Wed Mar 23 14:20:45 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> since when is block reward JUST enrichment ?

Wed Mar 23 14:08:01 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> and for that matter, are you going to pay out of pocket for the costs anyone and everyone incurs to adapt to this model, like nsa via gavin paid (to their own people) for their 2013 debacle ?

Wed Mar 23 14:02:26 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> give more to the poor, they're worthier.
Wed Mar 23 14:02:20 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> if you are going to make other determinations than who won a bet, might as well put a 50% tax on the richest 10% or w/e the french fashion is these days.
Wed Mar 23 14:02:19 UTC 2016 <davout> mircea_popescu: i guess i did when i said 'bettor'
