Practical considerations
1. Many of the large holders (1,000,000 & up, I estimate there are 1000 such people) of bitcoins are rather weak organizationally. The classification points to them, that they either need to sell their bitcoins proportionally when the price rises, or start to phase out their work unrelated to Bitcoin and even start employ people related to Bitcoin.
2. The classification opens up better networking possibilities for those, who do not think that the anonymity of some of their Bitcoin requires anonymity of all of their bitcoins (think cash as an example, everybody has a bank account, but may still use cash unanonymously or anonymously). Actually the best way to hide your clandestine bitcoin uses is to have large legit traffic. As a long-time silver dealer I have had many opportunies to use cash illegitemately, because for me it is everyday to have about $10-50k in physical cash (never done that of course). At least this maps the network of rather many public Bitcoin users, so that the unmapped anonymous holders can plan their moves.
3. We need to have uniform communication modes across Bitcoinworld. This has the potential to rather soon establish the Bitcoin User not affected meme to something bold, resembling a diplomatic passport in physical world matters.

3. REACTIVATION OF RPIETILA SUPERNODE
Rpietila supernode may be reactivated as follows: Rpietila summons a general supernode meeting. The invitation must provably be sent to the following people 168 hours prior to the scheduled opening time of the meeting (number of votes in parentheses): Paul (9), Erki (
, Frank (7), Jaakko (7), Iiro (7), Vesa (7), Lauri (6), Mikko (5), Roni (5), Heikki (4), Jochen (3), Taimar (3). After the minimum of 72 hours of uninterrupted deliberation (no other people except rpietila's staff with his permission may enter the area designated as secure), the participants present may vote for the reactivation of the supernode. Rpietila has no vote, but can veto the affirmative decision of the others (and they may set up a supernode themselves). Rpietila may deny partial attendance to the summit, it is all or nothing. The participants receive no compensation whatsoever, except room and board. Minimum 3 people except rpietila must be present to activate the supernode.
If 30 days elapses from the moment that rpietila has last made personal physical contact to minimum 3 of the above people simultaneously, earlier orders are in force. It does not matter what rpietila's condition is, as long as the others may enter and exit at will.

When I went to hibernation, I deactivated my supernode quite totally. Even though I unhibernated my self yesterday, we will need to call a general supernode meeting to officially take back the supernode powers. That will be realistic in the first week of June the earliest. I am not in a hurry myself. The most important reason (for an opening meeting to be so heavy) is:
A: I must be able to summon the participants (if not, there will be no supernode without staff anyway
)B: The participants need to have 72 hours to examine my mental situation (whether I am able to run a supernode or not).
Running a class 10 supernode ("Duke") costs me at least $100-$200k per month. If I reactivate my old businesses but no supernode, my costs will run in about $15-$20k per month. There is also an opportunity for a half/half resolution and activation of a lower class (15 or 20) supernode, and that will be discussed. Problem is that with my current medication I am hardly able to organize anything that would bring in the money, and therefore the hospital staff don't want me to organize things that would increase my cost side. I am on a sick leave until June 30 anyway. Most of the time before that I will spend in the hospital with hopefully my communications intact.
Bitcoin Supernode Alternate Reality Game
Do you want to just update your life? Start to live in the age of great men and great machines, intertwined with the modern communication technology. Then Bitcoin Supernode Game is for you. The more you buy bitcoins, the more important role you will have in the world, as bitcoin relentlessly rises above its true value of around $300k/mBTC and comes back. The Bitcoin Supernode Game eases in the transition - you are already acting as a ruler, so it is possible that you will be promoted even above your actual holdings when everybody sees that Bitcoin is the thing.
I do not currently know how long we need to play. The longer, the more fun. I personally think Bitcoin's rise will happen in violent episodes which see the price going up from (USD/BTC is used for clarity) 0.06 to 0.36 (6x, 10-11/2010), 0.20 to 1.06 (5x, 12/2010-2/2011), 0.67 to 31.99 (46x, 4-6/2011), and 13.5 to 267 (20x, 1-4/2013). It is important to capture these supermoves, and because you don't know when a supermove will commence, you better stay all in all the time. We cannot get from 100 to 300000 in one supermove, that is for sure.
For the game, we need to decide the gamemaster team first. They will have somewhat different role than the players. Is there anyone who wants to join me?
The players will be noblemen in different levels. I cannot write a convincing story even though I have in mind, help me!!

