Cypherpunk da2ce7 lays out the HOWTO for a Complete Government Takeover of Bitcoin, how they can lock out miners that are not registered with the Government and 0wn it. We get into the Bitcoin over Freenet Project which creates a parallel communication and Bitcoin network, adds an ANTI-DDOS layer, and Anonymity layer to Blockchain exchange, distribution, and updates and p2p Payments. He then tells us how Bitcoin could survive a complete internet shutdown, albeit with 2 day payment settlement times using a Freenet based data p2p distribution/sync system.
This episode is Pure Fun.

Wow, awesome episode. I love the whole freenet + sneakernet >> internet killswitch shit. This show is getting close to Snow Crash.
In the show you mention a Sneakernet type of operation used by ships-at-sea? I want some information on that for the next Meetup. Got any leads or URLs?
We will try to get the source on for a show.
