Title: Jihad is mining empty blocks while shills sell us their propaganda
Post by: BillyBobZorton on May 18, 2017, 03:28:58 PM
Jihad Wu is minning empty blocks and blocking segwit while claiming Core is killing onchain transactions, in order to push his agenda to kill full validating nodes and control the network by turning into into a 100% china coin.

This guy is nothing short of a bitcoin terrorist, and their paid shills are pathetic pigs, and if they do it for free then they are idiots that aren't getting where the blind blows.

Shills are sure on full steam because Roger Ver is going to run out of spam money again. But what they don't get is, the ability to run full validating nodes is priceless, so you can pump the fee to one trillion dollars, changes nothing.

here's an article about empty blocks

It's worth pointing out that it can't be argued that miners are purposefully mining empty
blocks while simultaneously attempting to block scaling solutions in order to profit from high fees.

Jihan is blocking segwit which is the only scaling solution that could give us safe blocksize increases in the future and most importantly, full lightning network support.

Segwit is already working on litecoin, and even in other coins that aren't as relevant because they aren't bitcoin clones (so if a segwit problem happened on those coins it wouldn't really be relevant but even there it's safe)

Where is the end of the world? Segwit is working nicely, lightning network transactions in litecoin are making history while this demon keeps blocking progress.

fun fact: according to Greg Maxwell, segwit is not needed for LN.

fun fact: according to Greg Maxwell, segwit is needed for LN to operate at full capacity and take advantage of all the interesting improvements in technology.

We all know LN can work without segwit, but it sucks.

Why do we always have to point out obvious facts to big block shills? geez.
