Google for Semantic Versioning Specification (SemVer) of GitHub, where Bitcoin is currently hosted and you will see the versioning process of software: Version format of X.Y.Z indicate that X = Major, Y = Minor and Z = Patch. Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable…Version 1.0.0 defines the public API. The way in which the version number is incremented after this release is dependent on this public API and how it changes.

1) Logically the devs should have very little power over the direction of BItcoin, and the users (as a whole) should have a lot of power over the direction of Bitcoin
I concur. However, when deciding between proposals developers should have more 'power' (because let's face it, the average human is pretty stupid/ignorant). I hope that you understand what I mean by this. Totally agreed. Core Devs are the ones brought us here and now, after Satoshi. 2) The maximum block size needs to be increased immediately
No. Segwit will be enough for now. As long as now is now...and not in 6 months.

It's very simple. Check this document and you won't find Xapo on it BUT you will find Coinbase http://banking.delaware.gov/pdfs/alllicensees.pdfAlso, the law requires any licensed company to publish this information on their website and office. Xapo doesn't have any such information. A financial licensed won't hide this thing but on the contrary, it will be VERY visible because it brings trust . Now that is a good point, see? Like i'm from italy and if soemone here would say "hey Hamu can you check if this italian company got their license for financial trade?" i would do the same community service like you just did for xapo! +1 to you mayax and thank you for bringing this up. Let's see what xapo will answer now...

From their TOS (source https://xapo.com/terms/ ) Xapo is incorporated in Hong Kong , has an office in Palo Alto, California and operates Worldwide.... ...If you are using our Services in the United States, you are engaging not with Xapo Limited but with Xapo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xapo Holdings Limited so using their service from EU i still feel legal Xapo, Inc is NOT registered as money transmitter in Delaware nor in any other stare, so it is operating illegally.
Source it's not how you feel, it's about how they are. Even in Hong Kong, they need a financial license to operate with Bitcoin. They have not. Xapo, Inc is NOT registered as money transmitter in Delaware nor in any other stare. You can check that with Delaware's Office of State Banking Commissioner. Xapo is illegal. Hey bud you need to give us source if you have proven accusations. I can believe you saying xapo is illegal but you need to bring us proofs of it, even as community service if you believe that. You cant say "they are not registered anywhere" because that would imply us going to check any license office in the world and it is not a walkable path. Please if you have proofs xapo is illegal, give us evicendes. Thank you

So today i feel a bit disappointed. I am not so young anymore so i have learnt to be patient and wait for things to happen but...it seems when it comes to money matters, we cant be that patient anymore. The most exciting part of Bitcoin is that you are not under any bank law anymore, no office time, no long waiting for lazy employers to process your transactions, no more interests or fees, etc. So my expectations are exactly those: freedoom to receive, spend, earn, mine, buy and sell pretty much everything, without delay, without "if" or "but", pretty much instantly and cheap! Last night i was talking with a friend of mines here on bitcointalk and i proposed him a deal. Deal! he said, so we went ahead, he gave me his bitcoin address and i logged in my vault (which is not realy a vault, it is the place i store bitcoins while i do mining operations and such with them), and put his address, put the amount, got a nice miners fee to be sure to make mates happy (i'm a miner myself) and pressed GO! Usually that kind of transaction takes 10-15 minutes for 1 confirmation, up to 1 hour for 6 confirmations: amount 0.12BTC. To my friend and me tho, would have been enough to see the transaction show up at blockchain and he would have delivered the digital good (we had previous transactions in the past and i went first). Waited 10 minutes...30 minutes.....1 hour......the transaction didnt even go tru the blockchain! Checked up the website i store those coins: pending! At that point i wasnt REALLY worried about the coins themselves because the place they are stored is propably the most trustworthy company actually around here...but what made me mad was the sh*** figure i was doing in front of my friend! Damn...of all the transaction i usually do (some of them even not welcome as i pay bills and other shits with bitcoins) was it really possible i had to make such a poor figure in front of an enjoable transaction with a friend of mines here at bitcointalk? I got mad, started to look for any support contact on that website, started to hone call chinese guys....anything came in my mind waS done. Yeah i was mad...i still am... Lesson learnt in a Bitcoined Sunday: yes it is my fault i should have stored those Bitcoin in a local wallet on bitcoind, but then i couldnt use them for my investments the way i need. Yes i could have bought Bitcoins to send to my friend with an alternative way, but then i would have to ask to my friend to send me back the initial 0.12 once he would receive them (and i trust him for this), yes i could have a reserve elsewhere to face up these kind of situations, yes it is saturday night/sunday morning and prolly chinese guys are sleeping while i am goddamning....but....WHY EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SO AWFUL HARD! This is the real actual matter: no need kill applications or something "to-the-moon". We just need this to be much, much, much, much EASIER! For noobs and veterans...that would be the real viral and killing environment that would make Bitcoin on mainstream!

