I thought you were libertarian-ish? You're OK with the Feds telling people who can have access to banking and who doesn't?
Did I say that? Please read the message that you quoted in it's entirety in your own post, and find the part where I wanted banking functions to be regulated.
I want banks extinct. But, banks are the oldest Cloud. People have been putting their money, their most valuable possession, in banks since forever. The suggestions that you can't take care of your own shit has been brainwashed into them for centuries. The last people on Earth that are going to figure this out, are the pot-head rebels who think cash is king... Government paper. What rebels they truly are.... Fucking stupid!
I'm saying that being inundated with the chronically stupid (pun intended) doesn't generally lead to good ideas.
You're telling me it took 8 years to come up with this idea, and that one guy can't do it in an afternoon, for free just cuz he thinks it would be fun?
The is the sort of stuff that non-pot-heads manage to do by accident just to see how it works.
But, they need years and millions to maybe...
I had something better than this worked out 2 years ago, but the DASHtards stabbed me in the back at the behest of The Usual Suspects. Who still haven't done shit, and shut off IX just as a similar project to my own was about to go live... Due to a "recently discovered" zero-day bug that hasn't been used, but was kept in the back pocket as a last ditch to prevent anyone from enabling an IX based service before "they" do... Which, at this point, is still not even on the radar... I'm absolutely worthless at writing and auditing code, and I saw this problem from the beginning. Suddenly, they care? No, it's just another paid-for IX-based proposal sabotaged.
That's 2 real-world usable IX proposals that were 100% ready to go, and The Usual Suspects sabotaged them.
The corrupt infighting on this project, at it's own expense, is fucking disgusting. They're willing to destroy it if they can't have all the glory for themselves... 2 years. 2. Fucking. Years. That's the head start now lost. All in the name of petty nerd egos.
But, lets talk about weed. That's way funner... Or whatever.
The common thread?
Both of the previously sabotaged IX-enabled payment projects were run by gun-toting conservative types. The DASH leadership is extreme left-fringe. They reserve the project only for "their own kind," and will not allow anyone with a differing political slant to participate. Every DASH meeting or speech or important gathering of any kind has been carefully placed in an exceptionally conservative-hostile locale. Leftist wack-a-doodles ONLY. Everyone else will be fucked over.
I give zero fucks if you want to spoke weed. Or if you're smart enough to bake it into pills with cocoa butter and lecithin to preserve it, because smoking and vaping the essential oils destroys most of the active elements that induce the desired effects... I want you to have that freedom. But, what about mine? This project draws in more people hostile to basic human rights, under the false guise of "but, weed bro!"
You're right to realize that it's extremely biased and partisan, but I'm not the one bringing that bias.
Any project presented by productive conservative type has been stonewalled and sabotaged. We're the people who get shit done (and have), and we're not welcome. DASH cut's off it nose to spite it's face by being un-apologetically attached to extreme left-fringe agenda politics, and asserting prejudices based upon it.
At no point did I even hint or suggest at the idea of regulating banking functions to any class or person. Yet, you presented the idea as if I were that guy... If I could nuke every bank and government building right now, I so fucking would. But, apparently, I want the pot heads to suffer... Or something... I'm probably a homophobic ammosexual patriarchal etc, blah blah blah, too... Call names at the people you hate, totally baseless, pretend they're the ones with the problem...
I know all too well the effects of partisan banking discrimination. The entire Gun Industry still suffers under the obnoxious lies of Project Choke Point. A Liberal Obama policy that artificially and fraudulently labels the MOST verifiable transactions that occur in the USA as "high risk" simply to deny card processing and banking facilities to anyone even marginally involved in the firearms business. I dare you to find a stupid liberal pothead that
doesn't rally behind this blatant abuse of power and true fascism. The Alt36 proposal would work great for the Gun Industry, too! And it'd face a lot less resistance. And the people are smart enough to actually understand it. But will they go there? Nope. Political agenda based on lies and hate is more important.
Accusing
me of being that guy? The aggressor pretends to be the victim, every fucking time... Yeah, I'm the great oppressor, the guy who thinks we should all have guns.
How can I possibly oppress you when I'm handing you a loaded gun? Yeah, I'm totally the bad guy...
Which one of these things expresses trust, solidarity, and freedom?
1) Handing you a loaded gun
2) Handing you a mind altering substance that will make you useless and stupid, and possibly incapacitated, for several hours. Along with recommendations to use it in the least effective manner with the most negative health side effects.
