You're right, of course. Governments will continue to behave as if they own us, money or not. But you missed my point. I want no government at all. Anywhere. I'm not proposing a system to replace the current one, because I don't want it to be replaced. With what do you replace cancer, except good health because the cancer is gone? Yes, there will still be disagreements, and we'll invent ways to deal with them, thousands of different ways, without giving anybody monopoly power over anything. But… way off topic. One day I'll learn the crypto details of Bitcoin, if only to integrate it with Truledger. -Bill _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
