The amount of MISinformation and DISinformation in this thread is staggering.

This thread was created only so it could later be linked to by http://www.redstate.com/2013/05/16/tech-at-night-bitcoins-central-bankers-kim-dotcom-censors-mega/

I understand that Gavin is a busy man, but IMHO, promptly and accurately responding to such disinformation and FUD attacks, should be given high priority, because it may damage bitcoin more than any technical attack could.

What does everyone else think about this?

I also thought that fighting the FUDers in constructive manner is the way to go, but then realized that in btc's case FUD fails severely... although you can actually scare the latent new people from joining at the time being, you can't really scare the people that are already in, yet alone to scare the code itself, utp cable or the graphic card...

Code will proactively change to allow as much trashy transactions as the current price makes affordable... Eventually, when we reach 0 block reward, price is projected to be at the right level to support the miners with just a transaction fee...
