The hindu is eating roast bacon and the muslim is eating a beef steak.

Who is the most enraged one? Who wins in a fight?

Also, say you have two kids in the same kindergarden.
In comes Michael Jackson and and a catholic priest.

Who gets to decide.. Ok let's stop here

No dude, this thread isn't retarded at all.

Some time ago, someone started a thread asking why weren't we allowed to include messages in transactions sent to bitcoin addresses(you can when you send to the IP) and everyone started saying it was a waste of resources, because the blockchain would get bigger and bigger because of said messages.

Now comes a religious fanatic moron and starts including prayers in the blockchain. What a waste of resources is that?

I could care less for his beliefs, but c'mmon... If he can clutter the blockchain with his crappy prayers I want to be able to message people to which i send payments to and be able to receive messages from people who send me payments.

Putting aside the content discussion, I propose that all messages in the block chain are graffiti and we should (as a community)  work to clean it up. If someone were to embed child pornography in the block chain, and a week later publish instructions on how to access it we would ALL be guilty of possession.

<luke-jr> Graet: Catholics do not believe in freedom of religion.

wow

Every religion demands absolute belief that their dogma is the correct one, and punishes doubt. Allowing doubt opens the gateway to thoughtful analysis and logic. Analysis such as "if I was born in a different country with different parents and a different color skin, would I believe just as deeply in the religion I was taught there since my birth?"

Back to the more real issue:
Can we have links to a few blocks of Eligius to see this ourselves?
Also: Could this impact security of the blockchain somehow? If it is supposed to be random data there (whereever these prayers are) but this data isn't as random as it could be, this might not be "a good thing (TM)".

I don't care for the personal beliefs of someone else whom I never even met. He might also just be trolling all of you (there is for example a whole german forum + dozens (!) of websites set up specifically just to make fun of religious "hardliners") and even if he isn't - just embed some lines of the Koran or whatever... there are worse options for stuff that could be embedded in the block chain, and it wouldn't even be that hard to do anonymously!

I don't like generalisations in general (Wink) but some posts here are really nothing better than some (out of context) statements of Luke-Jr. Maybe take this into consideration: http://www.notquitewrong.com/rosscottinc/2011/08/03/so-youre-mad-about-something-on-the-internet/

I don't like generalisations in general (Wink) but some posts here are really nothing better than some (out of context) statements of Luke-Jr.

I provided context for what I quoted.  What's being attributed to Luke here isn't anything that he would disagree with.  Go ahead and talk to him on IRC, you'll find out soon enough.

I find it a bit laughable to embed prayers in english, but well... thanks for the strings anyways and the advice how to get them.

Still it's of interest to me if this can impact security in any way. Otherwise it would just make the block chain a bit more compressible, no matter what is actually written in these strings.
Why are there still no ASCII penises in the block chain?!
