a) You aren't being forced. people have a right to use the services they wan't. Complaining that customers want something different than you are offering has to be the most pointless whine ever. Wouldn't you agree? Either you offer what people wan't or you don't and run the risk of losing customers/business.

Only replying to clarify what I meant by that.I don't mind freedom of choice.I was simply at a loss of how to do thing properly.I'm sure you can understand Deathand taxes.The initial frustration you have when you can't understand why things are the way they are.I do feel that people should be more open to feedback from a different perspective instead of trying to defend something.Secondly I'm not sure where you got the idea I need to offer to pay for something.Thirdly people expect thing to be explained in a way that they can understand.it is a right for all people to have (equal) oppourtunities (where I live,anyone who thinks different is just seen as silly but that's a separate matter).Forth you could have been a little more helpful by linkng me to a post on here that answers the questions I was asking.This why people ask questions beacuse they wish to learn something not to be critiqued at all.Fifth I have the right to be skeptical of anything that doesn't sound 100%.

I do accept however that the anonymous nature of bitcoin can complicate things as to checking that things are as they should be (ie no cheating/double spend attacks) but still I still think that from examples I've seen there are two clear approaches:1.Decentralised (where everything is done without a central server making sure things are ok and instead relies on peers with other methods-may not be easy for everyone to use/understand) and 2. Centralised (the system I'm more familiar with as I know the clear port of call if something goes wrong and easy for guys like me to use.Trust is heavily placed in a central place though meaning if that person is unscrupulous however,this can really cause problems.)

If you can understand my position,I'd like to hear from you again.
