True, enough philosophy. Once this BIP will be finalized - we will it's schedule implementation in XBTerminal. This is a solution to the problem we have, probably best one we have to date, so we will use it.

I think many of us feel it'd be better if this kind of thing were not needed at all, however, the best way to ensure it doesn't end up being used is to write code, not to try and block alternative approaches. If Bitcoin is robust the market should sort it out. If it's robust for some transactions and not others, that makes for a fun project for a future generation of hackers to sort out.

OK, enough philosophy - let's try and keep this thread just for discussion of the BIP itself from now on. If you'd like to continue debating the Future of Bitcoin please change the subject line and break it out into a new thread.
