No.

What would be the point ?

Four people voted for this proposal?  Fucking morons.

well it is after all just a hypothetical debate. its not like the results would actually do any real world change/prevention. so its not a real world decision people need to make. just a question of opinion, thus some dont see the point in voting
IMO the debate is real. This is something that could actually be done.

It would be very much against the principles behind bitcoin but from a technological standpoint it would be possible

obviously its against the whole ethos of bitcoin, .. but the 'debate' what is it achieving.. has this topic even asked people to flashmob pools to never attempt such a task that would break bitcoin.

has this topic asked for any solutions that lock miners out of tweaking the code, by having more node consensus preventing transactions from being ignored

and your own words "something that could actually be done"... what is this "something" you propose that would be the solution..

all i see is a debate of a few people saying in laymans "lets stick it to the man" and the majority saying "stick one man, ruin it for millions"

Terminated.
OP you're ignorant. If we stop/blacklist these coins, then the whole point of Bitcoin would be invalid wouldn't it?
A bank can blacklist you, and stop your money from moving. Don't you see the similarity here?
If the price has to plunge, let it plunge.

Stop using branwallets
As one of the people who joined the network because of their libertarian values, the auction bothers me because

I'm not sure you understand libertarians.
Or values, or auctions, or Bitcoin.
Or how to use the search button

I think the community should take this as a lesson learned and move on.

Just say NO to black/whitelisting and the like.

The way I see it, even if they cause the price to temporarily go down, it'll rebound if we just follow one of the primary rules of "Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy" and simply Don't Panic. So there's really no use making them unspendable because such a thing can do worse damage than simply allowing the sale to go through.

Never will I support blacklising coins it is a VERY dangerous idea.  Things will go bad if we do, never support black listing.

It is similar to the idea of "if you are doing nothing wrong why do you care if we monitor every single aspect of your life".

now lets say both ghash and eligius both devilishly decided to tweak their code and to look at the mempool of tx's and if there was a TX belonging to a known SR hoard. Ghash and eigius wold delete th TX from their mempool so it wont enter one of their blocks.
No, as you said this would only delay the transaction.

They would rather put a (soft) forking change in their code that considers any transaction or block using SR coins invalid. So if anyone else mines a block with these coins, they just get forked by ghash + eligius again and again until they learn the hard way that they should not include these transactions. This is just a normal 51% attack.

JeromeS you ignorant slut.

This idiotic idea has been proposed in dozens of threads and, no matter how many times it is proposed, it is still one of the worst possible ideas ever proposed.

1) It would not hurt "the man" at all, not even a tiny little bit.
2) It would hurt and rip off all those nice people who buy the coins at the auction because you have made the coins they purchased totally worthless.
3) It would damage the fungibility of Bitcoin making all bitcoins even your own totally worthless, see my signature.

Think before you post.

No, no. And - most importantly:
No.

Stop making stupid threads please.

but the trolls need to make up stupid threads, because they are running out of quality threads to post on to get the 4000 posts a month quota for their footer adverts...

i prefer they waffle and make 20 posts in useless threads, rather then waffle nonsense in quality threads
