there you go again with the socialist attitude. "just make it so" says you. care to tell me how all gvts worldwide will coordinate this simple action? and tell us how you would tell "who is responsibel for them"? wake me up when they do and maybe i'll pay attention to your FUD. and even if they do, i see no discussion from you as to how to practically implement your pronouncements.

Dude, I've had at least a foot in the Socialist bathtub all my life. Now more like part of a toe, but I understand it fairly well. Why would you think that that makes my insights into how this group thinks invalid? Wouldn't it be just the opposite?

this is just you being a pessimist again. you really do think the gvt is all powerful, don't you?

Just generally it's better strategy to overestimate and adversary than to underestimate one. But yes, I think that governments have quite a lot of power in general and very much so here in the U.S. Currently.

the dust problem was not dealt with via filtering UTXO's. it was dealt with by increasing the tx fee.

I didn't mean to imply that it was the only way, or even an important one (and I should have made that more clear.) Some good Sameritan type (Todd iirc) cooked up some deal which would scour a wallet for small UTXO's and aggregate them into a spend (into the ether as I recall the details.)

Generally speaking, formulating a spend is like reaching into your pocket and rifling around for change (UTXOs). You can take the time to pick out the 90% and wheat-tails, and/or make pretty close change, or just give the teller a handful and let them sort it out. None of these operations are difficult and all will work fine.

Alex Waters has figured out it won't work. you should too.

I consider Waters to be a repulsive puke and irrelevant enough at this point to not to go out of my way looking for his works. Guo same. I may skim their stuff if there was a link handy just to see if they may be up to new mischief or continuing said from the past. For this reason I will only guess that 'won't work' means it would ruin Bitcoin rather than be any particular technical challenge. Well, no shit! Anyone with a brain could have figured that out in a matter of seconds just as I did as I read about their new CoinValidation company.

why don't you spare us all some time and tell us how you would technically separate out taint from a set of UTXO's with varying percentages of taint all within the same address?

Well, the question displays a lack of understanding, but for shits-n-giggles here is some quasi-metacode:

Code:

while UTXO in wallet && desired spend not achieved:
check validation using api
if unvalidated && recip_is_retard_who_might_accepts_it
add to transaction
else
add to transaction

not only that, but tell us how you would make it practical and easy for avg Bitcoiners to comply with your law?

Use Coinbase or Multibit.
