Currently Bitcoin is an insane gold-rush bubble that is frivolous and wasteful but it has the potential to balance out into the secure, distributed, democratized digital currency it was designed to be and I think that is something worth spending energy on.
indeed... would it not be worthwhile, do you think, to leverage *this* opportunity... such that the funds were available to *create* an eco-responsible coin that is *properly* libre, properly peer-to-peer distributed, and so on?
look at what i put out only a few weeks ago, we analysed at least two alt-coins that, whilst the people behind it had their hearts in the right places they *still* did not fundamentally get it.
if we don't do this "properly" then those alt-coins will be all that is available... oh and bitcoin. is that something we really really want?
gone midnight here (julie) i'll write a more complete reply tomorrow.
