Please explain how exactly are you going to protect the network against government threats.
How are you going to prevent the government from physically taking over those "trusted" nodes?
I think the trusted nodes are spread around the world, with backup nodes setup ready to go live when something happens... You can just copy the "trusted" wallet to a new server, install solidcoind, set the config to trusted-node-mode, and the network will continue... So the US-Army has to find the new location and send the special forces there, enough time to setup other servers...
Just one question... Why the US army? I think you should be more afraid of the Greek and Portuguese army.
I don't think ALL of the trusted nodes are located in Greece or Portugal
Wait a moment there... You said the trusted nodes were spread around the world... If the US-army tried to come to my country for one of their special-ops I wouldn't be pleased and I would kick their ass myself.
The US doesn't own the world. Or do they in your own twisted vision of it? Because if the US can invade ANY country, so can Greece or Portugal...
Stop being so US centric, it annoys people, you know?
Psy, I'm fully with you (being a Greek). Now that we're going bankrupt as a country, we will need ANY coin we can get
. And a poor, desperate population is no easy game for any invader. We don't have anything else to lose.
But, BTW, invasions cost money you know... Who will lend us
Maybe we should ask CH
and BTCX and let them compete for the best term loan (SC or BTC respectively).
At least the US can print their own one-ply paper and pay for their wars.
As for the subject of the thread, I would much more prefer that people would be actually reading the code, instead of jumping to conclusions after having read 10 (or even zero) lines. 5 pages of discussion and nobody except makomk discusses the issue at hand.
