As a relative newcomer, this is what I am loving most > about Bitcoin. The widespread disclosure we do is a good thing for sure. Keep in mind that Bitcoin is brand new technology, and brand new fields tend to get lots of people coming in and trying to patent them. Public disclosure, and bitcointalk, the email list, and github all count, is a valuable tool to ward off potential threats in the future if it ever comes to that. FWIW it might not be a bad idea to see if archive.org would accept some of the key documentation like the development section of the forum, the email list archives, and the irc logs. Some issues, especially on the forum, with people's ability to edit posts after the fact, but we're breaking new ground here and the history should be archived. --=20 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 00000000000000f5a3175efc20cdac41f848d47dc7d00debe821ebfa69f91db9 --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEUEARECAAYFAlGIINcACgkQpEFN739thowAEgCWNqk1fQa16XUZO7SO7PMvG7cq YgCeOf83URbdEuX6tQBydO4/VYNHbFs= =0xDN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY--
