Might be worth looking into the recent RFC=C2=A07258: Pervasive Monitorin= g Is an Attack for some guidance on how to write such a social contract. Re: Gavin, note the language in the foundation bylaws: Section 2.2 The Corporation shall promote and protect both the decentrali= zed, distributed and private nature of the Bitcoin distributed-digital cu= rrency and transaction system as well as individual choice, participation= and financial privacy when using such systems. You might want to do a pull-req to add fungibility and rejection of black= lists to that list; note Adam Back's comments on how fungibility and priv= acy are inherently linked. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1 iQFQBAEBCAA6BQJTek/ZMxxQZXRlciBUb2RkIChsb3cgc2VjdXJpdHkga2V5KSA8 cGV0ZUBwZXRlcnRvZGQub3JnPgAKCRAZnIM7qOfwhYPIB/9/mhDOei8uMGHmzK41 YdL2ezs4LMPLyCRbo9Eu7MDJAMBaMH4VUbomR0tJVPRS191ifa2F/xGYnbDvk/PG rLX86uPPMBxZqnVMgZLeKJkUHm3Zlkm1Ti58bMR8VVQuPazBBpkYtsvk+0+8j9su ke7Xq+OqUGOC03bM4bxtKyBCy1FrCJuFgZEywKhOjr6boANLctDRBZerPqQ4AcjP tHSAAImcesMhjc/N9LJ4MeygszzblYpdsQeiw8jvvyZI7vCSHuKb+hur+kCszYjD ygfY9QmoNye2yc0GLZd+kXSMwY6gLIvaAFhv2ElMTMiJ7btHtJJfyEaA9Ub4zEEY JKeO =3DDSjZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
