Carnival and the jazz fest are much better. Mardi Gras is more for alchoholics and immature boys who are impressed by a set of tits.
For that reason alone I will support Classic, just to make sure I'm on a different fork to you and your JazzCoin. /s Come on PissPukeFunCoin!! Yeah, a jazz fest is reasonably sophisticated and mature, but the very best, most mature thing of all is smoke-and-alcohol-free Mime Fest. In Canada! Fkn jazzers...
Anywhere but Canada.  I once ate a bag of potato chips from a batch where they forgot to put the salt in. Made me think of Canada. |

The problem according to anarchists (and other collectivists) seems to be that people they disagree with get to vote as well. Anarchists and other collectivists?? WOW. (See link in sig, if you want to learn anything...) I'm sorry to tell you that there's nothing there. He's saying stuff every 14 year old have thought about, but in a way you only will hear in a cult or a sect. If you really want to know something about the world you're living in, and about freedom, then here's a list to get you started: - Plato: The Statesman
- Hobbes: Leviathan
- Descartes: Meditations
- Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals; Critique of Pure Reason; Critique of Practical Reason; Critique of Judgement; Metaphysics of Morals; Perpetual Peace.
- John Locke: On Liberty
The Republic is a horrible authoritarian dystopian fantasy. Plato’s politics always makes me queasy. Which makes The Statesman all the more interesting. You can see the power of the critical mind. He dissects politics in a way that clears the path for a modern democracy, even if he can't see it himself. I'll take your word for it. I gave up on him after he outlawed poetry.  I'm pretty sure he's dead. You can read his works under a blanket with a flashlight. |

When your 1GB hard drive is full, you don't buy 1.1 GB hard drive, you buy 2GB or 3GB hard drive
When your 1Ghz CPU is too slow, you don't buy 1.1Ghz CPU, you buy 2-3Ghz CPU
(of course recent years CPU upgrade only gives you about 20% increase in performance so I have not upgraded for years, therefore the block size bump can be dangerous without sigop limitation )
When your 1MBps Network is too slow, you don't buy 1.1Mbps, you increase to 10Mbps
Any upgrade less than 2x is a maintenance release
I got a 4 TB HDD drive. But I also got a few small SSDs. I got an old dual quad core server, so that's 8 cores, or 16 threads with hyper-threading. I think that's the trend now, get more cores. New server processors come with 12 cores or more. I've seen 18, and I'm sure I read somewhere about a 64 core Intel Xeon. Has 48 GB of RAM. That's too much for a desktop, but that's nothing compared to servers of today in 2016 (they have 128 or 256 GB of RAM, and root hint DNS servers are supposedly 4 TB of RAM.) Everybody get gigabit networks now. Matter of time before more people are on gigabit internet speeds as well. Best post in the thread. Not sure what your point was, but I like reading it. |

... How is the "democratic principle" working out on our planet? ...
On the planet? Slavery nearly abolished, literacy. standard of living, and nearly every other metric: up! Myself, I'm farting through silk But you, your life didn't work out too well, I take it? And you blame ...democracy? Because can't possibly be your own fault? The problem according to anarchists (and other collectivists) seems to be that people they disagree with get to vote as well. |

Cool! I can't help noticing that there doesn't seem to be a lot of dust there. It's almost as if people are genuinely using Bitcoin. |

Is it just me or are we just waiting to take off after the blockchain controversy has been dealt with?
 It's not dead, it's resting.

Cool, well built. I like the examples they've added for use cases. nice to see you here! with all the shit going on in the bitcoin-world eth seems like a good "safe haven" Nice to see you too! I've been following Ethereum for over a year now. It's the only alt (if you can call it that) which brings anything really new and meaningful to the table. And since its main purpose is everything else than money, there's far less right wing nutters going completely ape in ethereum. Haven't really accumulated much eth though, but I finally ordered a used graphics card to do some mining. Ethereum is going to be big. Bitcoin may be what the IMF and Wall Street has been waiting for. But Ethereum is what the world has been waiting for. And if their decision to cap total amount of eth sticks, their token should be quite valuable as well. I think the decision is not to cap the total amount of Eth. The Eth to be issued every year is fixed. The inflation will be low in the future. They really have enough time to figure all out until the Serenity, but yes they were talking about no inflation or a very, very low yearly inflation, about 1% to be more precise. All in all I am just happy that they have dropped the initial plan of more than 20% issuance in the first 5 years. Now we also have a very valuable token. Ok, I should probably try to get up to speed on this stuff. There's been a lot of back and forth. I sort of liked the 20% issuance model. It would keep tokens cheap and make it less useful as a P&D coin. But I guess they have to push some real value into the system somehow. |

In past they have but you have to have substantial order. Home/hobby miners are not their customers. But look at like this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1167388.0 . They also sold Bit-X 1 PH long ago - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=896350.0In past they have sold to big commercial operations. So not sure where you got info they don't sell at all. SP I see as going for same customers as the SP50 was geared twords big operations. But again still lots of questions few answers. I sent them an e-mail. They don't sell hw, but they sell "hash capacity" starting at 1PH. If you bring enough capital... they do sell . You can see in past big operations they sold to: But look at like this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1167388.0 Were talking about a lot of money, and NDA's. I think you talk to them with substantial capital selling can happen, at least it has in past. But just emailing them for buying no you will not get far at all. One link where someone is selling old gear and another where Bitfury explicitly says they're not selling HW. What am I missing? The Bitfury light bulbs? That is genuinely good news! |

Again, forking is fine. Just do it with consensus -- or otherwise implement your fork as a stated altcoin. There are two camps here: one camp that either doesn't understand or doesn't care whether bitcoin is broken into multiple ledgers forever based on differing rule sets, and another camp that wants to avoid that. The block size debate is not worth breaking consensus over. This is exactly what I've been trying to tell Fatty. He's just very set in his ways.  When the time comes, and you're on the wrong side of the 75%, then you're the one who's standing in the way of consensus. So, don't be bad. Bad is not good. And when you're on the wrong side of the 75%... rabble rabble rabble! Two can play at that game.  In all seriousness, as I've said, a majority of hashpower is only good enough to trigger the fork. You can assume that everyone will immediately update to Classic nodes and therefore that only one chain will survive. But that's unlikely. I sure won't be updating. Let's see how it pans out. Ok, but then you'll have to take some of the responsibility for the bumpy ride. BtcDrak and Peter Todd have plenty of experience with alts. Maybe they can join Luke-Jr on his JeebusCoin and you can all GPU a bit. That'll be cute. |
