A discussion over such a system would be on-topic. Indeed I have made my own proposals for systems with that capability in the past: http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/31322676/ There's no reason to invoke alts however. There are ways where this can be done within the bitcoin ecosystem, using bitcoins: http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/32108143/ > I think that's fair, so long as we limit bitcoin-development discussion to > issues that are relevant to the owners of the hashrate and companies that > pay developer salaries. > > What I'm asking for is some honesty that Bitcoin is a centralized system > and to stop arguing technical points on the altar of distributed/decentralized > whatever.

Bringing up altchains is a total red herring. This is *bitcoin*-development.
