So it seems that if the Devs of bitcoin wanted, they could simply "block" someones coin and send it out on the next bitcoin update....

Thats the most fucking piece of bullshit crap ive ever seen/heard. That kind of makes bitcoin useless and will never gain mainstream acceptance....

We need to take that ability away, to freaking block coins....Take it away now so its impossible to do that kind of crap...Knowing that it's possible is such a dissapointment for bitcoin..

What the hell makes you think BTC is the "the coin of the future" ?

It has already failed with its promises of anonymity and decentralization, so how is a little community intervention goin to hurt ? lol

Damn hippies.

It is not possible. These proposals are just stupid people posting about things they do not know anything about. Do not worry. It is not going to happen and it is not possible. You are the reason I even respond to them, because people like you start to believe their bullshit and get worried.

Yeah dont get upset by that crap. Guy has no idea what he's talking about. He's so deep inside box that he has no idea how "outside" looks like.

I would love to see this :
1.FBI deposits those seized bitcoins lets say to bitstamp
2. bitstamp puts news that it has been hacked
3. only FBI coins are stolen..
4. bitstamp reopens in 1 hour Tongue

5.send those coin to non existant address

hhaha that would be apsolute trolling

Haha, or whoever buys them gets the BTC, but they pay using paypal, and reverse the charge two days later.

Those are both funny ideas but here is what is being proposed:

1. People who want the BTC and want to help take it mainstream send a $200,000 cash deposit to the USMS (http://www.usmarshals.gov)
2. These people who are our people who want to buy and own and promote Bitcoin bid on the 10 lots of 3,000 BTC
3. Some of them win the bidding and send about $1.5 million dollars cash (minus their $200,000 deposit) per 3,000 BTC won in the bidding
4. Once the cash clears the USMS bank account the USMS attempts to send them the 3,000 BTC these people have paid for
5. Due to this proposal they are unable to transfer the BTC to the new owners
6. USMS says "sorry Charlie" we are not responsible for the actions of the Bitcoin network. "Take it up with them"

"The man" ends up with about 15 million dollars cash.

You have just screwed over the large investors who were trying to take Bitcoin mainstream.

I am sick of you drooling idiots that make and support this proposal over and over.

I didn't read the whole thread. I didn't even read the whole starting post.
I just want to Point out, that any Manipulation of BTC is a bad Thing, like I did many times before. Regardless of your "good intentions"

People who agree to this stupid idea, just don't understand Bitcoins

You destroy an essential element of what makes bitcoin bitcoin. Neutrality.

And you blow up the idea of decentralisation with it. There is nothing decentralised about a system where the developers are free to make any change they like and it must be implemented, nor where all miners can simply pick and choose what they want to do. I mean, yes, if these mining pools were ridiculously morally bound they might agree to boycott any txs but you'd never get every single pool on board anyway and eventually one of those will find a block.

Everyone else has already pointed out the flaws.

It's the same as when you set up a violence monopolising morally sanctioned gang who destroy the world and kill millions of people because you want to force other people to pay for schools and roads.

edit: and yes, why would you want to force the FBI to keep the most valuable thing it has? Let it sell one of the world's greatest inventions for worthless shit that it is determined to ruin the value of!

MINERS UNITE! It is finally time to stop violent tax-funded underground organizations like the FBI from exploiting the people who they were once supposed to protect!

1) All-caps and bold text do not make points more valid.

2) "MINERS UNITE" basically translates to "let's centralise Bitcoin". If anything, I would cry out: "Miner's disassociate!".

3) If you want to stop tax-funded underground organisations then stop paying taxes.

4) I'm not even from the US. Why on earth should I support the destruction of Bitcoin because people in a foreign land don't have the balls to stand up for themselves?

Well hello there!

I for one have very little love for a number of the corrupt practices of our (US) government...however the proposal to specifically block only those coin(s) wouldn't bode well for bitcoin's future imho.

Once we start down this path to start excluding the "man" from being able to cash out his coins how could we possibly claim any sort of moral higher ground? Wouldn't this essentially make us no different than they?

Anyhoo, doing this would absolutely tank the price of BTC I suspect. That $10 by the end of the month prediction ole whats-his-name made might just actually come to pass if this action is carried through.

Great idea! I suggest you write to the top 10 pool operators and suggest it to them. I predict the following outcome with each and every pool operator you contact -

You to all people who believe in and support the Bitcoin idea, but specifically to the pool operators: I have a great idea how we, and by we I mean you, can really "stick it to the man"!!! Go buy yourself a shotgun, aim it at your foot and then pull the trigger! Wouldn't that be great? I came up with this idea all on my own! If you do it I believe all the other pool operators and full nodes will join you - I am pretty sure of it.

Pool operators (ever last one of them): What the hell are you talking about? Are you some kind of fucking retarded moron?

Try it. Not one single pool operator is going to do what you suggest - no matter how many times you suggest it and no matter how many stupid threads you start and no matter how many idiotic polls you take, because

1) It will hurt them to blow off their own foot.
2) It will not hurt the man, at all. Not even a tiny little bit.

this idea seems like it would set a dangerous precedent. If people decide to start blocking coins doesn't that defeat the purpose of bitcoin?

Therefore you need to define your purpose of Bitcoin. My purpose is probably not your purpose.

My purpose is a stable currency that retains value that I can access in the future. Your idea would do the opposite. I don't really get into the whole political side of things but wouldn't it be better for everyone if they didn't have any coins?
