Part of this rise is likely due to the proposal of Mike Hearn, a core developer and Bitcoin Foundation officer, to start "redlisting" (marketing-friendly word for blacklisting) wayward Bitcoin addresses.
How someone who has been around the Bitcoin world for so long doesn't understand the importance of the currency's fungibility is beyond me. If you make one person's Bitcoins worth less than another person's Bitcoins, then we all lose.
- primitivesuave 13y agoHearn only proposed there be a discussion on the matter, he definitely didn't seem like he was pushing either way.
- jnbiche 13y agoYes, he proposed the idea for the second time in a year "just for discussion". And the first time he proposed it, he definitely and very explicitly argued in favor of it. If he's more subtle this time, it's because he's learned this is an issue that is deeply important to most long-time Bitcoiners, since it's an assault on one of the most fundamental of Bitcoin's properties.
- olalonde 13y agoWouldn't redlisting be possible with litecoin too?
- jnbiche 13y agoSure, but there are no influential core Litecoin developers repeatedly proposing that they do it to Litecoin.
