hi Rob, I'm interested in your anecdote about the fed being interested in alternative currencies? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jaromil <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 6:00 PM Subject: DYNDY on bitcoins To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] dear colleagues, fellow researchers, p2p enthusiasts yesterday I've had a funny experience for the first time seeing the biggest amount of suits ever gathered in the same room :) while accompanying my friend Genjix, a bitcoin developer invited to talk about this digital born monetary system. this is the article that came out of it, trying to shed some light on interesting aspects I've caught so far, feel free to spread around it to anyone interested http://www.dyndy.net/2011/04/bitcoin-presented-to-the-old-world/ the attempt is to round up on some reflections matured around the concept of crypto-currency and might serve as a balanced account on the implications that such a "disruptive technology" has for societies, especially in dense settlements, a theme i'm planning to further develop in future, with your kind support :) bests -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJNnZlYAAoJEAslGzkIl3JRAGAf/R6qw0ivPzPuvsmFEy6yomMi 7+3p5SJ4dLG8mZNdPzFShraLIJZQ8RCKbtybu2REadGtjt2BRIAlYosyVwI0hjBC 9WbC5p3wA+mn3MK4/k/MS+6OrCIo+bQdGFqM4ZQdghZnjqVivAJhmgXoIuTMdUEP /xw3Slzcat20Z2Gc8gJsYXxW2JVUG64Ei4gLW6ETbLgmSVOiobaU6VPjulGu4bfq zYzyISzxkFMVf9qUw8PGZXnigoQljoNqwNGkmS/MsPHcIWK1GPiepLnlhR+XE0S4 TD5O0aHsOvpAtaNz0V3sieY3CAjS59OYHR0DxLK59qLlKNMZ73B741zu6wZCL/Xe OPTVaWfMrxo8GK8WVmXSFMjuwLuDjMXzn8yKMHe3l/XPKs3vP5yRJc0iE7kx57tU 0Q5isDMA5QX9+tmSVAkxj4Ie9/PspBtBVD/tciCngZ1zkJ+lZQFRNDkdnhdUwvIu tCXyT4la01l0+5bMurQTiXFxIwwvsoH/K2hqeYo1cnmZw/ua7eFwvzrNfMN+RBN0 Hh1xEYB2QlVkY9+/FU2QoKpSPZ4RoRnA8r8AyJFDHLBgHGnyA1llVI51DYYj6W3v YtyZXVCFdCkXg7ghFqK0QTta8yVB9tmV59wcrPqJ+d8AtP32eB/tIb9CKkPLlJTL couPqpN3FiygxPtsjjFm2oH4d3xmZn0bwSKfwK6/wRaN4MM4xYkS/Ec9YvEM8E7r tAkkKuhDifrnbtCn47AcEci8oGAPCJca97raueCw1pO0P8tFb93RAL4UsGhNByuD DEAx6Aqycf0KL53bIJ5Fi0tPp97UwnbAY+JgFQCdnTfnMcdLnOEu1HWwPP/Ac32/ +W7gonLlU1G0oAfQb7gDTlYzyT2lKfODO7PY4vehdvt4Uzfi4XASC3dvbJCl27oY S9VMnuzezKHt8jmFwV9DJcOOB26B0wR+Fg793YjyjUzEBHSComeiXDzTgLj6rv4K DMDzFqwaXt9e196mx+R9rDkQA+iXk3BpszpzmKU5pRZcFCG/E53wxuDn38Naw64u tlHEFdgE13zFq7yMbZKrkWbl6QVTkQ5gOBq7013jo5H2KUcAEPF1h3Y9mt52k5WL OVqj50H5Lg/fWQpgcLRLe+1o6ImXrsEBbq3mOZ0V+Pg/Mb8lQLEaWtw7T/BiWIVQ vfpXOmz4sh8G7CuhaRyih7DzD86DiT2HMLrSFgBCji8wHLqypwB79FDbW30lEFrb g4NHd3TTU6mds/nxGnNPMHWci+2iZ7AB3SKNl1v/jqYdlZliZUduyskLmLZiRW8J P8mE/8641Jah0NNdBvaGwgT/AAnhdgTR7c3TS5W0ZqdBnTXUzSh2abkRYML5NBs= =MUu9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
