Might be worth looking into the recent RFC 7258: Pervasive Monitoring Is an Attack for some guidance on how to write such a social contract. Re: Gavin, note the language in the foundation bylaws: Section 2.2 The Corporation shall promote and protect both the decentralized, distributed and private nature of the Bitcoin distributed-digital currency and transaction system as well as individual choice, participation and financial privacy when using such systems. You might want to do a pull-req to add fungibility and rejection of blacklists to that list; note Adam Back's comments on how fungibility and privacy are inherently linked. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1 iQFQBAEBCAA6BQJTek/ZMxxQZXRlciBUb2RkIChsb3cgc2VjdXJpdHkga2V5KSA8 cGV0ZUBwZXRlcnRvZGQub3JnPgAKCRAZnIM7qOfwhYPIB/9/mhDOei8uMGHmzK41 YdL2ezs4LMPLyCRbo9Eu7MDJAMBaMH4VUbomR0tJVPRS191ifa2F/xGYnbDvk/PG rLX86uPPMBxZqnVMgZLeKJkUHm3Zlkm1Ti58bMR8VVQuPazBBpkYtsvk+0+8j9su ke7Xq+OqUGOC03bM4bxtKyBCy1FrCJuFgZEywKhOjr6boANLctDRBZerPqQ4AcjP tHSAAImcesMhjc/N9LJ4MeygszzblYpdsQeiw8jvvyZI7vCSHuKb+hur+kCszYjD ygfY9QmoNye2yc0GLZd+kXSMwY6gLIvaAFhv2ElMTMiJ7btHtJJfyEaA9Ub4zEEY JKeO =DSjZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
