What did you expect to read? Maths and crypto, for things related to social engineering, populist methods, consensus and forks?

So when he sided with Core on Core vs XT, he ended up on the loosing side? Makes sense.

...global markets continue to melt, as oil hits 12 year lows, and the whales who move the BTC price sell to cover losses and bottom feed in other sectors.

Are you even aware there is a global economy, and Bitcoin's fiat price is determined in that context?

Or are you so fixated on Blockstream all other matters fade into the background, as your obsession increases your derangement to the point where you are reduced to ranting about  an absurd, utopian scenario wherein "the fork goes off without a hitch?"

Tell us more about how _Classic's contentious hard fork will be a cakewalk, and the conquering Gavinista heroes will be greeted as liberators with roses, candy, and ticker tape parades.

#CoreRage is now a thing!  

So a legit proposal equals to him trolling them? Makes sense.

ROFL.  That is so fucking classic!  

ToominCoin FTW   

Can you clarify a technical advantage of classic above core with segwit ?

As Far as I am aware Cores proposal comes with 45 developers, proposal is already further along, written and being tested right now, comes with many other improvements, and has practically the same capacity advantages as Bitcoin Classic/BIP102.

I really don't understand why people would pick Classic unless Segwit is delayed for some reason or for political reasons which I am not interested in as I want to judge each proposal by their technical considerations.

If classic was a 2+4 BIP + Segwit that may be interesting because it would contain all the advantages of segwit and have an effective 3-4MB capacity and than 6-8MB effective capacity with plenty of headroom to put off future forks for a couple years. It may have some centralization tradeoffs , but at least it is different enough to consider and make interesting. I know why Jonathan Toomim is so dissapointed that his proposal was vetoed for such a conservative one now.

Bitcoin classic is BIP 102

Summary of differences between core+segwit and classic now -

Classic - BIP102
Effective 2MB block capacity + possibly removing RBF + possibly versionbits
5 developers maintaining

Core
Effective 1.75-2MB Block capacity
Version bits , future fraud proofs doesn't work, signature pruning, simpler script updates doesn't work, fixing malleability allowing future payment channels doesn't quite fix malleability - huge risk potential.
45 within a month less than 10 developers maintaining 

Both are good.... but Classic isn't that exciting now that they decided to remove 2-4 + segwit as an option.

Obviously you're slow. I'll repeat it once again for you.

We'll stick to main bitcoin branch. Period.

You're free to fork it under whatever name you wish - XT, ClassicBitcoin, UnlimitedBitcoin whatever. Percentage of current hash rate you'll take after forking is irrelevant. Bitcoin doesn't care. Bitcoin existed and flourished with far less hash rate few years ago.

So looks like Bitcoin classic will be a fallback for miners if Segwit on core doesn't roll out quick enough.

Nicked it from Lauda's profile page

Your tears are delicious.

I saw you rage tweeting BitFury earlier...     No matter, "socioeconomic consensus" doesn't need miners... amirite?

The tide is turning against the Blockstream takeover. Can't say I didn't try to warn you. 

You've been bootlicking the wrong powers. Bitcoin routes around attempts to steer and control it, about time you learned that. The control you believed they possessed is slipping like sand out of a clenched and mailed fist.

I'm salivating about buying up a piece of Mircea's suicide short this spring. I would try to buy some of your rage dumping too... but your join date probably makes that goal moot.

 



Blockstream Core... #REKT

What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with the system. The system is unharmed and the maths behind it are impenetrable (in the todays world). This is about the sheep of this world and the corrupt media. Most of the media quickly picked up on this as the ultimate truth even though Hearns words have no meaning anymore and are backed by nothing but bias and rage (due to the failure of his project). I'm quite annoyed and tired of this constant nonsense. These people need to be shamed for all eternity.

This is wrong. Have you not been watching the news? This is spreading everywhere like a wildfire.

source? From the Classic developers statements on slack and elsewhere I see them favorable to segwit(but perhaps more in favor of a hardfork rollout instead which is fine to do in conjunction of a blocksize increase because most of the problem with hardfork is coordinating everyone ) Cores main problems with a hardfork is the difficulty in coordinating this responsibly. If one is going to perform a hardfork you may as well do 2MB+ Segwit and the appropriate sigop protections being adjusted.

Bear whales taking advantage of negative news to juke the markets in an attempt to steal from weak hands. Don't fall for it and penalize their insolence by taking their coins.

according to the figures I see bitcoin is down 9.67%in USD but only 6.76% in CNY. Is such a gap usual?

That'd be great. But what makes you think so? (Besides there's bitcoinco.re now)

Doesn't matter.  That was the story we wanted to tell, and XT was insufficiently antifragile to counter (much less survive) our malicious narrative.

Please decry our underhanded, dishonest tactics even more.

Let us know exactly how distressed you are by such dirty tricks.



Don't hold back, vent all your pent up rage about being on the losing side of Bitcoin's Grand Schism.

I'm sure with some reasoned discussion there could be reconciliation between Classic and Core

OP is right. In loosing Mike Hearn and Cryptsy, the bitcoin ecosystem has just shitted out 2 of its biggest liabilities. Just a brief dip in price and onward!
