Sometimes people think through things and change their mind, it’s shocking I know. At first I was hateful of Bitcoin Cash, but then realised that it’s not so bad as a niche tool for payments, similar to LN.

If I could facepalm any harder I'd likely knock myself unconscious.  No.  Funnily enough, none of that mindless drivel is what I'm proposing.

What I'm proposing is that the more you obsess about Wright/Ver/Wu/etc the more power you give them.

These personalities aren't important.  If you had even a fraction of sense you'd realise people only think they're important because you and all the other paranoid nut-jobs on this forum literally can't stop talking about them.  You're like their greatest PR consultant.  Keep giving them all that free publicity and making people think they're a big deal.  Or, better yet:

Shut.  Up.  About.  The.  Goddamn.  Boogeymen.  You.  Utter.  Cretin.

You and those like you continually reinforce and perpetuate the rift you helped create by focusing on egos, agendas and other such pathetic vanities that are in absolutely no way useful to the goal of further advancing a revolutionary technology.  People like you are directly culpable for creating an environment where this "Us vs Them" tribalist caveman mentality makes it impossible for anything but further splits and fractures.  Literally everything you are is far more damaging to Bitcoin than your chosen devils could ever be.

It's like you're trying to make a bad situation worse.  Kindly do Bitcoin a favour and just stop existing until you have a clue in your head.  Please. 

I get the impression that cobra sold his credentials last year: He put up some sketchy warnings about the binaries on bitcoin.org then went quiet for a long time.

When he came back he started posting some really over the top rbtc conspiracy theory nonsense on reddit. When people moved to take action about it he suddenly said "oh my account was hacked" and dropped it. But the account wasn't use for the kind of petty vandalism that you normally see when a hacked account can't otherwise be used... Since then he's been slowly cranking up the psycho behavior, and right now he seems not far from the sudden behavior of the 'hacked' account.

Given that I'm not surprised to see the BCH pumping, and of course ignoring that whatever "better for payments" argument you can currently make for BCH could better be applied to Litecoin (which also has a lower interblock interval, AND segwit) and yet litecoin has mostly gone nowhere.

FWIW, no one wants a POW change more than Bitmain. They crank out chips privately for even obscure POWs then dump them on the public once they've reached diminishing returns on their own production. With sha256d they're competing against a huge installed base. Moreover, Bitmain has gone around unethically and unlawfully claiming patents on basic mining techniques like series wiring the chips to reduce convert costs which were in use prior to Bitmain and where any competitive mining device for any POW would adopt the same techniques.

take off your blockstream dev defense hat.. and instead of the band camp/defense attack rhetoric... argue about BITCOINS ethos and utility.
all people are trying to hint to you is that you care more about the blockstream devs having ultimate decision powers and no one else should

take a step back from the keyboard. make a cup of coffee and think long and hard about WHO/WHAT you are defending

You don't have to like it.  But at the same time, you have to recognise that calling upon someone in a position of authority to take action and forcibly remove someone you perceive as a threat is wholly antithetical to the ideals you supposedly subscribe to as a Bitcoin user.  As is trying to orchestrate a witch-hunt complete with pitchforks and burning torches to take their ownership away by coercion.  That's not how we do shit here.  You can't "win" by abandoning the fundamental principles that guide us.  

Maybe just use your words and make a compelling case as to why Cobra is wrong to say what they're saying.  Then allow people to decide for themselves which one the correct view is.  You know, like a civilised human being.  Is it really that difficult?  

All this bandwagon/populist crap is just stirring up unnecessary drama.  If anything, you're hurting your own cause by provoking extreme reactions to what are actually pretty trivial issues.  If people like you were more tolerant of differing views, there would be less division in the community overall and there may not even have been a split that people would feel the urge or need to defend against.  

Or, to put it more succinctly, you have to accept responsibility for your own involvement in how BCH came to exist in the first place.

Think on that.

Για όσους θέλουν να πάρουν το Bitcoin Gold, να ενημερώσω οτι υπάρχει wallet στο official site του Gold (Bitcoin Gold Core Wallet v0.15.0.2)
https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/
Θέλει κατέβασμα το blockchain και μετά εισαγωγή τα private keys. Ίδια διαδικασία με το Bitcoin Cash.
Φυσικά, πρώτα θα πρέπει να έχετε μεταφέρει τα Bitcoin σε άλλο wallet, και ακόμα καλύτερα να έχετε ήδη πάρει και το Bitcoin Cash.
Έτσι τα private keys θα είναι ""άδεια"", θα έχουν δηλαδή μόνο το Gold μέσα, οπότε σε περίπτωση που το wallet είναι scam, δεν χάνετε και τα υπόλοιπα.
Το συγκεκριμένο πάντως, δουλεύει χωρίς πρόβλημα.
Όποιος/α θέλει περαιτέρω λεπτομέρειες, ας επικοινωνήσει.

It makes sense if you consider that a contentious hardfork which could potentially divide the Bitcoin community in half would be incredibly beneficial to BCH, because it would create further confusion about which Bitcoin is the "real" one.  Regardless of what the "noble cause" is purported to be, more disruption and infighting is categorically not the way forward.  I, for one, don't buy this notion that we need to "save Bitcoin from the miners" with the nuclear option of an algorithm change.  It's a pretty flimsy pretense for making an enormous mess and, personally, I don't believe it to be sincere.  

At best, Cobra simply isn't particularly knowledgeable about all this and they were the "silent partner" for all these years for a pretty good reason.  At worst, there's some sort of attempted manipulation going on that we shouldn't fall for.

It doesn't matter what you think the problem is.  Nor does it matter how dangerous he might be in your paranoid fanboy delusions.  It wouldn't even matter if he was under the direct influence of whatever boogeyman you're soiling yourself over at any given point in time.  That's all completely 100% irrelevant.  The point, which you seem utterly incapable of grasping, is you are in literally no position to say he can't own something that already belongs to him.

If you can't respect the basic concept of ownership, what are you even doing here?

You said:

No.  False.  Cobra "must" do nothing of the sort.  Get over yourself.  

You also said:

No.  False again.  Having partial ownership of a domain name does not preclude Cobra from discussing topics you personally find undesirable.  Again, get over yourself.

Aside from that, I like how anyone who gives the slightest hint of legitimacy to BCH is automatically assumed to be the equivalent of a cyber-terrorist who is being mind controlled by Jihan or Roger.  It's good that you're being reasonable about these things and not resorting to grossly exaggerated caricatures.    

How do fruitloops like you even function on a day-to-day basis?  I honestly do wonder sometimes.

Bitcoin Cash has its flaws, many of the prominent people in their community are shady and their development process is flawed. But if you ignore all the stupid ways it's marketed, in some ways, it's actually somewhat useful. There was a huge need for some type of blockchain with the particular characteristics of BCH;

Litecoin never really took off in a big way for payments, and LN is many years off from being a reliable way to pay (and comes with its own set of issues which make it less suited for certain types of payments).
