To create a real decentralized currency would probably require active participation ... senders of transactions ...

... the only way that really makes sense is ...

Let me ask you a rhetorical riddle. Does the proper functioning of some open source software require every user of that software to review every line of code. Linus' law is the only known positive scaling law of software engineering.

Malthusians want to return to simpler time when there was no surplus and thus we were all struggling every day to find food:

That statement is nonsensical referring to people who know that increasing technology requires an exponential resource commitment curve, increasing vertical integration and loss of freedom as "Malthusians". Kaczynski is correct and increasing complexity always results in loss of freedom.

You are entirely conceptualizing everything incorrectly. And I mean everything. You are so fundamentally off course, it is ridiculous.

Your error begins with not understanding that the Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates that entropy is always trending to maximum. Technology increases the degrees-of-freedom, thus is congruent with the inexorable Second Law. Consuming resources is merely the restructuring of matter in greater degrees-of-freedom.

I have written extensively about this in my discussions with CoinCube. Remember iron used to be a precious metal.

I don't have time to argue this with you, but I am warning you r0ach that if you stay in this tinfoil hat delusion, you are going to miss the big enchilada investments.

I suggest you move this debate to the Economic Devastation thread where it belongs. It is really off-topic for this thread.
