Bitcoin is a distributed digital cash system. I will blog about this shortl= y, it's a fascinating system which has a number of issues.=20 One interesting property is that bitcoin is transparent: You can see what c= omes in to it: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1966U1pjj15tLxPXZ19U48c99EJDkdXeqb Obviously this is anti-anonymity! Bitcoin is not anonymous as-is but can be= used in ways that are somewhat anonymous and it is likely that systems wil= l be built on top of it that have strong anonymity. It can be accessed thro= ugh Tor and there are people working on a Freenet transport. It's not an especially efficient way to give us money at the moment however= =2E If you have a large or regular donation we can arrange a bank wire. Pay= pal and google aren't especially efficient but are more so than bitcoin, at= least in small quantity. Also it is deflationary. I expect eventually there will declines, so we exp= ect to avoid holding onto BTC long-term, although there is an argument to h= old on until we have a moderate amount because withdrawing funds is signifi= cantly more efficient and safer in largish quantities (e.g. >$800). --nextPart2406713.USRk23fCdH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABEIAAYFAk1kbhcACgkQYUNbc3WUHYhdSgCfad/+Xx+0J65lKy/fsYElseAP NOsAoJVujNlEWm1rCMrshPMfwAfVDx2o =xbO7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2406713.USRk23fCdH-- --===============1380606461== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] http://freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl --===============1380606461==--
