There would be no war if people weren't selfish and following their own agenda
Well, we agree on something finally. So... when are you lot going to stop DDOSing, Spreading FUD, Lying, Manipulating, and following a whiny & childish scorched earth policy of trying to destroy Bitcoin if you can't control it??Nobody can control bitcoin. Only forkers want to destroy bitcoin... by forking it. The hard fork is going to fail. Shhh let the deluded Noobs around here and their segregated big blocks multi client Peter r encoded fantaisies going on. Useless people needs their forum drama going on for they at least feel impotent important somehow. I know where the office of your team is located and I am going to post it on Wikileaks, soon. That's great news. I look forward to putting in a resume! |

you are correct. for some reason i didnt see that...
Probably the same reason you think a confederation is the same thing as a democracy. IE, you are not very intelligent.  |

So i guess the foundation owns the trademark? Does that mean we are fucked if blockstream takes over the foundation?
The Darkcoin Foundation is a problem for the future of Dash, just like the instamine. Who else is interested in a clean and fair relaunch of this project?
I propose to call it Dash Classic.It's the best way to route around the Foundation and instamine, which are holding back Dash by keeping it relegated to scamcoin status. |

Wow, somebody just took a gigantic red dump on the Dash market. They better see a doctor about that (unless they had beets for dinner). Why would anybody want to market sell that many masternodes? Don't they care about slippage? Do they know something the rest of us don't that caused them to panic? Maybe the Evolution demo isn't going to be ready for Miami. If it was open source, we could all follow its progress and make sure it isn't ossifying around any bad ideas. How people can believe in closed source software written by some Wizard of Oz hiding behind a curtain is beyond me. |

I'll make sure Evan Duffield and The Darkcoin Foundation Inc. go to jail for their HYIP securities fraud and unlicensed money transmitting.

There is a certain "academic approach" in Bitcoin from people like Adam Back (an actual academic in a sense) and Greg Maxwell that you have to appreciate. It involves developing small advancements (or small wins if you prefer that phrase) that are extremely well supported with research and mathematics, and is often focused on advancing knowledge in ways that won't even ever be deployed on a large scale.
That is very different from a more commercial approach that often tries to deliver a "solution" to "customers", but often delivers stuff that isn't very well supported or sound, and almost inevitably becomes obsolete and ultimately outcompeted or leapfrogged by some other commercial product.
Monero, by the way, has a somewhat intermediate approach (that is my observation and opinion, not a statement of policy).
Given a choice between startup-style 'failing fast' and crytographic best practices (which are by nature necessarily highly academic), I prefer Monero tend toward the latter approach. I'm here for a new and improved (complement to) Bitcoin, not a fancier version of Apple Pay. |

But we can grow much faster if its able to be used freely by businesses.
And the bigger the businesses that use it, the more quickly it will grow.
This is dangerous rhetoric which undermines the whole project. Need we remind people we are not investors in paypal 2.0 but a p2p currency that was designed to be self regulating and p2p outside the reach of corrupt banks, regulators and central planners. We can fix technical mistakes along the way and even increase the blocksize if needed, but one thing that cannot so easily be undone if whitewashing and corrupting Bitcoins primary principles in order to hastily become mainstream for some big payoff. If you believe we need to move quicker , than lets indeed work together and solve these problems in solidarity... but taking lazy shortcuts, especially ones that go against bitcoin's raison d'être and undermine everything. This is pretty much exactly the point that I have been trying to make (thanks for elucidating it better than I did). To me it is clear that this "pressure" to "fix block size now" is being applied simply in order to take control over the project and is not going to be of any benefit to anyone other than some large corporations who are wanting to profit by taking control of Bitcoin. If the precedent of "fixing" the blocksize for no good (ie urgent) reason is set, it will continue to be "fixed" until Bitcoin is broken and bereft of its interesting antifragile properties. But that's not going to happen. Like Hearn and his XT minions, the Toominista vampires are going to break their teeth trying to take a bite out of Satoshi's neck. Should their first strike penetrate the Core Defense Network, a large red button labeled 'Proof of Work' may be pressed. Core's second strike, in the form of a switch from SHA2 to Keccak or CryptoNight, will leave Bitfury's $300 million mines worthless for anything but mining ToominCoins, as the real Bitcoins will go back to being distributed among the world's CPUs/GPUs. That won't make the very serious men in very dark glasses who funded those mines happy, to put it mildly. |

