The author of the thread registered on the same day he disappeared. Didn't even bother to read his post. It's obvious he was a troll and this thread needs to get deleted.

Nah, haven't you noticed that longstanding member posts with relevant topics last a few pages and they're done. Troll posts go on forever. Thank God for trolls or Bitcoin never would have taken off.

I like results of voting. There is still hope that BTC users really understand what BTC stands for and what it doesnt stand for. Only thing that needs to be done is to learn how to point your miners to another pool  Grin

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.
Disappointing to see that over a quarter of the people in this forum still haven't got a clue about how decentralised currencies are supposed to work.  The two possible correct answers are either 'NO', or simply not bothering to vote for an option at all because stupid poll is stupid.

Go and start your own Tardcoin that isn't fungible if you want to be able to block transactions and balances.  You don't belong here.
It's just over a quarter of People, who look into this thread.
There have been so many threads about blacklisting coins and all the good arguments against it, have also been used many times. So, I think most experienced users are just ignoring such threads.

Yes, fingers crossed you're right on that one.  Perhaps the people who voted in favour of blocking coins, or said they weren't sure haven't been around as long and are still new to the concept of crypto.  Thankfully there's enough old hands around to make sure it never actually happens and terrible ideas like the one in the OP never become a reality.

What if the votes were just "voting spam" of people that just vote random answers on polls on these forums? I have sure seen stranger things

Voting (and laws) are not a necessity when society builds a consensus on those matters. eg. FUCK THE ESTABLISHMENT. Smiley

In order for society to build a consensus wouldn't there need to be some kind of vote?

Nope. Smiley

Truth is a dictatorship. Tongue
That wouldn't really be a consensus, it would be one person forcing others to do as he says

That is to be expected when blind faith and ego are entered into the equation.

i don't agree with blacklisting any addresses, period.

Me either.
It's funny how when Mike Hearn even mentioned "coin taint" these forums went nuts with hateful, crackpot retaliation. Now that the FBI has coins people are screaming for a central authority to block coins.
It's a bad idea and it wont work anyway. Me or someone else will just buy the tainted coins cheap and sell them to you after a bath.

This is the problem with the OP's solution. The coins would be "tainted" and thus have less value then other bitcoin. The purchaser of such bitcoin could simply use a mixer to make it look as if their coins did not come from the FBI. Since most mixers are automated the mixer would have no idea that they have exchanged "tainted" coins for untainted coins until after the fact, they would be holding tainted coins due to no fault of their own

"The FBI is a violent underground organization that stole from an innovative startup." - That is how you say it in bitcointalk-eze. If you translate it to English it reads...
"The FBI busted a drug dealer and took his money."

Pretty much!

That would not exactly be accurate.

The United States (and other countries) have rules and laws that must be followed and enforced.

If a rule and/or law if broken then there must be consequences.

This is similar to how Bitcoin works as if you try to spend an input that does not exist, your TX will not be confirmed, and/or if you try to scam people on the forums others will not wish to do business with you and depending on the severity, other will try to dox you.

Soo.. when they intervene .. its ok. When the people do it.. its disruptive.

I'm sure the Africans who conned, captured and sold their people to the slave traders, thought the same thing when someone with a conscience would have his/her say.

If/when the coins are blocked or taken back, the world WILL stand up and take notice of our small but significant victory.

edit

And as such.. cryptos will skyrocket. Wink

Oh, my.
