I find it very funny how similar the wording is between this and how America phrases what it does to "protect the public".
Yet everyone laughs at China but takes Merica seriously..

The real problem isn't XT. The real problem is that there is no good means to break a serious impasse.
XT is a tiny problem - many alternatives exist to get bitcoin to scale. But XT taught us one thing, Bitcoin is extremely fragile when the core devs can't naturally reach agreement in conversation.
It's not Bitcoin that's fragile per se, just the current prevailing, yet warped, concept of open-source that makes it appear so. The fact that Bitcoin is both open-source and a consensus mechanism means that anyone can not only read the code, but also alter it and make their own clients with their own custom rules to govern the network. However, these rules only come into being if enough users securing the network agree with them. This is more powerful than most people realise. Anyone perceiving an alternate client with a fork proposal as a threat, or worse still, calling it an attempt at a coup or dictatorship, or thinking that all the core devs have to agree all the time has fundamentally misunderstood the concept of open-source decentralisation. Just because the majority of the users securing the network agree that Bitcoin Core is the correct rule set to govern the network at the moment, it does not mean that this will always be so. Being a developer for Bitcoin Core does not grant you any special power or authority over the network, nor should it. The definition of "consensus" in Bitcoin is not a single group of developers agreeing on a rule and the network enforcing it without question. The true meaning of consensus is that any developer can propose a rule and the network chooses whether to enforce it or not. Ergo, Bitcoin is inherently resistant to authoritarianism. It would be incredibly difficult for a single developer to seize control or enforce rules that the majority disagree with. It's actually quite beautiful and I can't wait for the rest of the world to catch on. If politics and governance works in a similar fashion at some point in the future, we might have something that actually resembles the democracy we are supposedly meant to live in. This right here is why I believe we will never hear from Satoshi again, Satoshi's point of view will override everyone else at this point. No matter his purposal, no man should have that type of power. I believe Satoshi also believes this thus will never be heard from again. At least not as Satoshi. |

Regardless, I really don't understand why people care what he would think anyhow.
He is the only person that when voicing his opinion in this matter, could actually be considered unbiased, since he was the creator and in theory would make the best choice for Bitcoin/bitcoin, and not for himself. His decision in this matter, if 100% verified to be him, would end the debate immediately, IMO. But, as I have said many times, I believe he is no longer living as well. One man should never have that much power. Satoshi comes off as a brilliant man, women or group. They will never return, their opinion is now regarded as gods opinion.. such power is bad. Satoshi created bitcoin for the people, Satoshi can no longer be involved, Bitcoin cannot have one person/group that decides it's future. |

They will hang him and claim it was suicide, the retarded planet will believe it and that will be the end of it.

...Is what he should do, like the other time (when he said that he wasn't Dorian).
Why? I think he should stay gone forever... people will just blindly follow satoshi.. that isn't good. |

Sure. Miners are now rewarded with 25 BTC for solving a block. That number will be cut in half in 2016.
So, according to what you said, starting in 2016 the miner/pool who get to solve a block will get 12.5 bitcoin instead of 25 bitcoin? Yes this is correct. bitclock.org |

It's strange how people can be fed completely different info and possess completely different impressions about what's going on in the world. Maybe I don't watch the news enough and am missing something because I find it hard to understand what can put people in mind to support the Harper gov's propositions.
To me they seem counter-intutive. Other's may feel that they're the only way that they'll be safe.
If harper told Canadians sucking his dick would help stop isis there would be a million person line up. LIke 20% of our population is full blown fucking retards. They understand nothing about the world and believe what ever harper says as true. I know these people.. "ANY THING TO BE SAFE BRO".. these people (there are LOTS OF THEM) shouldn't have the right to vote. Talking to people at my work is like getting the news regurgitated back to me,but worse. Watching the news should really open ones eye to how bad things have got in the last couple of years. Every story is washed down and missing important aspects that are geared to lead you down the path they chose from the start. I know eh.. it's painful. I feel like throwing up in peoples faces when they start giving "opinions" that are really just exactly what they read on the news. Never thought about it just accepted CBC or CNN as fact. |

Super nodes... sounds heavily centralized.

But.. It's not a problem..
The idea one thinks it's a problem points to they do not understand consensus algorithms..
Huh? It's not a problem cause anyone who wants a safe transfer has to wait a bunch of confirmations. This now takes that need away, ie safe transfers under a second. I'm pretty sure Bitcoin can't do that. What if someone gets 51% for a couple hours and creates a bunch of coins....? How do we fork out those coins? |

Just wait until another 2008.
You won't have time to buy in though.. it will be moon bound in mintues.. legit.. minutes.

99% of crypto people believe BTC is #1 thus it is #1...\
HOW do you plan on changning my mind that some altcoin is worth more?
Same reason gold is worth so much more than silver.
We all believe BTC has a lot of value therefor it does. How do you change that belief to coin x?

The blockchain is enforced by time.. after 100 blocks one assumes we aren't forking from that.. after 5 blocks.. it's still reasonably likely a fork could happen.

The level of security on online wallets can't compete with the local wallets! Why not use local wallets? You control your own private key and ease the concerns!
This... blockchain is a great "spending" wallet... one should NEVER store large amounts of bitcoin on an online wallet. Offline is the ONLY way to go. |

The issue is not the country, it is ISIS. Making it illegal to travel to Somalia, or Iraq, or the Sudan, or Afghanistan etc. I dont support terrorism.
Let's say I want to go backpacking and Somalia is one of the countries that I want to pass through with some of my European friends. Please tell me how I am negatively impacting the life of even one Canadian, to conclude that is criminal activity??? I understand Canada taking a stance to not help if something goes wrong while traveling in those countries, but going straight to a criminal is a little much. Canada isn't taking a stance at all they are trying to get more and more power over their slaves. |
