FYI, bitcoinsharp hasn’t seen any commits since fall 2011, so it’s pretty much useless.

I’m glad to see I already do this. Writing a PhoneGap app for the disaster that is the Android 2.x JavaScript parser forces one to learn these little tricks.

This is really sweet. I’m going to take a look at the spec tonight after work.

FYI, the same image shouldn’t cost any more bandwidth if you have a decent browser. It’ll just reuse the downloaded/cached data.

I believe fairness and freedom tend to be mutually exclusive; if not always, they trend that way.

You’re confusing equality with fairness. Fairness means risk gets reward. Equality means equal work gets equal pay. Truth is most people wouldn’t be motivated at all if they had to think about every little detail. Too much to think about and keep track of. One advantage of freedom is you don’t have to wait for the perfect scenario. You take a chance.[/quote]

Not at all. Just playing to the many definitions. I think you missed the next couple sentences in that paragraph. ;)

Freedom does not support fairness through any means, if you think that fairness means that all things are equal for everyone. However, if you believe that fairness means that people have the rights and freedoms to make their own way and succeed, then freedom means the ultimate fair playing field. There are no restrictions, no governments stepping in the way of profitable businesses which provide valuable services; there is only the freedom to forge one’s own path and make greatnessâ€"or to fail spectacularly, but that’s the beauty of it all.[/quote]

I don’t think yet another hard fork is going to help FTC gain peoples’ trust. Let’s focus on actual features rather than just trimming around the edges.

You said you would be forced, but, in reality, there is no force involved. That’s the beauty of the market. You’re free to follow the trends of the market or to abandon them, to your own success or detriment. The cream rises to the top.

Cryptocurrency helps with this because it removes the shackles of the State, something which cannot exist if one desires a free market or freedom in totality. Yes, minarchism and free market ideals are mutually exclusive. One must reject the State in order to achieve a pure free market. (Joke of the day: What’s the difference between a minarchist and anarchist? About six months.)

If we truly desire to move society forward, we must get away from these anachronistic ideals of fairness and equality. Things will never be entirely fair or equal, but freedom must be available for all in equal measures. I believe that is the ultimate test of fairness.

Why does it need to be fair?

His bad attitude notwithstanding, Warren makes several good points that many here have made as well: ACP is absolutely centralization; FTC has had significant struggles because of Bushstar’s lack of development experience and the somewhat closed development process; and there is really nothing that functionally separates FTC from Litecoin at this point in time.

These are challenges we currently face and need to overcome. Ridiculing Litecoin developers is not going to help us do that.