Where does it say bitcoin is bad? You don't seem to understand what an open source technology is, you don't make 'copycats', you fork it, you are free to do whatever you want with it and you should do so.
People are always bitching about how terrible and slow bank's services are, and they are, but when they try to adopt the best technology available to improve their services people start bitching about they doing so...
You arent getting the real question: their ignoring bitcoin and building their own cryptocurrency on top of blockchain (without Bitcoin) is a clear attempt to centralization with a so called "thrusted central authority" which is absolutely unnecessary in this contest. Despite i agree with you about the meaning of opensource, that's not the matter of this topic. you don't make 'copycats', you fork it, you are free to do whatever you want with it and you should do so.
Yeah if "you" is a mining pool or a group of guys making their own coin...but when it comes at banks and Inc...i get alergic, sorry

Again, can you show examples?
Google is your friend if you havent heard about it but sure i can show you some links of banks and companies exploring blockchain with the underlying (sometime explicit) idea of making their own Bitcoin copycat: I say underlying because they aiming to a trusted centralized authority that would magically make their own criptocurrency "trustworthy" itself. So i see it as an attempt to force centralization of cryptocurrency, which, in my opinion, is not necessary. I would also suggest to read a recent Paul's article about private blockchains over his truthcoin blog.

I haven't seen any of that, can you show some examples where you've be seen that and why do you think "central banks and fiat authorities" are behind it?
what i personally see is that some banks are hostile to bitcoin, and bitcoin-related transaction, while they are studying the blockchain tech Exactly. I am talking about all those cases where fiat-tied international companies (some banks included) are trying/claiming to implement private blockchains in the name of a "centralized trusted authority" would make it safe. In my opinion, we dont need that: decentralization is the way to make it trusthworty. So why they do that: that's an altcoin to me.

I think it is just yet another attempt from central banks and fiat authorities to defame Bitcoin and still take advantages of its technology, to create their very own, controlled, centralized, bs copycat. There is a long list out there and by now i'm just going to consider them at same level of altcoins. They claim a "centralized trusted" authority would allow a massive worldwide usage, i say : yes you can make something thrustworthy in 2 ways, rather you use a centralized trusted authority (kinda like we use escrows) OR you can rely over a decentralized chain sys where you "cant cheat", period! Actually i see a lot of progress being done on the "double spending" issue too so yes: Blockchain is good and Bitcoin is good to me, isnt it?

Looks good, if rates will stay low, it will be a very interesting option to buy and sell bitcoins. Question: i see "zero fee, always free". How you guys are going to make money over there?

Try to answer this: - why such a successful mining company with millions of GPU hashing 24/7 all over 7 datacenters spread in the world, would NOT post just a single little tiny picture of their assets or their employers?
- why they dont declare which pool they are mining to? (like other companies did in the past till they pulled out their hash from a bigger pool because of 51% issue and made their own pool)
To all saying: "Idc where that money coming from as long as i get paid" > you are a scammer like them because you aware of the scam and you accept money stolen from other users (and you know it).

Buy as much as they can before the halving because the consensus is that the price will go up significantly sometime at or after that. And then go from there.
This...or: with 1kUSD you can easily buy 2 x ant S7 at hashnest. Each S7 can actually mine 3usd per day after maintenance, electricity and shits. 3USD per day X 30 days X 2 (AntS7) == 200USD per month. He/She would ROI in a few months, still having principal available: hashnest allows you to sell your hashpower, even partially (of course your profit would decrease). You can teach the teen about the chinese phenomena and teach them to move wisely with investments, trading, mining, risks etc, having as background a giant hardware builder like Bitmain with its own pool (the most thrustworty investment i see around atm). BW does the same too but prices are a bit higher. Growing up enough, that teen could start renting out his/her hashpower to people say 10-15% higher than its cost aka a para-sub cloud mining mini-company. Yes, S7 profit will decrease with time, expecially facing the halving but i'm pretty sure there will be S8,S9,Sx or whatever ASIC suppliers will come out with. Please! Dont teach a teen with ponzi, gambling, etc...
