Thanks. To support your claim about the economic majority could you provide some metrics about the number of coins stored in BIP 101 wallets compared to the number of coins stored in legacy Core clients, please?
Of course he can't and won't - he is a shill and isn't interested in science but politics. |

I don’t care and I won’t be using it as I will be in the camp that needs more capacity as of right now.
That is the camp of non-existence really - as no-one needs more capacity now. The blocks are not even being filled at 1MB (only the spam attacks made that even look like it was happening). So you guys invent a non-problem - create a bunch of hysteria about it and then threaten to fork. Go fork yourself! Personally I think you are a bunch of gutless people as you don't actually do what you threaten (why not fork tomorrow?). |

Any source of these metrics? Anyway, it's not a majority of people that counts, its the economic majority.
There are links to show that hardly any miners are signalling BIP101 support - and you are very wrong about the "economic majority" - just shows that you don't even understand how Bitcoin actually works (typical of a shill). This is the typical mindset of the wealthy - I have the money so I make the rules - Bitcoin is going to make these people "wake up". |

You want people to be forced down your path while they don't so it just won't happen. You'd better accept that sooner than later.
You only have 7-8% of people - so we'd better accept that this low percentage should rule Bitcoin? In your dreams (you are starting to look ridiculous - hope that your shill masters are not reading your poor posts).  |

They can fork if they want, I can't wait. Just do that.
Agreed - I will be happy to take their funds and then spend them again on the "real blockchain". |
|

How is that an insult?
How about you actually provide a valid argument that doesn't talk about "egos"? It is rather clear that you are a shill - but at least you should have better "shill arguments". |
|
|
|
So yeah, deal with it. No one will lose anything else but their ego and businesses don't care about yours.
I see - so your argument now is just reduced to throwing insults. Am not surprised because there really isn't any other valid argument at all. |

Bitcoin is money and money makes business happen. Businesses rely on timing their operations and Core fail to meet that timing. They are now forking, deal with it.
This is exactly the sort of psyco behaviour I am talking about - "deal with it". Deal with the fact that you will lose! We are not going to be bullied by the likes of XT or its shills. Bitcoin doesn't need to be "rushed to market" - only the pyschos are trying to do this in order to take it over. |

As of right now, but businesses that are investing at putting rails to make it happen in the near future and bring the mainstream to use it through their services needs more capacity. They won't let their investment go away, they will use the code that meets their needs. I'm not sure what is so hard to understand about that.
They don't need to "take over the coin" in order for that to happen. Why can't you understand that there is no need to rush to do this (except that it seems you are a shill for XT)? |

There's nobody against increasing the block size in a well planned, consensus based manner. What many of us up against is hijacking development, hijacking the blokchain and forcing a minority opinion to the majority for the sake of the financial interest of that minority.
You nailed it! |

This is your opinion which a lot of people and businesses disagree with. Feel free to ignore those who find bitcoin convenient and want to do more tx with. Now they are forking you.
You say so and so do others wanting to control BTC but the fact is that I don't know *anyone* that uses BTC to buy anything beyond the members of this forum. Even Microsoft *dropped* BTC as a payment option (and they are not the only company to do so) as basically no-one is using it. |

My guess is that the Chinese exchanges will follow too as they also need capacity for the exact same reasons.
My guess is that the Chinese are not going to be bullied by the US and there is no actual need for the capacity (as trading on exchanges is not done on the blockchain). Very few people are actually using BTC for normal txs - it is simply not convenient and the fees to get your BTC make it actually a stupid idea (this whole argument about needing more volume of txs is actually just rubbish). |
|

That is for regular traders. Occassional traders and new traders who want to join the rush need to send their fund to exchanges for trading. Not many leave their fund on exchanges and this not a good practice either.
The majority of traders do not just jump in and out using regular BTC transfers as that is basically far too slow anyway (I guess you don't actually use any BTC exchanges). |
|
|
|
Miners will go where the big bucks are. Plain and simple. Or put it simpler, hash rate will go where the big bucks are, irrespective of the actual Chinese miners.
The "big bucks" are in China (another plain and simple point you seem to have missed). How did BTC ever get to over 1000 USD - China - how has BTC suddenly jumped up in value recently - again China - you seem to really have a trouble with China. Don't like Chinese people? |

I'm not sure to understand you point. I don't think Mike Hearn is being paid by anyone of these businesses. At least not of right now.
So you think he works for nothing? (I'd suggest you look a little deeper) |
|

Most trading txs are not even on the blockchain at all (they are on SQL DB's that exchanges run).
|
|
|
|
If the businesses that sells the most coins to the public decide to fork, miners will follow. There is no doubt about that.
I don't see any Chinese following this - so no - total US attempt at a takeover that will lose (you seem to have not understood that the most BTC is being traded in China not the US). |
|
|
|
Yeah they are psychopath because they don't want to see their investment vanish and their businesses to go bankrupt  Oh - then why does Mike Hearn keep saying he doesn't have any much Bitcoin (and he is not the owner of any business is he)? No, he is just a coder. Who he are, what he does in his life and how much bitcoins he hold is irrelevant to the code that will be used by the industry. So he is not relevant to your comment about "their investment vanish" - who is (my guess - the people that pay him)? |