Did Bittorrent become popular without MSM coverage? I'm not really sure. Yes, it did. The Bittorrent whitepaper was a breakthrough in p2p not matched until Satoshi came along. All the cruft of Gnutella (anti-leech arms race kludges, supernodes, etc) was swept away by Bram's brilliantly elegant tit-for-tat algorithm. Classic example of the world beating a path to the better mousetrap's door. Everybody still uses it, 20 years later. Please ignore the MSM, so it will go away ASAP. Now excuse me, I need to watch The Kelly File!  |

What's the harm in a jump to 2MB??
If you were here to converse in good faith, you would have already researched that exhaustively-debated topic. I admire your 'energy vampire' attempt to wear us down by repeatedly asking already answered questions and attempting to restart the conversation back at square one. I don't think you are actually a Toominista; you smell more like a Buttcoiner here to troll. In other words there is no harm in raising the maximum block size to 2MB (other then it would destroy blockstream's business model) IOW, you are not here to converse in good faith, and thus cannot be bothered to establish basic familiarity with the exhaustively-debated "why not 2MB Right Fucking Now" topic. Sorry, not tonight dear! |

Large market buys...and 0.0014!!!Shorts are being bent over and spanked. New monthly high achievement unlocked. Feels like we are turning a corner on the end of cheap early XMR. It's getting kind of expensive to buy a reasonably decent sized (18.4k, 0.1% emission) stack. A return to the 300+ BTC volume days of yore will take us to the moon!  Someday, Monero might even be mentioned by CoinTelegraph!  |

What's the Classic position on opt-in RBF?
Our polling shows that there is almost no support for it (and lots of opposition towards it). For this reason, opt-in RBF will not be included in Bitcoin Classic. Classic is censoring supporters of RBF! It's literally worse than the Khmer Rouge!  Good luck with your Toomin dictatorship and its (feature) killing fields. You can take our RBF, but you will never take our freedom! Says the one who supports censorship the most and opens threads that are censored by himself. Noone with half a brain listens to your orwellian BS. Orwellian? Like how Big Brother Toomin memory-holed RBF, by removing even the option to enable it? At least I know the difference between the Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft and a democracy. That's pathetic, given that you live in the Confoederatio Helvetica! |

Another thing that I want to know is: Why is Eduardo Castro (Icebreaker) not yet in jail? Surely he must be facing some kind of lawsuit??
Fraud or what i don't get it ? Maybe he is in trouble with Latapie's French fraud Marketing group shit ? Perhaps a coincidence but he quietly removed his avatar support for French National Front soon after you started the Monero French Scam investigations.  Zut Alors! Moi clever scheme, undone by zee pesky kids of Le Evan's Gate cult!  |

I hope you aren't giving votes to people like me. We know nothing! I hope they will. Such is democracy. Here in Switzerland, wherever the entire population can vote on individual acts, everything works better than elsewhere on the planet where experts and Politbüros are deciding. The Core developers and cheerleaders prefer to speak on armed squares. The Bitcoin Classic people prefer those squares: http://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/landsgemeinden.htmlDid you vote to get rid of banking secrecy? Did you vote to betray all those who trusted Swiss banks to protect their families' saving from predatory governments? Did you vote to peg the Franc to the Euro? Did you vote to suspend/relax that peg? Did you vote for negative interest rates? |

FTFY. My best guess is Evan is a stool pigeon, and Dash is a honey pot. Anyone else that broke as many security regulations and money-transmitting laws as Evan would have been busted a long time ago. |

I say Bitcoin will never gain widespread adoption without regulation.

Classic is censoring supporters of RBF! It's literally worse than the Khmer Rouge! Why not give users the option of enabling (disabled by default) RBF? Is Classic "making zero-conf tx as safe as possible" to ensure Bitcoin is Starbucks-compatible? @BitFury doesn't like that "fancy Visa" BS. Time to route around Classic's (unconscionably heavy-handed) RBF Ban by forking into Classic2 - where popular features won't be prohibited by law. Good luck with your Toomin dictatorship and its (feature) killing fields. You can take our RBF, but you will never take our freedom! |

Maybe when Greg Maxwell and Wladimir van der Laan and Matt Corallo (and possibly others) quit working on Bitcoin because the block size gets increased they can come work on Monero full time Team Dash already has dibs on XT's Mike Hearn. It's only fair Monero gets the unappreciated/disgruntled guys from Core!  |
