I've not heard any other gold standard proponents suggest that we
should bring back slavery, and we know that gold standards have
existed w/o slavery.  Bankruptcy should not require jail or indentured
servitude time in order to make a gold standard work, nor could any
kind of forced labor compensate for adequately for any serious losses.
 Do not confuse that statement with support for a gold standard
though.

Yes please.  We've seen the bitcoin movie.

How about that attack on TLS 1.0 CBC IV chaining?  Pretty fun.
