What kind of a racist fucking asshole are you anyway?! 

Simple.  Make 4MB blocks tomorrow.  Still Bitcoin.  Always Bitcoin.  4MB will let the network expand for another 3 years maybe.  During those 3 years, we should work on some nice alternatives to scaling.  But for now, 4MB is a very conservative little adjustment.  Only a few lines of code to remove a limit that was put in long after the genesis block anyway.

They are not improvements to bitcoin.  They are altcoins designed to enrich Blockstream - a privately owned company.

Thank you for doing that.  I hate when they delete my messages.  Assholes. 

Best way is to go on LocalBitcoins and find someone willing to sell a large amount of bitcoin.  Then meet them with some fake cash or a gun.  After they transfer bitcoin to your address, give them the fake cash.  Or pull out the gun and shoot them dead.  

This always works.  I don't know anything that works faster.  

A negroloid telling others to get a dictionary, lol.  Hey 'thug', how's life?

This pretty much explains why is an asshole like the whole bunch of those idiots at Blockstream trying to own bitcoin via the liquid bullshitery.

How in the world is it that the mods don't ban you? 

You are garbage man.  Pure, unadulterated stinking garbage. 

How about if you argue the science instead of calling names?

Great, then Omni/Mastercoin is also Bitcoin and CounterParty is also Bitcoin.  


SegWit is not the Bitcoin Blockchain.  The bitcoin blockchain is enforce by the protocol.  SeqWit is an alternative protocol.  

Omni transacts Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network.  Counterparty does too.  Your definition is completely fucking stupid.  Nearly all of your responses are similarly so.  

Lots and lots of possible alts 'transact Bitcoins, on the Bitcoin network. '

LN is WILDLY different that the original protocol.  SegWit is VERY different than the original notion of signature.  These are enormous changes being marketed as 'Bitcoin tweeks'.  They are actual not Bitcoin, and they are not tweeks.  

Blockstream proposes a very different cryptocurrency - and the control commit access to make it appear to be 'Bitcoin'.


Blockstream is not Bitcoin.


as for carlton.. ignore him he knows nothing about LN
Carlton is a moron best ignored in all his fanatic Blockstream defenses.  Does Blockstream pay him?

Why does Core call everything an 'alt' but their wildly variant version of Bitcoin gets entitled to be 'the Bitcoin'? 

Don't be fooled: SegWit is the alt.  Lightning is the alt.  These radical changes are being forced into the network because Blockstream has been able to convince a few Chinese miners (not decentralized) to follow their stupidly dangerous plan.

See, here is the problem with crowdsales.  Who will own the profits of Factom?  Draper just invested $4.2 million. Will the people who bought the 'tokens' get the profits or will Draper?  Of course, Draper.  What will the token holders get?  'Access' to the network.  But all users will have 'access'.  Originally, Factom token buyers believed others would have to buy factoids (tokens) from them at a high price to use the Factom network.  But surely Draper isn't going to let that money on the table fall off the edge into other people's pockets.  So, what will the token holders actually get?  Nothing.  

Draper owns the profits from Factom and any imaginable scheme whatever won't distribute those profits to 'token holders'.  

Total bait and switch.  This is why the SEC won't allow 'crowdsales' with cryptocurrencies.  There is no enforceable obligation for an admin to fairly distribute profits to the token holders.  If this were a typical equity deal and the admin and 'preferred investor' tried to run off with all the profits, there could be a shareholder lawsuit.  With crypto, the 'shares' or 'tokens' don't represent a share of profits.  There is really no obligation whatever for the underlying company to do anything for the token holder.  

Don't believe you are investing in a company when you buy 'tokens' in a crowdsale.  You are really buying false hope.  Factom proved it perfectly.  

Stop this trolling shit.  Nobody around here needs your type of reason.  This forum operates on entirely different principles and logic isn't welcome here.

It's just fun to say that, but everyone knows that even if 95% wanted some change, if Greg and Core and Blockstream were in that 5%, they could manage to 'convince' dumb Chinese miners that a hard fork would result and they should stick with Core. 

It isn't really Open Source.  A tiny minority can prevent a very popular change due to the difficulty reaching 'concensus'.  Threat of possible hard fork scares Chinese.

They've already made this.  Jaxx. 

Poloniex will definitely fix this.  Those bitcoin are not lost.  The troll box was probably just some asshole messing with you.   

Easy - just send it back.  If you have the private key of the USDT address, then it is a bitcoin address and it holds both bitcoin and USDT.  just do a bitcoin transaction to send bitcoin and sign it with the USDT private key.

If you don't know how to do that, then just import the USDT private key into your favorite wallet.  BAM~ you bitcoin will be there after it syncs.

This article proves it is already dead: http://qz.com/769771/how-bitcoin-was-brought-down-by-its-own-potential-and-the-banks/

Keep saying this over and over - doesn't make it true.  

Blockstream 'Consensus' is achieved because Blockstream has tricked (scare tactics) a few Chinese miners into backing their stupid plan to move data to a 'side chain' where they will be able to charge fees for access.

If you had a genuine vote in the community, this would have been settled long ago.   

You are totally blind.  Bitcoin is fully centralized. 

Bitcoin is controlled by a few people (about 4) who work for Blockstream who easily manipulate large Chinese miners (about 5). 

If an actual open vote occurred with the top 10,000 most sophisticated Bitcoin users, we would have switched to large blocks a long time ago.  Satoshi expected 10,000 sophisticated users running voting nodes by this point.  However, mining became highly concentrated and centralized and now Blockstream has found a way to 'rope them in to their plan'.
