Intellectual property is an artificial barrier created by the government. There is nothing tangible about intellectual property.

IP can be abused in all sorts of ways, but is definitely more than an "artificial barrier" to some.  The original intent of IP is still valid at times.

The original intent of IP is extending power through artificial barriers. Look up crown grants of monopoly privileges.

@pc .. thanks for the explanation ..
Is IP related to the German Urheberrecht?

Author's rights  / copyright is one aspect of IP. Patents are another, as are trademarks.

What if BitShares had an average of 1 second confirmation times?   Is that instant enough ;)

guess we will have to wait at least 2 weeks to know that  :P

It's not about government .. it's about commercial use ..
you can still use IP-restricted software for personal use .. as you can also re-implement every patented piece of software/hardware or algorithm

IP restricts COMMERCIAL use ..
at least that's my understanding of IP .. though I am not a lawyer ..

IP is about applying existing (and widely accepted) rights regarding tangible property to ideas and other forms of intangible "property".

It has nothing to do with "commercial" or not. If something is your property then you have the right to control how and if other people can use it. You can exert this control by granting a license. In some jurisdictions you can also waive your rights by making your property public domain.

It also has nothing to do with "open source" (that's why the FSF doesn't like the term "open source"). Open source means you put the source code in some place where everyone can see it. That doesn't imply that anyone can actually *use* that source code without paying a license fee.

Intellectual property is an artificial barrier created by the government. There is nothing tangible about intellectual property.

Ah yes, that artificial barrier to entry that the government likes to prop up.

5-10 seconds is "instant" and this is what they mean I think, https://wiki.qointum.com/design/dev/#instant-transaction-confirmation

The hands down winner in transactions will be the one who utilizes quantum entanglement computing utilizing nebula energy with galaxy nodes.. :)

I believe CIYAM is working on it.

Hehe.

Thats the next Qora feature. :P
