Says you. I've experienced it, outdoors in close proximity. People's biology are different. Some people are hyper sensitive, others require massive doses to experience a high. This is true of basically all drugs, btw.

It’s not a nitpicking point. Bitcoin doesn’t provide any anonymity at all. It explicitly breaks anonymity and great lengths have to be taken to recover it. Pseudonymity is a fundamentally different property.

Mesopotamian and Egyptian writing goes Back much further than that, and while the alphabet has it’s origin in he Phonician sea peoples, it didn’t become widespread through Europe and Central Asia until the Greek empire a thousand years late

What are you arguing? The fact that someone can’t come along later and relicense the code I wrote is a good thing. Why do you assume I’d be okay with whatever license they want to use in the future?
72.
by kobeya 9y ago
I’m okay with that. I wrote code on my own time. It is my natural product of my own labor. I’m not giving it away.

Pseudoanonymity. There’s an important difference.

Or just never sign a CLA. Can’t relicense my code? That’s a feature, not a bug.

I think you vastly underestimate what intelligence agencies operating outside the bounds of the law are capable of doing.

To be fair, it used to be that they didn't really solve most crimes.

Every. Single. Time. the historical figure is mentioned. Guess what? In a million years people will still remember the Roman Pliny the Elder, but not your favorite beer.

Blind signers. But I do wonder what a bling signer would do... And “an ideal solution”. How long until we have semantic awareness in autocorrect?

by kobeya 9y ago
There are crypto solutions that could make his much more interesting, such as bling signers, identity based encryption, zero knowledge proofs, etc. Most of the downsides could be worked around, if we innovate a teal solution instead of some

Most of the time it does. When it doesn’t you revoke the cert.
