kakobrekla: take that as a no.
GirlfawkesyBTC: As a side note, thank you to everyone who has been politely educating me today. I've been away from btc for awhile, and before I throw myself into coinbr or other trading I'd like to feel rather competent.

mod6: ThickAsThieves: ok thank you. I was feeling pretty stupified for a few minutes there.
mod6: I mean, if anything, why not just peg like 1 satoshi to a certain unit of gold? Then it would have a sudo-peg via gold, correct?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure, I agree, this is a stretch of the imagination. but let's imagine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ok, let's stick to clones. Picture Bill Gates, a hypothetical BGEx with a 5 BTC fee.
mircea_popescu: if you mean start a competitor with an angle, it all boils down to whether the angle a. actually helps you and b. is good enouigh to push you
