Title: Good-n-bad news
Post by: Come-from-Beyond on March 01, 2013, 05:42:56 AM
Hey guys.

Looks like BTC has serious issues related to the blockchain bloating. Bad news for BTC hoarders but good ones for the others. Time to move on to a next cryptocoin and LTC looks like a very good choice. Of coz, in a year or two we'll face the same issues, so be ready to move on again. While a lot of tech-savvy dudes thinking to increase the block limit or not to increase the rest of us could just hop from one currency to another.

Exchanges will help us to transfer our wealth from one blockchain to another and this is good news for traders.

Good luck.

In other news, litecoin is undergoing emergency treatment for blockchain anorexia.

"I'm so fat", litecoin commented mournfully. "I can never be loved if I look like THIS".

I missed you. How is your proof-of-network coin going ?

Very good. I found a solution of the Sybil attack, rewrote network engine from TCP to UDP to reduce DDoS attack impact and changed RSA for Elliptic Curve crypto to reduce network bandwidth requirements.

Actually I think it's easy to handle the block size problem, the hard disk is actually very cheap. You can buy 1TB with 70$, how long it will be used up?

The bitcoin downside is actually the limitation of transactions in each block, making the transaction will slower when it gets more popular. But bitcoins are already not suitable for small transactions, so let these big players play it. As long as there're so many big players, it can still keep balanced & decentralized. As long as these big players do not unite & monopoly, it's still decentralized.

So don't take decentralization too serious, it's just a form of balance.

2 months at 100MB/block.

I made that decision when the price started to spike while the masses were running in to BTC I sold off and started to look for other places to put my money. I dont know shit about mining, or what a bloated hash rate is, but I know a asset bubble when i see one. Yes I missed out on some market movement I sold off a 22, but I am not in it for for that. I want to take the money power and give it back to the people. I have no loyalty what so ever to any coins, couldn't careless. They are all fine by me if they are decentralized, voluntary, attainable, and no coding flaws. Which I have to take the communities word on the last one.

Not really, since it changes a lot of the things that are good about BTC.  For example, it makes it a lot harder to increase the hashing power of the network, reducing security.

A better choice would be a coin that is closer to the excellent Bitcoin design, like Terracoin.

As far as "moving on," I'm not reducing my Bitcoin holdings, but I'm definitely accumulating some additional *coin as well.
