(...)  In the world of Bitcoin yes, we do need to discuss the divergence or lack of between the "use of money" and the "nature of money" because some may think they can interject "moral, legal, regulatory" into the nature of bitcoin algorithmically.[/i]


Spendulus.. I'm curious about your thoughts on the criteria (privacy related) as developed by Kristov Atlas.  He developed them up and sought comment but nobody really gave him any commentary on his rather well detailed privacy ratings criteria for wallets. I would have added something relative to an installation category since I think from a user privacy standpoint, web wallets are dead (everything on that end involves soliciting and luring the user to "join" and then selling the user's information to third parties or handing it off to governments or corporations) and so to be realistic, you have to favor the installation models, the question then becomes what is installed  and the usability or ease of doing so.
