How would it be enforced? Require the field to contain "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----"? Have it tied to their public key?

« on: November 13, 2013, 07:42:40 pm »Why would you want an easily attainable currency? LTC is too simple to mine with CPUs. One of the betters aspects to BTC is that mining is incredibly difficult.
Surely that's a positive, meaning anybody (your normal guy) can mine LTC whereas BTC mining is a craft controlled by only those few with high powered machines. Makes sense to have a greater number of normal people mining rather than just a few really powerful people controlling most of the mining network.
Not necessarily. It may devalue the currency - imagine if everyone could print they're own money. Maybe not the best from an economic perspective.
That's not the case. Not everybody can mine their own Litecoins, a high grade is still expected. And even if so, you wouldn't be able to just keep printing them, there is a limit on how many can be produced (and based on how many people are mining, the difficulty will adjust accordingly) just like Bitcoin. Bitcoin's total is 21,000,000 coins whereas LTC's is around 84,000,000. Your analogy of people printing their own money was an awful one at that, doesn't even apply to this situation.
More people have access to powerful CPUs than powerful GPUs. The difficulty of LTC is not as high as BTC. The good thing about your average user not being able to mine is that it requires actual currency to purchase. Introducing LTC would devalue it until the difficulty was up to par. The money-printing analogy does indeed work in this case. Vendors would not faith in a digital currency that would fluctuate so much.

What is the number of confirmations needed for a deposit? ~30 min to complete is pretty good.

If he starts shit posting you guy's know why it's because I'm not going to fall for his childish shit.
It's the same email that is associated with your public PGP key on these forums. It's just a troll looking for a fool.

Good points. All of them taken together would make for a very paranoid individual. I do love a good dead man's switch though.
