The behavior users are relying on is \"The bitcoins you hold are\nforever a calculable fraction of all the bitcoins that will ever be\nissued.\"\n\nThat's what bitcoin holders agreed to, and that's what can never be\nchanged.\n\nThe fact that the number is arbitrary is not relevant. We can agree to\nmeet for lunch at some arbitrarily chosen time, and the fact that the\ntime was chosen arbitrary in no way means that one party arbitrarily\nchoosing not to show up doesn't break the agreement.\n\n- -- \nSupport online privacy by using email encryption whenever possible.\nLearn how here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bakOKJFtB-k\n-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux)\nComment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/\n\niQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTWUTWAAoJECoisBQbQ4v0JiwIALQtf4GrNaIdEidJr+f3z8G3\nsmDgU5xXhN4+1Eo5xU/ZmQy03tU5E00/PRiMTHz1RNXeO+w/iu4PlAJN7pk5oy75\nQzDtaCzDjKMCN+1PCQ5VNCL04ws8JifU6QLxSgXgsShBnv19FlxiejgvjNWg+Lzc\nuHxyP0PlvfF5BWTiEV68KYcfQPbamOH7Vb8v4tQ4/j/ioA7mYso+Q0jX0Y4ae1FN\nXNs4KnTsIFTsXWzBIYFlFPwQ5d+mdG84W7FpmwwcXaRWQxMwdJq8QjlUuFng439B\n6OgQqtq4wmvwoPjKS5nOesfdrdH9Scx2zg6uwhaY0zKMtPW/CEzzLFUfq+cZ6q0=\n=r+t0\n-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----\n-------------- next part --------------\nA non-text attachment was scrubbed...\nName: 0x1B438BF4.asc\nType: application/pgp-keys\nSize: 21191 bytes\nDesc: not available\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140424/6283c3e0/attachment.bin\u003e"}
