Sorry, Bitcoin is not about the same thing to everyone. For me, Bitcoin is about one thing: providing a monetary system for the Tonal number system. Otherwise, it would be merely an interesting project I have no real concern with. To assume everyone has the same interests is a sure-fire way to prevent widescale adoption. If you want Bitcoin to succeed, don't try to impose a single purpose/"about" on everyone using it (which a "blackout" would do). > Barring Bitcoin-specific legislation, I don't see how any legislation > could be more relevant to Bitcoin and the community around it. Bitcoin is an innovative new currency. How is a bill on internet censorship (which is badly needed, even if not in the form of SOPA/PIPA) directly relevant? I don't think it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
