heh, this is a cool idea. It also seems like it would be subject to instant inflation, as it's unprovable, and a rational economic actor may choose to exaggerate such numbers. It also seems collectively rational by some points of view for all bitcoin actors to inflate this number. At a minimum, I would either add "marketing_" to the field name itself, or include additional comment caveats noting in BOLD language that this field is informational, and should not be relied upon for accounting/auditing purposes. It just seems like a statistic that everyone has an incentive to exaggerate. -- Jeff Garzik Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
