BitCoin COP - We need them [NSFW]

[BitCoinDream]

With so many Bitcoin stealing complaints around, I think, we need a BitCoin COP. Just like when someone steals our money, we can complain the Govt paid cop. Our very own Bitcoin Foundation will pay this cop. Then I wont have to write against every stealing case "Your Bitcoins are gone. Please play safe next time." Below is the kind of COP I am looking for.



The proposal stand invalid if Bitcoin core developer group disagree with this kinda COP !!!

Update: We have got our COP...

What would be the exact functions of BTC cops and how would they be able to find stolen BTC? I think it would be god to have some regulatory body over shady and dodgy BTC deals and scammers also maybe a blacklist shame and name site so everyone can visit so they can be aware of dodgy peeps trying to scam them. Could be in idea I guess as scammers are prowling now using BTC as their new peddling machine. We had revshares, hyips posing as forex companies and cyclers and now sites are cropping up pretending to be cloud mining companies then bang they gone with our dough..

I am deadly against blacklisting any coin, because that goes Satoshi's basic fungibility concept. But we can consider blacklisting addresses, just like we blacklist IP addresses for their notorious character. It does not mean those IP addresses are outside internet, similarly those Bitcoin addresses wont be outside the Bitcoin protocol. Only people will know that they are scammer/thief and deal with their own risk.

Then you are against fungibility.  Anything that taints any coin makes people value it differently, which means the fungibility is screwed.  The response to hacking is better proactive security and good old detective work; it is NOT post-hoc blacklisting of ANY sort.

The blockchain is all the Bitcoin cop we need. It's about time that people start to take responsibility for doing due diligence in their transactions, rather than relying on someone else to do it for them. Transact in small amounts or use escrow.

When u xpect something to be used by non-tech people, u cant xpect they'll do detective work before using it. To reach people en masse u must have features with which they can easily get a signal of alert against any impending danger and that needs to be embedded in the design. Else, they wont lose much, we the bitcoiners will. Because, after 2/3 frauds they'll stamp Bitcoin as scammer's money, where we'll keep whining at its irreversible nature by the Grand design.

I see the people who are actually discussing this, have completely missed the point of the thread.

Therefore, I declare them as being off-topic, and should be banned.

I think we need a decentralized, opt-in system of transaction reversibility but that's just me.
