My response was meant to clarify my earlier point which you called an "odd attempt to by Fatman3001 to insinuate [you] advocated for technique used by Stalin and his followers".

I see there is still some confusion. The Great Purge was linked as an example. If you don't know the meaning of the word I can provide you a couple of links:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/purge

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Purge

Now you are back-peddling and suggesting you were using the term Purge in a very generic sense and not referring to that horrible moment in history. 

Sounds like you're planning a good old fashioned purge there. Sure good you're not a collectivist, comrade. Where's Yezhov?




Ahhh, rats!!! You got me!!!

Bitcoin is a global phenomenon, so I was obviously suggesting that you were trying to implement global stalinism in order to execute large swathes of the global population.

Silly me. Clearly nothing escapes your keen eyes and sharp wits.

A purge is quite common in academia and similar groupings.

We had one at the uni near where I live. One professor had an agreement on a work schedule that made it possible for her to see her children, who lived in a different city, two days a week. When the other side of the conflict took over the institute that agreement was cancelled. The wife of a professor on the "wrong" side, who was also a professor at the same institute, lost her regular lecture hall and had to conduct her lectures on the other side of campus up a steep hill. She was in a wheel chair. The third professor was defined out of the institutes research profile and forced to leave his long term research in order to teach introductory classes for new students and preparation classes for high school students. A fourth professor, who was technically illiterate, was forced to leave his research and lead the institutes new IT program, which included summer classes.

There are many different ways to push people out of a community, to purge the community. Considering that there is a very real chance that this will happen in the Bitcoin community I would be more careful with boisterous proclamations calling for exclusion and vigilance. Theymos is already doing everything he can to shut people down. Adam Back and Gmaxwell have been making some less than reassuring noises as well. If you really believe in an open and free community I suggest you take this to heart.

I don't think it is wise to conflate the Great Purge with the forms of ostricizations you are describing and find it very odd that you are reading into my statements intentions that just do not exist. I have explained very clearly what should be done with "shills/trolls/  agent provocateurs" --

Meanwhile ... 21 releases better code using the new CLTV opcode to setup a micro-payments channel to dramatically increase capacity with no need for a blocksize limit increase, and no added network tradoffs. Works with any device and free to use.
Caveat: "to allow high frequency Bitcoin-based microtransactions between any pair of 21 Bitcoin Computers," true P2P, i.e between 2 PiTatoes Cheesy


The Decentralizationing!

Whoa brother... I was thinking more of deleting their comments and banning them from subreddits... followed by a little gentle DDoSing, no need to go that far.

You were using the term Purge which was an odd attempt to by Fatman3001 to insinuate I advocated for technique used by Stalin and his followers. Take a Look at this deplorable moment in history that he was referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge

Looks like you got your purge Bitusher.

Congratulations!!!

Does Vitalik even lift though?

He needs to start lifting and eating in order to build some muscle before I invest a cent.


That is not logical.

The main advantages of Ethereum over Bitcoin is that people in control are qualified and expected to not screw everything, unlike Core people.

You must be oblivious to the development crisis's and mistakes in Ethereum and the flight of developers from that project.

I think its main advantage could be that the founder of the project is still there and functions as a "natural consensus". Also its good that his identity is known.

Apart from that ETH could get the same problems and civilwars that Bitcoin is experiencing.

Good point.

All this cultist crap around Satoshi is not healthy.

Might be nice to know some lone ranger can't suddenly up and flood the market with bags and bags of coins. IDK. It is a trust machine, after all.

This might hurt.

Fully funded development until 2023?

oh the pain

Monkey reports in: Monkey thinks the next week could be uppish, but is generally skeptical out until mid-March, then bullish on the multi-month scale.

This time, I think I agree, but whatevs.


year of the monkey hasn't officially started yet has it?


Am I looking at what I think I am looking at?  Shocked

what the hell is up with the price this is beyond ridiculous

The world decided it prefers Ether. Now Bitcoiners everywhere can be R3KT together. Harmony restored. Embarrassed

There is no such thing as going up without corrections...ETH is in the mega hype bubble phase..it will crash sooner or later...don't forget it is premined and pos

Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Let me just go all in. Right.......now!

There. Investing is so easy. Smiley

OMG. That would have worked. Cry

The great migration is real!

This is corecoin now. Users are spam. We only want high value clients.

link please

It's in the works. I'm currently recruiting most of JPL and Nasa's staff to complete the project. I'll award you the honour of the first beta test.

Should probably get ESA on the case. Their experience from the Cassini-Huygens mission should prove valuable.

That was obvious once they gave up trying to make CPUs run faster and started cramming more and more cores into computers. I remember when each year the latest CPU's speed was far faster than the previous year's model. Over the last few years I haven't noticed any dramatically faster CPUs on the market.

My laptop's seven or so years old and I can't detect much or any improvement in the stuff on the market now unless you're spending big bucks. I guess the development'll go into size and efficiency now.

It's similar to technology overall. In the 1960s we were looking forward to going on holiday around Jupiter. Instead we get phones that can record the decibel levels of our farts while we sleep.

Overall, the debate has proven to be as acrimonious as it has been divisive. Accusations that Bitcoin Classic essentially constitutes a coup, as well as allegations that Bitcoin Core is acting at the behest of the startup Blockstream, have thus far colored the nature of the debate in recent weeks.

Today’s release is unlikely to change this state of affairs.

Perhaps, but it does end the uncertainty.

Ether up another 25% today. Is this you doing this??

Then you reiterate the dogma of the one and only way forward and basically warn against the horrors of the peoples rule and independent thought in the collective. To top it off you sound an alarm of the struggles of the future and promote eternal vigilance in the collective.


This rhetoric is used regularly among collectivist populist authoritarian regimes to signal a purge in the population and maintain discipline.

You appear to be seriously confused about general anarchist thought. I am perfectly happy living and working besides other people with different politics and belief systems. If my neighbor to the left wants to start up a communist collective and not use currency, fine. If my neighbor to the right wants to live as a slave under a tyrannical government willingly ,** shudder**.... but fine ....There is a a difference between letting my opinion being known and imposing my opinions on others with violence and coercion. I do have a problem with people supporting and paying for the murder , torture and kidnapping of innocent non -violent people and will defend them if necessary.

I think I see things pretty clearly. But you're right, someone here is confused.
