Title: [2016-01-14] Classic? Unlimited? XT? Core?
Post by: LiteCoinGuy on January 14, 2016, 04:12:37 PM
Classic? Unlimited? XT? Core?

Almost two years ago, when I stepped down as lead maintainer for Bitcoin Core, I wrote:

    I’m pleased to be able to focus more on protocol-level, cross-implementation issues and less on issues specific to the Bitcoin Core software.


I’d still like to focus on protocol-level, cross-implementation issues but lately I’ve been distracted and have generated a lot of controversy (and hurt feelings) by helping out with some other implementations (first XT, lately Bitcoin Classic, maybe Bitcoin Unlimited soon.

Gavin is playing the crowd and doing what the majority wants him to do. He knows most people want some upgrade on the block size and he compromised. Why? ...Let's say for

one moment he gets the consensus and everyone forgives him for the XT fiasco, what then? Do we trust him and his new partners with the development and Lead maintainers

position? Gavin did a great job, when he worked with Satoshi, then he ran to the CIA and Satoshi dissapeared and he took the Lead position... after that things changed. It will

take some time before people will trust him again.  ???

Great posting.
Gavin is a person I would never ever trust again. Blocksize increase yes I agree with that. But not the way Gavin is trying to push it.
And since XT I'm done with that idiot! He is again using the divide and conquer strategy again.
