Re: [Bitcoin-development] Finite monetary supply for Bitcoin
luke, you might enjoy the book Topos of Music. It's a complete mathematical music theory by a student of Grothendieck. He advanced Euler's theories of harmony based on advanced category theory. I'm sure there are many applications to Bitcoin.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Dedicated server for bitcoin.org, your thoughts?
Interesting. I think the original BitDNS discussion was more interesting that what currently is happening with namecoin, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790.0 Satoshi said there: 1) IP records don't need to be in the chain, just do registrar function not DNS. And CA problem solved, neat. Besides, ICANN is currently selling out the global public namespace - not that anybody really cares about such measly topics as the ownership of global namespaces. And so some guy on the Cayman Islands is now the largest holder of TLD's.

Please cut it out with the snake oil pedaling. This is really over the top. You're invoking the NSA as the threat here? Okay. The NSA can trivially compromise an HTTPS download site: even ignoring the CA insecurity, and government run CAs certificate authorities issue CA certs to random governments and corporations for dataloss prevention purposes. Not to mention unparalleled access to exploits. The downloads are protected by something far stronger than SSL already, which might even have a chance against the NSA. Actual signatures of the downloads with offline keys. I'm all pro-SSL and all that, but you are— piece by piece— really convincing me that it produces an entirely false sense of security which is entirely unjustified. -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Revisiting the BIPS process, a proposal
I believe a better solution would to use a gitlab clone such as gitlab, which sits on top of the git repo, and allows for custom code around the BIP process. Potentially one could even build Bitcoin into such a BIP system. If somebody wants to support a BIP he donates Bitcoins to that proposal. Somebody who actually implements the BIP can receive some percent of the bounty (while some percent goes to the Bitcoin foundation). Via such a platform one could create assurance contracts to kickstart BIP developments or Bitcoin extensions (public infrastructure which is not part of the core, such as opensourced exchanges).
