I disagree pretty hard here. What "Bitcoin" is ain't what the Bitcoin Core devs say it is - it's what the PEOPLE using it say it is. If aforementioned people support something that the Core devs don't, and it's implemented and they use it, then it IS Bitcoin. I don't make the rules, a thread like this would probably end up being moved here if I didn't do it myself. That's also the reason why I believe this is better suited here, because I've seen threads about other fork attempts being moved in the altcoin section. But anyways, aside of this disclaimer on top of the OP, I hope I'm doing a good job at keeping this thread informative and neutral. |

Historically, bitcoin's price goes down during Christmas celebratory season or after. The holiday is followed by new year's eve and Chinese new year on Feb 8 and celebrations. Play it safe, sell some of your coins now only to re-buy as the price goes down.
December 9th. We've still got plenty of time till Feb 8 for the price to fall even further, but my prediction was correct. I'd like to know what all the wannabe moon men in this topic think now that the bubble has popped and the price keeps falling.  |

Code was supposedely released before they went AWOL. Would it be possible for a fork to happen with the code that is already out?

We likely wouldn't even know if they used bitcoin.

There are better ways to solve the problem than getting the forum to host the image for you via a hack. How about tor hidden services? Magnet links?
Tor hidden services aren't ideal for hosting and sharing content. I'm not sure about what you have in mind for image hosting, but from personal experience I'd say that .onion sites have a hard time competing with clearnet ones in terms of uptime and general reliability. Wouldn't it also require a "hack" to display images hosted using "hidden services" here? As of magnet links, I could think of some issues but first of all, has a way to host and embed images using magnet links been developed yet? |

If base64 was used it wouldn't matter if any website went down due to the image being hosted on here.
Wouldn't that take up more resources (i.e. storage) for the forum? That's true. Base64 increases the size of images nearly 30%, and if we wanted to cut off middlemen to take advantage of the pros I mention it should be hosted on the forum as text. Thing is, the forum is already storing quite a lot of text, base64 would likely end up being used by advanced users which imo wouldn't be a big percentage. The main advantage would be that images using base64 would stay up as long as the forum does, plus there's not going to be any need for proxying (which has proven to be unreliable). |

I'd be interested to help. I haven't had the chance to play many bitcoin games but I've tried the few well known ones. Back from when bitvegas was a thing.  |

I'd say that the most reasonable branch has been Core. Somehow, the fact that so many prominent developers are involved, helps it satisfy the needs of the community mutually while being a solid piece of software. I don't see how people see a future for bitcoin in anything aside of a single core client.
