To avoid a long-detailed reply which repeats what I’ve written dozens of times before, presumably I know a lot more about anonymity technology and decentralized ledger technology in general than you or Theymos likely ever will. There’s no practical, provably reliable anonymity which the national security agencies can’t break (due to meta data, out-of-band issues, etc).

But that’s besides the point. The banksters have never been able to control where a leaf falls on your lawn for example, yet that doesn’t prevent their control of central banking and usury from affording them vast control over our institutions from behind the curtain. They have to manage the continual evolution of technology and their power.

I could debate/discuss you with you further, but it would be a waste of my scarce time. You have a lot of reading to do. AnonyMint’s archives are 20,000+ posts. I’ll talk to you in a few months after you read it all and caught up.

And your presumably layman’s understanding of computer programming and large systems programming would cause you to believe that a smart individual in their garage could conceive+design+vet the economics, game theory, and code for Bitcoin while also managing all communication about Bitcoin. And an expert such as myself sighs.

Okay guys. I’m not going to load this damn forum for a while. Have fun with the thread. Can’t make a point and leave without having to defend old points over and over and over again. Understandable.
