smickles: "While it has been said that the ECB report doesn't deny or disprove that Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, it doesn't accuse it of being a Ponzi either. The Reuters source is just a headline (

as saying Bitcoin was a Ponzi.

Namjies: "some criticized the plan
as being impossible"
smickles: google says it's "Indicate the faults of (someone or something) in a disapproving way", and fault

mod6: what i have code for now, and was trying to make work successfully was getting these three keys into a KeyStore for use
