The conversation thread from February 2015 on the Bitcoin-development mailing list includes discussions about the potential for mass surveillance with a device that could monitor anyone with a wallet in a highly populated area. The device could easily track individuals through facial recognition technology and Bluetooth MAC addresses. While there were concerns about the possibility of payment spam, it was noted that this could be addressed by requiring signed requests and blacklisting spammers. The thread also included an advertisement for the Go Parallel website, which is focused on parallel software development and sponsored by Intel.
