Also, it would be nice if you explain what kind of “pressure” you’re doing. You represent the rest of the bitcoiners here, so it’s nice to know how bob182 is acting on our behalf.
bob182 is certainly not acting on my behalf, nor several others, as these threads seem to indicate.
And for Pete’s sake, bob182, please don’t misrepresent yourself as some sort of official Bitcoin representative.
Wikileaks is the enemy of major world powers right now, with many influential elites feeling that Assange committed an act of war against the United States, or, at a minimum, irrevocably disrupted world affairs. This is not some mailing list discussion or theoretical exercise; there are very real, very powerful organizations actively targetting wikileaks’ network infrastructure, organizational infrastructure, and most importantly, financial infrastructure.
It is extraordinarily unwise to make bitcoin such a highly visible target, at such an early stage in this project. There could be a lot of “collateral damage” in the bitcoin community while you make your principled stand.
