One of the nice things about having a 'benevolent dictator' is that it will be much easier to make decisions about these things going forward.

My god, cheezes christ, what a socialist pile of crap.
These socialists should be forced to
spread their wealth.
'Maybe like a dividend to be distributed to all existing addresses'.Zikes! You guys make some pretty strong arguments and have convinced me of the error of my ways. Let it be known that I hereby drop my support (however brief) for switching Bitcoin to be under a 'benevolent dictator' and under XT.
Thanks for setting me right guys.
You're saying Mike Hearn was performing an altruistic power grab? That's not so terrible is it? Who wouldn't want one person to control the way their monetary system develops, the sort of person you can rely on to ignore everything that anyone else has to say and override it with a unilateral hard fork, all because that person knows better? What's wrong with Mike, with his superior understanding of what I want for myself, making more of my decisions for me? Why not all of them? He's a smart guy, and there's no way he'd make decisions on my behalf that benefit him.
You are being sarcastic, ok, just want to point out that what we have is not a dictator that is an algoritm or a protocol, what we have is free market private money.
