Thank you Jeff.
Having looked at a lot of linux code, and now a lot of bitcoin code, the
biggest long-term systemic risk I see is that Bitcoin has is the lack of
code janitors.
The problem is that janitoring was *disruptive* for non-x86 linux architectures

is lots of code diversity out there in altcoins, and what appears to me to
be a really strong cryptographically sound time source, but only if you use
multiple diverse sources.

As long as use buyers and sellers can see the code, and have a good eye for

Let's suppose I have an alternate blockchain that specifically encourages
address *RE* use, and charges those that desire privacy higher transaction
fees to cover the network cost in computation and storage.
