Yeah. I'm not easily startled, but I consider this the first "real" threat to Bitcoin I know of since I joined this little club.
I'm in a discussion with Mike Hearn right now on the btcfoundation forum. I get the impression he genuinely believes that a) it's a good idea to implement this, and b) won't do much damage to Bitcoin. I disagree with a), and vehemently disagree with b).
Head over there yourself (if you are a member already. otherwise: pay up and join :D). Otherwise, arguments I can bring forward in the thread are very much welcome.

Oh fuck off with this bullshit....this is just more fud.
No one here is going to stand for this bullshit that someone dreamt up about green/black listing coins.
If they try this there will be a hard fork....the dev team will be tossed out on their asses and a new fork will go to the new team and the 99% of people who find the entire idea preposterous.
In the end we will be way better off because the fork that moves to block this will make bitcoin permanently anonymous.
Right now they can already track nearly every coin anyway...I'm sure the NSA has a grasp on pretty much the location every coin in existence just based on people accessing their wallets via their home IP. Duh.
Who is gonna do the hard fork? BF? The same guys who propose this scheme?? No one here is going to stand for this bullshit that someone dreamt up about green/black listing coins.

Honestly, if they could blacklist ('redlist') only coins that came from that cryptolocker virus, I would support it.
On the other hand: Criminals would use them, transact with criminals and make the coins even more tainted with literally no consequence.

I said that this was inevitable, and now it seems there are people with a lot of influence in the Bitcoin community trying to blacklist coins. So much for the brave new world of money.
