Now that the hype is dying down, maybe people will start thinking more about how to make bitcoin easier and more available and less about how they can profit off of mining and trading.

Start? People have been thinking (and working) on that even before the hype began (see for example the Android client now on the frontpage, or the new client UI being developed, wallet encryption being tested now, and various web payment services), it just gets drowned in all the trolling, mining related talk and price speculation.

What you call "trolling," others call "pointing out the obvious flaws in an unsustainable system."

[wladimir]

Replace "trolling" with anything you want, how you call it doesn't figure into my argument at all.

There is plenty of noise on either side.. if you want to look at it like that.
