vOv posted:for some reason legal documents tend to be kinda repetitive: 'cease and desist', 'terms and conditions', 'true and correct', 'breaking and entering', etc. A legal doublet is a standardized phrase used frequently in English legal language which consists of two or more words which are near synonyms. The origin of the doubling — and sometimes even tripling — often lies in the transition of legal language from Latin to French. Certain words were simply given in their Latin, French and/or English forms, often pairing an English word (or a more archaic Anglo-Saxon word) with a Latin or French synonym, so as to ensure understanding. Such phrases can often be pleonasms.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_doublet

everything will be so much simpler and clearer when the state is decentralized and law resides on the law chain. clumsy Latin phrases will be replaced with simple php objects cryptographically signed with elaborate hash functions. everyone will do what the computers say, unless they have enough hashpower to appeal. if the lawchain decides to start torturing people, you could always just murder everyone out of mercy and/or spite, too.

Do bitcoiners have anything to say about quantum computers likely turning public key cryptography into poo poo sometime this or next decade? I know that they think that their butts are going to last forever, but before long mankind is going to develop a capability that destroys the foundation upon which they've placed their hopes and dreams,and and even the most hardcore holdouts will be hosed then It's like the end of any pyramid scheme but a million times more extreme, because even your worthless tulip bulbs get taken away

the talent deficit posted:nobody is even close to building the hardware that can run those algorithms (except the nsa probably and also maybe the chinese security apparatus) There are challenges, but bitcoiners believe that their currency will last forever, and that's a timescale on which the challenge of breaking the encryption behind bitcoin becomes inevitable. The last bitcoins are supposed to be mined in 2150 or something stupid like that, but mining is based on an algorithm that will inevitably be defeated much sooner than that.

^^^^ really the most comical and satisfying way for bitcoin to die is not through brute government force, moneyed interests, or an exploit in the protocol using existing or future tech, but instead through the free market slowly strangling it as bitcoiners blame its death on socialism. friendly reminder that the 29th will be when bitcoin's all time high was last year. it'll be a ~69% loss if the price stays stable until then. after that i guess ill just have to sperg over doors until silk road and auction happenings happen again.
