I don't really know. Maybe something happens? But, I don't see why. It's still doing what it's supposed to do. The same utility.
maybe the person's history would be endlessly digged up and it'd be used to force a new agenda against bitcoin on the media, i suppose?
yeah possibly. we'd just treat it as another form of attack and fight back, same as everything else. I think the strength is now in the community and adoption. Too much at stake for too many people to let one person's history do anything to the network.
