The only reason anybody would install one is if it was desirable to have one, and it's definitely true you can't save people from themselves. With political authority as it stands though, you jump right to the absolute worst case

Your ignorance doesn't make me a troll, and your citations for "working very well" are laughable. Check my comment history, I've been here almost four times longer than you, with over ten times more karma than you, and h

Not "get them installed". And if the above remains true that's a button they're not going to press, period.

That's fine with me as long as it maintains the purpose of the original; to disintermediate the state and political authority from money, and to create a ledger which they cannot tamper with, confiscate, or spy on.
