What do you think? I think I might be close. I'm guessing $10,000 per bitcoin by then.
Possibly, but what will $10,000 buy you then? A loaf of bread? they said the same thing in 90 year, about 2010-2015 years, and guess what, nothing has change Yeah, perhaps I was a little extreme. Okay, two loaves of bread and a croissant.

When will it be?
I second this question, when is this happening? There is no set time at the moment but don't worry, you'll hear about it when the fork occurs. The bitcoin update will be announced and those that update will and those that don't want to won't. Everything will still work normally until a block exceeds 1MB (which will be unpredictable.) If say you had 100 coins before the fork, afterwards you will have 100 coins of 1MB fork and 100 coins of the 20MB. They are NOT interchangeable. The big question would be then is what chain would you ACCEPT coins from? Obviously anyone with more than 1 braincell would only accept coins as the true bitcoin from the chain the majority have chosen. If it goes 50/50 however, things could get ugly.

As a matter of fact after the fork there will be two chains, two coins who both will go by the name 'Bitcoin'. The original chain (1MB) will carry that name rightfully, the Gavincoin chain (20MB) won't but the supporters of that chain will still try to use the name.
To be fair whatever chain has the majority will take the crown of "bitcoin". I just hope the minority chain has the losing sportsmanship to rename themselves to something other than bitcoin and not sulk.

Gavincoin? Hardfork? What are you guys talking about...
Well, the Bitcoin blockchain you know and love so much is going into the ashbin of history and is going to be replaced by a new blockchain called Bitcoin. OP is being a whiny baby about it because he's too lazy to update. Well, that's not true. The old bitcoin chain everyone loves right now will continue to be mined and function normal and the original Bitcoin will live on. Gavincoin is a stupid fork of it and the supporters of that fork are going to try to tell the noobs it would be 'Bitcoin' but it won't be - everyone who isn't totally blind can see that. Gavincoin supporters will even deny the existance of the original Bitcoin as is already seen here on the thread. This is deliberate misinformation. Bitcoin will just upgrade to a 20MB block cap size instead of the current temporary 1MB one we are using now, as per the original plan. The so called "MPcoin" cannot be bitcoin because it will have a permanent block cap size and bitcoin has never had a permanent block cap size. It will be just an altcoin, same as all the rest.

Bitcoin has hit a dead end
Looks like it's trying to evolve and move on to me. But then I don't walk around with my eyes shut.

I wonder if OP is geninuely a dumdum or MP is paying for him to be?

Can't believe they're actually allowing him to stand trial with all the evidence so far.
Everybody has a right to a trial and have their side of the story heard.

Only way I can see you avoiding chess computer cheating is by playing a chess variant. Such as swapping the knight and bishop around at the start of the game. Though I expect people would still be able to adjust the chess engine to do these changes.

I am going to show the correct interpretation once he comes out of his basket.
Got a feeling your in for a long wait. He's busy working on the core which is important. Talking to you isn't important.

And how on earth can we kill off the 1MB chain, because even if it takes the 1mb chain a year to recover it will still hold the true title of the "original Bitcoin"
Assuming that the 20MB coin got the majority, why would the 1MB need to be killed off? It would just be another altcoin, such as Litecoin etc... It could never claim the title of "original bitcoin" because it would have a permanent block size cap and bitcoin has never had a permanent block size cap.

You need to get mad at the right people.
+1 Why is homo homini lupus having a dig at Gavin anyway?Surely he should be questioning his anti-fork leader MP about that PR train crash of an article he posted earlier.

Mr. Andresen i'm unable to find this original source of satoshi. You like to quote him without providing a link to the source, don't you? I can pull satoshi quotes out of my ass too. If you can't link to the original post it's not a legit quote. Please provide a link to the original source you try to quote ASAP. Did you not attend university? Did you not learn how to quote? Quotes without unambiguous reference to the original text are no quotes at all.
The quote is real you fucktard: http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg09964.htmlAre you Gavin? Mr. Andresen can't even quote Satoshi in an academic manner. How on earth can anyone take him serious? I'm expecting Mr. Andresen to correct his post and include the reference link before we'll be able to continue with the discussion on the actual topic/quote. Stop trying to weasel out of your folly and apologise to Gavin for suggesting he was lying.

I think he is loling at you not with you. Yeah I know that. I did consider pushing the "time and place" for my defense angle, but thought better to just admit defeat on that one as I can think of a few scenarios I could of been dug into a hole. Win some, you lose some. *shrug*

Should read it entirely and not take offense personally, be more mature.
So not wanting to wade through a bog of cheap shot point scoring scrawl to extract the real content is immature? Mmmmmmmm..... Well, you're kinda reading bitcointalk, which is trolls and derpage all the way down, so... Well there's a time and a place but yeah good point. Can't argue with that.

Will you be supporting any efforts to kill off the 1mb chain after the fork?
If the minority end up using the 1MB chain, it will become just another altcoin. To my knowledge Gavin doesn't actively engage in destroying altcoins that I'm aware of, unless others know different. Of course if the minority choose the 20MB, that will become the altcoin.

Yeah, same old story though. 99% of the post is trying to be witty, insulting people, score browny points, telling us how great he is etc... I read through a few paragraphs and stopped. Which is shame because there is probably some good arguments buried deep in there somewhere inside. If he wants to people to take him seriously, he'll need to up his game to a more professional level.

ad hominem everywhere, I'm out this discussion, enjoy your fork.
I don't see why the Bitcoin fork would bother you anyway. Remember... there is no reason to use Bitcoin now that Monero is the perfect virtual cash
