This is an appeal to emotion at its finest. You're talking about a experienced moderator who has been here for a while now. If you truly think that mprep does not know the difference between hardware and software, then I have no further comments.

You can always ask the global moderators to take a second look, but I doubt that will change anything.

It isn't. It has been working quite decently. If you get scammed it is usually the users fault (not always obviously).

Unless somebody presents a better system than what we have today, no.

You're better of being fed information directly into your brain from Trump than reading a forum like that one. Those people there are really horrible and I don't tend to say such things without a basis. I'm talking out of experience as somebody that I know tried to clarify something on that forum. It is just a waste of time.
Who came up with this nonsense? I've never heard of this before. Segwit is far superior than a 2 MB block size limit in all aspects aside from complexity. People are really being hyperbolic about this complexity though, mostly because their knowledge is lacking; quite unfortunate.

Okay, so he may or may have not abused trust in some point of time. Why are you rambling on about his posting behavior (current) then? I don't see this as an abuse of anything. You are allowed to post pretty much anything as long as it doesn't break the rules. Anyone could follow you around and try to insult you/troll you or whatever. Additionally, if he really did abuse his position I think he would have been removed by now. He might overreact sometimes, but you're all humans.

Update: Your posts are redundantly long and thus points can be missed easily. So I was right, mentioning his posting habits has no relevance.

You don't get banned for complaining.

Depends on who is right. Moderators are human, thus they can be wrong.

It never is.

Thank you captain obvious. Instead of calling people idiots, try finding true arguments as to why your thread is misplaced.

Definitely disagree unless you are talking about tracking down criminals only.

It is far away from being mainstream. I have no idea why some people tend to think that it is already mainstream.

You can't possibly know that; please refrain from making such ridiculous statements.

The problem is actually not the government but the people themselves. They either 1) Don't realize what is going on; 2) Don't bother doing anything about it. I'm still not sure which case is worse.

1) You can't possibly know this 'as a fact'.
2) This is not the case. This thread has been on my watch list for a long time now, however you can't expect me to remember 28 pages of nonsense either.
3) I asked for concrete examples because of number 2.

Do you know the meaning of the words "trust abuse"? Following you around the forum and posting in the same threads is "trust abuse" in your world?  

People keep saying that yet nobody provided a single definition of P2P Cash. I'm still waiting for a clear definition so that discussing would make sense.

We already have a platform, that's the issue. You can't fundamentally re-engineer Bitcoin from scratch anymore.

You can't really know that.

That's the most likely outcome that the debate is going to have.

They seem to be focusing on the important problems in their country.

You can arrest anyone for anything in corrupt countries.

So what if he disagrees with those?

See, this is completely wrong. I definitely did not post because a "I don't give a fuck" attitude. Trust is not moderated and there's only so much that can be done. However, I usually don't post in conflicts and just watch them from a distance. If there were clear examples of trust abuse, I'd like to see them.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fit.

Maybe.

It was always a power grab and nothing more. It seems like Gavin misses the old days when he was in charge. This reminds me of XT, slipping in features without actually discussing them and falsely promoting the implementation. Meanwhile, Core is actually doing something useful (BIP 9 just got merged).

Where are my 20 MB urgent blocks from 2015? 

This topic has been moved to Trashcan.
Reason: Duplicate.

Why is this thread still alive? If there were clear examples of trust abuse he would be removed from his position. You need to complain to everyone, but rather complain to the person from DT1 who has Vod on his list. I don't see a reason for the removal though. Seems like some people just can't go on without drama.

I don't see a single valid reason from OP. This seems like a big appeal to emotion which I dislike. The thread is in the right place now (Altcoin). Rather than complaining, prove me wrong OP (with valid arguments).

The moderation is pretty consistent and a moderator would not move your thread unless they were sure of where it belongs.

You aren't doing that at all. If people disagree with it then it can be discussed. Just share it and let's see. Keep in mind that answering all three questions would be very helpful.

Those were deadlines, those were estimates (IIRC). There's a clear difference between those two.

It might be best to just ignore the troll. You're feeding him and you should know how that usually goes.

I've already told you that if you want a definite answer that you'd have to provide a definition. What exactly is P2P cash? What features does it have? How does it compare to a settlement layer? Once we have answers to those, then we might be able to come to some sort of conclusion.

This is where it all starts being flawed. That's not the average transaction size, not even close. Source.

I can't answer this as your calculations are flawed due to using a wrong average. If you re-do them, then we might be able to talk about it.

Well, if the dollar crashes you're going to have a lot more problems to worry about than the price of Bitcoin. However, it might reach a high value in comparison to the dollar but that does not mean that it would have a high purchasing power (due to the crash).

I don't see this happening in the foreseeable future.

Exactly. It seems that some people tend to think that if Bitcoin "fails" for whatever reason that an altcoin is going to take over. However, this is most likely going to end bad for everyone. If Bitcoin collapses, it is likely that everyone will jump ship.

If there was a standard for those hard fork proposals, then that would make sense. However, if you start wanting to fragment the community with randomly set percentages and grace periods, then it will end badly.
