They are very serious issues what you have posted.
The great Satoshi, who created the Bitcoin and Namecoin should bless you for your efforts.
On depositfiles doesn't work the download.
The OP has completely misrepresented this - please read the whole thread.
The Foundation and the black/red/greenlist issues are different things.
Heavily misrepresented ?
But how is your representation ?
So far what I'm reading is a very adult conversation about serious issues Bitcoin faces as it grows up. I'm not seeing the sort of thread that would happen here or Reddit.
It's not decisions being forced by the Foundation and I'm tired of seeing it put across like that. It's a discussion and it's a really important one. Here is why:
Imagine Bin Laden is still around.
We find out his Bitcoin address. It contains 10,000 Bitcoins and we can see transactions entering it.
We then see outgoings, some of which are traced to weapons used to kill 1000s of Americans, think a major bomb or subway incident.
What do you think is going to happen? Media outrage and congressional outrage. "We must ban this worldwide!". It's exactly what will happen. Bitcoin being so public is a double-edged sword.
Oh you forget some small details:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24547256BBC News - Iraq study estimates war-related deaths at 461,000For what did they died ? For a non existent nuclear program ?
This is what happened and not a fictive scenario like yours.
Killing people with pushing buttons in sovereign countries:

Do you want to rollback the money which would come in the hands of those who are killing thousands and would you give it in the hands of those who are killing millions ?
I don't want anything that's been proposed but I can see the need for a good digital identity system.
Here I must give you right. But Namecoin ID is exactly the proper solution for it.
A pseudonymous identity with trust rating is what we need.
