now this is good news !
]]>close to 500 comments, I suggest that you write three novels to summarize the whole thing:
1) something like "Atlas Shrugged", but the other way round (thesis) 2) something like Spinrad's "The Iron Dream", but regarding the libertarians (antithesis) and 3) something you intended to write as the third volume of this triology the NSA wrecked (synthesis)
Hegel will be proud of you and I guess it is after the third volume that we will finally know about your position on governance, technologies and all the things in between.
Because you have confused 95 percent of your readers.
]]>remember your bad dream about the "The Ruling Party" ?
Do you think one of them will give a shit (redact if you like) about the carbon footprint of bitcoin mining, contemplating this amusing fact on the wooden planks on his yacht near St.Tropez ? Do you think the nsa/gchq is concerned about mining botnets while hacking your BT routers ? In another corner some traders from a shadow bank, wondering about a "utter lack of regulation". And of course our corrupt governments, always longing for "stable governance". All of them feasting on money backed by seven billion happy believers...
I don't get it - is your rant an appeal to the greater good ?

(If your pub accepts btc, I'll buy you the first pint from the 0.75 btc I own. Bought them a year ago via a swiss paypal account via a now defunct german bitcoin trading site, which was registered in London and had its account in poland. true story.)
((otherwise, if you ever come to Hannover, I'll buy you a nice Herrenhäuser payed with hard euros))
]]>"...Bitcoin to die in a fire" -> a digital one ?
"Bitcoin's utter lack of regulation permits really hideous markets to emerge, in commodities like assassination (and drugs and child pornography)." -> oh noes, you did it.
"Bitcoin mining software is now being distributed as malware" oh noes 2.0 !
"imply that BtC will badly damage stable governance" -> dear...
Anyway, satire or not, I'm ok with you going Trotskyism and I'm eagerly awaiting the re-release of accelerando under the guidance of the fifth international !
]]>but what if you release it chapter by chapter ? you could adapt to the real world on a monthly base.
(just curious, do you think the spooks are reading your unpublished work ?)

why was frodo not a female hobbit ?
why was 50 girls 50 not about 50 boiz 50 ?
why was spider jerusalem not bee jerusalem ?
why do you bow down to a queen - she is from the future or what ? (I know it's dangerous to flame you on your own forum, but...)
]]>ha, another sign of the demise of the anglo saxian cultural imperialism. I guess I'm not the first one to recommend (ahem) german scifi to you ? We excel especially in the description of advanced weaponery...
]]>as well as your covers and books I like your internal links:

]]>Shaved Mastodon Porn
not enough SciFi in this. What about Shaved Mastodon Porn filmed by the mastodon itself with giant google glasses ? would be a near future version of the opener of crooked little vein. charlie could develop this into mastodon shaped dyson spheres bumping into each other after exasecs of rising lust ?
