the reason i am starting this thread is because i believe in this. truly.i am putting my full and complete information out there in order that others may see my point of view.
My android app is live on Google Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benipal.road

I wrote a vision statement on the play store description that talks more about how i view this. My only issue is that moving forward bitcoin might not be the currency i end up using, because of the low transaction volume allowed by design. Perhaps something tracking the main index.

Would you add your physical location to your payment address? What if that helps make bitcoin more legal and gain mass acceptance?

There may be a use case for what you're talking about, but I don't see it useful to be added to the protocol, maybe in a third party service, like Coinbase.

yea. but the fact that you can have multiple addresses. so you would use one just for your day to day sales and purchases.

No freaking way. Doing this would be putting a giant target on your back. You received 5 bitcoins? Let me check your physical address real quick so I could mug you. Yeah, no. Never going to happen.

I guess i would add my location if i had nothing to hide.
As an example, if i was a store or a local business, that would just be added publicity for free. right.
Same for a user buying coffee or a sandwich. If i am already sharing my location on instagram, snapchat, why do i care that someone saw me pay for my sandwich with bitcoin.

Are you stupid?

no. if you want some form of legal adoption, you would need to make sure that majority usage is legal. right.

Why would BTC usage be illegal without your street address/other personal info being tacked on?

as of now it's sort of in a grey zone the world over. neither legal, nor having been declared explicitly illegal / banned. At your own Risk kinda thing.
I mean, if you went to the cops and told them someone robbed you of your BTC, they would just look you up and down.

yea, i know. just sayin' to get the conversation started. That's why i mentioned the "whole idea of"

Well, it defeats the purpose, I wouldn't do it, we already live in a surveillance state, a worldwide one.

but wouldn't the fact that you could use bitcoin or whatever at your local stores and shops just like regular currency be a pretty good argument otherwise?

An good argument for what? im not tagging my bitcoin wallet addresses with my physical address, wtf

i would. maybe i'm just looking at this whole situation differently.
