Isn't the solution simple: one chain which allows anonymous tx and one which doesn't. Both chains will have different use cases / users... If they try to shut down the anonymous one it will be a test for the global resilience of DPOS.

Do you see that tiny stream of water down there?  That's us.

Do you think you can stop the US government?  No.

Not me in particular .. but the people over in the US can do so! It's still (at least on paper) a democracy!

Its actually a republic.

Meanwhile, I am statistically far more likely to be harmed by someone presuming to "protect" me.

... well played

Here is the test.  Does the government let you have swiss (Switzerland) coded bank accounts which are 100% anonymous.  NO

Will they let us have anonymous accounts?  NO


Do you think you can stop the US government?  No.

This is probably why we will not be able to have anonymous accounts in the future.  One word comes to mind....terrorism.  We must stop its action at all costs.

All costs?

That would include whatever freedom you have left.

 

That will not be giving up much...

ISIS is everywhere.  You may change your tune when shit hits the fan.  Will this happen I dont think so but if 100 coordinated terrorist attacks occur. 

We wont be getting anonymous accounts.  Bytemaster is not the government, he may be a true innovator but he does not have the money to dictate federal policy yet.  Think about each anonymous account like the swiss banking laws of the past.  You really think they (the government) is going to let us keep anonymous transactions.  Like seriously.

Seriously, dude, I think that you have somehow stumbled upon the wrong community.  It would be much happier for you (and us) if you searched out like minded personages with whom to share your expertise.

I don't expect anyone to "let" us do anything.

Such a spectacular attack would have two consequences:

1.  Strengthening the resolve of those who have gone soft from too much safety.
2.  Weakening the resolve of those who would exchange true freedom for false safety.

I am hoping that the first will offset the second, but that is merely a hope.

Meanwhile, I am statistically far more likely to be harmed by someone presuming to "protect" me.

Our ancestors fought for freedom.

aehm?

sorry but I don't fall for the "terrorism" shit .. you know that more people die due to cancer OR car accidents OR weapons fired at family mates in the US than by terrorism?!?
Get the numbers straight an we can talk! anonymous transactions ARE an important feature .. and the blockchain enables them no matter what the front end allows the end users ..

However, BM wants to add the ability to ALSO have verified names and public transactions .. and THAT is a killer feature

I dont believe the "terrorism" shit for one second.  But its what controls the government.

Eagleeye I know this is what mainstream media tells us, but what is your opinion on it? Are you in agreement with mainstream media? Have you ever tried to read zerohedge, if not you should check it out.

I have been reading zerohedge for years.  The mainstream controls us.

+100% (don't get me started...)

The real terrorism is the centralized mainstream media pumping the fear...
