Agreed :)

For those that believe one particularly noisy country in the North America
region with a policy called SOPA or PIPA directly affects Bitcoin - can you
point out precisely where it does so?

The "satoshi" bitcoin client already supports use over TOR with the proxy
option - I think this was something Satoshi made regular use of.

🗒️ Summary of this message: A proposal to combine DNSSEC TXT record and HTTPS to get the dynamism of HTTPS without a rigid URL scheme for querying the server.
📝 Original message:Just so we're clear, what is the need for HTTP at all?

A query for a string and an answer can all be handled via DNS.

🗒️ Summary of this message: A proposal to enable complete user@server.com handling in Bitcoin by extending the protocol for transactions to IP addresses and enabling DNS lookups.
📝 Original message:This is the first proposal I've seen regarding mapping something like
user at host that actually makes sense to me.

Bitcoin itself is decentralised by design, in my opinion it seems obvious
that it needs to continue to maintain this feature.
