It's interesting that many outside of tech circles seem to be fascinated with Bitcoin. I have no opinion on alternative currency, but I have an issues with Bitcoin as an approach to alternative currency: it's a power hog. To use the politically correct terminology, it's not "green". Not even close. While it has its appeal to nerds because it uses the computer, it is an ecologically unsound idea when you consider "scaling up". How much energy does it take to produce paper currency? How much to generate "bitcoins"?

Given the world's energy situation, it's neither a smart nor a feasible "implementation" of alternative currency.

And starting a series of steps that have been automated for you?

For a one person project, git is unneeded overhead.

Would it be possible to have a Linux kernel with all it's up-to-the-minute hardware support together with a BSD userland maybe via DarwinPorts?[1]

For users who prefer a BSD userland to the one GNU offers, this would be magnificent.

1. e.g. Debian is doing the reverse: FreeBSD kernel and GNU userland.
