As a well known belligerent and long time troll here... You've lost the right and legitimacy to ask for or demand anything. That standard cuts both ways. IE, As a well known belligerent and long time cheerleader here... You've lost the right and legitimacy to ask for or demand anything. See how that works? Don't you agree that mindless pumpers and belligerent attack-the-attacker cult enforcers are equally bad as so-called trolls? The Russian scammers of the Livecoin brigade are especially lacking in the legitimacy department, as you have duly noted. And that goes double for the Craptsy apologists, who actually caused people to lose coins by aiding and abetting a scam exchange. At least the so-called trolls, in their own way, advocated caution and due diligence. |

Something has to be done about the current limitations on the bitcoin platform.
Or what, Bitcoin will be d000med and die again?  Blockstream has been testing their segwit solution since last year and the code for Lightning was just make public. So you can calm down now. |

xpost: He [Dr. Adam Back] is not even an active contributor to core code. I did never understand why he pretents he's a speaker for core.
meh, he is trying to put out fires all over the place. They are way over schedule with their LN plans ( as in nothing works yet) and I'd say gregory maxwell probably got the blame for that - hence why we dont hear from him. I'd say if he cant convince his backers on Monday morning that he has a workable plan to counter Classic he could be in real trouble. His rather weak effort to misrepresent the f2pool announcement makes me think he is out of ideas. He is really clutching at straws - he is even quoting that half baked Cohen article on Hearne, as if its credible.
Adam Back is three moves ahead of the Tooministas and will force you all to concede, just like he made Hearn flip the board and storm off in an (exceptionally whiny) Epic Rage Quit.
Nobody except politicized pro-governance coup/contentious hard fork advocates favor 2MB TumorBlocks over Dr. Backamoto's 1MB tx + 2MB witness blocks. The rest of the world wisely seeks to avoid catastrophic consensus failure, while you relish the cheesy Hollywood TV Trope narrative of a cathartic moment that cleanses Bitcoin of its filthy Blockstream infection.
The more strenuously you push for "doesn't need much testing" TumorBlocks with none of the advantages of well-tested segwit (tx malleability fix, etc), the more foolish and desperate you look to those outside your manufactured-dissent-afflicted Reddit Army.
The cherry on top is the political pressure from the most malcontented reflexively anti-Blockstream to modify _Classic such that it intentionally breaks RBF, CLTV, Lightning, sidechains, and segwit.
Those innovations, which are being painted as undesirable, are starting a food fight in the _Classic bikeshed that will never end.
The logical outcome is that the anti-Blockstream haters take over _Classic, while the less rabid more reasonable Toomincoiners fork off into _Classic++ or _Classic Ultra or whatever the hell Brian Armstrong's vision for Bitcoin_Classic Pro software-as-a-$3000/month-service is.
_Classic is already #REKT by internal contradictions (EG Justus R type liberatarians vs jackboot-licking SJWs). If it manages to avoid being stillborn, it will quickly succumb to birth defects. |

How long will this pump last? Any predictions? I see rises like this usually don't come more often than once a year. Don't want to be a bagholder this time.
Pump will last until Otoh and the other Craptsy losers replace their 450,000 stolen Dash, or the Russian scammers that run Livecoin pull a Gox and dump, or Evolusham turns into an ever-receding mirage, like Masternode blinding. |

I just hope that this incident generates the much needed attention on the current block size problem. Something has to be done about the current limitations on the bitcoin platform.
Yes, I too hope the non-existent block size problem and Hearn's NYT-hyped reaction results in a Blockchain Alliance favored solution. Let's call our anti-cypherpunk fork "PanoptiCoin." |

Bitcoin's been called dead before. What's interesting to me is that it seems to keep getting back up after being knocked down.

75% is higher than the majority needed to change the constitution in most parliamentary democracies.
You think that matters in a consensus-critical distributed ledger? That's adorable!  No, I was just making an example about how groups of humans function together. Or not, as in this case. I'd rather be right and a black sheep than succumb to social pressure. Clearly, you prefer the latter. Have a good time in the Toominista hive mind. I'll be over here providing thought leadership for the rest of the flock. |

To do that we must first break the monopoly/centrally planned economy/committee of core by moving to classic. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/688395414525972480Brian leading the charge in the takeover attempt. Using lying propagandist language like centrally planned/committee, while the plan is simply to increase his control and influence. Yet his business gets promoted by bitcoin.org. It does not deserve to be there. He is a threat to Bitcoin. Brian, a threat to Bitcoin? In his Pointy-Headed CEO dreams! More like a threat to social injustice. LOL.  ^Justus R is the libertarian that famously declared "Anyone who isn’t actively working to expand and empower the informal economy is wasting their time" in his " Only the Black Markets Matter" essay. Can't wait to see how he gets along with the regulation loving, jackboot licking, left-wing statist SJWs of the 'let's stop Bitcoin criminals' Blockchain Alliance! Dis gon be gud....  |

Livecoin isn't half as legitimate as Gox. At least we knew who ran Gox, and he was one of us (MagicalTux).
The real question is why you aren't being appropriately skeptical and cautious about some random exchange suddenly appearing and pumping an instamined soda machine coin with "bad crypto" up 45% in four days.
Hence my obligtory tounge-in-cheek "seems legit" posts. Even Bigrcanada got the joke, FFS. What is your malfunction? Conflict of interest?
hi loser, we all know you are a troll, a fascist, and a liar. And now also a censor deleting on-topic posts in your pathetic moderated threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg13577026#msg13577026please, keep some dignity and move back to your cave. Oh wow, you sound really pissed off. Did I hit a nerve, toravich? Livecoin = Russian scammer site confirmed |

Whiny RagequittingI characterized Mike Hearn’s farewell essay as a ‘whiny ragequit’. I did this because it is, well, a whiny ragequit. He attempted a hostile takeover of Bitcoin with Bitcoin-XT, and now that he’s predictably been made to feel like persona non grata in Bitcoin development he’s throwing a tantrum on his way out.https://medium.com/@bramcohen/whiny-ragequitting-cab164b1e88#.jzgscxsoz Ouch. Hearn better put some ice on that burn. people who are best at science and engineering have generally neglected their skills at public rhetoric And that's why it's up to people like brg444 and myself to have their backs when the mob starts howling for heads on pikes. |

Miners control bitcoins. Wrong. Users control bitcoin. The miners simply perform a service for a fee. |

Well that lasted almost as long as KnC's brief commitment to XT/101. ToominCoin support is a mile wide and an inch deep.  |

Brian Armstrong of Banker-Owned Coinbase Says we need a "FOR PROFIT" fork?
As if monitoring how Coinbase customers spend their Bitcoin's wasn't bad enough.  |
|
|

Theymos bans coinbase for testing a different client.
The ban wasn't for testing XT, but I know you want to promote that false narrative. Brian Armstrong is a Grade A shitlord and doesn't grok Bitcoin at all. Besides the support for contentious hard forks, and all the abusive privacy invading crap Coinbase does to their customers, and the Bitcoin Blacklisting Blockchain Alliance, there is this:  |

ppl who lie and know they've done something wrong tend to hide. who's hiding now? Maxwell? well shit.
Yay, Frap.doc is back! Where have you been hiding, and why did it take you so long to get bored of painting bikesheds there? |
