And if liberty is to be the attribute of the real man, and not of that abstract puppet envisaged by individualistic Liberalism, Fascism is for liberty. And for the only liberty which can be a real thing, the liberty of the State and of the individual within
mircea_popescu: 7. Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State; and it is for the individual in so far as he coincides with the State, which is the conscience and universal will of man in his historical existence. It is opposed to classical Liberalism, which arose from the necessity of reacting against absolutism, and which brought its historical purpose to an end when the State was transformed into the conscience a

mircea_popescu: pankkake in obama's fantasy world, europe is a developing country, that's lagging behind the us.
mircea_popescu: obama, always such a master of cluelessness.

Namworld: All I mean is there's no fuss to be about it... it's just a tool, not a chain fork/change of protocol.
Namworld: You can already create a multisig wallet. This is just a tool proposal to communicate to an external server a 2FA token and receive the partial signature back. You can already set this up manually.

Namworld: Seems to be just a utility proposal.
Apocalyptic: on another topic, does someone have a link to the neat Deprived bond description ?
Namworld: Gavin's proposal doesn't change anything, it just adds an interface for making it easier to have a 2 factor setup with a second part of a private key on your own external server. Isn't it what he's proposing?
pankkake: but why not y-of-x keys in a decentralized way?
Namworld: That would be completly optional... either keep using as usual, or create a two key private key...
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking outrage.
pankkake: and trusting a server operator… or even the server to be up when you need it…
mircea_popescu: basically gavin just came up with a way to take over control of people's wallets.
