The site has slides and transcription too. I'm only 1/4 in, but so far it has been very, very good. If you still have some questions about how Bitcoin works, I highly recommend this video.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

well now that was interesting and yet intense.

sounds like it would be a great idea if it wasn't so resource intensive.  i guess the devs have already decided it's too confusing for the community. 

too bad.  they may be right.

OT sounds to me like a more realistic idea for anonymity.

I think it's a great concept one which I hope to someday see.

However knowing the mindset of our developers, anything that requires inserting itself into the protocol just won't happen for fear of making a mistake.

That's understandable.

I think for now OT's place is being an anonymous and untraceble bitcoin exchanging platform, there will be people who need it, and this can be platform independent.
