this is exactly why we now need to implement some of things i was talking about in my thread I posted.
We need smaller communities to make the btc exchange less centralized and therefore less susceptible to attack. And also we could really use the option to make bitcoin use it's own mathematically solved btc to usd/GPB/euro/etc rate, as well as the option to DENY access to your addresses from anyone outside the little community you create. So you create a list of addresses that are accepted, and nobody else can send or ask for money from your address, if you so desire. Can still be open to the entire network if you like. And if you want you can even BAN certain addresses. Not a bad idea IMO. It always feels better, the separation of powers, that is.
How do ask for Money from a address?
Seems like I missed an important Feature.
Well if you're asking for money, you better know the guy who you're doing business with. My idea is simply, that we should never trade with anyone who is a really bad dude, even if they don't actually screw you over. We need to care about the economy, and giving people any kind of help is a BAD BAD THING for our economy.
To the other poster. You are not "cut off" from other bitcoiners. You can trade with whoever you want. But just like you don't want some random stranger sleeping on your couch....
you also don't need to have your financial activities mixed with that same stranger. people feel more comfortable around their own families if they are loved by them, so it's natural they'd want to protect their families by disallowing any intrusion of complete strangers who could be psychotic murderers. My idea promotes the creation of mini-economies, in which everyone within their own mini-bitcoin community can set whatever price they want for whatever they wish to attribute it to. This is exactly what satoshi envisioned anyways, we just haven't gotten there yet, at least not on a large scale (yes, large scale... but with small separate economies/coin communities). If the smaller economies can grow (as in individual numbers) then the entire USD/EURO/etc currencies will be greatly affected. You can sell a car for 50 bucks in some community, and then sometime later sell it for 5,000 bucks without screwing over the guy you bough it from (who was within your community) or the alternative economies out there. It's whatever you want as long as it feels right. Things like that happen and they don't necessarily hurt the economy as long as the intent is to not screw over anyone else.
