Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but no programming font comes close to Monaco in terms of clarity and character balance and spacing (vertically and horizontally).

Ultimately it comes down to being able to patterns quickly in the code. You can train yourself to do this with any font.

This tickles me: "With a substantial new toolkit stack below come exciting new crashes and problems that need time to be shaken out." I think I'll refer to all crashes as "exciting" from now on.

Yes, right. Not currency, identity. The bitcoin approach is used to uniquely identify specific transactions for a node's traffic.

The way I'm reading it, nodes pay their neighbors for successfully delivered packets using bitcoin-like credits mined by specialized nodes. I'd imagine the nodes with high balances would then be prioritized for delivery (both sending/receiving).

"20. What is the status of Open Libernet at this time? We are still at idea stage. We’ve built a few simulations to test some parts of the system, but the main development hasn’t begun. We have published our whitepaper, which explains – to some degree of detail – the proposed protocol, and we’re still waiting for review. For that, if you happen to have any insight on routing protocols, networking or software development that you would like to share with us, please do so. If you think something with the protocol is not right or needs to be improved, or if you have a better idea on how to do something, also do not hesitate to voice your opinion. This is a community project and we are more than happy to receive all the help we could get. Also, everything we’re doing is Open Source, including the white-paper, the concept and in the future the code. You are free to take anything you like, modify, publish and release, then tell us about it. Or if you prefer, don’t."

Prime Minister Gordon Brown had already issued an apology in 2009.