Hi, this thread is dedicated to the second of my great pillars on how to support Bitcoin in 2013 - The Supernode
It is best to think of this as a very real instance of a Alternate Reality Live Action Role Play. Just jump in by buying bitcoins, start to act as if they had tremendous value (which will cause them to have the value) and take your role as a Nobleman or Freeman! The power is there for grabs!
The registration fee is 0.5% of your bitcoins and that already buys you many things. We literally divide the world among us. Be prepared to spend 5% of your bitcoins annually on the game - flight, hotel and restaurant expenses, general living according to your lot, meetups and other marketing. Note: You are also expected to setup bitcoin businesses and you will have the chance to make the money back with interest. If not, at least the 95% are very much more valuable because of the interest you have been keeping up with the Supernode lifestyle.
Jun 13:
Bitcoin Capability Classification (BCC) is a general scale for classifying the capability of people in the Bitcoinworld. The system is logarithmic. It encompasses the previous Supernode classification.
ULTRANODES
00-05 unestablished regal titles (one or more)
06-10 Duke (approx. min. 10,000,000mBTC and behaves like that)
HYPERNODES
11-15 Prince (approx. min. 3,000,000mBTC and behaves like that)
16-20 Marquis (approx. min. 1,000,000mBTC and behaves like that)
SUPERNODES
21-25 Earl (approx. min. 300,000mBTC and behaves like that)
26-30 Viscount (approx. min. 100,000mBTC and behaves like that)
Everything above this will collectively be called "Supernodes". Everything below this will never be called "Supernodes" so make sure to acquire and hold the 100 bitcoins required, if you want to be numbered in the Register of Supernodes!
Now they are so cheap. Bitcoins, I mean.
MININODES
31-35 Baron (approx. min. 30,000mBTC and behaves like that)
36-40 Baronet (approx. min. 10,000mBTC and behaves like that)
41-45 Knight (approx. min. 3,000mBTC and behaves like that)
FREEMEN
46-50 Freeman 1st class (approx. min. 1,000mBTC)
51-55 Freeman 2nd class (approx. min. 300mBTC)
56-60 Freeman 3rd class (approx. min. 100mBTC)
61-65 Freeman 4th class (approx. min. 30mBTC)
66-70 Freeman 5th class (approx. min. 10mBTC
71-75 Freeman 6th class (approx. min. 3mBTC
These guys (above) are about 300 million in number, and hold more bitcoins than an average person in the world. More than 90% of the coins will be held by them, so the inequality of distribution of liquid wealth will stay, should minicoin reach $300 quickly.
76-80 Freeman 7th class (approx. min. 1mBTC
81-85 Freeman 8th class (approx. min. 0.3BTC
86-90 Freeman 9th class (approx. min. 0.1BTC
91-95 Freeman 10th class (less than 0.1mBTC but can take care of himself)
THE DESTITUTE
96-100 The Destitute
People who are destitute cannot take care of themselves, for which reason the other must take care of them. It depends on the climate, political system (e.g. minimum wage), relative living standard and acceptable living standard for a destitute, how many there are. It can be up to 20% but can be as few as 2% of the population, how many are destitute. Currently even "the destitute" in Finland can typically buy several hundreds or thousands mBTC with different kinds of social aid. After a few months they are very well off. But we will have another group of destitutes soon when the Government money runs out.

My previous developments on the matter:
Quote
Apr 22:
First Class Bitcoin Supernode
- Sovereign ability to run, manage and develop the Bitcoin network in absence of any other entities.
- 24/7 monitoring, technical, and trading ability, connections with most relevant Bitcoin power centers, accounts in all relevant exchanges
- Global operation, capacity to set up activities in most jurisdictions with minimum lead times, access to all specialists (bankers, lawyers, tech) globally
- Able to generate its own funding indefinitely regardless of bitcoin exchange value, or backed by an entity wealthy enough to support the operations indefinitely in absence of cash flow from operations
- Minimum full-time staff in command&control structure: 5-10
Second Class Bitcoin Supernode
- Able to run, although probably not effectively develop, the Bitcoin network in absence of other entities. The end user of Bitcoin will notice if the service level falls to the second class. This will lead to delays and blackouts of important services.
- Real-time alerts in place to activate the relevant parts of the organization if something worth their effort happens in Bitcoinworld. Position management in multiple trading platforms, good connections to several other supernodes.
- Can project force to other jurisdictions, albeit with considerable effort and lead time
- Can function independently of external funding as long as Bitcoin's price does not totally collapse, (or has enough external funding to not care)
- Minimum number of dedicated permanent staff: 2-3
Third Class Bitcoin Supernode
- May or may not run a Bitcoin node, cannot likely summon the resources to fix the protocol if need be, may be entirely non-tech
- Actively follows what happens in Bitcoinworld. Reasonably well connected to at least some other supernodes.
- Mainly a local operation.
- Owns enough bitcoins, income-generating bitcoin or other businesses, or other assets, to continue operations at the desired level infinitely (note - the marginal cost of operation on this level is essentially zero)
- Minimum number of people: 1 part-time
- In order to be classified as a supernode, there either needs to be a good number of bitcoins in possession, mining capacity, bitcoin tradership, dealership or other business or publishing organisation.
Capability of a Supernode
The capability of a Bitcoin supernode can be expressed in a pseudologarithmic scale from 0.0 to 5.0., where
- 1.0 is an essentially perfect small operation
- 3.0 is the threshold of being classified as a supernode
- 5.0 is an interested newbie smart enough to understand the basics.
I have been trying to explain the transition of Bitcoin from the alpha/beta stage to the mainstream. I developed the supernode framework to give the reader some understanding of the magnitude of the change that we are undergoing. As I see it, any of the public power centers of Bitcoinworld, do not currently even qualify to the first class. This can be readily observed by the number of scams and hacks, and inadequate organizational and financial resources of most of the actors.
There are currently hundreds of organizations in the world, capable of developing a 1.0 supernode in 3-6 months, if they decide to enter in. None of the current (public) players possesses such an ability now, and even though many may be interested, their rate of capability increase (the time in days, to move one decimal in the supernode capability scale) is behind that of the potential new entrants.
2013 will be an interesting year, for the mainstream adoption and price appreciation of course, but also for some serious behind-the-scenes action. I realize that most people have a difficulty of understanding that bitcoin's price does not have a stable value between $0 and $300k (in fact I only myself realized it a week ago!), and because of this new understanding how the bitcoin power network functions, the probability of it going to zero is rather slim indeed.
